Currently Loving {vol. 4}

04/11/2020 By Bre

Hello friends! Happy Saturday! I hope your week has been well, and even though everyday can tend to feel like the weekend right now, I hope you are doing something that makes today feel a little special. Maybe it’s making pancakes for breakfast (that’s what we are doing), or going for an extra long walk! Whatever it is, I hope you are being refreshed in this current season of “staying home” that we are in. Today I’m sharing what currently has me swooning, and perhaps it will have you swooning too.

My Favorite Painting App

03/30/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends!! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! We had a wonderful rainy Sunday, and even though we’ve been home all week, it felt like just the lazy day our souls needed. We lounged on the couch, watched movies, played games together as a family, and just spent time resting together. During one of those lazy lounge sessions on our couch I opened up an app I’ve actually had for a few years now, but found myself completely content within seconds as I started transforming some of my favorite photos into watercolor paintings! So in case you are in the mood for a little watercolor therapy, grab your paint brush … or ummm .. your phone, and check out my favorite painting app!

5 Things I’m doing Right Now during Social Distancing

03/26/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends! Today I’m pretending like you and I are sitting down with a cup of coffee. I’d say on my couch in my living room, but since we are all supposed to be social distancing right now I’m thinking that would be considered taboo? So we are just going to have a virtual cup of coffee together instead, and I’m going to imagine we are chatting just like I would be with my closest gal-pal about all the struggles of being home right now, and what I’m doing to stay sane. I came up with 5 things I’m doing right now during social distancing, and hope this helps you as well!

Staying Thankful even in the Unknown

03/21/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends! It’s been quite a whirlwind watching the news unfold over this last week. The headlines have been anything if not shocking about the covid-19 virus, an easy opportunity for fear to creep in with so many unknown facts about what the coming weeks could look like for all of us. I know that I never talk about politics or what’s going on in the news, and this is in no way a post about my thoughts on all that is going, but rather my efforts to stay thankful in a time of uncertainty.

If you could use a little hope & encouragement right now, than this is for you~

Coffee With Bre

01/31/2020 By Bre

Did you know I have a FaceBook group? You may have already known this, in fact some of you are in the group, but as this little private group grows into a community, I can’t help but think of one thing – YOU! So today I want to tell you about “Coffee with Bre”.

We Each have our Own Gifts

10/27/2019 By Bre

Happy Sunday friends!! I’m just popping in, as we wrap the weekend up to share a little bit of a personal story. I love sharing bits about our home, and projects we might be working on, and of course my love for interior design, but I also love being able to connect with you on a more personal level. And even though we aren’t sitting face to face, in cozy chairs with a warm cup of coffee nestled between our hands, my heart is always to provide encouragement as well. I shared a bit in my IG stories last week, and I got so many messages back saying how much it resonated with people, that I wanted to share it here. So today I’m sharing a bit of a personal story.

The Gift {to} Gather

10/07/2019 By Bre

Hello friends!! Thank you SO much for all of your sweet comments over the weekend, as I shared who my grandmother was to me, and the impact she had on my life! I dedicated my book to her, and after sharing it with everyone on Instagram, I knew I just had to share more of who this amazing woman was! You can read all about my grandmothers house HERE, in case you missed it, but after reflecting on the type of woman she was, it got me thinking – “How did she do it all?” If you have ever struggled with getting together with others, or even inviting someone over, you are in good company my friend, because so have I! Today I’m sharing the struggles I’ve felt, and the gift it is when we gather.

Tips for a Stronger Marriage

08/04/2019 By Bre

Hello Friends! If you’ve caught some of my more recent posts than you know I’ve been working on my husbands new office space for his company, and in all my time I’ve spent over there lately it’s gotten me to do a lot of thinking and reflecting on our marriage. Tomorrow we celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary, and I thought it would be fun to share some of my reflective thoughts with all of you. In case you are in need of some encouragement, or perhaps a different point of view. Or maybe just a closer look into our marriage. So today, I’m taking a break from painting, and home decor, to talk about our married life.

18 Summers

Hello friends!! I’m going off the home decor topic today for a little “mom-life” inspiration. While I love all things home and home decor, and creating a home my family will love, to me it means nothing if I don’t have them to share it with. So I’m taking a quick break from sharing about home decor today to share a little bit of my recent mom thoughts with you!
