The goal for our living room this Christmas? Cozy-neutral-heaven. I wanted lots of warm whites and textures for days. The kinda room you want to take a long winters' nap. How'd I do? I'm loving it! We started by moving this wool/jute rug that was in our dining room into the space. The warm undertone of the rug was just what I was going for! To tie into the rug, I decided to add all of my white and/or cream pillows. Anything with tassels, cable knit or buttons. Cozy factor: ...

Cheerful Winter Front Porch
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, I'm ready to bring some holiday cheer to every part of our home! I love decorating the outside of our home because it sets the tone for the holiday cheer you'll find inside. This year, I created this cheerful winter front porch scene and I'm loving how it turned out! I wanted to use the same white wooden planters that I used during the fall but just swapped out the mums for some winter greens. These were from my local Lowe's store & I love the ...
Small Shop Share: The Zoe Bird

Vintage Inspired Christmas Open Shelving
Well friends, Christmas decorating is well underway! I finally got around to sprucing up the large hutch in our dining room this past weekend and I'm loving the cheerful vibe. In this space, I wanted to use darker evergreens, wood tones and lots of stoneware! I tried to add bits of greenery sporadically on the shelves to make the hutch tie into the rest of the space (that I'll be sharing soon!). One of my favorite things I added to these shelves this year were these adorable white ...
How to Make Your Christmas Tree Look Taller
I'm all about finding work-arounds when it comes to home decor. Why spend a ton of money when you don't have to? I came up with a little hack this past weekend when I decided to spruce up our bedroom a bit for Christmas. I figured today, I'd share a few tips on how to make your Christmas tree look taller. You see, before building our home, Eli & I lived in an apartment for three years. During that time I bought this 5 ft flocked tree from King of Christmas. I love the quality of it and ...
Easy Winter Centerpiece
This years' Christmas decor vibe? Simple. I'm really striving to be intentional with the purchases I make and the decor I put into our home. I really want to focus on using/buying pieces I truly love and will be willing to use for years to come. I wanted to create a simple and cozy centerpiece on our coffee table in our living room using a few "leftover" pieces from decorating. I'm loving how this one turned out, friends! Since we upgraded to a larger tree this year, our old cable ...
