Want to know the “real life” behind building a home? Having your kitchen counter sit on your dining room floor for three months. Y'all...this life ain't always glamorous behind the scenes but with time, we are making some serious progress! We finally got our kitchen bar top installed complete with shiplap and corbels 🙌🏼 I'm sure you're wondering why in the heck it took us so long to put this thing on. Well, the shiplap had to be installed first and then I had to find corbels that weren't ...

Farmhouse Jute Rugs
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.

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. Look, I get it!! It seems like a silly thing to focus on to most. To me though, I recognized that a lot of our time as a family is spent in our kitchen. Whether we're making meals, hosting friends or having Saturday night dance parties...it's always been the center of our home. I found the IKEA Havsen apron ...
Living Room Antique Corbels
I wasn't kidding when I mentioned last week that I am officially full-on obsessed with antique malls. This past weekend I visited my second one ever after visiting my first one two weeks ago. 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 ...
