Easy, Affordable DIY Projects for the Home
Anytime I share a photo of our living room, the number one question I get asked is, "where is that gorgeous leather ottoman from?!" It doesn't matter what the photo is actually supposed to be about, our gorgeous tufted leather ottoman steals the show every dang time. I mean, I get it. It's kind of amazing.

Happy Friday, friends! Let me just say, I don't remember the last time I was starting a Friday morning quite this exhausted. We had Vacation Bible School at our church this week and I've been volunteering at it all week (one more day to go!). On top of that, we've got a few big nursery-related posts coming up on the blog next week, so I've been coming home after VBS every day and working my butt off in the nursery for the rest of the day. Yesterday afternoon was the first time all week that View Post

Here's a quick roundup of my favorite finds from Nordstrom's Half-Yearly sale, plus a roundup of other big sales happening this Memorial Day weekend. Happy Saturday! I know you don't normally hear from me on the weekend, but I plan to take Monday off to spend the day with my family and I wanted to be sure to pop in to alert you to a few amazing deals that are happening this weekend! Do you follow the Nordstrom sales? I'm not usually the type to keep up with when they're having sales, View Post

Happy Friday, friends! I've been counting down the days to this weekend, mostly because I'm dying to spend some time working on our built-in seating in the dining room! We've just had a skeleton of a bench in our dining room all week long, and it makes family dinners very challenging. Hopefully, by the end of the weekend we'll have a fully-completed bench ready for trim and paint. Cross your fingers for us! This week was an exhausting one for me. I spent a ton of time tiling in the View Post
Are you looking for a way to make your dinner table a little more colorful and fun? We recently swapped out our plain white plates for a mismatched place setting thanks to our new Anthropologie plates. There's this small plates restaurant in Austin that Corey and I love and go to every chance we get. They have a really eclectic, homey vibe, and all of their plates are totally mismatched and random. Corey fell in love with the look from the very first time we went, and he's been talking View Post
Spring is officially in full swing in our neck of the woods - I even got to wear shorts one day this week! I know many of you are still getting snow (and I'm so sorry for that!), but I've gotta say I'm really loving all of the warm spring weather we're getting. It's inspiring me to get outside, do some gardening (have you seen our garden? You can check it out in my Instagram story highlights), and we're even planning a big patio refresh to kick off the season! This week I picked up this faux View Post
Happy Friday! How was your week? Ours was cold. The entirety of Austin shut down on Tuesday because of a "winter storm" that ended up being really uneventful, so it was definitely a strange week for us! I got a few things around the house done - we finally put the kitchen cabinets back together (but we're waiting on hardware), and I'm finally about to get started building that entry table that I've been talking about since before Christmas! This weekend we've got Jackson's birthday party View Post
Happy Saturday! Are you as excited for the start of fall as I am? I've been longing for cooler weather and fall decor for weeks now and it's HERE! Picture me dancing around my living room, tossing pumpkins all over the place and wearing a scarf. I'm nothing if not enthusiastic. I gathered a fair amount of fall decor for our house last year, but I've been itching for some more lately. Of course, we aren't really buying anything right now since we're getting ready to sell our house, but I View Post
