I decided to use a traditional brick set 4x8 white tile for the shower. But changed it up just a bit, I used “Matte” white and the size of tile I used felt more classic to a farmhouse style.

It was a BOLD move but glad I did it! … [Read more...]
Pantry Organization
Happy New Year! I love decorating for the Holidays but there is something so freeing to pack it up and put it all away when the Season is over. I also love entertaining during the Season so my pantry begins to be the caught all for a lot of leftovers. I had half eaten boxes of crackers, 4 extra cans of frosting, extra candies for decorating. I bought three boxes of Chex cereal so I could make Chex Mex but never got around to it. (finally I did) So, once I got all my Christmas decorations put away I headed straight to the pantry for a little clean out. When we built this house, I wanted a pantry large enough to house a cabinet with … [Read more...]

Easter Pastel Mood Board
Easter is just around the corner and I’m so excited! I missed celebrating last year, with the pandemic in full force, we didn’t celebrate like we normally do. This year, I feel ahead of schedule with Spring decorations and we are planning a small gathering to celebrate. I found a cute gingham dress that would also double as a fun swim coverup in the summertime. If you are celebrating less dressy... I found this sweet gingham sweatshirt. I love celebrating any Holiday that involves food! It gives me an excuse to go all out on setting the table. I also am completely in love with adding Spring flowers to the table and around the living area. I … [Read more...]
