INSPIRED: BLOOMS IN BASKETS
When it comes to planting, I almost always pick simple terra cotta pots that will age and weather beautifully, or dark gray, zinc-inspired options that give all the East Coast summer vibes. Lately, though, blooms planted in wicker baskets have been floating through my feed constantly and I couldn’t be more inspired. If you follow…
GARDEN GOODIES
With all the gorgeous weather we’ve been having lately, we’ve been busy getting our yard and gardens ready for the season and with all this time outside, it’s given me the chance to plan some tweaks I’d like to make with accessories, plants and flowers. My first purchase every year around this time is a…
INSPIRED DESIGN: ROBERT STILIN
There are a handful of designers whose work I come back to time and again – creators of spaces that are artfully arranged, effortlessly beautiful and both timeless and welcoming. Robert Stilin is one of my favorites whose work I visit frequently, as much for his tailored restraint and beautiful design details as for his…
MARCH (p)INSPIRATION
I can’t believe it’s March already! The weather has just been absolutely gorgeous and we’ve gotten to spend so much time outside; it’s not too much longer until everything is lush and green again, but until then, here are some recent pins that have inspired me so much – fresh greenery (always), beautiful millwork and…
MOM UNIFORM FAVORITES
I mentioned in this post that for the last few years, I’ve really made a conscious effort to swap workout and athleisurewear for, at the very least, jeans and a sweater to elevate my look when running errands or volunteering at my kiddos’ school. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love nothing more than easy,…
FRIDAY FIVE
The weather has been so glorious this entire week, it’s felt more like full-on spring than February! We’re heading into the weekend with absolutely nothing on our schedule except lots of time outside, trying some new recipes and finishing putting up the rest of our Valentine’s Day decor. Every year, my kiddos cut out construction…
FEBRUARY (p)INSPIRATION
Kicking off the first week of a new month with more of the same old design inspo – lots of silvered cedar shakes, fresh greenery, tailored architectural details, soft color palettes, classic silhouettes. Pinterest continues to reign supreme as my favorite social media platform; the calendar may have flipped over to another new month, but…
FRIDAY FIVE
Happy Friday and Happy Last Day of January! I’ve been slowly but surely making my way through as many nooks and crannies of our house this week, purging clutter, trying to organize toys and make my fifteenth run to drop off a few bags to donation. I still have so many spots to hit that…
BUDGET-FRIENDLY DESIGN FINDS FOR THE HOME
Today I’m sharing a roundup of design finds for the home that give off high price tag vibes, but are actually super budget-friendly. I love a fabulous home decor score and, while most of mine have come from thrift, consignment and antique stores the past few years, I can’t resist a design find from a…
TEN THINGS I’M LOVING LATELY – JANUARY
Despite being a self-proclaimed eternal summer girl, I absolutely love the month of January. It’s the coldest month of the year here in North Carolina and it’s just perfect for nesting, cozying up and recharging my batteries from the holiday season. Today I’m sharing ten things I’m loving lately and, hopefully, I’ll be able to…
IN & OUT IN 2025
I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions, but I have so enjoyed seeing everyone else’s picks for what will be in and out in 2025 that I pulled together some of my own (a few weeks late, per my usual, but better late than never!) I’d say this is less trend prediction, per say,…
JANUARY (p)INSPIRATION
Happy New Year and Happy Epiphany! I hope you’re all off to a great start in this New Year; I’m coming off of a wonderful two weeks away from social media having spent the most amazing time with family and just relaxing and unwinding from the happy whirlwind of Christmas! The littles went back to…
