My 5 Rules For Hosting

Even though she might not have thought so, I thought she was the best hostess in the world and I wanted to be like her. Once Dearest Carl and …

A Printable Gallery Wall for Summer
I’ve slowly been watching Pinterest as many gallery walls are turning into picture ledges. While I do see the the wisdom behind it (easy to change up, less nail holes later), I’ll always have a special place in my heart for gallery walls. There are just too many prints out there to love! I’m always coming across another free printable …
A Peek at Our Project
Since we bought our house two years ago today, we’ve had a constant rotation of projects. You got to see the before and afters of our bedroom and our downstairs bathroom. I’ve talked a lot about the patio we installed by hand last summer (which I’ll hopefully be able to reveal soon!). We’ve also mostly finished our dining room and …
What We’re Smelling
Things that smell good are my favorite. Whether it’s a crock pot dinner that simmers all day or flowers or Dearest Carl’s cologne, I just want to sniff and sniff and sniff. That’s why I try to make sure my house always smells good. Spring means I get to put away my warm smelling scents and pull out the florals! …

Seriously, the gallery wall in our bedroom is 75% printables. With our living room renovation, I’m daydreaming …
Patio Inspiration
I’m not going to lie, after March’s Paintathon, both Dearest Carl and I are quite painted out. So we’ve been looking to our yard for projects and have been making some improvements! We’ve got our front porch and front yard looking spiffy and have added a bit of landscaping to the backyard, mainly under my beloved lilac bushes. Next on …

My Favorite Spaces
It is my very official opinion that everyone has a few favorite spaces in their home. Spaces that just feel put together and make you smile when you see them. I currently feel like I’m trying to make my whole house be my favorite space and while that is moving pretty slowly, I do have a few spaces that I …
