Decorating Ideas that Reflect Your Personal Style

01/28/2023 By Bre

Now that I have been living with my home in clean slate mode for a little bit, I’m ready to start bringing back my everyday decor into our spaces. The pieces that we live with day in and day out. The ones that I feel like they truly reflect our personal style. I started thinking about why I choose the pieces I have, and how they reflect our personal style, and it got me thinking. How are you feeling about your own home decor right now? Now that Christmas is behind us and put away, and spring has yet to come. How are you feeling about the decor in your home? Are you ready for a refresh? Do you feel like something is missing? Today I’m sharing my top decorating ideas for how to decorate your home so that it reflects your personal style.

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!

New Home Office

02/24/2022 By Bre

Today I am sharing with you a brand new space from our (new to us) home. One that you have not seen before, and didn’t even make the cut in the New Home Tour (shared HERE), or the New Home Tour video (shown HERE). This room is located in the front of our house, just off of the kitchen, and when we first moved in it served as a space to hold moving boxes we were still going through. It was great to be able to shove some boxes off to the side (out of sight) when we first moved in and were unpacking, which is why this room never made the cut. But I’m happy to say we now have this room up and functioning as a home office, and I can’t wait for to see the transformation!

How to Create a Gallery Wall

02/04/2022 By Bre

When it comes to hanging things on the walls in our home there is nothing I love more than creating gallery walls. I sometimes wonder if it speaks to my teenage years where I would cover the walls in my room with giant collages of cut out pictures from magazines. There are many different ways you can create a gallery wall, and styles depending on the frames you choose and how you group them. I recently added a new gallery wall in our living room, so today I’m going to share my process with you in how I go about choosing art to create a gallery wall.

Mudroom Inspiration

of a clean slate state, with minimal decor out, now is the perfect time to dream up some new inspiration. So today I’m sharing the mudroom inspiration I’ve gathered, and the vision I have for this space.

How I Styled our Hutch for Christmas

12/21/2021 By Bre

If you have been following along on moving journey this year, then you know this year I have no shelves to style for Christmas. Our open shelves in our kitchen at our previous home were one of my favorite areas to style for Christmas. In fact it was usually the first place I would start to decorate, and I just loved the added touch the Christmas decor would add to my already favorite spot in the whole kitchen. If you haven’t seen how I styled the shelves in our old kitchen for Christmas, you can check it out HERE. However, this year instead of styling shelves, I have a new hutch to decorate! The hutch in our dining room is all decked out for the holidays, so today I’m showing you how I styled our hutch in the dining room for Christmas.
