Oh sweet summer time. I’ve been anxiously awaiting it. I love the longer days, the warm nights, and watching our crops grow. This year, I am so happy to be sharing our summer home tour with a few other ladies who all love summer just as much as I do.  I can’t wait to tour…

I’m a nature girl. I love neutrals, accents of wood, and anything I can bring in from outside to decorate with. So, when my sweet friend Stacy from Not Just A HouseWife asked me to join in on her series, Styled by 3, I couldn’t wait to see what she would come up with. Before…

I’ve always thought there was a misconception when it came to boxwood wreaths. For some reason, they’ve become the “Christmas Wreath”. And while I completely and utterly think they are beyond fabulous at Christmas, I do think they can be used throughout the rest of the year too! So today, I’m sharing how to decorate…

Today I thought it would be fun to look back at the growth we’ve made in the 3 years since we’ve built our home. It’s been such a fun journey, and one we’re still working on! I really believe it’s important to look back and see the progress we’ve made. Not only does it show…

There are a few things you may have noticed about me. One of them being, I tend to start on a room, complete a few projects, get it looking close to how I want, then leave it and drop it cold. Ouch. Sorry about that. And I’m even more sorry if you’re waiting for the…

I’ve been so excited for Spring this year. Yesterday, my mom and I visited our local nursery and I bought bunches of new perennials, strawberry plants and a couple of trees. One thing about building a new home is, the landscaping takes years to build up. Literally. This year will be our fourth summer in…

Spring is definitely in the air in Colorado! We’ve been busy in the tractors prepping the fields for spring planting, and I’ve been spending time freshening up the yard and getting ready for my own planting! I thoroughly enjoy gardening, and I’m so excited to add more plants to our landscaping this year. It’s definitely…

Spring is definitely in the air and things are in full bloom around here! My tulips have popped up, and the daffodils are bursting with color! And the birds, let’s not forget their cheerful chirping. I’ve really missed them! Since things are really feeling like Spring outside, I thought the inside should too. And there’s…

Hello! I’m so happy to be here today sharing the first part of our Christmas home tour! A big THANK YOU to Jen at Migonis Home for organizing an amazing group of ladies and lots of Christmas home tours to oogle at. I had originally planned on sharing all of our tour today, but after…

I tend to find my best pieces when I take the time to search antique/ flea markets. You truly never know what you’ll find and most of the time they’re original, one of a kind items. Sometimes, you may spend hours looking through things only to end up empty handed. But other times you may…

Our dining room has changed quite drastically over the last few weeks… first with the new paint, and then with the floor to ceiling addition of built in shelving.  And today, I’m sharing how I styled those dining room shelves…. I’ve been amazed at just how much the shelving has completely changed not only the…

Few things in home decorating are better than the fast and easy ideas that reuse old, classic items in a new way. My heart holds a special place for decorating like that. Ideas that bring a new use and meaning to forgotten or dated items can bring such a jolt of creative originality to your…

When I shared our summer home tour a few weeks ago, I completely forgot to include pictures of our living room shelving!  I guess I was way too excited to show you a few other things, like my grandma’s dish set. I love that set! 😀 A while back I decided to switch up a…

Little by little, we’re updating all of our semi builder grade lighting around the house. When we built our home, almost three years ago (how can that be?), we definitely had to stick to our budget. And needless to say, we didn’t have a huge amount of money for lighting. Other things like real hardwood…

Hi there! Today, I’m joining 23 other amazing bloggers by sharing our summer home tour! 😀 Really, we keep things pretty simple around the WGC. I love to move things around, but I definitely don’t completely redecorate the house for each season, expect for maybe Christmas. Instead, I like to make small changes, adding flowers,…

It’s certainly felt like spring here. Tractor work is in full swing and the farm ground is dramatically changing all around us. It’s such a refreshing site. To make the inside of our home feel as fresh and spring-y as the outside, I decided to do a bit of spring decorating. If you’ve been following…

I’ve been craving a bit of change for our kitchen shelves, so I decided to switch things around. A while back I was lucky enough to stumble upon a lovely set of white dishes at the thrift store and I couldn’t help but buy the entire set. They are beautiful and I knew the second…

A few weekends ago one of my best friends and I went to Salt Lake City, Utah to The Vintage Whites Market. Oh. My. Goodness. To sum up the trip, I was basically like a kid in a candy store. It was a two story building packed full of amazingness. I almost didn’t think I…

Today I’m back to share part two of how I found my style. In case you missed it, your can read part one here. Just a fair warning, this post is a bit long… When Anthony and I started building our house, I was so excited. It was a dream come true. But with that,…

I’ve had several questions lately about how I found my style. This is such a heart warming question, and one that was a true journey for me. But because I have a lot to share on the topic, and my post would be really long if I didn’t, I’m making this into a two part…

I’ve always wanted a cozy spot to read. To me, that could be one of the simplest things in life. But also one of the best. I love to escape in a good book, and sometimes that’s the only way I can rejuvenate myself after a long day or week. That’s why I’m so excited…

I’ve had a lot of questions lately about the paint colors & paint sheens in our home. I figured it was time to put them all in one easy to find post! By now you’ve probably figured out that I’m a neutral girl. While I do like color, I like to add it in small…

I’ve been spending a bit of time focusing on our living room… It’s one of the only rooms in the house I haven’t spent much time on, which is why you haven’t seen much of it. And it’s kind of funny considering it’s the first room you see when you walk thru our front door….

A while back I shared my entirely free fabric wrapped frame with wire mesh fencing. I literally built it from things I found laying around. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to find something to put with it. The options are endless, and I’m sure that I’ll be changing it up from time to…
