Hi! I've got a good one coming for ya... Some people believe that shiplap is the equivalent to the lovely 1970's wood paneling and that it'll eventually go out of style just like paneling did. Maybe they're right. I don't really care though. I love the simple charm it adds to a home and of course, I can't go without mentioning the farmhouse vibes! Shiplap was originally used to construct barns, sheds, etc. so naturally it radiates farmhouse. As for why it's so popular... We can all thank Chip ...
Fall Front Porch
Oh happy day! Fall is officially here! To kick off the season, Stephen and I picked up quite a few mums from Walmart (they're only $1 for the small ones and $4 for the larger ones!) and about 5 pumpkins from Trader Joe's. We were really impressed with the prices at both locations so we figured hey! Let's get this house decked out for FALL! I had such a fun time decorating our front porch that I figured I'd share it with you all and hopefully provide some inspiration for your own home. I ...
Before Buying More Fall Decor, Read This – Simple Fall Mantle
Hi! I wanted to stop in here today and share some of the fall décor I've put up in the house so far but mainly, I want talk about my thought process behind decorating for this time of year. This is the first year I've really been able to decorate my own home (last year I only put out a few things because we were moving and the year before that I was a bachelorette living in Kentucky with Tupperware bins for a TV stand) and share that process which means I haven't been on here for long enough or ...
Guest Bedroom Sign
Hi! Let's just get right into this! Last week I asked you all what to do over our guest bed. I worked with Carpenter Farmhouse to have this beautiful sign made and wanted to show it off over our new shiplap wall. Most people picked option 1 which was the @cottonstem hoop wreaths with the words underneath it sign horizontally. But only a few less people suggested option 4 which was to stack the words and frame it with a garland. Ultimately, we decided on option 4 with a little twist! I was ...
The Painted Door Chronicles: Whipped Mint Front Door
Happy Tuesday! After we completed our board and batten in the foyer, I thought it would be cute to paint the front door to provide a little bit of contrast in the space. Don't get me wrong, I love white but I craved some color in order to make the board and batten pop a bit more. See what I mean? Stephen agreed that a different color door would look good in there so one Sunday after church we stood in front of the blue-ish tones in the paint aisle at Home Depot for about 30 minutes before ...

HAPPY FRIDAY! I can't tell you guys how happy I am that it's finally here.
