MIDCENTURY IN A NON MIDCENTURY HOUSE
MIDCENTURY IN A NON MIDCENTURY HOUSE Surprising even to myself, I find that I am drawn to midcentury modern (MCM) homes and furniture pieces. I think I love the clean but soft lines and the unfussiness of it all. It is likely good that I don’t currently live in a midcentury home because I would be ALL IN– lol. Nonetheless, my lack of a midcentury house has not stopped me from purchasing a few midcentury-inspired pieces for our 1913 Beach Cabin and 1926 Colonial Home. *DISCLOSURE: This post contains affiliate links/photos, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Also… this is my interpretation of midcentury.…

Why a Sectional & Some Options
If someone had told me that I would purchase four sectionals within a five year time frame, I never would have believed them. But, here we are. Below is a description of our four sectionals and why I love each of them.

New Orleans Inspired Design
New Orleans Inspired Design When traveling to New Orleans, you instantly feel transported to a different place and time. It is rich with history and culture, which translates into some of the most classic design elements. In my opinion, anything that stands the test of a time is a sure thing in the design world. Read on to explore some of these elements, to learn which color wards off evil spirits, and to determine the difference between wrought iron and cast iron.

Art Series: Affordable Photography for the Home
Affordable Photography for the Home I recently got to help a friend choose some artwork for her home. It was so much fun! I even found some for myself- haha! She really wanted to add some affordable photography pieces and I fully supported that.

Colonial Home: Kid Bedrooms
While our primary bedroom and bathroom remain untouched despite the need for updates, our kids’ bedrooms keep getting tweaked. I’ll go into more detail below but thought it might be fun to share some kid bedroom updates that have happened over the past year or so. I’ve also included progress photos as we take a little trip down memory lane. In general, our colonial home changes are a slow burn with adjustments made here and there. Let’s begin our tour.

Happy New Year 2022!
I hope you all had a nice holiday season! The plaid-on-plaid in the dining room may have put me over the edge. There was a fairly quick clear out of Christmas New Year’s weekend. A few winter items remain though. I thought it might be fun to share a quick list of possible New Year 2022 projects and posts with you this week. *This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! January is always a “get organized” sort of month. I bought these glass storage containers last year. I was nervous about the glass being difficult to keep clean,…

Mackinaw Road: November Updates
As happens this time of year, the days are flying by and we are already into December- yikes and yay! Here is what November looked like for us. It included putting up Picture Frame Molding, Thanksgiving and The Day After (with the smartest pie I’ve come across), Christmas Shopping, and Christmas Decorating.

Picture Frame Molding- Another Tidbit One of the biggest activities this month was putting up the picture frame molding in the dining room and painting it white. I love how it turned out and had so much fun…

Powder Room Wallpaper
Good morning! I am so excited to share our Rylee + Cru Powder Room Wallpaper from Lulu & Georgia with you today. Finally! DISCLOSURE: This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Also… I don’t think this is meant to be bathroom wallpaper. I think it maybe even says somewhere that it’s not. But I loved it. And I had my heart set on it going in our powder room, which I decided wasn’t technically a bathroom since it doesn’t have a shower or bath in it.

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…

Summer Beach Cabin Kitchen Shelves
Good morning! With the unofficial start of summer this coming weekend, some fresh summer kitchen shelves at the Beach Cabin were in order. Keep reading for the details of our Summer Beach Cabin Kitchen Shelves. *This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! I posted a poll over on Instagram earlier this spring, and while I can’t find the exact results, I believe that the Beach Cabin kitchen shelves won out over our Colonial Home shelves by just a few percentage points. Maybe we will have to do the kitchen shelves at home soon too. For now though, here…
