Our Next Home
If you missed my post on Monday, I shared some exciting (albeit bittersweet) news that we sold our home. In that post, I gave a tour of our current home, staged to sell, and today, I am giving you a glimpse into our next place! When we began our journey into finding our second home, I had no idea what we would end up with, but at that time I thought perhaps a large old farmhouse with tons of space and acreage. After a long while of looking and seeing many different types of homes in our budget, my preferences were narrowed down quite a bit. With three young children,…

We Sold Our House!
So, we actually did it. We sold our home! After living in this two bedroom, humble colonial for seven years, we took the plunge and put it on the market.

Eventually we made it work by switching out the master to make it the kids’ shared bedroom. And then Violet…

Shelf Styling Using What You Have
Today’s post is all about eclectic shelf styling. And on a deeper level: battling perfectionism. Have you ever let perfectionism hold you back even in simple things? I do. A lot.

I love the idea of having white built in shelves to fill with beautiful, eccentric finds and captivating books. I would scour Pinterest for hours basically envying anyone who had the ability to do this. I even created an entire pinterest board dedicated to shelf styling but was believing that I didn’t have what it took…

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…
