Over the last few years or so, I’ve definitely s Over the last few years or so, I’ve definitely shifted my focus when it comes to decor. I have moved away from lots of styling and stuff and become a lot more “less is more” mentality. I like picking pieces that really stand out and make the space without having to add a ton of accessories. For example this carpenter’s table is one of my favorite pieces in our home, it’s a conversation piece, something that I truly love and makes a statement. I have definitely been more picky about what I bring into our home and I see that continuing! I’m always on the hunt for something unique! @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome #LTKstyletip

It always amazes me how just a few small changes c It always amazes me how just a few small changes can make such a difference! And those few differences can really take a room to a whole new level! You can swipe to see the differences in this pic! Same room, same angle, I used left over paint to change the wood accent wall to black, switched out the throw pillows and chandelier to ones I already had, and added hung a picture from the other side of the room. That’s it! And it’s a whole new look! I’m sharing more details on the blog today with lots of links!

I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundr I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundry and put it away, the laundry bins are full again... one thing I NEVER feel caught up on! Do you fold each load as you do it? Or wait until you have a huge pile? I probably fold 1-2 times a week, I always put on a show and try and use it as some quiet time... #thisis30s

One of my favorite traditions we started since we’ve “been home”, is our weekly family movie night EVERY Friday night! We order take out from a local restaurant (we rotate who gets to pick the place) and then we cuddle up and watch a new movie none of us have seen. We’ve had to start going back to the archives a bit recently ha! But the kids love it and so do we. Having this space all finished so we can all lounge in here comfortably has been so nice. We haven’t picked a movie for tonight yet, last week we watched Beethoven circa 1992 and our kids were cracking up the whole time!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.
