I have to admit - I'm not the best plant lady. It's a skill I'm working on as I get older but it's not something that has come very easily to me. Having a green thumb is a work in progress for sure! That's why today I want to share my indoor plants for beginners guide. Like I said, I've been working on this skill & have had lots of trial and error in finding indoor plants that I don't totally kill within a few weeks of bringing it home. Let's just say, I've killed a whole lot of ...

Best Woven Trays for a Coffee Table
A home decor piece that I'm loving right now? Woven trays. I love how versatile they are and how you can use them in basically any room in the house.

Timeless and Beautiful Minwax Stain Mixture on Red Oak
If you've been here for awhile, you know I have a love for painted things. That includes - trim, doors, and furniture. There's one spot in our house that we actually decided to stain.

I wanted the posts and railing to match the flooring that we chose in our home. If we had traditionally stained hardwood flooring, we would be able to ...
Spring Cottage Living Room
Now that Valentine's Day is behind us...I'm in full Spring-mode! I've been craving lots of lighter colors & textures this past week. Even though winter is (unfortunately) far from over in western PA, I couldn't help but bring some of the fresh & clean spring vibes to our home. Maybe this will help spring come sooner?! Here's to hoping! To achieve this - I started by removing all of the dark winter greens. The large statement wreath above our couch was originally decorated with ...

The holiday of love is just a day away now & I can hardly believe how fast this year is flying by.
