Summer Home Tour
It’s a been a heavy few months and weeks, hasn’t it? Not only with everything going on in the world, but also on the home front. A few weeks ago, my grandpa passed away. Sadness has been heavy in my heart and I haven’t had the desire to share anything new here on the blog. I’m sorry for being quiet, but stepping away for a little bit was much needed.
Today though, I’m looking forward to sharing our summer home tour. A big thank you to Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for inviting me to join in and share our home. If you’re visiting from Heather at Southern State of Mind, welcome! She has a beautiful home with a stunning outdoor area!
Lately, we’ve really been trying to get as much done as possible before baby girl arrives in a few weeks, and while there’s still projects we would love to have finished, we’re both ready to meet this sweet little girl and bring her home.
These last few days, I’ve been moving things around the house, clipping fresh tree branches to bring inside and just nesting a little bit. It’s been both refreshing and energizing.
In our entry, I switched up the display on our console table. Fresh tree clippings are such an easy and affordable way to really bring in the season and I love the happy, fresh vibe they share…

Our living room is our favorite space to spend time in. I keep making tweaks and with every change we make, it feels more like us. Really, that can be said for our entire house…
This little corner is my favorite though. It’s cozy, comfortable and filled with such pretty scenery…
A few days ago, I also got the itch to hang up another plate wall. This time though, I used my collection of platters that were still boxed up in the garage…

It’s the perfect little display, leading right into our small dining room…
We’re still loving our new dining room table and the way this space is coming together. I even got around to hanging up some new art from our travels to Hawaii….

We’ve also been making good progress in our kitchen, and I owe you several updates… soon!
The biggest addition as of late, is our new backsplash. We just had it installed and we’re now one step closer to finishing our kitchen…
This kitchen has been a labor of love, being done in baby steps as we continue to budget for each new addition, and make the time for the other projects that still need completed…
There’s still several things left to do, but with each step, we get closer and closer to my overall vision for this space coming together…
Such is the life when you’re living in a fixer upper and budgeting for each project to be finished! 🙂

What a lovely home. I adore your classic kitchen. So happy to be on tour with you!
Your home has come so far and it looks amazing. Your kitchen is going to be a dream, love that new backsplash, it really adds so much to your overall design. Thanks so much for joining the tour this season, your home is always a treat.
Black and White in a completely different look. I love the marble behind the range. The wood blends so well with the black & white. And the rug blends with the wood tones. I have never seen anything come together so completely. Absolutely beautiful.
Love your style! Is there a link for the black handle glass lanterns on your entry table?
Thank you! I’ve had them several years now. I originally bought them at Kirklands. 🙂
Praying for you to have comfort during this time. Also praying for your family as your precious baby arrives.
I’m so sorry for your loss.. we’ve missed your sunshine..?
I am so sorry about the loss of your grandfather! And praying that the delivery of your sweet baby girl will go smoothly!? You have a beautiful home and I love watching you fix it up!
I love your shelves and how you style them! I love the baskets and plates on the wall and all your mix of black and white! Your kitchen is amazing! So sorry about the loss of your grandpa! Excited for your baby girl on the way! Fun to hop with you!
Everything looks beautiful! I love the black chandelier in your dining room and your new back splash.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandfather – thinking of you and your family.
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Your summer home looks beautiful with the fresh green branches set against the gorgeous backdrop. And I am drooling over that waterfall countertop in your kitchen. Gorg!
So sorry for your loss. Your fixer upper is fixing up just so lovely and your summer home tour is beautiful! Can’t wait to see the kitchen’s finishing touches. 🙂 Linda
