One thing that I've learned from being a new home owner? Patience. It's so easy when you move into your brand new home to feel like you want to do all the things, right here and now. It's taking us time and money to get the pieces we want and need for our home but for now, I am counting each little piece of our house-puzzle as a win. The main level in our house has hardwood flooring (here) that I knew I wanted to cozy up over time with area rugs. Since moving in, we've had to prioritize and ...

Vintage Botanical Work Space
Today, I am sharing truly one of my favorite parts of our home...my office! This is a space that inspires me to create and think up all of my crazy dreams. Recently, I've been spending lots of time here and I hope that it inspires you to create a space for yourself that inspires you, too. When we moved into our home we had two extra bedrooms that weren't being used up. In the long-run we would want to have these bedrooms filled with kids but until we get there, we wanted to make use of ...
IKEA Havsen Apron Front Double Sink Review
I'm not typically a picky person but when it came to the must-haves of our newly built home, I was bound and determined to have a farmhouse kitchen sink. A sink, Sarah? Who really cares.

I'm on a roll, y'all! I came home with lots of goodies at amazing prices but the one I'm most excited about? These antique matching corbels....😍 These cuties were smack dab in the front of the antique mall when I walked in and I couldn't believe my eyes. I like to walk through an entire place before ...
Decorating with Neutrals: Whites, Creams and Beiges
Today, I am speaking my real love language with you guys: Neutrals. I try really really hard to use more color in my decor but my heart and eyes tend to gravitate towards whites, creams and beiges. The older I've gotten, the less I fight it 😆 Decorating with neutrals can be tough and it's taken me lots of time and trial and error to make neutrals look cozy and not "blah". There are a few tricks that I've learned over the years that I use when decorating a space with these colors and let's ...
Antique Window Sconces
I realllly didn't mean to leave you all hanging with this project. I shared the process on my Instagram stories this past week and was waiting to share how they looked for a full blog post in case this is something you want to try for yourself! While Eli and I were on Christmas vacation last week, we really wanted to relax and enjoy some time together. One thing that I really wanted to do on this time off? Go to an antique mall. I can't believe that I've never been to one until last ...
