Hello Friends! If you've caught some of my more recent posts than you know I've been working on my husbands new office space for his company, and in all my time I've spent over there lately it's gotten me to do a lot of thinking and reflecting on our marriage. Tomorrow we celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary, and I thought it would be fun to share some of my reflective thoughts with all of you. In case you are in need of some encouragement, or perhaps a different point of view. Or maybe just a closer look into our marriage. So today, I'm taking a break from painting, and home decor, to talk about our married life. ... Read More about Tips for a Stronger Marriage

Inspiration for Every Room

I'm so glad that my last post, "the not-so-perfect home", resonated with so many of you! It sparked quite the topic of conversation when I originally asked the question on Instagram, and after reading so many great responses, I knew I wasn't alone. It's hard with Pinterest sometimes to feel like our homes don't always look quite as perfect, or are feeling a little less then "Pinterest - worthy" views, but I believe that even in those perfect homes, there is something the homeowner doesn't like. ...

The “Not-So” Perfect Home

I asked this question on Instagram last week because I had a hunch! There I was sitting one night scrolling through the gram, and it hit me - "I bet everyone has at least one area in their home that they aren't happy with" I thought to myself. Or at least they weren't happy with it until they fixed it! You know that problem area that you either over decorate to try and "hide" it, or completely ignore it determined it will always be a non-pretty area in your home, hoping that if you ignore it enough others might not see it too. Well the response was resounding, and here's what people had to say! ... Read More about The “Not-So” Perfect Home

Hello Friends! Today I'm excited to share details about a new project I have been working on! The hubby's NEW office space! I know I've never really shared before about what my husband does, other than when his handy skills come into play for a project that we're working on for around our house. Now I finally get the chance to create a brand new space for him at work, and I'm thrilled with the chance to work on creating a space that isn't geared towards the home. I'm sharing all the details of the new work space I get to create for my hubby's new office! ... Read More about Hubby’s Office Space

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!! I feel like every year at the beginning of summer vacation, I feel anxious that the summer will drag, and the days will be filled with statements of "I'm bored", however every year the summer seems to go by faster and faster, and I find myself secretly wishing for summer to slow down a little bit more. Never mind the fact that by the 2nd week in August, I am craving all things fall and cooler temps. So I'm reminding myself today, as I can't believe another week of summer has gone by, that soon it will be gone completely, so to savor each day! We are kicking things off today with another Farmhouse Style | Home Tour, and I'm so excited, lets get this party ... Read More about Farmhouse Tour Friday {vol.17}

Master Bathroom Design | 3 Ways

07/18/2019 By Bre

18 Jul

Recently I took on a small design client. After making the decision two years ago to no longer work with clients, I wondered if I ever would again. This was a friend of the family, who was renovating an old farmhouse, and needed help coming up with a design plan for their master bathroom. I get it, when you are renovating a whole house, there are a lot of details and decision makings involved, so having a fresh set of eyes help make those choices on style and tile, can really help. While I was creating her design board I realized just how much your design choices can dictate the style of the space. So today I'm sharing a Master Bathroom Design, 3 different ways! Check it out ~ ... Read More about Master Bathroom Design | 3 Ways

Visiting Delta Faucet

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Delta Faucet. All opinions are 100% mine. Hello Friends! I hope your week is going well! I had the incredible opportunity a weeks ago to travel to Carmel, Indiana to visit the Delta Faucet headquarters, along with 7 other influencers / bloggers. I have to be honest, I really had no idea what to expect on this trip, but was thrilled at the chance to be able to go and visit the Delta Faucet headquarters. What I found, was that this company offers so much more than just faucets- at their core, their first priority is the people, and being at their headquarters felt more like one big family gathering. ...

18 Summers

Hello friends!! I'm going off the home decor topic today for a little "mom-life" inspiration. While I love all things home and home decor, and creating a home my family will love, to me it means nothing if I don't have them to share it with. I shared HERE, about how I got invited to contribute to a mommy blog, and I'm happy to say that a year later I'm still loving it! It gives me an outlet to share on more of my day-to-day mom life, and the struggles I face, and encouragement I've found in my own motherhood journey. So I'm taking a quick break from sharing about home decor today to share a little bit of my recent mom thoughts with you! ... Read More about 18 Summers
