Neutral Fall Decorating Ideas

09/26/2023 By Bre

Are you ready to decorate for fall? But not quite sure how to keep a cozy, neutral aesthetic with your fall decor? Friend, I’ve got you covered! I’ll be the first to admit, I love fall! Living in New England, we get the best showcase of all the beautiful autumn colors. And while I love the vibrant colors fall is known for, I don’t necessarily love decorating with those colors inside my home. Does that mean I have to skip out on decorating my home for fall? No way! Come and see the softer side of fall.

Dining Room Updates | 2023

09/21/2023 By Bre

After recently sharing our fireplace makeover with you, I realized I haven’t shared the updates that have taken place in our dining room. It’s probably because these updates happened slowly over the course of a year. One little update at a time our dining room is starting to take shape, and look more and more like the space I envisioned. Of course, I still have things I want to do in the space to add more warmth and character. But after looking back at where we started, and how bare our dining room sat for awhile, I’m excited to share the most recent updates our dining room has had. It’s a great reminder that progress can be made, if it is in the form of one tiny step after another.

The Gift of Making a Mistake

05/31/2023 By Bre

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 I’m sharing about making mistakes with our home decor, and the gift that comes from taking chances.

Favorite Frames & Artwork

02/07/2023 By Bre

I think sometimes deciding on what to hang on our walls can be the hardest part. I often get asked where I buy my frames, or find my artwork, so today I’m sharing my favorite frames & artwork with you! What we choose to hang on our walls can say a lot about our personal style, and the artwork we pick is a great way to reflect our own unique style. So if you’ve felt stuck on what to hang or where to look for new pieces to refresh those walls in your home, I hope you find this post helpful!

Gallery Wall Tutorial + Sources

01/31/2023 By Bre

One of my favorite ways to decorate that reflects our personal style is with a gallery wall. Whether you use artwork, or family photos, what we choose to hang on our walls can say a lot about who we are, and reflect what we love. If you have a lot of wall space in your home, hanging a collection of smaller frames in a grouping to create a gallery is an easy way to fill a space, and can often times be more affordable than a large piece of artwork. I recently tweaked the frames I have hanging over our console table in our living room to create a larger grouping of frames, so today I’m sharing how I created this gallery wall and sources for the frames and artwork I used.

A Clean Slate for the New Year

01/10/2023 By Bre

Happy New Year!! I hope your New Year is off to a great start! I have been embracing the post-holiday “slow down”, and finding contentment in doing less these days. There are a few things that I like to do at the start of every new year in our home. And as I’ve learned to embrace winter, and find comfort in the stillness, I am beginning to looking forward to this time of the year more and more. So in case you have found yourself in a post-holiday slump or fog, I wanted to share my process with you and the steps I take to create a clean slate for the new year. Today it’s all about the home, and next I will be sharing how I do this process in my life personally as well.

Cozy Fireplace Seating Area

04/08/2022 By Bre

Today I’m sharing the progress we’ve made around our fireplace. When we first moved into this house I just knew I wanted to create a cozy seating area in front of our fireplace. I imagined myself sitting there, listening to the crackle of the fire while enjoying a quiet moment with a hot cup of coffee. The space around our fireplace is not large enough to be a room all on its own, but I approached decorating this space with the mind set of how I would want a keeping room to feel. I had a few challenges in making sure the furniture I brought in not only fit the space well, but could hold up to the everyday traffic. And I think you will see I found the perfect chairs to create this cozy fireplace seating area.

How I Style my Hutch for Spring

03/30/2022 By Bre

It may not feel quite like spring outside this week here in New England, but the calendar tells me it’s coming. March can always feel like a weird month, almost stuck in this in-between sort of state. With the tease of a couple of warm days, and day-light savings, the promise of spring is on the horizon. But with the bitter cold days of winter still lingering sometimes you aren’t sure what season you are in. I’ve been doing a little refreshing around our home, with spring on my mind, so today I’m sharing how I styled my hutch for spring!
