Spring at Home

April 24, 2017

I think it's finally safe to say that spring is in full swing in these parts, and I couldn't be happier about it. We experienced another incredibly mild winter, but these longer days that end with golden sunsets, the smell of rain breezing through the open windows, the sound of chirps and songs and ...

February 20, 2017

I’m sure I say this a few times a year - every year - but this weekend sure did give us the loveliest early taste of spring I think I’ve ever had! It's been in the sixties and sunny for the past several days, with the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets we've seen in weeks. ...

Home Tour: Our Main Bathroom

September 4, 2016

Raise your hand if you know all too well the situation of having a to-do list a mile long but getting the sudden desire to tackle something totally not on that list, or anywhere near being on the list for that matter, instead. Like, some force is just shoving you toward that other, utterly ...

June starting off strong, reminding me how much my June starting off strong, reminding me how much my soul craves a good summer golden hour. ✨

Thanks to my girl @alissa.serres for always making my hair dreams come true! ✨

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
