When I first started getting into home décor I would buy real plants and new flowers every week. While I love the smell of some fresh flowers in my home, I realized I was spending A LOT of money on flowers every week. On top of that, I don't have a green thumb (we've talked [...]
I picked up these faux fern sprays from Michaels in the fall and haven't used them until now. They are pretty large and bushy and I was struggling to find a bucket, basket or pot that they looked natural in, nothing was really working until I came across this hanging olive bucket at The Urban [...]
Anyone else feel like Christmas is just sneaking up on us? How is December already halfway over?!?! I had all my decorations out the weekend of Thanksgiving, and somehow, I'm still not done decorating everything! Could it be because I keep redecorating areas I've already decorated? Hmm... I started thinking about what I wanted to [...]
So many cute holiday signs out there this year. I saw so many different versions, I couldn't decide which one to buy. Finally, I saw one that I liked, it was on the Instagram account of a local boutique that I follow. The problem, the actual boutique is not very close to where I live [...]
So, this was not a project or post I had planned on, it pretty much happened on accident while I was decorating the mantle today. I had a different plan as to what I was hanging above the mantle and hated how it turned out so I started over and this is what I came [...]
We officially have a walking baby!! Landon has been taking a few wobbly steps each day but last night he walked all the way across the living room! It was cute, exciting and terrifying all at the same time 🙂 With each new milestone comes a whole new stage of unexpectedness (I'm going to pretend [...]
Why is it that when the time comes around for family photos (or any type of photos for that matter) I immediately feel like I have no style sense, whatsoever? Anyone else? Ah, well...that's what style bloggers and Pinterest are for, right? I posted a few days ago about the paint transformation on this little [...]
You know the best way to wake up early on a Tuesday morning? To the sound of your dog getting sick. I mean, nothing gets you to jump out of bed and on your feet faster. And then try going back to sleep after that. Two things that I thought would be an issue having [...]
I've been shopping up a storm lately. Ok, that's not really something new. I guess the difference is, I'm being very particular about the things I buy for the house. Only making a purchase for an item I've really thought about, searched it out and have a specific spot for it. In the past, I would just [...]
We are going on hour 12 of baby sleep! He woke up at 5:45 to eat, but other than that, has been out since 9pm last night 🙂 I've been doing a little trial and error as far as sleep routines go and we may have found a good balance yesterday. I'll keep it going [...]
My mom is really going to LOVE this post 🙂 Pretty sure her dream is to turn an old barn into a home. Or at least into an event venue that she can run a business out of. Well mama, here is your inspiration! This is a 161 year old grain mill that was bought [...]
I've featured the home of Lauren Conrad before, her single-girl Beverly Hills penthouse apartment. Now...she's unveiling the remodel on her new Pacific Palisades home she shares with her husband. What can I say...I like her style! The home is a wonderful mix of Bohemian elements, glamour and feminine style. I don't know if I'd ever [...]
Is my love of Joanna Gaines' decorating style too creepy? Just wondering... Not that it will change my opinion or make me stop following her blog and Instagram. I just can't help it! Her style is the perfect combination of farmhouse, airy and chic. It never looks overdone, but rather, well...perfect? She shared photos of [...]
As I sit here typing this post, I'm in the lab waiting room in the middle of my glucose tolerance testing. What a fun way to start the day...got here at 7:30AM, had blood drawn and then drank the nasty sugar liquid. I think they should have to give at least 2 flavor options. As [...]
I've been working like a mad woman on so many different things...baby shower details, baby registry lists, nursery design, plus getting some random projects finished up around the house before baby arrives. Planning for baby is so much more overwhelming than you originally think it is. I want to tie up loose ends on things [...]
I've begun the task of building my baby registry...this is no small task! Having a baby is like planning a wedding. I start to research one item that I want or know I need and during the process, I end up finding 5 other items that I'm supposed to have on the list! Who knew [...]
The weather lately you guys...it feels like summertime in the Northwest! And I am LOVING every minute of it!! It is making me ready to get back outside and get some outdoor projects done, like finishing our back deck which sat half-finished all winter...oops. Currently, I'm working on finishing up the breakfast nook and it's [...]
I'm having an INSANELY lazy day today and I'm loving every minute of it! I was up at 4:30am the last 2 mornings for work and it really took it's toll. This morning I slept in late, had breakfast and coffee with my hubby and am now laying in bed, blogging and watching...you guessed it...re-runs [...]
It's January 17 and I still haven't taken down my Christmas tree...don't judge me please. I think I've said it before, my style really alligns with Nantucket & Martha's Vinyard. Rustic, natural materials, a little bit beachy, that is my dream region, hands down! This barn style beach house by Martha's Vinyard Interior Design is gorgeous and [...]
Happy New Year everyone! Is it lame that it's New Years Eve and I'm at home, on the couch, in sweatpants, blogging...? I just couldn't bring myself to want to go out tonight. It's freezing cold outside, I'm still not completely over my cold from Christmas and let's face it...I'm a little lazy these days. [...]
