Inspiration Gallery Link Party 10.8

Hi All! Before I start today’s party, you may have noticed a slight delay in posts around here. I keep meaning to write an official announcement post, but as you may have guessed we welcomed our baby! Last Friday, October 2, I gave birth to a sweet little BOY! I’ve shared a few pics on Instagram and I plan on doing a more official post soon :)

As usual, Feel free to link up any new projects you’ve been working on! If you link up here, you will also be seen on Craftberry Bush,  The Chronicles of Home and Zevy Joy.

Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before an Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before and to see all the details. This has been a major project over the course of the last 7 months, and it has been so exciting to see it all come together. My goal was to create an elegant and timeless look to our staircases, adding character with unique features of the railings, classic neutral runners with gold stair rods to complete the look and a moment for the large luxe chandelier that you can see from the courtyard. And of course a fresh look with smooth creamy walls. 

But I’m not entirely done just yet! Part 2 will be coming in 2026!

Last project of 2025!!!! Kicking off the largest p Last project of 2025!!!! Kicking off the largest project we’ve done in this house that will make the biggest impact. My goal is to always keep character where I can but also give it a fresh look that fits our style. I have a vision and y’all are going to need to trust me on this because I’ve had to trust myself a lot throughout the process. 🤪
