JANUARY (p)INSPIRATION

Despite being a self-proclaimed perpetual summer girl, January is one of my favorite months of the year. After the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, I love taking the first month of the year to recharge my batteries and bundle up to take long walks, read books (or take more time to flip through…

INSPIRED: TONE-ON-TONE IN THE ENTRY

I have a handful of house projects to tackle in the New Year and at the tippy top of the list is a little refresh for my entry. I don’t plan on anything drastic – just a fresh coat of paint for the walls, trim, ceiling, doors and Thomasville piece, to start. For a while…

CHEERS TO 2024!

Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s 2024; my husband was just saying the other night how it feels like it was just Halloween last week and I have to agree. Since having my second child, time feels like it’s flying by at warp speed, and since I’ve never been one for making New Year’s…

BLUE AND WHITE AND CRANBERRY FOR CHRISTMAS

We’re off to a great start this Christmas season, with a host of parties, get togethers and dinners already in the works, one of which happens to be a small gathering at my house this weekend while my dad is in town. My most favorite part about entertaining around the holidays is – no surprise…

FAUX GARLANDS (STILL IN STOCK!)

I posted a video on Insta last week of my newly painted hutch in my eating area, which happened to be draped by a faux white pine garland and I got so many questions about the greenery that I thought I’d share here, too! I’ve only ever had fresh garlands and evergreens in my house;…

GIFT GUIDE: FOR HIM

Gift ideas for the guys are always the hardest for me; unless they have hobbies or interests that are easy to find accessories for, it can be tough coming up with ideas. My hubby is also the hardest person in the world to shop for because there isn’t much that he needs or wants, but…

GIFT GUIDE: FOR HER

This is the first year in I don’t know how long that I’m actually way ahead of schedule with my Christmas shopping AND actually have my Christmas cards ready to drop in the mail, so I actually have the chance to put some items together for the ladies in your life- friends, sisters, mommas, or…

ENTERTAINING FAVORITES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Thanksgiving is a week away and since we will be traveling again this year, I’ll be celebrating turkey day a little early at home. I’ve already started going through all my entertaining favorites, polishing silver and pulling table linens I want to use this year, so I thought I’d share a roundup of pieces that…

SNIPPETS OF FALL

It’s finally feeling like fall around these parts and the weather couldn’t be more incredible! Although we are still jumping about thirty degrees between drop off in the morning and pickup in the afternoon, it’s so nice having cool nights for sleeping and temps in the seventies for riding bikes and spending as much time…

FALL DESIGN BOOKS

I always look forward to all the new design books debuting in the fall and this year there is quite a bevy of beauties soon to be released! There is nothing I love more than curling up with a beautiful design book; no matter how many times I’ve flipped through some of my favorites, there…

HALLOWEEN, BUT MAKE IT CUTE

Happy October, a few days late! Decorating for Halloween is right up there for my kiddos with decorating for Christmas, so I was so excited to get started while they were at school yesterday! I’ve been hanging these bats in our living room, which wrap all the way around to the kitchen, for the last…

THE GREAT DEBATE: TO PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT?

A few years back, I found this beautiful Thomasville buffet at a church sale and knew it would be the perfect piece for our entry. It was in beautiful shape, the wood really warmed up the space and the drawers and cabinets have been so helpful in storing our ever-growing collection of board games and…
