    The way things are going, seeing so much inspiration, already, I’ll need the extra time to make more holiday decos. Hubs is already shaking his head. Since I haven’t been able to sell any of our creations he says why bother, just more “stuff” to store. I have to make things, it’s the holidays. What would I do with myself otherwise? Can’t just sit around not doing anything all season. Won’t be getting decorations out for inside house but will be making things I’ve seen already. Oh what fun isn’t it? Love it.
    Hows’ new baby boy? Are you getting any sleep?
    Happy week

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space. 

Comment SHOP for everything I added in here!

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!

3. Primary Bedroom and attached seating area 
4. Formal Living Room 
5. Cozy Reading Nook in Hallway 
6. Finish the Staircases

The biggest project we’ve done yet! I still have The biggest project we’ve done yet! I still have two more projects left to do in here to add some more warmth and texture, but the changes made so far are 🙌🏻. Classic, elegant, timeless and feels so fresh.

Replaced railings with custom ones
New carpet runners
Installed Gold Stair Rods 
Swapped out the chandelier for a statement piece 
Had the walls skim coated to level 5 finish and painted!
