I’ve been working like crazy on the cabins for the camp project I’m doing. I’m trying to find ways to create a beautiful space on a very limited budget...which means THRIFTING!
It’s been so long since I’ve gone to thrift stores and I forgot how much fun the “thrill of the hunt” is! 🙌🏻

I’ve been craving change lately. It’s about this time every year that my mind starts planning out ALL the things I want to improve in my home...this year is even worse since we never leave it! 🤦🏼‍♀️
So my first (very small) change is in this room. I tackled it for the #oneroomchallenge a few years ago and it’s time to shake it up a bit...nothing dramatic.
I’ve already changed the furniture around but it’s currently still in progress. 🤞🏻I’ll have a finished room next week to share.
Have you moved furniture around yet during this quarantine?

Y’all it’s been a hot minute since I’ve said

Y’all it’s been a hot minute since I’ve said hello!
This year has been off to rocky start (to say the least, am I right?)! However, I have some fun stuff I’ve been working on and I can’t wait to start sharing projects.
I hope you are well! 😘

Happy New Year! I have to say, I have great hopes

Happy New Year! I have to say, I have great hopes for this coming year...just as I did with 2020(even though it didn’t turn out as planned).
My Christmas decor is down, and just like my house, I’m looking forward to a refresh.
I know last year was tough, but there were so many GOOD things that happened. I’m grateful for a new year to experience all this crazy life has to offer...the good, the bad, and all the in between.
What is something good that came out of last year for you?

I loved this mantel from a few years ago. I’ve always thought that the words to O’Holy Night embodies the true meaning of Christmas.
Our world is so weary and in desperate need of HOPE. I hope you all have a blessed Christmas! ❤️

I decided to add some extra holiday decor to our upstairs with the help of @mohawk_home !
.
This rug added a coziness it needed...and a few simple touches of greenery, lights, ribbon was all it took to make it feel like Christmas when you walked up the stairs.
.
It's not too late to decorate! I have some tips for last minute decor over on the blog.

Do like all your Christmas stockings match? I’ve always liked an electric mix...but I also like things asymmetrical! 😆
So I guess the real question is if you like them all to match do you also have to have them hang symmetrical?!?🤔

My halls are decked! What about yours? Also, what are your thoughts on holiday decor...Do you add touches all over your house or keep it to a couple of rooms?

I have a question for you. How many pillows do you sleep with?? 💤
This has been the current debate in our house. My back has been bothering me so I’m sleeping with an extra pillow... 5 to be exact. 😅
I realize that’s a lot, but they are helping me sleep and it’s only one more than normal.
So what’s your number? (I’m really hoping I’m not the crazy pillow lady!)
