Easter Basket Gift Ideas for Toddlers & Preschoolers
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. Full disclosure. It’s hard to believe Easter is next weekend! I am always so last minute getting my kids’ baskets made up. If you are in the same boat, and have a toddler or preschooler in your house, I have a round up of some adorable gifts to fill their baskets. We always have an egg hunt for the kids first thing (outside if the weather cooperates and inside if not), which we fill with little candies, stickers, or small toys. And then eventually the trail of eggs leads to their baskets. Here…

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…

Design Crush: Mid-Century Sideboards & Consoles
I am currently loving all things mid century in home decor. Years ago, I would have said heck no to this style, but now I can’t get enough. When we moved my grandparents HiFi record console into our living room, it added the exact vibe I was craving. Today, I am sharing some of my favorite mid-century inspired sideboards, buffets and consoles that I am crushing on. I would love to add a mid century style buffet or sideboard to our dining room…if only space would allow. I love browsing Pinterest to see how others have styled them, which makes me long to have another one even more. The one…

Neutral Bohemian Home Accents
I have always been a fan of neutral decor regardless of any current style trends. Neutral, in my mind, meaning a white, cream, tan, brown, gray and black color palette. Even as my style has evolved from rustic farmhouse to more eclectic bohemian in the past couple of years, I still find myself drawn to neutrals and love having them surround my home, now often punctuated with more colorful pieces. I am also a huge fan of texture. Neutrals + texture = pure heaven in my book! Today, I am sharing some of my favorites pieces that fit the bill. I have several of these pieces in my own home so…

Rustic Bohemian Light Fixtures {under $300}
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission from any sales made through them, but the cost to you does not change. Full Disclosure. I have been trying to decide on a new light fixture for our living room for awhile now. The thing is…I am having a hard time nailing down exactly what style and finish I want. Eclectic? Rustic? Midcentury? Moroccan? Geometric? Wood? Beaded? Copper? Brass? Iron? There are so many options it almost feels impossible to decide some days. Then there is the factor of cost. Really beautiful and unique fixtures can be upwards of $2,000. Yikes! #aintnevergonnahappen. I decided to do some looking online…
