Today I'm sharing our Christmas home tour: Part two. Last week I shared the first part of our home tour, and today I'm back to share the final part. I have had so much fun decorating our home this year. I've kind of just let it happen. I had a tiny plan, but other than that, I let it decide itself as I started placing things around the house. Since we focused on the kitchen and breakfast nook in the first part of the tour, I'll share a few pictures of those rooms just to remind you where we left off. Our kitchen... And breakfast nook, which is my favorite room this year... Next room on the tour, is our living room. I looove that you can see the two trees ...

Our Christmas Home Tour: Part One
Yes, it's officially Christmas time! Bring on the wonderful home tours, decorating ideas, and the joy of the Holiday season! Today I'm sharing our Christmas home tour: part one. It does seem a little bit surreal that we're already in the last month of the year, but Christmas is one of my very favorite times of the year...

Silent Night Christmas Pillow For The Shop… And More!
Today I'd like to introduce the newest (& First) Christmas pillow for our shop! In keeping with the same design/ vibe as our super popular How Great Thou Art Pillow, I designed our Silent Night pillow to tie in... I absolutely adore this pillow! It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the burlap fabric has a lovely gold glitter. It shines in the light, giving it a lovely glow. The back of the pillow is a black quilted material. My heart skips a beat every time I walk by it in our breakfast nook! This item will be limited, and will be available to start shipping the first week of December! I have guessed on the quantities, so if this is something you love, please leave a ...
Merry Christmas!
Hi friends! Sorry for my absence this last week. I wasn't intending on it, but one thing led to another, and each day seemed to fly by faster than the previous one! Plus, I figured I should probably do some Christmas shopping since I had done absolutely zero. Whew! I hope you're doing fabulous and enjoying this amazing Holiday season. Between getting ready for the Vintage Whites Market, which is January 9th & 10th (Yikes), finishing projects, and enjoying all the Christmas traditions that we do as a family, this has been a busy time of year for us. And, I had to make time to decorate cookies... Especially little stockings for Anthony and I... And, other than Christmas ...
Our Christmas Home Tour (Part 2)
Isn't Christmas one of the best times of the year? And no, not because of the gifts. I love when the house feels warm, cozy and inviting. It absolutely makes me want to stop what I'm doing and just sit. Still. It's about the real reason for the season. And that's why I decorate our home. Today, I'm sharing part two of our Christmas home tour. You can see the first part here. For this part of the tour, I'm sharing our kitchen, living room and breakfast nook! And can I just tell you how much I love our breakfast nook? It's the prefect cheery, cozy room. It draws me in every time, but there's something about it this Christmas... It's simple, but so extremely festive... The ...
Our Christmas Home Tour
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 editing pictures, there were sooo many that I didn't want to leave anything out. So, tomorrow will be part two! Today, I'm going to focus on our entry, dining room, living room, and parts of our kitchen. Let's get to it! I've probably mentioned it about 100 times already, but I seriously love, love, love our dining room shelves. It's absolutely one of the best projects we've done to our home. And for good ...

Christmas Kitchen Shelf
Since we're not hosting Thanksgiving this year, I've been ready to start getting the house ready for Christmas, especially since we're getting ready for The Vintage Whites Market. These next few months are going to be really, really busy. :-D So, when Sonya from At Home With The Barkers and Melissa from Daisy Mae Bell asked me to share my Christmas Mantel, I couldn't wait to get busy decorating. And even thought we don't have a mantel in our home, I decided to share our Christmas Kitchen Shelf. This year, I've decided to decorate the house with a simple Christmas in mind. To set the stage for everything else I'll be doing, I kept our kitchen shelf very natural, but with touches of ...

Christmas Home Tour
Welcome! It's all about Christmas today! This year I wanted to focus on the handmade side of things, so I spent a lot of time actually making many of the things in our home and in the pictures below.

