I feel like this post has been months in the making. I'm so excited to finally share the rug we found for our living room. A few months back we had this wool/jute rug in our living room and while I loved the rug itself, I wasn't loving it with our beige couches. I ended up moving the jute rug into our dining room which you can see here and have been on the hunt for a new one for the living room ever since. Now, I don't consider myself super picky in a lot of aspects of my life but with big ...

Front Porch Antique Deacon’s Bench
I never realized how much I would love and appreciate a front porch until we built our house. It's one of my favorite spots to relax and unwind. We have a long way to go with our front porch but this Spring it's been one of my goals to spruce it up a bit and add some exterior charm. This bench. Gosh. Can you even handle it!? I stared at this cutie for months and was surprised by my mom with it on Christmas. She's the best! It was one of those pieces that I looked at every time I went into a ...
Sliding Antique French Doors
I can't express how excited I am to share this project with you guys. Mostly because of how awesome they turned out but also a because that means this project is done.... haha!

When we were having our house built, I knew I wanted to have a sliding door in our master bedroom leading into our bathroom. Since I had this vision early on, we went ahead and told our contractor to ...
Farmhouse Decor Hack: Keeping Your Whites White
Since starting my Instagram/blog last year, the number one question I’m asked is, "How do you keep all of the white in your house from getting dirty!?" Valid question. We have a puppy the size of a small horse. We live at a newly constructed home with barely any grass grown in yet (mud-galore). We live in the country. Dirt is bound to enter our home one way or another. I could make things much easier on myself if I maybe wouldn't have an off-white couch, white bedding or white cabinets. ...

The Best All-Natural Deodorant
Okay, I have a confession. Until this year, I hardly cared about the beauty products that I was putting on and into my body. In 2019, one of my goals was to be more aware of the harmful chemicals I expose myself to on the daily. I'm starting super small on this journey and taking it one step at a time in doing my research and making better choices. A few friends mentioned an app that allows you to search or scan any (and I mean any) household item and see the chemicals/ingredients that are ...
