Hello and happy Friday my friends! I have some very exciting news to share with you all, so be sure to read this post in it's entirety.  I am going to keep you in suspense until you get to the bottom of this page! So let's talk about all the fun and exciting things I found this week. I just bought 2 of these shams for our bed. I felt them in the store and they are literally the coziest softest things. I can't wait for them to arrive! I just bought this piece for a client and cannot wait until it comes in! Her home is very traditional but we are trying to update it with more ..read more

Our hardworking coffee station got a little update! Can you tell what it is?  After years of making lattes on our trusty espresso machine, this Nespresso coffee maker came out and I never looked back. Combined with the milk brother, this is by far the easiest and quickest way to make a latter, or a cup of coffee.  So, out went the espresso machine and in moved the Nespresso. The crock holds all my espresso and coffee pods, and the canisters hold instant coffee, tea, and sugar packets. You can get the DIY for the canisters I made here.  I love having the stackable mugs ..read more

Happy Tuesday! I have a super fun project for you today that will really make an impact in your home decor. This DIY large serving board idea came to me while browsing the aisles at Home Depot one day. I saw this 2' diameter wood round and it clicked that it would make the best tray/serving board. My inspiration came from this piece which I own and love. So then the trick was to make this brand new wood round look old. I broke out as many different tools as I could find and got going beating it up.  My tip to you would be this- you cannot overdue this step. Distress it by ma ..read more

Seriously, it's the softest thing ever! While you are there, shop the sale and clearance section for some really great deals! Just purchased this new silverware and it is so great. Very rustic chic. Love the textur ..read more

 I am calling this post, home decor dupes, but really, these items are identical. Only the prices aren't. I have scoured the web to find some of my favorite items, only cheaper, just for you!

The first up is one of my favorite vases. {Click on the bold type to take you to the product page.} I paid full price for mine, but now that I see it cheaper elsewhere, I will be getting the other color! This is the color I have. Expensive vs. inexpensive. Same vase!  Next up is one of ..read more

Yikes, so anyway, sorry this is a little late, but hopefully you can enjoy it all weekend! Just bought these corduroy overalls for fall.

Great airtight pitcher to store and serve drinks from. I am gathering all my Fall decor up so when it is time, I can decorate to my hearts content. I am loving this color for thi ..read more
