Mint and Pink Floral Shared Girl Bedroom | Beautiful & Functional
I’m so excited to finally get to reveal the final phase of our shared girl bedroom with you! It’s the perfect balance of function and beauty. It’s been a long time coming. We worked so hard to get it done before Summer arrived, but unfortunately, we didn’t meet that deadline. Summer arrived and it was time to start working outside, so all the indoor projects took a backseat. But, now that the garden is winding down and we are almost ready to start cleaning up the yard for winter, we decided it was a perfect time to pick up where we left off. Shared Girl Bedroom: Window Coverings We decided…

The Joy In Our Simple Fall Front Porch | Mums & Cabbage
I don’t think I can express to you the joy I felt when I decorated our simple Fall front porch with purple mums and cabbage this year. That sounds absurd, doesn’t it? How in the world can decorating a small front porch for Fall bring someone that much joy? I suppose if I tell you the story then maybe it would make more sense. Our Summer Front Porch If you remember my front porch post from the Summer then you remember what my goal was for the front porch. I planned on taking some time for myself on this small front porch. After a day full of being a housekeeper,…

How to Create a Simple & Stunning Early Fall Apple Tablescape
It’s officially apple season, which means I had to set up an early Fall apple tablescape to celebrate! It was so beautiful and yet so simple! Early Fall Apple Tablescape : The Inspiration We have the cutest apple orchard just down the street from our house. I get to drive by it every time I head to town. This year, every time I passed it, all I could think about was taking our little boho table out there and having a picnic under the branches full of apples. After I suggested the idea to my husband he gave me an involuntary laugh, which he quickly stopped and turned into a…

How to Make a Fall Pampas Grass Wreath | Neutral & Stunning
One of my favorite ways to usher in the new seasons is with a new door wreath. This Fall I decided to DIY a neutral Fall pampas grass wreath. Last year I found these fun faux pampas grass stems at my friends’ shop. For my Fall decor last year I simply put them all in a vintage bucket and called it good. But this year when I opened my Fall decor totes I felt inspired to put these pretty stems on the front door. That way, everyone who came to our house would be greeted with them. Last Years DIY Dried Grass Wreath My Fall wreath from last year was…

European Farmhouse Inspired Early Fall Entryway: Beautiful & Earthy
Fall decorating can be challenging. So I decided to share my decorating process using my early fall entryway ideas to help inspire you. Each year when it’s time to pull out the fall decorations I suddenly feel PRESSURE! I feel like I have to get the details of all the Fall decorating finalized ASAP so I can sit back and enjoy it. This year I took a different approach: Accept that going slow doesn’t mean it’s bad or wrong Steps are helpful for gradually cruising into the season Start in one room and work your way into other rooms Perfection doesn’t exist Decorating like this has done two things for…

Simple Must-Haves For A Stunning Backyard Boho Garden Party
Summer isn’t over yet, so why not create some amazing memories with a stunning backyard boho garden party before Fall officially arrives? Family Centered Boho Garden Parties Fall is my favorite season. But this year with my oldest starting kindergarten I’m trying to hold on to Summer for as long as possible. Honestly, it’s not summer I’m trying to hold on to. It’s my time with her. I know this is something that every mom experiences. As happy and excited as I am, I’m terrified and stressed. It’s so hard learning to let go. Whether you’re letting go while they head off to college, get married, or start kindergarten. The…

Repair of Antique Furniture | A Simple & Easy DIY
DIY repair of antique furniture sounds time-consuming and difficult. But depending on the situation it can actually be quite simple and easy. How We Ended Up with This Cabinet Last week I shared about our adoption. If you missed it go check it out! We finally know if we’re having a boy or girl! But because we are getting closer and closer to bringing home our baby, I am starting to “nest”. I fought it with my first two. People would tell me I was “nesting” and I’d be like, “No way! Not me!” I think because this is my last time, I’m owning and enjoying all that comes with…

We’re Having Another Girl| An Open Heart Message
This is something that I’ve been so excited to share with you! We have been working on growing our family through adoption for a couple years and we’re getting closer! I’ve mentioned a few times that we’re adopting, but I haven’t shared very much more than that. In the early stages, there really wasn’t much more to say. The Boring Paperwork The beginning of the story is boring and full of ink and paper, social worker visits, psychological evaluations, and waiting. Lots of waiting. But recently we got some exciting news! Receiving Our Match We received our “match”!!! Which, if you’re unfamiliar with adoption lingo, simply means we finally know…
