We’ve been taking it slow the past month, so while I’ve been dreaming of projects, we haven’t been working on any. We’ve soaked in the moments of October and the joys of the season. It’s been so good for us to step away from the “doing” in our house and just enjoy it. But don’t …
This season provokes us to think about what we are thankful for. While I hope to have a posture of gratitude throughout all 12 months, I welcome any reminder toward it. This year, I was thinking through ways I could do just that, but only for me and Mike; not everyone else. I’ve been seeing …
Last week, I shared the before and after of our little kitchen – the biggest renovation we’ve competed to date! Today I’m excited to share with you the other half. The Breakfast Nook I can’t tell you how many sketches I made of this nook. How should we set it up? Where should the seating …
Guys, can you guess which room in our house that was almost the cause of us not purchasing it? I think I probably already gave it away by the title of this post, but it was our kitchen! So many aspects of this 1950s Tudor bucked the trend of the time, with spacious rooms and …
It’s officially fall, but as I write this, it’s 86 degrees in Ohio. 86! Regardless, that’s not stopping our porch from beaming with the colors of the season. Truth be told, I purchased these pumpkins in August! 😉 Can you tell it’s my favorite season yet? There’s something about Fall that brings us out of …
Earlier in September, Mike took a quick two-night getaway to Louisville for our first wedding anniversary. It was the rainy three days of 70-degree weather sandwiched between 90-degree days, but let me tell you – that didn’t rain on our parade! 😉 We had the best time and would highly recommend Louisville if you’re looking …
Hi there and happy Friday, friends! I love when people share their favorite products and this week, I purchased a few items from Amazon.com that I’m already loving. So I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you (that conveniently arrived at my door two days after purchasing). 😉 I hope you enjoy my …
I’m so happy to proclaim: the entryway project is complete! This past weekend, I added the finishing touches and pretty details and I’m thrilled to share it with you today. We love our 1950s home, but it certainly didn’t come with all the modern spaces we love in 2018 – like a mudroom. Sometimes, when …
A few weeks ago, my dear friend came to visit us. It was only for 24 hours, but oh was it sweet! We’ve been friends since we were 15, have lived in different states since we were 18, but remain the closest of friends – I’m so thankful! Over the years, we’ve visited each other …
To my husband, I can’t believe it’s already been one year since I married you – my best friend. It feels like it just happened, but at the same time it also feels like this is just as life has always been. I look back and see so much joy and also a lot of …
