NOW Trending: My Top 10 Go-to White Paint Colors
This will be our 6th fall in our house and 6th time decorating my front porch for this festive time of year. It is always a toss up, which direction to go in. Since my…
I have to admit something, I am not a formal table setting kind of girl. As much as I have enjoyed setting some festive tables in my day, I am pretty informal at heart. When…
It’s blueberry pickin’ season here in New England. Last week my girlfrands and I ambled the grounds of Litchfield Hills Blueberry Farm, pluckin’ fresh, fatty bloobs right off the bush whilst savoring the sunshine and…
One of my favorite early–June blooms is garden sage. Her grey-green, fuzzy, oblong leaves and woody stems stand two-feet tall with lavender-colored flowers that the resident bees just loooove. If you fancy yourself an edible garden, sage is a pretty perennial “subshrub” I’d highly recommend.
With sage blooms come all the feels of summer. Independence Day is just around the bend and, girl, you know the gatherings are soon to roll in—picnics, potlucks and barbecues, OH MY!
What shall you bring?! Look no more. This avocado tortellini salad with fresh vegetables and garden sage is as fresh as it is filling and sure to be a crowd pleaser.
It’s a blessing and a curse that a previous homeowner decided to plant mint in our backyard. This very invasive patch is half-near impossible to stave off, but has provided the freshest, most aromatic herbs for many a mojito. Gosh darn, good for sumthin’.
Hi there friends! With summer around the corner I thought I would share some easy decorating tips and ideas to get your home ready for the season. This year I joined in on the fun with the Summer Colors Tour hosted by my friend Jennifer. This is a great time of year to create a casual retreat, a place to put your feet up, smell the flowers and take pleasure in being home again. So I crafted spaces within my home that are conducive for enjoying the simple things in life.
Hi there friends! Today is the second post of the Outdoor Extravaganza series and it’s all about entertaining and decorating. Thank you to our host Shauna for motivating and inspiring all of us as we…
Hi there friends! Guess what?! My patio just got a modern makeover and today I am finally sharing the details! It now feels organic, inviting and functional with a Scandinavian vibe. I partnered with one…
Hi there friends! Last summer I shared the reveal on our modern wood slatted outdoor privacy screen. Since then I have had tons of questions about it, so I thought it was time to share some details on how to build it. The screen is contemporary & open and yet still feels private, which is nice because it allows me to see the boys and dog on the other side of the yard, while still maintaining some layer of seclusion. Plus, it has a clean & simple aesthetic which I think compliments my style.
Hi friends! Leave it to Target to once again raise the bar on affordable and trendy items for the home. Their newest collection, Opalhouse does NOT disappoint. Fair warning, it may have you spellbound, spending way more than you would like on your next few visits. Target is one of those places in general I can get easily sidetracked, especially with home décor but this collection takes it to a whole other level, be aware:)!
Hi there friends! Even though my current view is of our snow covered lawn, outdoor living is on my mind. On my weekly trip to Target the other day I found myself lost in their “outdoor section.” I spent a good 40 minutes there, taking pictures, thinking, measuring. Leave it to Target to once again cloud my mind and leave me wanting a complete outdoor makeover. Whether you are looking for a few modern-rustic additions or for an entirely new look Target has something for everyone. And we all know how good their prices are, especially when you take into account their ability to be right on trend.
Happy fall friends, it’s officially that time of year! To celebrate in true fall spirit we are sharing our porch & backyard reveals with the Seasons of Home blog series! They are stunning and vary…
