Self Care and Sleep
I have partnered with Cozy Earth in exchange for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. I don’t know about you, but 2020 and the beginning of 2021 were excruciating for me. For numerous reasons, most obviously Covid and all of the unplanned changes that came with the pandemic. One thing that I realized through therapy and inviting friends back into my life in recent months is that self care was not on “my list” of things to do. I had merely been surviving each day, and fighting to simply do that. During the height of the pandemic, I had all four kids at home, two…

Choosing Art for the Bedroom
I have partnered with Photowall for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. Hey Friends! I hope this July finds you well. Things are still pretty low key here. We have started having a few small family get togethers but are staying home most of the time. Life is sure busy with an almost 9 month old, very spirited three year old and seven and nine year olds! I never know how the day will go. We make the best of staying home and have certainly been enjoying the warm summer weather. A much needed change these days is that little Fletcher has *finally* learned how…

Master Bedroom Color Palette and Inspiration Pieces
Hey Friends! I’ve been working on getting our master bedroom decorated since we moved into our suburban colonial a couple of years ago and have made some decent (albeit slow) progress. Today, I wanted to share the color palette I decided on and inspiration pieces that helped guide me. I made these two mood boards in the Over app (which I am loving!) to show you the images from my previous posts that are inspiring me and colors I am gravitating towards for the full room design. The post contains some affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales placed through them, but the cost to you…

White and Gray Vintage Bathroom Refresh
Life has sure changed in the past couple of months, hasn’t it? I never could have imagined living in a time like this, but here we are. I hope all of you are managing to stay healthy both physically and mentally as we battle this crisis time “together alone.” I, personally, am holding up well although we have all battled some form of illness or another in the past several months. Everyone seems to be healthy now and we continue to stay close to home. This time has had its number of challenges as we strive to figure out our new normal. My top priority is keeping the kids healthy…

Updating a Bathroom Without Remodeling
Summer is flying by! I even lit one of my fall candles the other day and found myself getting in the mood for the next season. Yup, I really did. Don’t worry, I didn’t break out any fall dĂ©cor just yet. I’ll wait till September for that. But seriously, I am still enjoying the warm weather and spending the days carefree (for the most part), with the little ones. I haven’t had a lot of time to work on any dollhouse projects, but I am looking forward to that when the older kids go back to school and the baby is taking a nap. So no miniatures today, instead, I…

Favorite Decorating from Our Previous Home
It’s hard to believe that we have lived in our new home for over six months now. I am loving all of the extra space and conveniences nearby, not to mention the opportunity to decorate with a completely new palette. We have met and even begun to build friendships with wonderful neighbors in our cul-de-sac, and it really does feel like home. I have to admit though, I still have moments where I miss our old house, the small country town we lived in, and the amazing neighbors we left behind. I still get a twinge of sadness when I think of that first home we lived in for seven…
