The Time I Wrote a Book…and it’s HERE!
Good Lord. Last July, I wrote the post announcing I'd gotten a book deal. It was a crazy humbling time, and I couldn't believe your outpouring and responses…it was only fitting that I teared up you came up in the Thanks section of the book. The book wouldn't have...
Boy’s Room Reveal
I'm pretty sure I thought Matt was CRAZY when he decided to build Gray a fort bed & lay new flooring one week before Christmas. After freaking out for a few minutes (or for several days) about the timing and the mess right before the holidays, I did decide to get...
Glam Decorating Inspiration & Sherwin-Williams Giveaway for You!
When the people at Sherwin-Williams asked if I wanted to work with their new palette, HGTV HOME™ by Sherwin-Williams Softer Side color palette, I began racking my brain to decide which space to makeover/improve/tackle. I've been at a makeover stand-still in our home...
The Beginnings of the Garden
It's that time of year again. I really enjoyed all of our hobby gardening last year, and the kids loved it. The process of watching tiny seedlings come to full bloom is quite fascinating, and I absolutely loved watching the kids learn. Plus, working in the garden...

If you follow us on Instagram, then you know Matt and I boarded a 15 hour flight to South Africa on Wednesday afternoon--after much travel, we made it here and are thrilled to soak it all in. Matt had a work trip (yay, Matt!), so I turned it into a vacation/work trip...
Troy Fest 2014
So Troy Fest has become this exciting arts festival held on the downtown square here in Troy, Alabama. I love it…the vendors, the art, the crowd, the vibe. It's just fun. Something usually starts as the focal point and interest for our displays (this is our third...
Creativity Takes Courage
It was a happy week last week at the shop. We stick to home decor and vintage inspired gifts at our place, so I've never run across a jewelry line I wanted to carry…ever. But, back when we were at the Chapel Market, I knew that one day, I just might reach out to my...
Holiday Weekends
Around here, Easter holidays are slow. They are lazy and the sweet tea is paired with plenty of porch time. We do egg hunts & prayer & ham & egg dyeing. Even when we only have 4 eggs left. #momfail We do bows and photos and sometimes we get haircuts ahead...
Mannequins & Paint Chips
Whew, the last few days have been so much fun. Our Easter was amazing and so Powerful I could hardly stand it. We've been gearing up for our local arts festival this weekend, Troy Fest. It's such a wonderful weekend event, and I cannot wait to stroll around and see...
The Only Story
I was in my freshman year of college, dreading speech class that day. The class wasn't boring or useless, because I recognize the value of speaking well, but it was just blah most days. We spoke about widgets (what's a widget anyway?!), and things that didn't matter...
Kitchen Makeover in the Works
The only time I've shared my kitchen on the blog was waayy back when I was just beginning. Beginning my blog, my journey to create a home that felt like us. It was after I took the doors off of our top cabinets for a quick (and free!) makeover. There is nothing...
Work Smart (& a free printable)
Talking about creative business has been so much fun for me, and I'm still knocking ideas around on how to bring these ideas & classes to you personally. Business is scary, and it is a leap of faith, and some days, it is hard. We took our first Creative...
Budget-friendly Spring Decorating Picks
I have gotten in the habit of looking around on Polyvore lately when I'm pulling inspiration together for a space. Or, let's be honest, when I want to play. As spring approaches, breezy decorating is on my mind. I had fun the other night searching for some...
Southern House with Contemporary Twist
I got a text yesterday from my cousin, Jennifer, that went like this…"wish you'd come over and style my hutch." After laughing out loud (because Jennifer is a talented decorator herself), I told her I'd be by later. The hutch looked great as is, but we just shifted a...
Painting & Room Makeovers
Last week was a blur. We spent the seeking working on a special makeover for Julie. It was a ton of fun, and we were so grateful to work on a space for one of our employees and best friends. We created such a fun space for her (I think!), and had all hands on deck...
In the Shop…
I feel like it's been forever since I shared any pictures of the shop. Sometimes when I'm there, I can't stop snapping pictures, and others, I just can't seem to manage. Last week we got in some Sugarboo--I love these lists and gathered thoughts and little writing...
Free Spring Gingham Printables
In the excitement of the week, I forgot to share our graphic for the fun pennant tags Kaitlyn designed for you... The ones from our spring tablescape... We used them to make these cute place card holders at each place setting, but they could be used for all kinds of...
