Well, it's 2020 and the projects are well underway in our home! The first one of the year was installing some shiplap in our living room. This project has been on our to-do list for a few months and with our little Christmas break a few weeks ago we were finally able to get to it. Now all I can ask myself is, "Why in the world didn't we do this sooner!?" We started by heading to our local Lowe's home improvement store & picked up some 7.25 x 8 ft white pine shiplap wall planks. These ...

Cozy Neutral Winter Porch
Now that the holidays are behind us, I've been busy taking down all of the Christmas decor. This time of year, I always love to put the reds & jingle bells away while still keeping spaces looking appropriate for the winter season. A few days after Christmas, we had some unusually warm temperatures here in western PA so I took advantage of it and decided to transform our front porch from "Christmas" to "winter". You can check out the Christmas front porch decor on this post. I ...

Small Bathroom Winter Decor
Now that all of my holiday shopping is done, I am taking some time to bring some winter touches to other areas of our home! This weekend, I wanted to spruce up this powder room a little for winter. My goal was to use items that I could easily keep up after Christmas and I think it turned out great! I started with a pretty clean slate and added a faux cedar garland. I found this garland on Etsy and loved the realistic look and "messy" vibe. Oh and who doesn't love having decor you can use ...
Winter 2019 Aerie Try-On
Every once in awhile, I like to head into a store and try on my favorites! I think of these try-ons as a fun way to show you guys what pieces look like on an actual person & give my opinions on how pieces fit/etc. I asked my friends over on Instagram, which store they'd like me to head to and the overwhelming majority said Aerie. Last weekend I went to Aerie and tried on lots of my favorite clothing pieces that the store has to offer. Shop any of the looks by clicking the links under each ...
Vintage Statement Sign
Sometimes you spot a piece in an antique store and you just can not stop thinking about it. I tried with all of my might to walk away from this one but I just couldn't. I like to think that it found me.. Can you even handle it?! It's funny because I wasn't exactly looking for a sign like this when I went antiquing last weekend but as soon as I saw it, it was meant to be. This is an authentic wooden sign with chippy paint and rusty nails galore. I loved the charm of this sign and ...
