Home Tour: Our Mudroom

July 22, 2016

The floors and doors of our little mudroom have gotten quite the use over the past few weeks. I’m constantly moving to and fro, from house to yard, working on various projects and so, I’ve come to know this small space of our home all too well. ...

10 Great Eco-Friendly Household Cleaners

July 1, 2016

Jeremy and I have spent the better portion of June trading off being sick. A head cold here, allergies there, bronchitis, fevers, sneezes, you name it, we’re over it. I’m ready to start off July on a lighter, healthier note and so I’ve spent the day doing some deep, deep cleaning to run off any ...

Home Tour: Our “Half” Bathroom

May 2, 2016

When Jeremy and I first started looking at new places to rent (we never thought we’d end up owning our next rental a year after moving in!), we had a short list of wants. These included a fenced-in yard, a basement, a dishwasher, plenty of natural light, and a front porch. ...

Earth Day: 5 Ways We’re Living Eco-Friendly

April 22, 2016

In honor of Earth Day, I wanted to share a few of the ways that we’ve been trying to lessen our ecological footprint over the past few years. While we’re by no means in a place where I feel like we’re making a huge difference, and realize we could be doing so much more, I’m a strong believer in ...

How to Freshen Up Your Tarnished Faux Gold Jewelry

March 31, 2016

Confession: I’ve not yet grown out of my “fast-fashion” habit. I hope to one day be inspired enough to purge my closet, and start over with the mindset of buying less (and buying only the best quality of clothing and accessories), living out of a “time capsule” wardrobe, mixing and matching just a ...

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. ✨

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. 🤍
