Christmas foyer
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to have a staircase with pretty railings, bannisters, and a newel post. Specific, I know, but I just have a thing for staircases. Maybe that came from growing up in small, military apartments… Well, I finally get to live in a house with an awesome staircase […]
season of giving | using social media for good
Even though it’s a big part of my business, I will admit to having a love/hate relationship with social media. It can be impersonal, superficial, and downright ugly at times. And, honestly, sometimes it’s just too much input from people who don’t really know you. But, it can also be an amazing community… A tribe […]
Seasons of Home | Milk-Painted Gift Boxes
I’m so excited to share, that for the final post in the Seasons of Home series, we’re all sharing projects completed with MMS Milk Paint! Not only is it inspiring for me to see my product used by such talented ladies, but it’s such an encouragement that they were willing to work with my brand […]

tacos & other between-holiday meals
This post is sponsored by Blue Apron. All words and opinions are, as always, honest and my own. I do enjoy cooking, but I have a threshold. If I am spending the better part of the day baking pies and prepping food to get ready for a holiday dinner, I don’t want to have to […]
romantic homes & celebrating everyday life
Since Thanksgiving, a cough and cold has been kicking my rear! Between that and my shoulder that is still sore, I have been loafing a lot more than usual. So, while there is cleaning that could be done and decorating that I want to do and paint brushes that are calling my name, I have […]
