YOU GUYS! IT’S HAPPENING! If you’ve been around for a while you know how long I’ve been patiently waiting to tackle this fireplace. After moving in with my FIL I had to be sensitive to his home and his things. While he let me do SO much to the house already, this was one room he was holding onto. I gently nudged him along the way but let him tell me when he was ready to move forward. And here we are! I have so much respect for this man. He lays tile for a living and worked all day and then came home and covered the black granite tile he installed himself over 20 years ago. He was ready to move on and I’m so grateful he’s willing to help me with my projects. Living with an in-law has its challenges but it works for us...for now 🤣 thank you for sharing your excitement with me on this project - go check out all the behind the scenes on my stories! .

Every time I start a new project I feel all the emotions. Mainly excited but also nervous and scared that it won’t turn out the way I want it to. Which can lead to design paralysis where I can’t make any decisions at all! But if I let those negative emotions be stronger than the positive ones I won’t get anywhere. Yes it can be scary, especially sharing it all on here, but what I’ve learned that helps me through a project from beginning to end is to just START and to follow my gut. I LOVE bouncing ideas off you guys and learning from you, but doing what feels right to me and to our home is when the good stuff happens. Mistakes and all. I’m making some final decisions on the fireplace project this week and I cannot WAIT to get started. (Go weigh in on stories!) .
P.S our laundry room was my first ever full room Reno and I felt like I had absolutely no idea what I was doing but I just went for it and I’d say it turned out pretty good 😛 don’t let your fear of failure get in the way of starting a project 👊🏻 you’ll learn as you go and come out stronger on the other side 💙

I’m feeling the urge to get my hands dirty and work on something! Do you ever get that feeling to? 😛 Eloise’s room was the last big space we tackled and I’m so ready to move onto the playroom! As hands on as my job is, there’s a lot of time spent behind the scenes at the computer too. But I can only sit for so long 😂 even though we’re still finalizing decisions on the fireplace (check out stories for a vote!) that doesn’t mean I can’t get up and DO something. Yesterday I spent some time updating small projects around the house. They’ve been on my to do list forever and I finally decided to just get them done. Of course the bigger projects are more fun and rewarding, but don’t forget to celebrate the smaller ones too. They’re just as important as anything else 💙 what small project needs fixing or updating in your home that you’ve neglected? Get up and get it done! 👊🏻😘

#sponsored Do you have a designated play room for your kiddos? Our kids are allowed everywhere in our home, but I love that we also have a layout that allows us to create a space that's just for them too. I'm almost done planning out the design for their room and trying to mesh all my pretty ideas with the kid-friendly ones. And since it's also connected to the kitchen, we've already done some child-proofing that helps me feel safe letting the kids play in here by themselves. So I don't worry or feel guilty when I take some time to get ready by myself in the morning 😉 @travelersinsurance has a site called Home Central that is a great resource for all your home buying and renovating needs, but also maintaining and keeping your family safe. I'm sharing some of the ways we've child-proofed our home in stories today + even more ideas and a super informative article from Travelers.

Just dropped Eloise off at school and she was crying and clinging to my leg. She started the year so great and now the past week or so she’s been saying she doesn’t want to go. It’s so hard to leave her like that but once I do she’s usually fine within a few minutes. It never gets easier and I know it’s just a phase she’ll get through but walking away from your kid when they’re crying is HARD. Anyone else going through this right now?

You guys didn’t think I could only put this beautiful grass in one room did you? It’s large and in charge here and it may hit me in the face when I walk by but just look at how gorgeous it is here! ✨✨✨ when that morning light streams in I can’t take my eyes off it. So far it hasn’t fluffed up and shed it’s seeds yet so I’m thinking the drying process is off to a great start and I’ll be able to keep it foreverrrrr 😛 enjoying my family being in town this weekend and the perk of sleeping in while my parents get the kiddos up 🙌🏻 what’s your weekend look like? Hope it’s a good one! 💙

I get asked all the time if the top of our vanity gets damaged by the water and the answer is no! It already had a pretty thick lacquer on it so I left it as is and it’s held up great 🙌🏻 however, the bottom drawer handle recently broke right off and I’m on the hunt to find an exact replica which isn’t going very well 😩 It’s also time to fill that hanging planter in the background again since my last plant died. I think I’m giving in and going faux 😂 just some real life tid bits for you today - HAPPY FRIDAY! .

My little mantle refresh sparked another refresh in our bedroom of this vignette on our dresser. It was feeling stale to me lately but I wasn’t feeling inspired to change it. Then yesterday I was in that mood when nothing is safe 🤣 so I tweaked a few things here and it feels so much better to me! I’m also debating taking down the cow print and creating a little gallery wall with the art prints I got in nyc. Think I should try it? Be patient with your home. Don’t force something if you aren’t feeling it - wait for that moment of inspiration, wherever it may come from, and run with it. 💙
