This is a sponsored post by Lowe’s Home Improvement. All opinions are 100% my own. All photos are by Emily Bolt Photography. Thanks for all of the love on our Old-house Inspired Dining Room Reveal! The goal of this dining room was to have several functions for our family. First of all, I wanted a beautiful dining room to house all the special occasions, but also our daily dinners. But, I also knew we’d use this space for some of our daily homeschool activities. You may have seen on Instagram that we’re working on a homeschool/playroom combo upstairs. So much of our homeschool is play-based, s ..read more

This is a sponsored post by Lowe’s Home Improvement. All opinions are 100% my own. Since I fell for designing homes, I’ve been dreaming up a dining room. It felt old and filled with character. It had a fireplace, board and batten, and floral wallpaper. It had built-ins. It had special touches that regardless of its’ age made it feel at home in a hundred-year-old house. When we started designing our Burrow, even though it was a brand new house, I had hope that we could make my dining room dreams a reality here. At first, I think Chris was a little skeptical about my vision of bringing in an ol ..read more

This is a sponsored post by Lowe’s Home Improvement. All opinions are 100% my own. Y’all know I love open shelves. We’ve had open shelving in all five kitchens we’ve designed and each time I get the same feedback. Most love them as much as I do, but there’s always a few who say that they’re so pretty, but they just couldn’t sacrifice all of that functional space. You guys, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to! I’m a firm believer that most, if not all, things in our home can be both functional and beautiful. That was my goal for styling these shelves. Obviously, I wanted them to be pre ..read more

This is a sponsored post by Lowe’s Home Improvement. All opinions are 100% my own. Oh happy day, friends! FINALLY, years of dreaming and a full of year of actually building later, this collected, old-world inspired kitchen has become a reality. Before we even begin, I have to give a huge thanks to the team at Lowe’s for making this such a seamless, amazing project. They were so helpful in making this pipe-dream a reality! I also have to thank my friend, Emily Bolt Photography, for these incredible photos. I was dreaming pieces of this space up long before this build started a year ago and it ..read more

This is a sponsored post by Lowe’s Home Improvement. All opinions are 100% my own. Nearly every room I design has a statement-making rug. I fell hard for colorful, patterned rugs early in my design and homemaking journey and a room doesn’t feel complete to me unless it has one. Like flooring, the rug covers one of the largest surfaces in your space. I’ve found that it’s such a great opportunity to bring in a major punch in your space. Need an update in your space? Adding a colorful, patterned rug can immediately change the feel of your entire space! I knew I wanted some statement-making rugs ..read more

This is a sponsored post by Lowe’s Home Improvement. All opinions are 100% my own. If I had to pick one word to describe the main goal of my home, it would be COZY. I’m sure that doesn’t surprise any of you! I love for my home to feel collected, layered, textured, but all in the name of cozy. Ahh, exactly why I love all things home. Renovating, building, designing…they’re all just forms of homemaking to me. That’s what it’s really all about isn’t it, friends? Making a home, a retreat, to welcome us and our loved ones in from the world. One that offers comfort, warmth, and relaxation for thos ..read more

Happy Monday, friends! It’s so fun to start sharing more of our vision for the Burrow as it’s taking shape. If you missed the whole house design plan, check that out here! I always nail it down first with a color palette and design vision and then I start designing rooms. While I don’t have a complete vision for the master bedroom yet, a few things about it were decided as soon as that whole house design plan was complete! I love white walls, as y’all know. But I knew I wanted bits of color in places. And the master bedroom felt like a great place to do that! Read more about th ..read more

This is a sponsored post by Lowe’s. All opinions are 100% my own. Friends, we are FINALLY on to the really exciting part of this build! I’m officially turning that initial design vision into a reality and choosing all the things. And I’m so excited to start sharing how my initial design inspiration is going to translate into different rooms. I wanted to start with my very favorite room in any home, the heart of our house, THE KITCHEN. I’m so honored and excited to get to work with the amazing team at Lowe’s to make this kitchen come to life! After designing three kitchens in pa ..read more

I cannot believe how fast October is flying by! Our Halloween chain is just getting shorter and shorter, the leaves are starting to turn outside finally, and we are soaking up every bit that this season has to offer! I promised a fall tour this year and am so excited to give you guys a glimpse into fall at our stone cottage. This holiday season (for me that’s fall through Christmas) feels so different with the new house we’re working on. But I’m determined to soak up this last fall here in our sweet cottage and enjoy every minute as a family. I kept the lights low and cozy ..read more
