A Simple Cozy & Classic Christmas
Our finished basement all dressed for Christmas is my favorite way to see it. This year I decided to do a cozy & classic Christmas in this space, and so far I’m loving it more than any other way I’ve decorated it. It’s not necessary to decorate the basement, but it’s one of my favorite places to decorate for Christmas. I feel like I can experiment and I’m never rushed to finish the décor down there. I can take my time and try new things. Can I do this upstairs? I certainly can, and I do. But there is just something so forgiving and peaceful about this living space in…

So, I used faux and real evergreens to create evergreen swags, wreaths, and arrangements all over the house. I love decorating my house with all the things from outside. In the Fall I did it for my Fall Home Tour, and I did it all Spring and Summer long. When I shared my dining room makeover, for the late Summer table setting, and my raw-wood bookcase makeover just to name a few. I simply can’t get enough of creation and I want it…

A Simple & Beautiful Thanksgiving Table to Inspire Conversation
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays around here. We gather with our friends & family and enjoy delicious food while we engage in fun conversation. So I created a Thanksgiving table that inspires more of this. We have been honored to host Thanksgiving at our house a couple times since we moved back home. We love every minute of having family over for the day. Although, I’m not sure my family enjoyed being at my house for Thanksgiving! Two years ago, I made them all drop their phone in a basket as they entered the house, and then I took the basket away and we literally spent the entire…

This year we’ve been less busy with Fall festivities than usual, BUT to make up for it, we have been eating dinner outside quite a bit. Today I want to share a fun outdoor picnic I put together for the “A World Where There…

Lately, I’ve been enamored with creation. Fall is just so beautiful, cozy, and calm and I wanted to bring that into our home for our Fall decor. So I decided to DIY a dried floral wreath. The Inspiration In the recent Fall Home Tour, I shared a super simple wreath I made from a leaf garland. I like it, but it wasn’t created from leaves I found outside.

A Simple & Romantic Fall Picnic that Reflects the Season
Having quality one-on-one time is something my husband and I have struggled with since having children. But recently, the girls had a slumber party at gramma and paps house. I knew I wanted to do something special for Justin to remind him amid the busy schedules and honey-do-lists, he is still my number one. Summer picnics are a ton of fun, but I prefer a picnic when its cooler. The truth is I prefer cooler days to HOT days all the time. When Summer begins to turn to Fall I throw parties! Fall is such a beautiful time to be sitting outside taking in all that nature has to offer.…