Our Christmas Home Tour
Well, it's time to give your our Christmas tour. I've already shown you a few areas of our home, but there are a few new rooms and pictures sprinkled in there too. If there were ever too many pictures in one post, this could be that post. :) . ENJOY . Front Porch: I almost thought this poor little area wasn't going to make it through the snow and heavy wind beating a couple of days ago. I may have had to search the yard for several of the items, but here it is! Living Room: I already showed you our tree, but this time we have presents under it . Dining ...
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
The day that our Christmas Tree went up, I was a happy lady! The house finally felt festive and oh so Christmas-y! Since this is the first Christmas in our new home (and the first Christmas this house has ever seen!), I really wanted to get a fresh tree. I had been planning it since the house was finished in June. Then, something called corn harvesting happened and my plans for a fresh Christmas tree flew out the window. For about two days I was totally bummed and was ready to replace our Christmas tree with something a little easier to set up by myself. I started searching around for a new Christmas tree, fainted when I saw the prices of what I wanted, and made the trek to our garage to ...
Christmas Countdown
Have you ever saw something that you loved, that spoke to you, that called your name? Something that you just had to have? Me! Me! I have! When I stumbled upon Emily's lovely Christmas Countdown board I had to have it! So, like anyone who is completely smitten and in love with something, I had to recreate her awesome-ness! Ah, I loooove it! And talk about a simple, but rewarding project. I love how customizable it it! Choose whatever catches your eye. At first the idea of finding 25 small-ish items may seem a little overwhelming, but the craft store is an excellent place to find lots of little items. Get creative! I searched high and low in the craft ...
Easy Christmas Craft- DIY Frosted Trees
Hello! First off, thank you all for your kind and happy comments about our Christmas shelves. We love them too! ;) Today, I'm showing you how I made my super easy and super cheap Frosted Twig Trees. (Say that three times fast!) Like I mentioned in my original post, I really didn't want to spend any money on decorations this year. So, l did what I normally do, and went outside to see what I could find. Because we have about 5 trees that shed like crazy, my first thought was to use the sticks and twigs for something. I gathered up as many as I could find, which ended up being a large amount. Once I brought them inside I figured they would look pretty awesome is they were "frosted". ...
Christmas Shelves- AKA- My Mantle
You may remember that when we built our kitchen shelves all I could think about was decorating them for Christmas. Needless to say, I was quite the happy lady when it was time to decorate. Ah, the joy! I think I still might be floating on a cloud. Admittedly, I did struggle with narrowing down my theme for this year. I soaked in so much inspiration that I wanted to include it all. That probably wouldn't have turned out so great... Finally, I decided on a classic Christmas color duo: Silver & Gold. The only problem with my theme is that every time I say it in my head, I start singing the "Silver & Gold" song from Rudolf. Wait, that may not be that bad of a problem... With the ...
TGI-Friday
Happy TGI-Friday! It's been a little while since I've shared a TGI-Friday post, but I always look forward to putting them together. They're a bit random, but they're full of so many good things, including my favorite new finds and behind the scenes things we've been working on, or upcoming projects we'll be starting. Lately, we've been focusing on all things baby. I've been putting my registry together and finalizing our design plan for her room, as well as the budget for all the pieces we'll need to be collecting to make her room come together. Like with most rooms, it's going to be a mix of high and low priced items. We'll splurge on some things and save on others, ...
How To Install Wall Moulding
We've been doing some work in our master bathroom and it's coming along beautifully. When coming up with the design plan for this bathroom, I really wanted to add some extra character, especially with the bathroom being such a small space. Wall moulding was an essential part of my plan, and we just recently installed a few walls, with one more to go. Today though, I wanted to share our method on how to install wall moulding. It's such a beautiful way to add character to any space. How To Install Wall Moulding Before we get started, if you haven't caught up with progress in our master bathroom, you can read my last update here. This bathroom has come such a long ...
What We’ve Been Up To
Holy cow... it feels like I blinked and we're well into February. It's hard to believe the last time I posted was right before Christmas, but that's how it's gone these past few months. Because I haven't posted in a little while, I thought I'd share what we've been up to and catch you up before we dive head first into new projects! And boy, do we have new projects lined up for the year... Honestly, the main reason I haven't been very active here on the blog or social media, is because I spent nearly the entire month of December, and the first few weeks of January, sick with two terrible colds that I got back to back. It wasn't very fun, but we made it through and I'm so happy to have the ...
Gluten Free Peppermint Bark Scones
After feeling so crummy from a bad cold these past few weeks, I was relieved when I finally started feeling better. I had such big plans for this Christmas season, and sadly, so many of my ideas were put on hold because of my nasty cold. One thing I promised myself though, was that I'd be able to do some holiday baking and make these gluten free peppermint bark scones for Scone of the Month! Fun fact: Todd and I love peppermint bark. Every Christmas season we'll either buy some or make it, and it's delicious to munch on. Because of that, I knew I had to create a peppermint bark scone with my favorite gluten free scone mix. If this is your first time here, I've shared my love ...
How I Store Fall Decor
As we switch seasons and start decorating for Christmas, I thought it might be helpful to share how I store fall decor. Over the years, I've really narrowed down my fall decorations, but there's still items I like to keep and use. Admittedly, I like to use our everyday items, but just add in a few fall touches here and there, while also adding in real tree branches. But with that said, I do have some faux pumpkins, stems, a collection of leaves I love, and a few glass vases I store each year. While my storage method may not be ground breaking, it's working very well for us, and I know exactly where to find our decor items, and that they'll be in good shape from ...
The How Great Thou Art Pillow Pre-Sale Is Live!
It's such an exciting day around here! After working around the clock for the last month or so, the How Great Thou Art Pillow pre-sale is live and ready to shop! Woohoo! Over the last few years, I've received countless e-mails requesting that I bring this pillow back in stock. Today, I'm so happy to make it a reality and offer the pillow up for grabs this holiday season! This pillow is so much more than a pillow. It's a beautiful and meaningful message that speaks right to the heart. It's a reminder of those we love and the memories we cherish. It's also one of the best conversation pieces in my home. A couple years ago, I went through one of the most difficult times in my ...
