Hi Friend! The day is finally here. I am sharing our fireplace reveal. It honestly feels so surreal when I pause for a moment and look back at all the months I spent dreaming about our fireplace makeover being complete!

I would like to say this is the makeover reveal we have all been waiting for, because for some of you, you have been just as invested following along from the start. After many months, and lots of time and sweat put into this makeover, the reveal is finally here! I'm so excited to share our fireplace makeover reveal with you! ...

Fall Planter Ideas
Hello Friend! The kids are back to school, and even though our temperatures aren't reflecting it, as we make our way into the middle of September, I know fall weather will be here soon! We have have had a bit of a heat wave here in the northeast these last two weeks (I think summer wanted one last hoorah!), which makes it hard to get in the mood to decorate for fall. But nonetheless, my wheels have been turning on what I want to create for our fall planters this year. So I thought it would be fun to share some fall planter ideas with you, as I brainstorm what I might want to do this year, and help us get in the mood. Let's get ready for fall ~ ...

August | Embracing Transition
Hi Friend! I recently heard that August is the transition month between summers sweet ending and falls new beginning. I think whether you have kids in the house who are getting ready to transition back to school, or not, you can't deny there is a shift in the air as we are on the brink of a new season arriving. I still find myself asking the questions "how are we in August already"? Yet here we are, with the kids going back to school in less than two weeks. I've been learning to embrace a few things as the seasons shift from one to the next, and become more aware of transition and the effects it has on me, and I wanted to share a few thoughts on those with you! So as I savor the last bit ... Read More about August | Embracing Transition
Summer Living Room | 2023
Hi Friend! It's hard to believe that summer is almost coming to end as we find ourselves in the middle of August. These past few weeks we have had the most perfect summer weather. The kind where you can't wait to throw open the windows, or head out to the hammock in your backyard for a midday summer nap. However you have been spending your summer I hope it's been a good one. This past week I felt so inspired to get out my camera and take a few pictures around our living room, something I haven't done in a long time. So before the weather begins to turn and we are talking all things fall, here are a few snippets around our living room, and how I've styled it for summer. Come and See ~ ...

Fireplace Makeover Part 2 | continued
Hello Friend! Yesterday I shared the beginning phase of our fireplace demo! And oh my word was that a messy process. Tearing out brick and mortar is no easy task, and involved all hands on deck. We hung plastic up to try and contain the dust. Put drop cloths down to protect the floors, but nothing prepares you for removing brick piece by piece. It was a messy job, but a necessary one if we were going to be able to give our fireplace the makeover we were longing too! Today we are picking up where I left off - the fun part! Or as I like to refer to it as the "pretty" part, where we begin to rebuild the front of the fireplace into the look we are wanting. Come and see ~ ...

Fireplace Makeover Part 2 | Demo
Hi Friend! Today I'm sharing part 2 of our Fireplace Makeover - the demo! If you haven't read the first post about our fireplace makeover, I recommend starting there first. You can read it HERE, and then come back to this post :) Have you heard the saying that goes something like "It has to get worse before it can get better" ? I feel like in most cases with demo that saying applies, it was certainly the case for our fireplace. I'm sharing the fireplace demo process with you, because it also helps explain a little bit better why we made some of the choices we did when for our fireplace makeover. Let's get started ~ ...

Cottage Inspired Guest Room Reveal
Hi Friend! It's been awhile since I've shared a room reveal with you. I realize I haven't even gotten around to sharing our first floor guest room reveal with you (I keep waiting for the perfect rug to finish that room off), but you might not have realized we have another spare bedroom on the second floor that we are using as guest room #2. Our first floor guest room has a king size bed and en suit bath, making it perfect for when our parents come for a visit. Upstairs, I've created the sweetest cottage inspired guest room with two antique Jenny Lind twin beds I found at a yard sale, and a few other second hand pieces of furniture. Come and see ~ ...

Raised Blueberry Bush Garden Bed
Hello Friend! Summer is in full swing here, and with comes some of my favorite kind of work - gardening! We have been chipping away at different areas of yard, since moving into our new home two years ago, and today I'm sharing some of the progress we've made so far in our raised garden bed. This space is actually one large rectangle, that has about a dozen blueberry bushes in it, some which are quite mature. So I refer to this area as our Raised Blueberry Bush Garden Bed. Come and see ~ ... Read More about Raised Blueberry Bush Garden Bed

The Gift of Making a Mistake
Hi Friend! Recently I was chatting with a friend about her home, and she was sharing with me how she had all sorts of ideas on things she wanted to do in her new home, but that she was afraid of making the wrong choice. Sound familiar? I think we all experience decorating paralysis at one time or another. In some areas we can be so sure of our design choices, but in other areas we can get so stuck second guessing ourselves that we feel paralyzed to the point where we can't even make a decision out of fear we will make the wrong one. Have you been there? I know I have, even with our new house. But I've also learned the gift of making a mistake when it comes to decorating my home, so today ...
