Hi friends, been a while since I’ve shared a home update with you! I took the summer off from social media to fully focus on the boys, and it was such a wonderful break. I’m really excited to get back into sharing mode this fall, starting with a living room refresh – and the sofa I have eyed for YEARS! Ps. Use code LIVVY20 for 20% off your Interior Define order, valid until October 12, 2023!  We are absolutely not the family to have a white sofa. It simply just cannot work with two big dogs and two awesome buck wild boys who spill jello while karate jumping from one end of the couch ..read more

Something I have learned when it comes to renovating is that small victories can make a BIG difference in the total experience. What I mean is, when everything seem to be going wrong, having one thing go smoothly can really lift you up. In our case, this kitchen renovation was beating us down until it came to ordering countertops. Simply working with the right people – good people with quality products – made ALL the difference! If you’re searching for countertops in Austin (or surrounding areas), I highly recommend AAA Countertops. They were a total dream to work with and we LOVE our countert ..read more

Hello and welcome to our dining room! There are many favorite parts of our kitchen, but this spot is high on the list. From the light oak against the checkered marble floors, to the gallery wall filled with art we’ve collected from friends, family and travels around the globe and a view of giant oak trees through an oversized picture frame window…as with everything in this kitchen, every inch was obsessed over and thought out. I think it turned out better than I could have ever imagined! If you read my kitchen reveal post, you know I always envisioned a round table at the hea ..read more

Quickly following up my kitchen reveal post with a list of products we used to make it all come to life! When planning this remodel, I used countless blog posts as resources and was SO grateful for those ladies who took the time share…and in turn, make my life easier when it came to selecting products (because if you’re renovating, you KNOW is an absolutely agonizing experience haha…SO. MANY. OPTIONS!). Let me know if I missed anything and I am happy to share in the comments. 1. Checkered Marble: As mentioned in my kitchen reveal post, I don’t want to share this source because it was a huge ..read more

Ohh goodness, where do I even begin with sharing our kitchen reveal? If you’re a longtime follower, you know that this renovation has been happening behind the scenes for more than two years. Blood, sweat, tears – so many tears, haha! When Blake and I bought this house in 2020, we knew it was a project. It wasn’t a “one tour and we knew” sort of thing. It was a “we will have a newborn and a toddler and a house that needs every inch redone” type of thing. I remember after touring the house for the third time (yes, third) and we were standing on the back patio (amidst nearly an acre of bushes an ..read more

There’s just something about a new season of life that makes you want to change things up. Now that we have Jude, I see the functionality of our house differently. Can our sofa withstand a couple of kiddos? Is that rug soft enough for crawling? Will our blinds survive Watson freaking out when the postman rings the doorbell? (Spoiler: we’re on our third set of blinds…). I’ve loved our current living room setup, but when I dream up living room furniture that will stick around as our family continues to grow, a sectional sofa and more durable chairs come to mind. Within the last 10 months, we add ..read more

It’s been a while since I’ve done any type of home decor post, but I’m excited to start incorporating more home content on LL! Given that my job is pretty much to find items I love and share them with y’all so you can enjoy them, too, I’m especially excited to share some awesome finds from Urban Outfitters! I feel like more than ever before, UO has upped their home goods game (umm…that stunning cabinet, swoon!) and I find myself constantly going back to check their new arrivals. I want our house to ..read more

“I’m not a regular mom, I’m a plant mom…” Today’s post is all about how we care for our plant babies! Anyone else get a ton of joy out of a space filled with house plants? There’s just something instantly calm and relaxing about them. Not to mention when you nurture a plant for years (years!), there’s going to be some sort of proud attachment, ha. (There’s the plant mama in me coming out!). When Blake and I moved into our house three years ago, we went a little plant crazy. Though some were lost along the way (RIP), I’ve finally learned how to care for these finicky little fel ..read more

Ohh my heart! …Bursting with all of the emotions as I write this post. This nursery has been a slow and steady project filled with thoughtful pieces from family and friends. Every corner has items with meaning or memories associated…from hand sewn blankets to books from Blake’s childhood and beautiful artwork created with our little guy in mind, this space is a true sanctuary in our house and provides so much joy already! I am 38 weeks today and lately it feels like we are just twiddling our thumbs over here, patiently awaiting his arrival. Until then, I’ll rock in that cozy glider a ..read more
