Let’s face it, we all tend to get in a funk from time to time. For me personally, I typically drift into a funk around January. It’s the beginning of a new year and there’s an expectation to start fresh or make changes, yet I feel least inspired or motivated for some reason. So, when I start to feel those funky feelings, I try and pull myself out of it by doing a few things that make me happy and lighter. Here are my 9 steps to getting out of a funk!
Read MoreFor quite some time I’ve had a love for all things floral, especially when it comes to home decor. To me, botanicals create an extension of the outdoors inside the home and add to an overall calm and serene atmosphere. I’ve always loved nature and over the years I’ve looked for florals, wildflowers or even leaves to add elements of the outdoors inside our home. The contrast of florals with wicker or rattan elements pair so nicely together but I also especially love florals layered on top or next to each other for more of a bold statement. There is something bright and happy about all of the items pictured above that are sure to add beauty in any space.
Read MoreHappy April!!
The happiest month of the year in my opinion! Although this year is a little different (let’s be honest, TOTALLY different) it’s still important to create some normalcy and find the little things that spark joy for us. Easter has always been an important holiday that I have lots of happy memories of. As a family, we always celebrated Easter by going to church in a new dress, having a big brunch and going on an Easter egg hunt in the afternoon. I’ll never forget waking up to our Easter baskets with all our spring goodies before we got ready for church! From all of the colors to all of the flowers, carrot cake and chocolate covered bunnies, what’s not to fall in love with?!
Apart from all the fun, frills and fluff the holiday brings, Easter holds a special place in my heart because of why it was created and what it signifies. As a believer…
Read MoreSpring is finally here and although life is looking a little different than usual with the Caronavirus, we can still appreciate all the wonderful things about the change of season. If there was ever a time to update your outdoor/patio space, it’s now! Self isolation and distancing doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon so it’s even more important to get outside and soak up some vitamin D to lift our spirits and give us some energy.
One of the reasons we bought our current home was the backyard and deck. When we moved in last summer, the landscape and outdoor space was moved to the back burner as we had so many other indoor projects to complete first. Now that the weather is warming up and we’ve sprung forward, I’m feeling inspired to put a little love into our outdoor space! I have a feeling we’ll be utilizing the deck and backyard more than ever this spring and summer!
Read MoreIt isn’t truly fall until you decorate your home with pumpkins, wreaths and autumn tablescapes. I think investing in classic fall decor when it comes to dinnerware and serving dishes is always a smart idea, but for everything else, I try and keep it very affordable and fun! I love to find somewhat neutral fall decor pieces, like white pumpkins, that can easily stick around and transition into Christmas decor. Here are some of my very favorite fall decor items that are great for a wide variety of budgets and styles!
Also, be sure to check out the Autumn Decor page under ‘Shop’ for all of these items plus many more!
Happy fall decorating!
Read MoreFinding your personal “home style” can be tricky. I personally did not know what my interior style was until we bought a house. I’m still trying to figure it out! But, if I had to define my taste, I would say classic and traditional mixed with modern elements. I’m drawn to lots of white (of course) and toned down colors that reflect the serene space I’m going for. I look to accessories like pillows, vases and rugs for pops of pattern and color, and sticking to acrylics and neutrals for my larger items like a couch, coffee table and console. However, a fun pair of chairs can really make a room pop! This is my very own living room inspiration board and I already have a fair amount of pieces from this list. Here’s a breakdown of all my favorite items and why!
Read MoreYou officially know you’re well into your late 20’s when you start getting excited about gardening! Now that we’ve purchased our first home, I’ve found myself noticing lawns, landscapes and gardens like I never have before. I can now fully appreciate some manicured pots and well cared for planters! I am no gardening expert (yet) BUT I am starting to dabble in the arena, and like anything I get into, I want to have the best gear! Let’s be honest, gardening seems like so much more fun when you look cute, right?!
For starters, or shall I say beginners, these…
Read MoreAccessories for the home are just like earrings or handbags when putting together an outfit. They take a dull or average look and add interest and character! Lately I’ve been obsessed with bamboo, rattan and burl wood accents. I feel like they add a lot of warmth and charm in living rooms, bedrooms or any other nook in the house! These pieces and materials are also extremely neutral and transitional. If you’re not into a lot of color, or you love color and fun prints, these accents will complement any room and add a little fun to your space!
