Featured in the Cottage Journal

By Bre

Friends I am so excited to tell you , that I am being featured in the Cottage Journal magazine as the blogger of the month! Each month, the Cottage Journal magazine picks a home decor blogger to feature, and I am their featured blogger for September. Seriously, it feels like a dream come true to be recognized by a magazine as a successful blogger, because not one realizes the struggle and the hustle that goes on behind the scenes. If you are familiar with my story at all, than you know in the beginning I was so afraid that no one would take me seriously because I didn't have a degree from college saying I was a "professional". After years of pressing onward, and pursuing my dream, I can ... Read More about Featured in the Cottage Journal

Fall Tablescape | Seasons of Home series

By Bre

Whether this is your first time visiting, or you've been a regular reader for a while, it's no secret I love creating tablescapes! Honestly they are probably just about my most favorite thing to do ever, and I'm so excited to be participating in todays Season of Home series - Fall Tablescapes, hosted by Kristen from Ella Claire. This past spring we expanded our outdoor patio area, and transformed what was once over grown weeds and debris into this outdoor eating area. We have been fully enjoying this new space all summer long, and I'm so excited to continue to use it this fall, as we gather for chillier nights around the fire. ...

Fall Vignette

By Bre

Hello Friends!! I'm so happy to be joining in another round of the Seasonal Simplicity Fall Series this week, this time sharing our fall decorated mantles or vignettes! Honestly, vignettes are my favorite thing to create - next to Tablescapes that is, I love creating smaller arrangements, and the flexibility to change it up as often as I feel, or leave it that way for months if I like. There is so much flexibility with it, and I like to think it's the one thing I've been doing since I was 13, lol! The dresser turned buffet in our dining room is where I change out my decor seasonally the most. I love clearing it off completely and creating a new vignette every time. For fall I like to keep ...

Seasons of Home | Fall Kitchen

By Bre

Hello Friends! I'm so glad you enjoyed my DIY fall "wreath" I shared yesterday! It had been quite a while since I had crafted if you will, and it felt so nice to do something a little different than just decorating. I shared the fall planter hanging on our kitchen door. It's the main entry we use, walking right into our kitchen, so I'm sharing some fall decor touches I did around the kitchen today, along with some blogging friends part of the Seasons of Home tour, hosted by one of my favorite bloggers Kristen, from Ella Claire! This is our 3rd year kicking off the Seasons of Home Tour series, and I'm so excited to be back at it! ... Read More about Seasons of Home | Fall Kitchen

DIY Fall Wreath

By Bre

Hello Friends!! Today I'm excited to be joining a group of over 20 other talented bloggers who are also sharing a Fall DIY wreath tutorial with you! I'm so excited to be joining in the Seasonal Simplicity Fall Series hosted by the lovely Krista from the Happy Housie.  I decided to do something little bit different than a traditional wreath. I love getting fresh wreaths for fall that will last me until Christmas, but since it's still supposed to be in the high 80's this week, I wanted to wait until the temperature drops a bit so it doesn't speed up the drying out time. I wanted something that could be hung on our door, but also used in other places around our house as well. ... Read More about DIY Fall Wreath

Farmhouse Tour Friday (vol. 13)

By Bre

Hello Friends!! First of all I have to say, I had every intention of getting this posted on Friday, but we had one thing after another come up, and there just weren't enough hours in the week to get all that I needed done between work and family. With back to school this week, and soccer practice starting up, we are trying to squeeze in the last bit of our summer bucket list. I'm so glad to have these precious memories with the kids home this summer, and I'll be sharing more on that soon. But for now, I am so excited to share this weeks Farmhouse Style Home Tour with you!  ... Read More about Farmhouse Tour Friday (vol. 13)

A dream…

By Bre

I shared part of my story over here on the blog over 3 years ago. 3 years in the blogging world can seem like a decade! And so I decided I wanted to share it again for 2 reasons. One being that even though this is a home decor (mostly) blog, I am passionate about encouraging other women to chase their dreams. This past year in particular I felt more and more inspired to talk about it more with women in my own circles in person, and I've seen how sharing our stories not only encourages others, but empowers them too! And secondly there's more to this story that I want to share, but because it's been what feels like a decade (remember blogging years, lol!) I wanted to share it again, just in ...
