This winter I have tried to be super intentional about what we put out for holiday decorations. After all of the recent work on some home projects through quarantine, it has given a great excuse to look at all of the holiday decorations we’ve collected through the years and donate some that no longer fit […]

A time of gratitude and reflection, a time to cozy up inside with the ones you love– and share a meal + each other’s company. This year I was so excited to host my family for Thanksgiving. There is something so magical about the smell of turkey in the oven that morning when you wake […]

We had recently finished painting a pantry door in the kitchen and had leftover black paint. Tricorn Black by Sherwin-Williams to be exact.
