It’s February—dreary, wintry February. All I can think about is summer: vacation, planting a garden…any thoughts of green or warmth just make me want to burst! So, I thought to cheer things up I’d share about my sister’s sweet baby shower that my mom and I hosted a few months back. The theme: you are my sunshine, my only sunshine!
An adorable addition to my style series is coming up today! Let’s talk about how to create a cottage style look in your home. My aunt has recently moved and while we were brainstorming some ideas on how to create this look in her home, I decided to share some of my ideas with you. The cottage style is very diverse. It’s actually quite similar to the shabby chic style. But there are certain elements that carry through no matter what direction you choose to go.
I know, I know, it’s been done a million times! But despite the amount of pins on my Pinterest boards, I rarely end up successfully completing a project. Today I’m going to share my experience and success with whitewashing my fireplace! I’m beyond thrilled with the results and am considering ‘blackwashing’ my basement fireplace this year. I’m not convinced that blackwashing is a thing yet, but after I give it a try, maybe it will be! [Update: I found out it’s a thing, and you should check out my tutorial on how to blackwash your brick fireplace!]
Alright, it’s confession time…
I haven’t been posting about what’s going on with me because, well, I’ve been so busy! Today is going to be like one of those days that you call an old friend and catch up on everything. I swear we’ll keep in touch better—we say it every time. So, let’s get to catching up!
The Christmas tree drops needles every time someone breathes, and the presents are piled up under the tree…still. You love Christmas decorations, but it’s probably time for them to go. STOP RIGHT THERE! I’m going to show you how easy your winter decorating can be this year. So, put down the forsythia wreath and back away slowly—it’s not spring yet!
