Hello Friends!! Whether you are going out to celebrate Valentine's Day, or staying in, taking time to celebrate the ones you love in your life always makes things more special. My husband and I joke now, that we don't need all the fuss in going out, that we are just as happy to stay home, and have date night in with takeout from our favorite place! While it's still nice to go out every once in awhile, staying in can be just as special. So whether you are celebrating with a special someone, your gal-pal's, or your kids, here are some pretty pink + white tablescapes for some added inspiration. ...

My Real-Life Fear

If you were to come over my house for coffee in real life, it's probably safe to assume that our house will look very similar to the photos you've seen online. Sure it always feels a little different to actually see a place in person than through the online looking glass you may have grown familiar with, but you would find things to appear pretty much the way they do here on the blog. I'd greet you at our kitchen door with a big smile, and a "Come on in!", which would then follow with the biggest hug you've probably had in a long time. It's true, you can ask anyone who has visited our home, I am a total hugger. But behind that smile lies a "real-life" fear. ... Read More about My Real-Life Fear

I mentioned in yesterdays post how one of the ways I love to add layers into my rooms is by layering area rugs. Now I get that this isn't always doable at first when you are decorating, because affording one new area rug can be pricey on it's own. But when looking for areas to add more layers to your spaces this is a great way to achieve that layered look we all desire, without over complicating things. Today I'm sharing some of my favorite layered area rug looks. ... Read More about Layering Area Rugs

My Favorite Home Decor Staples for adding Layers

In my last post I broke things down and shared how I add layers into our Living Room decor to create that cozy and inviting feeling you see. I started by removing all the added decor from our Living Room and stripped the room down to the bare essentials. Our sofa and area rug were all that remained. Then I shared step by step how I add pieces back into our living room - layer by layer. So many of the pieces of decor that I have in our living room I consider my home decor staples, so today I'm sharing my favorite home decor staples, that I love to use when adding layers to the rooms in our home. ...
