As a recent buyer of my first home (eek!), I’ve naturally become much more involved in this category as I venture into the world of decorating. I also did a couple of posts on what to expect when buying a house – documenting just about everything I learned along the way. I also share my home-decor updates and room reveal in this category as well as buying decisions and styling tips!
I’ve been meaning to share an update on our banquette kitchen island for a while! Those of you who’ve been following me for a minute probably remember that I made some updates to my kitchen when we first bought this home in Dallas. While I loved the bar stools (they were old McGee & Co. from our Denver home) I had in the kitchen, they just didn’t provide enough seating. I knew…
It’s that time of year again. Spring cleaning is in the air! Time to bust out the Swiffer, move all of your furniture, and deep clean your entire home. This is a ritual I’ve found super therapeutic over the years. It sort of feels like a fresh start after months of holidays, cold weather, etc. I don’t truly feel like my spring kicks off until I get my house cleaned…
Any time I post photos of my bedroom, I have several people reach out about my bedroom drapery and window treatments. These are the same drapes I had in my living room in our Denver home (see the photo below). Clearly, I’m a fan. When searching for drapes, we wanted some that would feel sheer-ish but still filter out light. As you can see, our room gets sunlight at certain…
I’m actually a little proud of myself for getting this done so soon after Blake was born. It took more than two months to get Four’s nursery reveal up. It’s amazing how much more put together your nursery can feel when your baby doesn’t come 5 weeks early. ;) With Blake’s nursery, I knew I wanted it to have a feminine feel without being overly girly. I’d seen several nurseries…
If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I love putting together a festive table. Whether it’s my holiday tablescape or the one I recently put together for spring, I feel like the creativity just flows when I’m putting together a table for hosting. We haven’t quite finalized our July 4th plans yet, but I’m hoping to host a small get-together with BBQ or burgers. I’ve been…
I’m so excited we will be hosting Easter lunch this year. We had a blast hosting Thanksgiving last year, so I can’t wait to bring my favorite people together around the table again to celebrate another one of our favorite holidays! I’ve always really loved holidays, but now that we have Four (and another one on the way), holidays have become so special. And let’s be real, they’re also an excuse…
Y’all, I’m still reeling from my Instagram Live with yesterday with Sarah McAllister from Go Clean Co. In case you missed it, you can see the whole thing here. Sarah is the QUEEN of clean and gives so many amazing tips on the Go Clean Co Instagram account. We even did a fun little Reel after our Live with a few quick tips for cleaning the items in your house that always seem…
I’m so excited to finally share my closet with y’all. We’ve been working on this space for the past 10 months. Looking at it now, I can’t believe it used to be an attic. Thanks to the help of some amazing designers and builders, we were able to transform this space into my dream closet slash office. Duncan and I joke that this is probably the nicest closest I’ll ever have…
This time of year, it’s easy for my house to get cluttered quickly. Between packages arriving for holiday gifting and lots of projects happening for work, I can find myself look around my house and wondering when the tornado came through. But I’ve learned that by following a few small tips, my house stays tidy without much effort and I feel much more put together and organized. When it comes…
We are officially into November. Insert mind-blown emoji here, right!? I truly can’t believe how fast this year has gone. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I’ve got an almost 9-month-old crawling around everywhere or what but this year’s flown by. November does have me excited because I will be hosting my first ever Thanksgiving this year! Is this what being a grown-up feels like!? I’m slightly nervous…
This post has been a long time coming but I’m so excited to finally share an update of our bathroom! For those of you who have been following me for at least the past 9 months, you know this bathroom has been a journey. When we moved into this house at the beginning of this year, I was super pregnant with Four. I was totally in the nesting phase and wanted everything…
It may be in the 90s this weekend in Dallas but fall is officially here. There’s something about this time of year that makes me so excited and eager to update my home decor. I LOVE sprinkling in pieces here and there to give my home a more cozy feel! You might remember I used Ginger Curtis of Urbanology Designs to help me design my kitchen. I am so happy…
I love switching up our bedding and playing with different color combos. I’ve updated it a few times since moving in – here’s how it was a few months ago if you missed it. There’s just something so yummy about brand new sheets. Did we need new sheets? Absolutely not. But I wanted to try a different color combo with some not-white sheets and see how it looked with our…
I have had a surprising amount of fun playing with tables this season! We decided we wanted to have a couple people over for dinner and I got really excited and into making a special moment for the occasion with a fun table setup. I ordered a few things to go with a couple pieces I already owned. I fell in love with these feather placemats I shared a couple…
I’m getting really into all things tables lately. And truthfully, I’ve never really put together a table before this one. My mom has always been really into china and has a massive collection, so I’m surprised it’s just peaking my interest. But whatever the case, I’m excited about it and am marking 2021 as the year I start my “table” collection. Did you catch the blog post last month where…
Heading into a new season always inspires me and sparks my creativity to try new recipes. A fun date night for us is staying at home and making a new recipe. We pop on our favorite playlist and cook together. It’s such a sweet way to wind down the day and enjoy each other’s company. There are a few recipes I’m really excited to try! Today, I want to share…
Source: The Teacher Diva (Ashley Robertson) We are exactly 2 weeks until the official start of fall! Wow has the summer passed QUICK. But I am so excited for cooler temps and fall colors. I recently shared a post sharing Inspiration For Your Fall Table and it got me thinking about other parts of my house I want to decorate for fall. I have wanted to update my front porch since…
Hi friends! Every time I do a Q&A on Instagram I get flooded with questions about my bed/bedding details. Currently, I have an all-white look broken up with a waffle textured blanket and some tan linen pillows. It’s perfect for spring/summer. During the fall/winter seasons, I replace the white blanket with a tan one and add rust-colored accent pillows to warm things up a bit. There are many ways you…
