GIL SCHAFER HOME AT LAST

I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited about a design book landing on my doorstep as I have for Gil Schafer’s latest, Home at Last, but it’s finally here and I can honestly say that the anticipation was WELL worth it, as this is one of the most beautiful design books I’ve ever laid…

LOVING LATELY

I’m loving the unseasonably cold weather we’ve been having lately – it’s been the perfect chance to cozy up with some favorite design books and peruse some goodies online while the littles are at school. I’m always gravitating toward texture, muted color palettes and fresh greenery, but especially this time of year when all the…

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…

MOM UNIFORM / FALL WARDROBE PICKS

A few weeks back, I asked what you guys would like to see more of here on the blog and an overwhelming number of you asked for clothing/wardrobe picks! I’m the farthest thing from a fashion blogger, but I thought we would switch gears from all things design and decor to share a few fall…

FALL FINDS

Fall is officially tomorrow, but we’ve got a ways to go until it starts feeling anything like it. The weather has been absolutely beautiful lately – cooler temps in the early mornings when I’m taking the littles to school and then low 80’s by pickup, perfect for bike rides and last-minute stops at the park…

JULY/AUG (p)INSPIRATION

Hello, hello and Happy Almost September! I always have the best intentions to blog over the summer, but as soon as my littles are out of school, my focus completely shifts to them and, naturally, the blog gets neglected. Now that we are back in the school year, it’s time to dust off the laptop…

JUNE (p)INSPIRATION

A little roundup of some recent summer pins I’ve been saving as of late, since that’s currently my favorite thing to do after catching up on Yellowstone (also heavily obsessed!) This time of year, I’m pinning lots of scenes from the Amalfi Coast, cedar shake beauties on the East Coast, simple summer recipes that can…

TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR CUT FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS LAST LONGER

One of things I look forward to every summer is planting tons of flowers with my little miss and watching them bloom. The last few years, we’ve grown our share of summer flowers in pots which have resulted in vases brimming with summer blooms on every surface of the house – sometimes, we even run…

ON MY RADAR FOR SUMMER

Summer has unofficially made its debut around these parts and we have been loving every minute of it! The pool is open, we’re counting down the last few days of school and we’ve been eating dinner on the deck every night. Still waiting for the water temp to get above 72 before I even dare…

MAY (p)INSPIRATION

With the exception of all the coverage of King Charles’ coronation this past weekend (Will and Kate completely stole the show!), I’ve been rather uninspired by everything floating through my Instagram feed lately. Pinterest still reigns supreme for me when I need a design or decor fix and since we hit temps in the 90’s…

APRIL (p)INSPIRATION

I can’t believe we’re already halfway through April! Taking a mini hiatus from the blog had not been on my agenda, but I’m back with a roundup of recent pins to get moving on my posts once again. We’ve been having the most incredible weather and the kids and I have been soaking it all…
