Let’s Talk Plants

04/06/2018 By Bre

I have a secret. Ok maybe not a major secret, and you may have already noticed it, but I’ve been trying out my green thumb! This is still a new endeavor on my end, so the jury is still out on if I have one, but I have been testing the waters a bit and so far – dare I say – successful?! So let’s talk plants, because we all know I’m a big fan of faux! However today I’m going to show you some new recent plants that have popped up in my life, or should I say house, even though nothing green is popping up outside yet.

Dining Room Sources 2018

Since updating our dining room recently, I realized the last time I listed sources for our dining room was 3 years ago! So I’ve done my best to source all the items you see in our dining room currently, but if I forgot something, or you can’t find something, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am more than happy to help you find whatever you are looking for! With that being said, here is the most current to date source list for our dining room.

16 Farmhouse Style Buffets for your Dining Room

03/29/2018 By Bre

Buffets, Credenzas, even sometimes dressers, yes those pieces of furniture we have in our dining room other than our dining room table. They serve as a place to hold extra linens and serve ware, provide additional storage needs. Fill an empty wall in the room (lol), and give us a space to create cute seasonal vignettes. One of the pieces of furniture I get asked about the most when it pops up in pictures is the dresser / buffet I have in our dining room. So today I’m sharing the story about this dresser, and 16 farmhouse style buffets for your dining room too!

Bathroom Demo

Hi Friends!! Yes you are reading that title right, todays post is all about our bathroom demo! In case you missed it we are teaming up with Wayfair for their #oneroomchallenge and renovating our master bathroom! It’s so exciting! This room has NOT been touched since we’ve lived here, and I can honestly say it feels so good to put my signature on it! Unlike our downstairs bathroom makeover we did last year, the tub and toilet do NOT need to be replaced. However we are replacing the vanity, adding lots of new lighting, and adding a whole BUNCH of tile! EEK! You can read all about my design plan …

Hi Friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! This week I’ve joined up with a talented group of bloggers to share part of our home decorated for spring as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Series. There is all kinds of stunning inspiration for you to enjoy! I know I’ve already shared our living room and entryway with you. And even though I’ve done some decorating in the dining room, I simplified our dining room decor for spring, and can’t wait to share it with you. Here is a look at spring around our dining room.

Chalkboard Door Farewell

The chalkboard door is gone! Yep. Now wait, before you start thinking to yourself “oh now, is that the one in her kitchen?”. No, it is not the one in our kitchen. Shortly after I started blogging, I was DIY’ing everything. Anything and everything I could get my hands on, and you better believe I was making and creating up a storm. Some of it good, and some of it not so hot. I was thrilled just to have a home that I could create in, and this new found liberation blogging gave me of being able to try new things and decorate and even though I didn’t have a degree, and actually have people like that things I was doing, kept me on a creative high for a long time. Almost to the point of burnout, but that’s a completely different topic for another post. I was so excited to put my signature on our home, I was crafting and creating everything I could get my hands on so our new house felt like “our home”. One of the things I decided to do was paint the top part of this door we had in our dining room with chalkboard paint, to act as a built in chalkboard.

New Slip Covers for our Sofa from Comfort Works

I am so excited to share all the details with you! I get asked a lot about our sofa, and slip covers in general, and since our sofa came with the slip covers already on them, I was never able to provide a source as to where to get your own. Many of you have asked where you can even find slip covers, or how to go about getting slip covers for the sofas and chairs you already have. Sometimes it’s not necessarily the furniture that we have that we want to replace, but just refreshen the look of them. I have just the solution!

Spring has Sprung {2018}

Eek! Spring has Sprung! Or at least inside our home it has. I should have known better living in New England, and having temps in the 70’s in February that is wouldn’t last, but at least it was nice while it was here, and I while I was taking these photos. Nope, today we are in for another nor’easter. The good news is we have made it into March, so any snow we do get doesn’t last too long. And while mother nature may not have gotten the memo that we have officially “sprung forward”, but at least we have in our house.

Spring Tablescape {2018}

03/12/2018 By Bre

12 Mar

It’s no secret that I love creating Tablescapes. So when my friends Alicia from A Burst of Beautiful reached out to me to join her and some other blogging friends to share a Spring Tablescape, I jumped at the chance. I love coordinating plates and bowls and silverware with some fun florals to create a welcoming table. In fact when I’m working on my place settings, it’s very much like coordinating outfits. It’s fun to switch things up, and pair plates with different bowls, similar to pairing up jeans with a different top. There are so many options. For this spring tablescape I pulled out some of my tried and trues …
