the inspired bell
I remember the very day I typed “home decor blog” in the search bar for the first time. I didn’t know such a thing existed until a friend told me about them. That’s a thing? I thought bloggers were all guys in their basements ranting about politics and sports! Well, obviously, I figured out that […]
October Favorites
October has been a great month. I feel like we’re finally getting into a rhythm with our schedule and a lot of great memories have been made. The boys had their first sleep over, I had lunch/coffee with several new friends, our church small group started meeting at our house, and we had our first […]
living room updates
As I shared yesterday, I worked on cleaning out the dining room and that turned into polishing up some other areas in the house that have been unfinished. One of those spots was the wall with the pine hutch in the living room… I hung my small collection of German stag antlers on either side […]

There’s also something nostalgic about looking furniture posts and picking favorites. I started […]

It doesn’t have storage closets, rolling dividing walls, or many zones for different tasks. This studio is designed specifically for small-scale creative endeavors and photography. No shipping, no office work, no big sewing […]

kitchen layers & textures
Since we’ve been talking a lot about the kitchen and adjoining eating area, I thought I would share a bit more about the direction I’m heading. Right now, it’s all a little one-note, but that’s intentional. When possible, I like to start with a foundation for a room that’s classic and will have longevity for […]
