My Home

Well, it’s taken long enough (ha!) but we’re finally done updating our modern farmhouse style kitchen! When we moved into this home six years ago, we made a few updates to the kitchen on a seriously tight budget, like DIY concrete countertops [HERE] and chalk paint for a cabinet refresh.

Hey pals! Made a few changes to the Cotton Stem Cottage she shed office this week, and my old lady back is thanking me already!  You see, I’d been using a random console table as my desk and a pretty (but pretty unsupportive) dining room chair as my desk chair sitch.  Needless to say, my […]

Hi, friends! Wanted to officially welcome you “into” our home all dressed up for fall and the Thanksgiving season!  This year, I wanted bright and unexpected fall colors along with a simpler, paired down vibe from last year [HERE].  Our lives have been extra full this season, so I wanted our house to feel, well, […]

Hey friends! Well, we made a bit of progress on the kids’ bathroom refresh this weekend by pulling down the large, unframed mirror over the double sinks.  These huge mirrors in both our bathrooms and their removal have really held me back from updating the spaces, and I’m not sure why.  I guess the thought […]
