Gray & Pink Living Room

I have partnered with Unique Rug Store for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure.

It's been so long since I have shared a decorating post with all of you! Life is crazy busy right now with three kids under five and getting our house on the market! Looking for a new place to call home is exhausting but hopefully we will find something really soon.

This post is long overdue as I received this beautiful new rug from Unique Rug Store way back in October. I completely fell in love with the muted colors and beautiful pattern. I knew I wanted it for my future living room. Granted, I was thinking ahead to my next living room, in our next home, but I couldn't help but put it in this space for the time being. It is VERY large, so it takes up almost the whole space, but I love how it brings warmth and interest to the room, without being overwhelming.

Copper + Gold Boho Thanksgiving Table Ideas

Thanksgiving is coming fast! Even though we are expecting our third baby any time now, there is still a chance we might host Thanksgiving dinner here. It would be potluck and my husband would cook the turkey, so that I can simply focus on our new baby…and making the house pretty for our guests. 

The creativity involved with that actually excites me no matter what is going on. I'm planning now how I want to do up the table should we decide to have our family here. This is what I came up with…my ideal version I suppose you could say.

38 Weeks and Counting

I have partnered with Burke Decor for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure.

On Sunday, I hit the 38 week mark in this pregnancy. This baby seems pretty content to just stay where she is. My first baby, Hazel, was born premature at 31 weeks and Owen was born at exactly 38. It looks like I might get to know what the 39th and 40th weeks of pregnancy are like with this one…maybe even beyond?

I am definitely nesting these days and spending as much time and energy as possible (which is fading fast) getting things ready around here for our baby girl.

Styling a Bed with Kilim Pillows

I have partnered with Kilim Pillow Store for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure.

I can never stop tweaking my decor. I love to change things up. And I have a *slight* obsession with throw pillows. Seriously…I have a closet full of pillow covers and inserts. It might be a little out of control…
Today, I am showing how easily I change out the vibe of our minimalist white bedroom with some textural throw pillows…whenever the mood strikes.

Wildflower Bohemian Baby

Our baby girl is due in less than a month! Hard to believe really, but then I know as soon as she arrives we will wonder how we ever got on without her. It is such an exciting time bringing a new person into the world.

It's been five years since I had a baby girl to shop for, and I have become a bit obsessed with looking for cute new finds for this one. There are so many adorable baby items out there, I just can't help myself. I have already purchased a few, and keep adding to my wish list. Today, I am sharing some of my favorites in a gathering of products in my current "boho baby" style love.

A Vintage Rug for the Kitchen & a Giveaway!

I have partnered with SF Rugs for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure.

I have been wanting a vintage rug in our kitchen for a long while and now I finally have one! Our kitchen renovation has been a very slowwww process to say the least, but we are still plugging away at it. Maybe it will be completely done by the time we put this place up for sale? Let's hope…

We started by painting our wooden cabinets light gray and adding hardware. It did make a huge difference to the look in here. Click here if you missed the BEFORE post.  

Making Room for Baby in a Small Space

As some of you may know, I am expecting our third child this November. Five year old, Hazel and four year old, Owen can't wait to meet their new little sister this fall. It is a very exciting time in our home!

Hazel begged me to have a baby for quite awhile before I got pregnant and desperately wanted a little sister "to play Barbies with" and basically be a little mom to. When we found out it was a girl, she was over the moon thrilled. She would follow me around everywhere and say she just wanted to be close to the baby. Owen was just glad he wouldn't have to share too many toys.

Choosing Curtains for the Bedroom

I have partnered with Budget Blinds for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure.

Choosing curtains seems like an easy thing to do, but for me, not so much. I have stalled on selecting a pair for our master bedroom for several months now. I would go shopping to look, but leave empty handed. I would look online, but couldn't decide what I really wanted. Finally, I found a set that I fell in love with from Budget Blinds.

Simple Fall Mantel: Minimalist & Natural

This year, I decided to go fairly simple with my fall mantel decor. The walls and salvaged mantel are both white, so I wanted to bring in a bit of deep seasonal colors and natural elements to welcome autumn into our dining room.

I shared a glimpse of it in my recent Fall Home Tour. Today, I am sharing more details of how I brought it all together.

Eclectic Fall Decor Ideas

Fall is finally here! After the hottest summer I can remember, I am thrilled that cooler weather has arrived in my neck of the woods. The leaves are changing, we've actually had rain after one of the driest seasons, and the humidity is finally gone. I love this time of year!
Decorating for this season is one of my favorite things to do, and I love being inspired by the cozy fall homes of others. I've gathered together some of my personal favorites from my own blog and from fellow bloggers, each with their own unique style and take on autumn decor.

Fall Home Tour 2016

Welcome to my fall home tour for 2016! This is by far one of my favorite posts every year. The textures, colors and "feelings of fall" go hand in hand with my personal style. Today, I am excited to be joining Lindsay of The White Buffalo Styling Co. and her 'Blogger Stylin' Home Tours'! It is a privilege to join these talented women. Today's first tour was Bliss at Home, so make sure you head over to visit her if you missed it! And be sure to visit the rest of the participants at the end of this post. You won't be disappointed.

Are you ready for the tour? Let's get started!

