No house is complete without an American flag. That’s what Robert always says. I love the ol’ red, white, and blue, but my husband… he takes it to a whole new level. When we’re trucking along on the interstate, he’ll “ooh” and “ahh” over those giant car dealership American flags billowing in the wind. If aRead more

Bud Vase Candle Holder Centerpiece and Christmas Tablescape
Can we get real for a sec? When you have a four year-old, candlelit dinners don’t happen on the regular. Most nights, our style can be called shove-the-dried-up-magic-markers-and-leftover-breakfast-bowls-from-the-table-so-we-can-eat-spaghetti-leftovers kind of decor. Glamorous, I tell ya. But when the candlelight does happen? Ohhh it’s magical. I love having people over for dinner where I can dressRead more
Green and Copper Thanksgiving Tablescape + Printable
My grandmother is the notorious “saver” in our family. I wouldn’t call it “hoarding” because there’s an art to it. And I’m pretty sure she passed down her saving tendencies to me over the years. Every dish, every candle holder, every scrap of fabric that could possibly serve a purpose one day would get tuckedRead more
Easter Brunch Tablescape
A big thank you to World Market for sponsoring this post. Last week, after a long slump with the wintery grays, the birds started singing, the trees started turning just slightly pink, and the sun finally came out to play… and I got the itch. You know the one? Where you’re ready to cleanRead more
Simple Rustic Winter Tablescape
It’s official! Snowpocalypse 2016 has struck! And here in South Carolina, that means enough to make a footprint in the snow. Ha! It’s the little things in life, right? But this past weekend, it was enough for Olivia and Lola to get excited…and okay, honestly, Robert and I acted like little kids in it too.Read more
6 Beautiful Thanksgiving Tablescape Ideas + BWT #6
Hi friends! I’m not sure how closely y’all follow this little blog of mine, but if it isn’t painfully obvious already, I’ve slacked off a bit on the blog/social media scene this week while I’m hustling all over our house to prepare for several upcoming Christmas tours. This is the first year I’ve everRead more

Muted Fall Tablescape
When I was in middle school, I had to take an etiquette class. I kid you not. My teacher set a table with linens and goblets and a gajillion different types of silverware, and we were tested on our table manners. We had to eat a meal while keeping our elbows off the table, keepRead more
Thrifty $30 Spring to Summer Tablescape
With our wedding anniversary being this week, and my birthday and Mother’s Day just around the corner, I had a moment of “Hey, I’m going to treat myself” in the grocery store the other day. I mean come on…I should give myself flowers for living with Robert for 4 years. (TOTALLY kidding! Actually, that should beRead more
Dollar Store Thanksgiving Tablescape
Just in case you hadn’t noticed…I’m a tweaker. That’s not to be confused with a twerker. Miley Cyrus pretty much owns that title. And that’s definitely not a good look for me anyway. No, I tweak. As in I study decor, and I research the cheapest way to achieve it. And then in theRead more
Simple Autumn Tea Towel Art
Happy Monday, friends! I haven’t said it in a while, but thank you so much for stopping in to this little blog of mine. It truly means so much to me to read all of your comments and sweet messages each day. Even though I’ve been running around like a crazy person trying to balanceRead more
Why I Refuse To Put Farmhouse Decor In My Home
Hear me out. Because I know that title is very, “Well, aren’t we up on our high horse today?” Haha! Can I tell you that I adore rustic farmhouse decor down to the very last cotton stem? Can we still be friends now? Okay. Whew! I was worried. If you’ve been following this little ol’ blog ofRead more
Apothecary Jar Terrarium Easter Centerpiece
I cheated. I photographed this post’s Easter centerpiece all the way back in February. Just laying the straight up truth out there and not even going to pretend like this table decor was not pre-meditated. 😉 Every so often, I join up with a crazy talented group of home decor blogger friends for the StyledRead more
The Best Resource to Hire Out Custom Art + Watercolor Portrait
A big thanks to Minted for supplying gorgeous artwork for this post. Affiliate links are provided for convenience. 23 years ago, first grader me wanted to be an artist. I’d climb up in my mom’s lap at the kitchen table and ask her to show me how to draw a tree, how to draw a puppy,Read more
The Top 7 Bless’er House Project Blunders
The other night, I got to thinking about some of my bloopers and blunders on this blog. Like… the early years. The wee beginnings when this blog had braces, acne, goggle glasses, and a bad perm. When I was sort of tripping over my own feet because I hadn’t quite grown into them yet. ThenRead more
Breakfast Tray Makeover and Valentine’s Date Q&A Printable
Maybe I’m not one of the cool kids, but we’re not much of entertainers at our house for Valentine’s. And Leslie Knopp has me epically beat on throwing Galentine’s Day parties. (You know that reference, right?) Instead, we’re the low-key V-Day entertainers, the let’s-just-wear-pajamas-all-day-drinking-coffee kind of people. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. SoRead more
Winter Foyer Decorating Ideas
This post was written in collaboration with Kirkland’s. Can we get all pinky-up fancy for this post? And can we agree that the word “foyer” when pronounced “foy-yay” is way spiffier than just plain ol’ “entryway”? Yes?! Okay, good. Because our “foy-yay” just got spiffed up for winter. While I was shopping the post-holiday salesRead more
3 Year Blogiversary Before and After Home Tour
This post has been a long time coming. 3 years to be exact. Because our entire house is FINISHED! I mean… mostly. (Is a house ever really totally finished?) We still have our laundry room, possibly a little flooring, and a few small spaces to go, but I was so excited to dust off ourRead more
