How I came up with Naming my blog “Rooms For Rent”

03/11/2019 By Bre

This idea stemmed from the last 2 interviews I’ve done, they’ve both asked me this very question. And while I shared a short abbreviated answer there, sometimes it’s nice to have a little more details, or insight perhaps, as to how I came up with the name, and why I chose to stick with it. I guess I should start off first by telling you that I hate naming things! Or having to come up with a name. Seriously, I’d rather do the dishes after Thanksgiving dinner than to come up with a catchy, yet descriptive and very permanent name for something! Talk about pressure.

A NEW Book & a GIVEAWAY!

02/22/2019 By Bre

Happy Friday Friends!! First I want to say THANK YOU so much for all of your sweet comments about how I decorated our entryway this year. I know sometimes in decorating it’s easy to know what to do with the pretty stuff, but the unsightly everyday items we need can sometimes be more tricky… like a dog kennel, lol! You can see our refreshed entryway HERE, but today we are going to PARTY!! My friend Karianne from the blog Thistlewood Farms has a new book coming out, and guess what?! It features our entire house!! And to celebrate, we are doing a GIVEAWAY!

New Categories on the Blog

02/08/2019 By Bre

Hello friends!! Happy Friday! I can’t believe the weekend is already here. I’ve been doing some work behind the scenes here on the blog, and I wanted to share with you, so it hopefully makes things a little easier to find. One of my biggest goals when I switched over to this new blog design was to make things easier to find. Photos, posts, categories – all of it more user friendly. Part of this new design has allowed me to be more specific with how I am able to display older posts, so I have created some new categories here on the blog, in hopes that it will make things easier for you, my beloved readers!

Home Tour on the Everygirl

01/23/2019 By Bre

Hello Friends, and happy Wednesday!! I’m so excited because today our home is being featured on the Everygirl! If you aren’t sure what the Everygirl is, it is a website created by two women for just that – the every girl. They share the most amazing content, covering just about every topic – relationships, life, fashion, home decor, they even branched out into motherhood with the Everymom, and today they are sharing my home tour along with an interview they did of me!

Goals for 2019

01/03/2019 By Bre

Each year I like to start things off by writing down some goals I have for the new year. I’ll be sharing more on how I do this personally, but I also set goals for the blog, and projects I want to do around our home. My husband and I joke that the winter is our “Project Season”, but typically it’s because we are cooped up inside due to impending snow. It’s fun to look back on goals I’ve set in past years. We don’t always get to every house goal we have for that year, but that’s ok, they are just goals, so we can shoot again for them the next year too. So here are my goals for 2019 for around our home.

A Year in Review {2018}

01/02/2019 By Bre

HAPPY New Year friends!! Honestly, my mind is still just in shock that the holidays have come and gone. I find myself hopeful with what the new year will bring, but also asking myself the question “Where has the year gone?”. I love taking a moment to pause and look back over the past year, as we are about to embark on a new one, because when I find myself asking that question, I’m reminded of just how much was accomplished this past year. I’m ready to jump into the new year after I’ve taken one last look back. 2018 was quite a year, filled with so many wonderful things, so lets take a look at the year in review.

I’m Going to Waco!!

10/13/2018 By Bre

Yes, you are reading that title correctly! Friends I am going to WACO! I’m seriously in a bit of shock and awe myself, like please somebody pinch me, can this be a reality, but YES I will be heading to Waco, TX next week to attend Magnolia Markets Silobration event with Kilz brand paint. I seriously cannot believe it, even as I am typing these words, that this small town girl from NH, gets to visit Magnolia Market during the Silobration event, and hang out with my favorite paint line to top things off!!

Summer Bugs & a GIVEAWAY!

06/08/2018 By Bre

Hello friends!! You may have heard me say this once or twice before, but I love throwing open the windows and doors in our house, and letting that warm summer breeze blow through our house. It’s so refreshing, but there’s one thing that tends to blow in that I’m not a fan of. As much as I love all that summer brings, I do not like the summer bugs that come with it. I realize that a summer without bugs is pretty much impossible, especially in the country, but there is something that makes it alittle easier to deal with. If you’re like me you probably don’t realize you need something to kill those pesky flies until you go to reach for it and it’s not there! I know I’m guilty of that!
