Summer Bugs & a GIVEAWAY!

06/08/2018 By Bre

8 Jun

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!

Nightstand Dresser Makeover

If you follow me on Instagram, than you may have seen some sneak peeks of a little master bedroom makeover I’ve been working on! Honestly I was just ready for a change, and a dark moody color. And since our master bedroom isn’t very big, it makes painting the room pretty easy.At first I was thinking of just painting my nightstand dresser a lighter color since the walls are a new darker color. I was just about ready to do so, and figured I should at least see if I can sand off some of that paint and uncover raw wood. And you know what?! I did just that.

Summer Mantle {Seasonal Simplicity Series}

30 May

Hello Friends!! I’m so excited to be joining in on the Seasonal Simplicity tour again, this time around for the summer series! I loved joining in on the spring series, and it’s always so much fun to see what everyone comes up with. I love having loads of inspiration all teamed up together in one place like this. Today we are all sharing our summer mantle’s with you. You remember my Spring Mantle with faux plants and terra cotta pots. Since I don’t technically have a mantle I decorate in our house, I use my buffet in our dining room to create seasonal vignettes. It’s a great spot because you have to walk through our dining room to get to any other room in our house, so it gets lots of visual activity.

Dark Accent Walls

Hello Friends! I have been working on a secret project lately, that I can’t wait to share with you soon. Until then, I have been loving the look of dark accent walls, and I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. I think I love dark accent walls just as much as I love white walls, and I also believe that every home should have at least one dark wall, if not a whole room 🙂

5 Things Motherhood has Taught Me

13 May

On this Mothers Day, I wanted to share with you a little bit about my journey in motherhood so far. I cap it at “so far” because well, I’m right in the middle of it. I’m past the throws of the infant stage and toddler hood, and no sleep, and right in the sweet spot of “I can wipe my own bum” and “tie my own shoes” and there is no sign of pre-teen drama. And even if we aren’t at the same stage in life, or motherhood for that matter, I really just wanted to share what has impacted me, what I’ve learned so far, lol. Because if you haven’t been in toddlerhood for a while, it is no joke my friend! While I still have a long ways to go, here are 5 things I’ve learned so far.

New Barn Door in the Kitchen

I am SO excited to share our new barn door we installed in our kitchen with you today! It’s actually been something I’ve wanted to do for years, but you know how those things go that aren’t necessarily on the top burner, yeah they get pushed aside, and pushed aside. Well not anymore thanks to my friends at Artisan Hardware. I’ve teamed up with them to show you their beautiful barn doors. Honestly what caught my eye with them was their gorgeous hardware. It’s perfect farmhouse look, crafted right here in US, and honestly it was the attention to detail. If you know me at all by now, you know I’m all about the details. And I think you will see what I mean.

We Rented a BobCat

Hello Friends! Happy Friday!! Yes you read that title correctly – we rented a BobCat! My son liked to joke the whole time saying “Where I don’t see a bobcat?!”. He thought he was pretty funny! I shared in my landscaping post, we have totally switched gears after renovating our master bathroom and turned our attention towards our outdoor spaces. So to tackle one of our bigger projects we rented a bobcat, cleared some land, and laid down some crushed stone. The same kind of stone we used in our outdoor patio area. So today I’m going to show you the area we cleared, and how we install our crushed stone.
