VINTAGE RUG ROUNDUP

I thought it was about time to do another Etsy vintage rug roundup! There truly is nothing like a vintage rug. Their distressing, muted color palette and intricate patterns are my favorite jumping off point for a room design. The good (and affordable) rugs demand quite the hunt, so I linked a few of my recent favorites below. Happy shopping!

Ty and I recently started reading the book, Love or Work by Andre & Jeff Shinabarger, together in hopes to better understand the question written right on the cover of the book: Is it possible to change the world, stay in love and raise a healthy family? The book starts by saying “modern couples want it all” — and it’s true, we do want it all! Hoping that this year we can set better goals for everything we want to achieve and still come out on the other side loving each other and having fun together.

I love a statement mirror, especially in an entryway or smaller space. Adding this one to our dining room has been a game changer! You can’t go wrong with a large, round mirror with a simple frame – it’s timeless, pairs well with any style and softens up all of the straight lines we have in our homes.

I’m pretty sure I could eat pizza multiple times a week. Homemade is one of my favorites – we load ours up with sausage, olives, banana peppers, or whatever leftover vegetables in the fridge that need used up. I like to make a batch of dough and divide it into two pizzas for us and the kids; I use this simple recipe with a few additions to the dough: extra salt, oregano, basil and fresh cracked pepper.

IN MY SHOPPING CART

Madewell is having their annual Secret Stock Sale – the discounts are deep and there are so many great items that would last you from winter into spring. Here are some of the pieces I have in my shopping bag!

Happy Friday, friends!

I rearranged the back patio a bit and I’m loving how it feels. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t take big bucks or an overhaul for something to feel fresh again!

There is a beauty and ease that comes with life by There is a beauty and ease that comes with life by the sea, whether it be on northern or southern shores. Seashells are a quintessential beauty that are worn by living creatures, eventually discarded for us to enjoy or broken down to become one with the earth. They’re a reminder of the beauty of life and how powerful nature can be. And because of that, I think they’re a perfect addition to any room – no matter where you live!

We started planning and renovating this space abou We started planning and renovating this space about two years ago and I have a few takeaways now that we’ve lived with it:
- so glad we fit as much shelving into this space as possible
- storing our microwave in here is 👌
- I toyed with the idea of adding an ice maker in here…kinda wish I would have
- the wallpaper was the best splurge
- removing walls isn’t always the answer (we split a hallway in two to create this space)

You can read all about this project on the blog! Link in bio 🫶
