How to Find Furniture on Facebook Marketplace

02/10/2025 By Bre 9 Comments

It’s no secret around here that I love to find great deals on pretty much anything I’m in the market to buy. I love to hunt for bargains and search through clearance shelves, knowing I have stretched my dollars as far as they can go. One of my favorite places to look is on Facebook Marketplace. Most likely because of the convenience of being able to search through listings from the comfort of my morning chair with coffee in hand. I often get asked “How I find good furniture” on Facebook Marketplace, so today I’m sharing how I find furniture on facebook marketplace, with the hopes that it will help you find some treasures too!

Goals for 2025

01/31/2025 By Bre 2 Comments

Every new year, I like to begin by first reflecting on the previous year and then coming up with a goals list for the year ahead. If you caught my 2024 Recap post then you are up to date, and patiently waiting for me to reveal the secret project I finished last year (don’t worry that’s coming next). There is nothing I love more than the sense of accomplishment you get from crossing things off of that to-do list. Lists help me stay on track and remain focused on what to do next. And while not everything gets crossed off of the list when I think it will (remember, life happens), it fills me with motivation to keep going, keep tackling, even if it is just one small change at a time. As we settle into to 2025 I wanted to share some of the goals I have for this year.

2024 Recap

01/27/2025 By Bre Leave a Comment

Every year, before we start planning for the new year, I like to pause and look back at the year we’ve just had. One of my favorite reasons in looking back, is I’m reminded of all the progress we have made in and around our house. I vowed to myself when we moved here that I would take my time to savor each transformation, but sometimes I grow impatient with “taking my time”, longing to see more results, faster. Reflecting helps me appreciate all the time and energy I did put in last year, while also giving me fresh motivation for the year ahead.

Planting Spring Bulbs

11/17/2024 By Bre

Last week, I took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather we have been having this fall to plant my spring bulbs in our blueberry garden area. It was such a treat to work in the garden this late in the season, and I can’t wait to see what pops up in the spring. You will find links to each spring bulb I planted at the bottom of the post in case you want to plant some flower bulbs to enjoy next spring—it’s not too late!

Tabletop Turkey Decor

10/28/2024 By Bre

One of my favorite fall decor staples is my white tabletop turkey. I originally found mine years ago at Target in the clearance section (my favorite spot to hunt for marked-down decor), but since then, I have yet to really see them in the stores. Randomly, I might come across one in HomeGoods, but no place I could share a source online. Until today! Recently, a blog reader asked about my tabletop turkey seen on my fall hutch, and in trying to find her a similar one online, I actually came across a few that I liked. So, I decided to round them up and share them in a blog post in case you might be on the hunt for a tabletop turkey as well!

Welcoming Fall

09/24/2024 By Bre

It is officially fall! I’ll admit that sometimes welcoming fall into our homes feels a bit premature as the summer temps try to hold on a little bit longer, but before we know it, that crisp autumn air has me turning my attention back indoors, and the itch to make our home feel warm and cozy strikes again. As we prepare to welcome fall into our homes, here are a few things I like to do as we transition into the new season.

Have you ever painted a french door before? You know the ones where the grids are not conveniently concealed by the glass? I have always loved the look of painted interior doors, but painting a french door can feel a tiny bit daunting. Recently I tried something new, and it made painting the french door that leads into our home office a breeze! And here is the best part – it involved no taping! Yep you read that right. I’m sharing these tips today, in case you have a french door you’ve been wanting to paint as well.

Fall Porch | 2023

10/03/2023 By Bre

Fall is in the air, and boy do I have a fun little makeover to show you! A few weeks back I was browsing through FB Marketplace looking for antique foldable chairs, and stumbled across the cutest little bistro table set! Well, it wasn’t cute at first, but I knew this set had plenty of potential. With a good scrubbing, and some spray paint this bistro set got a completely new look, and it fits perfectly in an empty corner we have on our back porch. Come and see ~

Currently Loving vol. 7

Every once in awhile I share this kind of post. A random mash up of all the things I’m loving or crushing on at the moment. While they seem to always have the same flow and feel to them, the things I share in them are completely at random. These posts always end up being my favorite type of posts to share, because I imagine us sitting down, with a nice hot beverage in hand, as we catch up on life and other things 🙂 With the seasonal change right upon us, it felt fitting to share some of things I’m loving right now as we enter into spring!
