Home Decor
My plans for finishing decorating my home for the holidays and sharing my holiday home tour today have been foiled. Instead, I am sharing a few things I already put up and love. From my all-time favorite faux tree to the only Christmas pillow that matters, I’ve got the goods. Here are this week’s Friday Finds, Christmas decor edition:…
We are slowly updating our 1940’s house, and I am happy to share our laundry room renovation. This room moved to the top of our list of priority spaces unexpectedly. At first, I just thought it was dated and ugly. However, just months into doing laundry for my family of five, I realized it was not functional. Here is the before:…
Serena & Lily is holding their semi annual Tent Sale and there are some seriously beautiful classic homegoods at too-good not-to-see prices. I can’t believe this gorgeous table is on marked down so much. I wish I had a place to put it. As for me, I may pull the trigger on this bar, these stools, and these planters. Here are my picks for the 10 best pieces at the Serena & Lily Tent Sale:…
I love and appreciate getting feedback from you guys, and a lot of you said, “more pictures of the new house.” Most rooms are not exactly “done” but I did throw together a guest room that I LOVE in anticipation of summer house guests. As you can imagine, some of those hotly awaited arrivals did not make it to my doorstep. I was beyond hyped to have my Chicago bestie stay with me last week, but sadly his flight from…
It is with mixed emotions that I share the news that we are moving! I’ve been relatively quiet on social media and here on this blog throughout the holiday season not only because I was spending some down time with family, but also because I’ve been busy getting our new home ready for my family to move in.…
Some of you told me you were excited to see my daughter’s nursery, and I realized that I never shared Luke’s! The truth is, I’m not sure I’m going to change the nursery much if at all. In fact, it’s becoming a tradition of sorts in our family that when we have a new baby joining us, the older sibling gets an upgrade to a big sibling room. Instead of revamping the nursery, I am going to be giving up…
Some of you wrote in and asked if I had pictures of the kitchen before the renovation. We had the old kitchen gutted before we moved into the house, but for posterity’s sake, I did take a few snaps before we took it down to the studs. I am including some of the afters from the same angle because I’ve watched enough HGTV to know how fun it is to see.…
It’s been a long time coming, both in reality and here on this blog, but today I am finally sharing my kitchen renovation reveal. I mentioned that when we bought our first house, we did so knowing that we wanted to knock down a few walls and gut the kitchen. It took a year to create it, and in that time I became pregnant with Luke and my contractor was still here when we brought him home from the hospital.…
There is no need to set down that Margarita to take advantage of the best deals happening right now. One of these sales has me so excited for my favorite outdoor activity: cocktails al fresco. Summer is here, people! Here are the 3 best Cinco de Mayo sales to shop this weekend! Cheers.…
