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, ...

TGI-Friday: Our New Christmas Tree, Fun Holiday Baking Items, A Great Winter Coat, & More!
Yesterday I decided to put up our new Christmas tree! It arrived a few days before that, and I was torn on when I wanted to put it up since it's a little bit earlier than normal. Excitement to see what it looked like got the best of me and, well, it's now standing tall in our living room. It's such a beautiful tree, and the perfect size for our living room. I've been debating on how I want to decorate it, and I finally have a plan! The next few weeks will be busy getting the house ready for Christmas, and I'll be sharing the tour, and so many other ideas, starting the first week of December! Get ready, because there's so many good things coming! Other fun things: ...
TGI-Friday: Decorating For Christmas & More
Happy Friday! These past few mornings we've woken up to snow on the ground, making things feel a lot more like Christmas, and less like fall. The cold has definitely arrived, and I've been enjoying watching the snow blow around and shine in the sunlight. I'm really excited about decorating for Christmas this year. Last year, we were living in our tiny rental while we were knee deep in demo'ing our Willow House. We did minimal decorating, but did manage to put up a little mini tree to celebrate. This year though, I'm looking forward to spreading the Christmas cheer all through the house like normal. I'll be doing a Christmas Home Tour around the first week of December, and because of ...
TGI-Friday: Hawaii Trip Recap
Happy TGI-Friday! We're officially back from Hawaii and as much fun as we had, it's so nice to be home! There's something so comforting about coming home to a place you love! One of the first things I told Todd as we were rolling our bags up to the house was how cute our front porch looks decorated for fall. I shared all about that last week, but it's still looking just as beautiful today. One thing I can say for sure, fall is in full swing in Colorado and we were able to see the colors changing from the airplane. It was such a beautiful sight! We traded beaches and ocean air for crisp nights and changing trees. Both are lovely, but this is home. We had so much fun in Hawaii, ...
TGI-FRIDAY: Scone of the Month, What I’m Taking To Hawaii, Fire Pit Search & More
This week has been so incredibly busy! Next week we're we sneaking away to Hawaii, so I've been doing my best to get ready for our trip, and making sure the blog has new content for you to enjoy while we're away! I'm also in the middle of working on two big projects we'll be launching in October. I can't wait to share more, but sooo many of you have been asking for one of them, and I can't wait to bring it to you! My lips are sealed for a little while longer, but get ready! In case you missed my blog post earlier this week, I shared a fun new series I'm introducing on the blog: Scone of the Month. I can't even tell you how much I love scones. They're one of my absolute favorite ...
TGI-FRIDAY: A Home Office Update & So Much More
It's time for another TGI-Friday, and this week I'm including a home office update. Honestly, since we've been knee deep in exterior projects, we haven't made a ton of progress, but that's about to change! A little while back, I shared the design plan for the office. We've been buying several of the items, and I can't wait to start putting the room together. One of the big key factors, is going to be getting the closet shelves finished. Right now, it's basically just full of boxes making the room hard to organize. We also need to buy a small filing cabinet, because as much as we've been able to go paperless, there's still papers that need to be kept and filed. I did get the ...
TGI-Friday: Patio Demo, Landscaping & House Video’s
It's time for another TGI-Friday! We've had so much going on these past few weeks, it's been hard to keep up with everything! A proper update is definitely due! If you follow me on Instagram, and if you watched my Stories, you saw that last week we worked on demo'ing our back patio for the new patio installation. We were scheduled to have the work done this week, we just weren't sure when they'd be here, but they started all the prep work today! Needless to say, it's an exciting day around here! They should be finished next week... we're both so excited to have a new patio! In all honesty, demo'ing the patio went much easier than we were expecting. It was still a full day, ...
TGI-Friday: Our Weekend Trip To Denver & What We Bought At Ikea
Like I mentioned in our laundry room update post this week, we set out on a quick trip to Ikea a few weekends ago, and decided to spend some much needed "down time" in Denver while we were visiting. Even though we've both lived there (ages ago), we'd never really stayed downtown and took in the sites. This was finally the weekend though, and we had so much fun walking 16th Street Mall, shopping and visiting a few local restaurants from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. We both love watching the show, so we planned ahead and picked where we wanted to go. After a few long months of work, it's exactly what we needed. On one of our walks back from breakfast one morning, we stopped and admired ...
TGI-Friday & The Last 5 House Things I’ve Purchased
Friday... Isn't it one of the best days of the week?! In today's TGI-Friday post, I thought it would be fun to share the last 5 house things I've purchased... minus groceries! Even though I haven't been posting on the blog, that doesn't mean I haven't been buying the house some goodies here and there! (Can't stop, won't stop!) But first, let's take a good look at some of the big highlight things we've been up to the past few months... Have I ever told you about my love for scones? If I haven't, I'm not sure what I've been doing. I love scones! I've always been obsessed with them, and I've now, happily, passed that love onto Todd. I couldn't believe he hadn't ever had a scone before ...
TGI-Friday
Remember when I shared TGI-Friday in the past? I know it's been a little while, but I really like the idea of sharing some behind the scenes peeks, as well as new things I find and love. It's a random post, but it's real and full of good stuff! In house news, we've been spending our weekends working on the yard. If you're following my Instagram stories, you've got a good glimpse at what we've been working on. Just like the rest of the house, it has been severely neglected. The grass that was once there is long gone and we have a ridiculous amount of sticks and tree saplings everywhere. Todd brought his skid steer from work and we've been doing demo on the landscaping. We've scooped up ...
TGI-Friday
It's officially ten days until Christmas... are you ready? I still have a little bit of shopping to do... and several presents to wrap, but one of the things I look forward to most, is spreading out all my wrapping supplies, filling the boxes full of gifts, and then turning on a Christmas movie while I wrap. It's one of my little traditions that I look forward to every year.

TGI-Friday
Happy TGI-Friday! This week has been busy! Between all the Christmas posts here on the blog (are you all caught up?), I had a fun Christmas photo shoot Wednesday, and then I've been working on a big living room design for a client of mine! Needless to say, I'm ready for the weekend... and having a schedule free couple of days! I'll be sharing more Christmas decorating next week, but here's a peek from Wednesday's photo shoot. I call this, grab a cookie (or two) and run!

TGI-Friday
I think we can all agree that Fridays tend to be a pretty great day of the week... at least I really like them, ha! I've wanted a way to share random bits, happenings and fun finds on the blog for a long time. And while sometimes those things don't have enough content on their own to make a full post, combing them together makes perfect sense. So, welcome to TGI-Friday, a fun collection of random things I find and love, a place where I share happenings around the house and even some personal bits here and there, as well as a behind the scenes look into my life and projects. It's casual, fun and probably more personal than I've ever been on the blog. Let's do this. I've wanted to ...
