Day-to-Night Kitchen Halloween Decorations
Hi there! Over the years, it has been fun to come up with different Autumn Kitchen ideas. This year, I thought it would be fun to try some Day-To Night Halloween Decorations on our kitchen shelves. I came home with a bunch of fun items for this post in collaboration with The Counting House to set up a little Halloween day-to-night situation on our open shelving.

Cabin and Home Updates
Hi there! Just some scattered thoughts and cabin and home updates here before I switch over to relaxation mode with finishing up summer and then scrambling mode as we get back-to-school ready. **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Beach Cabin Vanity I can’t remember if I mentioned previously that we are using my childhood dresser as a vanity at the Beach Cottage. Tearing out the red, orange and yellow contact paper was surprisingly sentimental for me. Anyway, I originally thought- Great! Let’s repurpose the dresser as a vanity and save some money. I’m pretty sure we did…

A Round Up of Outdoor Planters
Hi and Happy Thursday! Michigan spoiled us with warmer temperatures last weekend, which made for beautiful patio entertaining. Spring, summer, and fall on the patio is definitely something to look forward to! Our patio is slowly coming together and I’ve been adding outdoor planters to all of my carts. It is tempting to wait until the patio is perfectly put together with huge blue hydrangeas (fingers crossed) in the background, but it seems like now is the time to purchase outdoor planters (at least that’s what all my promotion emails are telling me- haha!) so keep scrolling for our imperfect patio and a round up of potential outdoor planters. **This…

Updates, LTK, & Sunglasses- Mackinaw Road
Thank you for being here for this truly random post! I’ve included beach cottage updates, birthday plans, compilation boards for shopping, and my favorite sunglasses. *This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Updates We are still deciding on our exterior beach cottage color. I grabbed another sample pot and about 20 additional paint swatches. As I do. We will likely make our decision at the 11th hour, which is very “on brand” for us. The bathroom vanity is coming along. I’m picking up the countertop and sink this week. The wall mount faucet is in and I’m loving…

Tween Girl Bedroom Update
Tween Girl Bedroom Update I think I mentioned a while back that we played musical beds this past winter. Everybody got an update but our daughter’s room was the most work. It was worth it, though! Her tween girl bedroom is coming along so nicely. You can see the “before” of her Vintage Beachy Bedroom here.

Bubble Lights for the Bedroom
Hi! We are getting so close to sharing the winter living room. I am also working on a post about all of the green paint color samples that graced our kitchen on the quest to find the perfect green color for the space. Annnnd… we are playing musical beds! This somehow led to a rabbit hole of an internet search to find the perfect bubble light for our daughter’s room. Read on for our round up of the bubble lights.

Floor Lamp Round Up and Winter Decorating
Continuing with the theme of round ups (you can check out the Table Lamp Round Up here), this week I’m sharing a floor lamp round up. I ordered another plant on a whim (oops!) and also because it is so gray in January in Michigan. Stems and Monday mornings at Trader Joe’s are small pick-me-ups for winter weather. And, while I’m not ready to share the entire living room just yet, I thought I’d share a cute corner complete with old, really old, new, traditional, and modern.