Refreshing Our Home for Fall

I have partnered with Raymour & Flanigan for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure.

It's almost officially fall! And thus begins my favorite time of year. I can't get enough of this season. I always wish it could last just a little bit longer. My full fall home tour will be coming at the end of this month, but today I am excited to share how I have refreshed our home this season with some new furniture and accent pieces from Raymour & Flanigan. So come on in to get a sneak peek!

Eclectic Bohemian Bedroom Reveal

I have partnered with Raymour & Flanigan for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure.

My bedroom makeover is finally complete! I am excited to share a lot of photos and details about our space with you today and hope you enjoy the tour. It is on the small side since we switched from the master, but I am really happy with how it came out. It truly is like a dream waking up every day in this "new to us" room.

Last month, I talked about making the switch from the master to the smaller room so that Hazel and Owen could have a larger space. They have been sharing this small room since Owen was about a year old. It was getting really cramped with cribs, a dresser, stuffed animals, toys, etc. I had been wanting to switch our rooms for a long time, but it took awhile to get ourselves motivated to do it since a lot of decluttering had to happen first to make the transition easier.

Eclectic Spring Dining Room & Mantel

Spring is here! And it has gotten me in the mood to declutter and freshen up my home. Today, I'm sharing our simple dining room with subtle hints to welcome the season.

As I've mentioned other times, my dining room is the worst for collecting clutter. This room leads to the kitchen, basement and back patio so things are always piling up.

DIY Miniature Faux Fur Vanity Stool

Okay, so I will freely admit it…I am hooked on miniatures right now. The Dollhouse Therapy Challenge has gotten me so motivated, not only to get our dollhouse renovated, but to make lots of lovely little creations for it. Today, I am sharing a super easy DIY vanity stool that could work for a dollhouse (or Barbie if you prefer like my Hazel does).

If you are a die hard miniaturist this is obviously not to 1:12 scale, but for our purposes, it works. The little dresser we have is actually smaller scale and the stool is probably a bit larger. Our dollhouse, that I shared a "before" of here, was a handmade yard sale find and wasn't made to scale anyways, so we aren't bothered a little mixing and matching. Goes with the whole "eclectic vibe" we are going for anyways.

18 Eclectic Living Rooms: Collected Spaces that Inspire

Decorating an eclectic living room can be tough when you want it to be well styled, yet have that "effortless collected" vibe that we can find all day long on Pinterest. I have struggled in my own living room (like I talked about on Wednesday), and often turn to fellow bloggers and interior stylists to gain inspiration.

Here are 18 eclectic living rooms that showcase personality, comfort and style, each in their own unique way. Click on the links to see more from each space.

From Living Room to Family Room

My living room has gone through so many rearrangements and decor changes in the short five years that we have lived here. Guaranteed, if you come over one week, things will be different if you come back a few weeks later. I am a perpetual rearranger. I love to switch things up. It keeps life exciting (well, at least for me).

I recently decided to do another room switch and decided to move all of the "family room" furniture out of the smaller space it was in and back into our main living room. I did all of the following rearranging in one day and by myself (cause I'm crazzzy? Maybe a little!). My husband was a bit surprised when he got home that day. But let's be real…not that much…he has been married to me going on ten years now and this is nothing new.

Girly Wolf Den: Little Girl’s Bedroom Inspiration

My four year old daughter, Hazel, loves wolves. She has a growing collection of stuffed animals and even proudly sports a wolf hat to school every morning. So, as I have been racking my brain, trying to figure out how to combine all of her interests into a cohesive bedroom design, I decided it might help if I pulled together some themes to see what she loved best. Today, I am sharing my first one…a girly wolf den inspired bedroom. 

I know that getting her to fall in love with some of these items (like the bedding) is a long shot. Her favorite color is magenta…sigh. But I am still going to see what she thinks of it all pulled together. She told me just so long as it had wolves she would love it. In fact she already has some of the items on this list including 6 and 8. Number eight is her beloved wolf, Aspen, whom she can't go to bed without!

Favorite Second Hand Finds

Those of you who know me and have followed me for awhile, know that I love getting the majority of my accessories and home decor second hand. I am an avid thrift store shopper and hit up flea markets and yard sales the minute the weather gets nice.

Church sales are actually my favorite places to shop because they often have the lowest prices, great hidden treasures…and sweet church volunteers who are happy to see you find good stuff! I occasionally shop on Craigslist as well and have scored some of my most loved pieces that way.

Here are some of my favorites along with the details of how I acquired them.

Dollhouse Therapy: A Mini Renovation Challenge!

Remember a couple of weeks ago I shared the "before" post for our fixer upper dollhouse? Today, I am excited to tell you about a challenge started by one of my blogging friends, Cassie of Primitive and Proper. She invited me and two other bloggers to share our dollhouse renovations together over the course of the next few months. We are calling it…."Dollhouse Therapy"…how great is that? Working on this little house literally is therapy for me.

I am so excited to be teaming up with these girls for this challenge because I know it is exactly the motivation I need to follow through with this makeover. (I am the queen of getting something started and leaving it for the next shiny, new project enticing me.) This challenge is basically holding me accountable so my children know their mom can get stuff done…
