We have been working so hard the last 6-7 weeks on our DIY Duck run....or maybe it was 8 weeks. Either way it took a little longer than expected, but we are so happy to say we can officially share the reveal with you all today. I have a few more details I'd like to add (like always) and I'll be sharing about that today too. Just a little background on ducks, why ducks, and our story behind them first... We originally ordered our ducks from a hatchery in California back in early March. ... Read more

I have been doing a little daydreaming here lately. I truly love getting lost in a new project idea and think of all the special touches that could bring a new space together. I've been sharing a bit about our Shed interior makeover that I have been working on. Its been a storage shed up until now and well, we need it for function and to have another creative space. So the European She-shed design plans have been surfacing. This post contains affiliate links that I make a small commission ... Read more

This is a collaborative post with Serena & Lily When it comes to decorating I love switching things up! I'm all about a great new find and moving things around in the house. It keeps me creatively alive and I also get very bored. I will say though I am very much like that inside the house, the exterior is a different situation. I am all about keeping things classic, especially on the porch. Choosing simple staple items and just changing out some of the flowers for the seasons is the way I ... Read more

Sometimes I feel like I have to have this grand idea for a blog post in order to post. A full room reveal, shopping sources for a new season, a great DIY, or a seasonal tour, but sometimes I forget the simplicty of writing and running my own page is that I can really share my heart, simple moments in the home, and just something inspiring in small ways. That leads me to todays blog post of just adding some sweet lilacs to my kitchen and home. Its a seasonal treasure to see lilacs growing on ... Read more

I hope this post encourages you all, that sometimes its the simple changes that can make the difference. Not every great makeover has to be an entire gut or revamp, but just some new bedding, throw pillows, or great new area rug can make all the difference. I am going to tell you all a little secret, this room was originally designed around this rug I am sharing today, but it was not in the cards at that moment, so I chose another complimenting option...but I am so happy that I never let go of ...

I know what its like to just want to be HOME and I have to say though this year was tough and forced us to stay home more than we would have liked, there is still no where else I would like to be. This is why I share about making home an experience. I truly believe that we can make every moment at home special. So why not embrace home, look our best while home, feel our best, be cozy, have a picnic, cook a great meal, enjoy an afternoon tea, and get our hands out in the garden soil. Here's ... Read more

Creating a true French kitchen with Zellige tiles from Riad Tiles. I have been dreaming about a true un-perfect looking backsplash for so long! You might have been seeing these clay tiles around the design world called zellige, They have that perfectly imperfect look and come in different colors and sizes. I had my eyes on these way back when I was planning my kitchen 3 years ago. I fell in love with how European they felt and since I'm more about texture than color and pattern, they caught ...

Ahh its a little late, but I know how much we will appreciate this fireplace next year! We had planned back a year ago to warm our basement. I'll back track a bit here...when we finished our basement two years ago we had contemplated putting heating downstairs. The problem was what the problem always is lol...budget! We just did not have the extra money to heat the space and well, that was going to be a bit of an issue in the winter, but thank God for space heaters. It was a great solution the ... Read more
