The Butterfly Room Reveal

March 2, 2021 7 Comments

Some of my fondest memories are of my Mom and me decorating my room. So this collaboration is like a dream come true for me. Usually I come up with an idea and design and the kids just kind of agree and roll with it. However, my beautiful daughter is now a big girl with lots of opinions and great ideas. This room makeover was so fun and turned out so good. Every time I walk into Lillian’s room it looks and feels just like her. It started with her dresser breaking. This was the first dresser we bought after we got married. So that baby has been around for a minute. It has survived countless moves and it just couldn’t make it another day! We went back and forth whether to just replace the dresser or just give her room an upgrade. After some fun brainstorming the butterfly vision came about and it was a no brainer. So now the fun begins… I immediately started researching. I love the process of design! It starts with one item, one “inspiration” piece and then takes off. The finished product is so rewarding. Seeing my daughters face light up with excitement and […]

Getting Your Table Thanksgiving Ready

November 10, 2018 No Comments

This page may contain affiliate links, see full disclosure here. I love the holidays! Especially Thanksgiving. I basically love any time that I can decorate my table. I prefer a traditional setting with beautiful plates, wine glasses and tons of candles. Now I know most do not and frankly find it overwhelming. Especially when you are the host in charge of guests, turkey, pies and NOW you need a fancy table?!! Fear not you don’t! I have created two very simple tablescapes that are sure to wow your guests and keep you underwhelmed and help you get your table Thanksgiving ready! I like to mix my flowers and plants – some fake, some real. You don’t have to go wild and spend a ton of money of fresh flowers. For this first look I used some goodies from my yard. I have a Magnolia tree that I frequently cut leaves from. Makes a perfect filler for your vases, tables and wreaths. And they last a long time even out of water. I also used some Purple Fountain Grass. Again straight from my yard. It adds a perfect fun “fall feel”. Then sprinkled the table with some bright and cheery sunflowers…fake […]

Bathroom, My Home, Reveals

Powder Bath Reveal: Bye Bye Brown Cave

September 4, 2018 No Comments

So I am so excited about this bathroom reveal. It has been one of the most dramatic changes we’ve made in our home. We have been in our home a little over four years. So this makeover has been long coming. When I say the bathroom was dark. I literally mean dark brown…like the whole thing! Not sure what they were going for. Darkness?! Scary?! I don’t think this is what people mean by Monochromatic. We painted the bathroom days after moving in. Not cause I already had this great vision but just so we could see!! We pretty much removed everything from the toilet, vanity, shower walls, floors, and fixtures. Had the pleasure of working with an amazing team from Ribo Home Remodeling. I’ve been told I am very “particular” (not sure I can argue…hehe!) so these guys had their hands full and did a stand up job! My vision for this bathroom came from this stunning cement tile from Cement Tile Shop. It’s a soft gray and off while tile. SO PRETTY!! It’s a small space and the bathroom that all my guests use so I wanted something special for the floors. We painted the walls a soft […]

A Birthday Tradition That Turned Me Into a Collector.

Please note that I’ve linked to these products purely because I recommend them and they are from companies I trust. There is no additional cost to you. I’ve never really been a collector of anything. Until a few years back my sister surprised me with a MacKenzie-Childs Butterfly Garden Enamel Pedestal Platter for my birthday. I LOVED it from the second I saw it! It has a permanent home on my countertop. I fill it with banana bread, cakes, pies, biscuits, or even fruit! To date one of my favorite gifts. So each birthday I am gifted a beautiful new addition…to my new found collection. Unfortunately, the Butterfly Garden Collection was discontinued. Tear. BUT that didn’t stop the tradition from continuing. I have since added the Courtly Check to the mix. And I must say I love it even more! I use this collection a lot when setting my table for a special occasion. For being so specific, it’s actually quite versatile. It really goes with everything. I believe black and white go with EVERYTHING! Classic and never out […]
