little scandinavian christmas tree
I am always drawn to things that are European, specifically if they are German or Scandinavian. I am sure that is heavily influenced by my childhood years spent in Germany. I still remember the wonder I felt when we took field trips to the Christkindlmarkt and that has always stuck with me. So, over the […]
orange clove pomanders & free mrs. meyers
In recent years, I have enjoyed making most of my Christmas decorations from natural elements. This year, I was inspired to make orange pomanders by Mrs. Meyer’s Orange & Clove holiday scent. I’ve been wanting to make them for a while, but this promotion gave me a good excuse. That’s right… It’s that time, again! If […]
the slow evolution
I’m sure you would agree that our society as a whole suffers from “instant-itis”. We want it all now, fast, and simple. And the expectation for a room makeover has been altered ever since Trading Spaces. A room can be completely (debatably) finished from top to bottom in 2 days. And, while some transformations can […]
seasons of home | christmas kitchen

Furniture Feature Friday | No. 3
Happy Friday! When it’s Friday, you know what that means. The weekend, yes. But, also Furniture Feature Friday is back! Here are my favorites from last week… This dresser by Dionne of The Turquoise Iris is just a show-stopper. Well, everything she does is! Part artist, part furniture gal. Dionne is definitely a kindred spirit. […]
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 […]
