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.

Goals for 2023

Each year I like to start things off by writing down the goals I have in mind for our house for the upcoming year. My husband and I joke that the winter is our “Project Season”, but typically it’s because we are cooped up inside due to impending snow. While we don’t always accomplish everything on my list, It does help me focus in on the things I really want to get done around our house. So today I’m sharing all my goals for our home for 2023.

How I Start the New Year

It’s hard to believe we are already more than half way through January, but here we are. I hope your New Year has been off to a great start. I was recently chatting with a friend, and sharing how rested and content I feel during this season, and even though we are in the dead of winter, and this time of year can sometimes feel gloomy and pointless. I feel joy and peace present in my life. Previously I shared how I give our house a clean slate at the beginning of every New Year. I’ve realized how much my brain longs for a break at the start of the new year, and how allowing myself a moment to sit in the bare space in between is so beneficial to not only for my home, but for me as well. Over the past few years I’ve noticed that I instinctively return to the same couple of things as I begin to start another new year. So today I want to share my process with you and how I start the New Year.

Guest Bathroom Before & Design Plan

Today I’m sharing a space in our home with you that has never been seen before on the blog. Is the suspense killing you yet? Are you wondering “How in the world could I be holding out from you like this”? When we moved into our home, almost two years ago, pretty much the entire house and been renovated or updated by the previous owner, except for this room. Our guest room bathroom! Yep, our guest room off the living room as a full en suite bathroom which is amazing for guests, especially when our parents come to stay. However, it still has all of its’ original fixtures from when it was put in back in the 90’s – including some very red tile. Are you ready to check it out.

A Clean Slate for the New Year

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.

Christmas Living Room | 2022

Today I’m sharing our living room decorated for Christmas. This year I chose to only bring out my absolute favorite pieces, that also complimented the neutral decor we have in our living room. Little bits of my favorite winter greens tucked in and around our living room make things feel extra festive without requiring a ton of work. I brought out my favorite white ornaments, a few table top trees, a few bottle brush trees, which all set the perfect back drop for our Christmas tree to take centerstage.

This year I decorated our dining room for Christmas with nature in mind. I tucked little sprigs of cedar and juniper berries throughout my hutch and buffet. I kept things simple with just a few natural elements tucked in here and there. Come and see ~

Preparing our Hearts & Home for the Holidays

13 Dec

It’s crazy to think we are already a week into December, and my heart is full of anticipation for Christmas. As I prepare our home for the holidays, I’m find myself longing to be more intentional about preparing my heart as well. Instead of feeling anxious about all of the things I “need” to get done, I pause to reflect on what really matters most to our family this holiday season. Instead of giving myself an impossible to-do list of Christmas decorating, shopping, and commitments, I’m carefully contemplating what I allow to fill our schedule over the weeks to come. So before I share the simple touches of holiday decor I’ve added around our home with you, I thought I would first share how I am preparing not only our home, but my heart as well for this upcoming holiday season.

Faux Fall Floral Arrangement

Thank you so much for all of your kind words on this years Thanksgiving Tablescape. I shared it HERE, in case you missed it, and in my post I shared how I really let the centerpiece inspire the rest of the tablescape. I made the centerpiece entirely out of faux stems (and 1 preserved stem), and the best part is I can use it year after year, as part of my fall decor if I wish. So today I’m sharing how I made this faux floral arrangement, with fall inspired stems.
