FAQ’s: Writing Room & Playroom
We are home from hanging in the room on the gulf coast, and while I wish we were out in the sun, the rain there forced some pretty special couch-cuddling, game-playing, lego-building moments. We hope you and yours had a happy 4th, too! Since December 2009, when I...
Peace in the Home | The Pennington Point
Hey Lovelies! We are still enjoying some R & R (rest & redoing!) at the beach, and I hope to snap some pics today of the work we've done so far. Until then, one of my favorite people in the world is guest posting over here for me today. Say hello again to...
Swimming at Sunset & Freshly Painted Walls
The last few days are a blur, really. Isn't it funny how that happens? You plan and hope and wait for a few days to remain still, and really, they bend and blur together like all the others. So is life, and while it's passing much faster than I'd hoped, we are...
4th of July Sale!
Happy weekend, friends! We're in Florida celebrating the 4th and spending time with my family. It's a little crowded here, but we are enjoying the time together....feeds this mama's soul. While we're here, and you're there (wherever you are!), we wanted you to know...
The Chapel Market
Hello friends! I've got some exciting news to share with you today! When my friend, Layla, from The Lettered Cottage asked if I wanted to join in a fun, vintage-goods-filled market that she and Mary from Urban Farmgirl were hosting, it took a few seconds to make sure...
oversized oysters & beach days
There's a few things I love about being on the coast... Air dried hair, for one. Less makeup than normal. Except for eyeliner. I look dead without eyeliner. Little sundresses & tanks. Bare feet. Oh, I love my wee one's little toes. It's the perfect occasion for...
Guest Bath Update: Marble Tile
Good Monday morning, to you, friends! We spent the weekend at the pool & finishing up a lot of work in the guest bathroom. A few weeks ago, I asked our Instagram friends about tile choices because we loved both so much. After quite a bit of debate, we went with...
Permission to Pass
Ever say "no" to something before? Something good, I mean? Like to cleaning your house like a crazy person for your best friend who's coming into town? Or to the 4th birthday party of the weekend? Or to making the last gourmet dessert out of 20 you made for...
Seagrass Wall Baskets & Imperfect Organization
We are knee deep in projects all around the house. It's funny...remember when I told you about my year of rest from projects? It felt sooo good, to simply live in our home and not work so much on it. Everyone is different, but I've recognized that I must create...
End Table Makeover using a Dry Wash Technique
**We sent this post out last week, but were having some issues, so let us know if you can see this post today!!* Happy Friday, friends....I'm pumped for the weekend so we can finish up (maybe?) our guest bathroom redo. There are so many projects I'm behind on sharing...
Vacation, Inspired
We're the SUV sort. Matt has a Tundra, I like my Sequoia. We both had trucks/suvs in college. P.S. We actually totaled my car (due to my looked-off-the-road-and-we-almost-died-maneuver), and are convinced we were spared between God's hand and the 4Runner. So when the...
How to Remove Tile Floor | Guest Bathroom Update
If you follow us on Facebook & Instagram, you know we've been working on little projects for our guest bathroom redo. I posted an inspiration board forever ago, and we're just now getting to working on that space. While some of the original inspiration stuck,...
the beach house: casual coastal meets hollywood regency
When mom and dad bought their current condo (formerly my grandparents'), we were simply thrilled to have a (FREE!) place to go for quick weekend getaways. I grew up heading to Panama City Beach, so while I sometimes I dream of a house in Watercolor, we are perfectly...
More Furniture Waxing Tips
Happy Monday to you guys! Matt and I spent our weekend purging the garage--and let me tell you something: it was hoarder central in there! We barely made it out of there. Well, a little dramatic, but it. was. bad. Before we show you the scariness that is our garage's...
confessions of a hopeless gardner
Once upon a time, I grew an herb garden. I had more parsley, cilantro, and rosemary to chop than my fingers could handle. Then, after the kids were born, said garden proceeded to die in a blaze of Alabama heat and glory. And so did each and every plant I...
Vintage Market, part 3
Preparing for an event like the Vintage Market took some long hours, and left me with a few gray hairs, but it was totally worth it. We moved furniture, painted a ton, and brought in some really talented people to share their work. I'm going to share more details on...
Vintage Market: Shop Displays
Happy Memorial Day to you, friends! We were lucky enough to bring the kids down to the condo to meet my brother, and we're having a blast. We'll head home today, but I wanted to pop in to share a little store eye candy with you. For our Vintage Market, we literally...
25 Things
1. If exhaustion were a person, I'd be his best friend. 2. I say "he," because he's rough and gruff and not so sensitive. 3. We've been go-go-going for such a long time now that it seems like I only operate on one speed. 4. Back at the beach this weekend to...
Vintage Market: the prep
I've been so ready to share more details of our Vintage Market weekend with you! We literally worked like dogs to get it all ready, and by Wednesday, closed the shop so we could get it all finished. On Thursday, we had vendors begin coming in, and I finally decided...
coastal design inspiration
Good morning, friends! I didn't really mean to disappear last week, but it was actually a happy accident. After the market, which I'll blog about very soon, we were exhausted. I had a lot of resting, cuddling, and reading to catch up on, plus lots of behind the...
