Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Andre, the Enneagram, and a Pink Fridge
Hi and Happy Friday! Welcome to a place where we talk about all of the discoveries of the week. This week we will once again be covering five topics in short form. This week includes mention of the enneagram, a cute llama, turquoise water, a plant that makes me look good, and some delicious lasagna! I’m so excited about the Art category this week. I adore art and would love to have more of it our home. And there are just so many wonderful local artists. So, for this topic, I’d love to introduce some of my favorites/most coveted pieces of art during the Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road…

Cozy Winter Living Room
Hi again! I’m so excited to share our Cozy Winter Living Room with you. As always, I just couldn’t get into the Christmas spirit until after Thanksgiving. The stomach bug struck our house the week before Thanksgiving so that was also a definite conspirator in keeping Christmas at bay until the Friday after. And then there were only 3 weeks until Christmas, so the time has come and gone to share our Christmas decorations. (Although, if you look closely, there are still some decorations that can pull double duty as Christmas and winter decor. Maybe that’s why my decorations bins are always such as disaster… some decorations trickle in every…

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Top 5 List
Hi and Happy Friday! Welcome to a place where we talk about all of the discoveries of the week. This week I’m sharing my Top 5 List. Sort of. A location that is in my Top 5 Places to Visit. Lighting that is in my Top 5 wish-list purchases for the house this year. A dish reminiscent of those childhood Spaghetti-O’s (but much better!) that is in our family’s Top 5 dinner rotations. A book that I read a few years ago but that remains on my Top 5 list. And, finally, the softest pants that are in my Top 5 rotation for winter and spring.

A Simple Salad with Avocado
A Simple Salad that is just that… SIMPLE! It can be made in about five minutes and requires only 8 ingredients, most of which are likely sitting in your kitchen as you read this. This salad is light and compliments almost any dinner but can stand on its own, too.

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Give Me Five
Hi and Happy New Year! It’s been awhile since there has been a Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road. I thought it would be fun to bring it back (albeit a couple of days early given that the days are all confused this holiday season anyway) but with a little twist. Don’t worry, though, it will still be as random as ever. Just a bit more of a structured randomness- haha! I’m going to try to cover five finds every Friday and hopefully it will only take about five minutes of your time. In this five, there should be a little bit of home, travel, art, gifts, and clothes. Sooo…. here…

A Red and Blue Christmas Table and A Christmas Dinner Menu
Happy Holidays! I can’t believe that Christmas is already here. I thought I’d just quickly share our Christmas Dinner Menu & Red and Blue Christmas Table plans. It’s a little traditional, a little coastal, a little Scandinavian-inspired… you get the idea… as usual… just making throwing-in-everything-I’m-drawn-to and creating my made-up style 😉

Modern Traditional Christmas Kitchen
Hello and Happy Holidays! This time of year is always a whirlwind with holiday gatherings, kids’ concerts, school parties, and all of the fun!!! I’m currently trying, trying, trying to keep it simple in our Modern Traditional Christmas Kitchen. Also, admittedly, I ran out of time with my refusal to decorate until after Thanksgiving and the shorter span of weeks between it and Christmas. Sometimes routines are good, sometimes not so much. Oh well!

Elegant Dining Room: How to Add a Chevron Board and Batten Wall
Hi there! Well… we missed a week for the One Room Challenge, so we have a lot to catch up on! As a refresher, Gretchen and I are…well… refreshing her dining room. Because I needed some focus, I dubbed the dining room our Elegant Dining Room Refresh (super creative, I know), and it certainly has lived up to its name! This week, we added a chevron board and batten wall. This is such an easy (Okay, not easy. But also not hard. Definitely time consuming.) and relatively inexpensive way to add elegance. So, here is what we (mostly Gretchen) did.
