Custom Wall Art on Canvas
I have partnered with Photowall for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. It’s not often easy for artists to appreciate their own work. We are always striving to improve, to find our style, to grow and be like those that inspire us. But do we ever stop to see the profoundness in our own uniqueness? Do we ever get to revel in the joy of our own talents, gifts, abilities, attempts? I struggle with this. A lot. I have always considered myself “an artist” –although more disparagingly than I would describe a friend as an artist. “Oh her? She is AMAZING and so talented. Such…

Spring in the Dining Room
Well, hello there! It has been quite awhile since I have been here! I am happy to pop in today to share with you a little spring/summer vignette in our dining room. Life has been all sorts of crazy over the past year and I have not really focused on the house or decorating or doing much of anything other than chasing kids around and making sure everyone else has what they need. But as my youngest two gain more independence (and one takes lengthy afternoon naps), and my older two are back to full time school, I am finding time to get back to some of the things I…

September is here! This summer flew by for us. I can’t believe beginning this Wednesday, I will have a second and third grader. They really are growing fast. Violet will be three in just a couple of months and the new baby will be here before we know it. Only 6-7 weeks left! Where does the time go? Well, I have definitely been starting to have all the fall feels and can’t wait to decorate for my…

Thanksgiving Dining Room Decor
November is flying by, isn’t it? With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I finally got all of the Halloween and birthday party decorations down in time to do a little decorating. I am not hosting dinner this year (thank goodness!), but I always like to decorate for Thanksgiving anyway. I kept things fairly simple again this year with a vintage, eclectic vibe. Like I’ve mentioned in previous posts, we plan on painting the dining room a dark color once we get all of the wallpaper removed (it was painted over by the previous owner so it will take a while!). Right now I am debating between black or a dark…

Romantic Valentine’s Day Table
Valentine’s Day is almost here! My kids have been having so much fun counting down the days with the goodie bags on our Valentine’s tree, and we have already been enjoying some fun and “romantic” dinners in our dining room which is all decked out for the big day. Today, I am going to show you how I quickly pulled together an eclectic, romantic Valentine’s table for minimal cost. This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. I decided to purchase a sequinned table runner in rose gold that I have had my eye on for over a year. It’s beautiful…

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…
