5 Tips to Help you Choose a Blog Name
I started thinking after my last post, and after reading some of your comments it confirmed my thoughts, that it can be tricky to pick a name either for your blog or your business. Sometimes I think it's the hardest part, everything else seems easy or falls into place when it comes to what you do, but picking a name to describe who you are and what you are all about can be the biggest obstacle we face when establishing our business. I shared with you how my blog name came to be, but I also have a business. Many of you already know this, but the blog is what spurred on my business. The blog gave me the courage to finally start something, and go for it. After blogging for about 9 months, we ... Read More about 5 Tips to Help you Choose a Blog Name
Behind the Name
I've gotten a few comments recently on where I got my name for the blog on Instagram and my latest Periscope clip. So I figured while I'm still on crutches and can't do much in the project department, I would take the time to answer this, because after all when you are following someone, it's nice to at least understand the name. If you've been around from the beginning, than you probably already know this. When the idea of starting a blog first started swirling around in my head, we had recently moved into our first home. I had all sorts of ideas for what projects I was going to share on how we were making our mark on our new home, but struggled for awhile on coming up with a name. Of ...

Thank you for allowing me to share my faith and feelings, and I'm so glad that it has encouraged and inspired so many of you!! Today I wanted to share some beautiful fall inspiration with all of you from some of my blogging friends. I know some of you might not be ready for fall, but I am :) I'm over the heat, and the humidity. I'm ready for cooler temps, crisp mornings, pumpkin spiced latte's, and sweaters. I know it can be hard some times to get in the mood for a new season when the temps haven't started to ... Read More about Fall Inspiration
Update on Life
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments and concerns in regards to my last post. It's so nice to read all your well wishes, it totally brightens my day. The recovery is going well, but the reality is setting in on just how little I can do. My husband and kids have been amazing at making sure not only am I taken care of, but our household stuff is getting done as well, to the best of their ability. I have to be honest, I've never been in a position like this before, where I have to solely rely on the help of others. I can't stand on my own, so crutches are a must, but even moving around a little bit is tiring. I can't carry anything, clear anything off, bring anything in and out of ...

When Life throws you Lemons …
I know, we all know you make lemonade. But what happens when you are out of sugar? Or in my case you just can't reach it?! If you caught my post on Instagram over the weekend, than you may have an idea of what I'm talking about it. But in case you missed that, or aren't on Instagram, I broke my foot while we were on vacation last week. We had a sun filled week on the beautiful coast of Maine with my sister and her family. We love this spot, and have gone back every year since our son was born. The houses have been in the family for decades, on a private beach nestled between two main attraction beaches, and we love that we are blessed to have not only a great vacation spot, but a place to ...

Art of Home |Modern Simple Living
When you think of the word "home" what comes to mind. Some words that I think of are inviting, warm, comforting, peaceful, safe, refreshing. Maybe some of my words were ones that you thought of too?! It's no surprise that we long for a space that is comforting and refreshes you as you spend time in it. When you think of your home, whether it's a 3 bedroom house, or a studio apartment, does it reflect those words that you think of when you close your eyes and dwell on the word "home"? To me home isn't about the size or status. We use words like "own" or "rent", "apartment", "rent a room" or "house", "single", "married" to describe our status, but it doesn't matter what your status is, any of ...

New Antler Art in the Dining Room
It's fun to switch things up, and move things around isn't it?! I've mentioned before, our dining room was the first room I painted in our house, it's a beautiful medium toned warm gray called Woodsmoke by Glidden. It was one of the Better Homes & Gardens color picks for 2011, the year we bought our house, and I'm still loving it just as much as when I first painted it. So while I haven't had an itch to paint it, changing up the wall decor keeps things fresh and new. I think it's no secret that I love antlers. So these new antler wall hangings are the perfect blend of rustic and vintage. ... Read More about New Antler Art in the Dining Room
Coordinating Paint Colors in my Home
Hi friends!! I shared a similar post to this over on City Farmhouse a few months ago, but I thought it would be good to share here too! I get asked a lot of times what the paint colors are in our house, or how I picked them, and this post answers a lot of those questions. When it comes to picking out paint colors, it's one of my favorite things to do. I know some cringe and shutter at the thought of picking out paint colors, but one of my favorite things to do is head to the paint stores and look through all the swatches. I love comparing colors against one another, seeing which ones have more of a yellow undertone vs. a red one. I've been known to repaint a room a time or two just ...

Gallery Wall tweaking around the TV
Hi Friends!! I have loved getting all of your feedback from my post on Monday, Creating a Space you Love. I know sometimes it can be intimidating seeing all these beautifully completed spaces styled perfectly on Pinterest. Sometimes you see something you like, but have no idea how to transform your space to resemble the ones you love that you see in pictures. I certainly don't claim to have a magic formula, but I do have a thought process, and it's one I use not only in my own spaces but when I'm working with clients as well. Point in case, the gallery wall in our living room around our TV. ... Read More about Gallery Wall tweaking around the TV
Creating a Space you Love
I think one question I get asked most often, other than where is my white slip-covered sofa from? Is what my style is, or how I would describe my style, and went about decorating our living room. Of course it didn't always look this way, I had a love for interior design, and creating welcoming spaces, but truly loving the space you live in, that takes some time. ...
