Bless This Nest

Guys, this past week I pulled off the best surprise for my husband! Honestly, it just about killed me, but it was worth all of the sweat and HARD work. If anyone is worth working this hard for, it’s him. So, let’s start with why I chose to do this. When we moved into our home 5 years ago, we really never focused on the garage. All of the random things that didn’t find a place in our house ended up in the garage. I also didn’t help matters much with having a booth and decorating business. Everything from that also landed in there. My husband loves working out and playing basketball and really just being outside. The space that should be his was SO unenjoyable. I thought it would be fun to change that. I decided to clean and organize the garage while he was away on a short business trip and surprise him with a space to call his own. He works so hard for our family and never asks for anything. Yes, it was a huge job but the kids, my parents, and I got to work and completely transformed this space for him, and I love how it turned out.

Guys, the great Rae Dunn search is over. Rae Dunn, the nationally acclaimed ceramic artist, is bringing an exclusive collection to Kirkland’s online and in stores on August 17, and I can’t even tell you how happy this makes me! I’m a huge Rae Dunn lover, and apparently so is my entire town. One of my favorite things to do is hunt for Rae Dunn pieces to add to my collection, but I have found that finding pieces is becoming more and more difficult. That’s why I’m so thrilled that the search is over thanks to Kirkland’s. This is a 37-piece home decor collection that will feature not only enamel pieces, but also decorative accessories, lighting, planters, pillows, and frames in the classic black and white style. I can deck out my entire house with Rae Dunn pieces that will only be found at Kirkland’s. Who else is SO excited about this???

Well guys, we finally had some family photos taken of our family of 5 and it only took a year, but who’s counting, right? I just don’t know where time goes. My baby turned ONE this week (tear) and these are literally the first professional photos I have had of him. With my other two, that was a different story. I felt like I was constantly getting their picture taken. I guess this time around I had a major mom fail. I think it’s just harder to find the time these days, but whatever the case was, it’s done. I am just so thankful we finally have some beautiful family photos now that our little family is complete!

Good morning sunshine, and happy Monday!! I am so excited today because I finally get to share with you my master bedroom refresh. I’ve been working so hard on this room turning it into a place that I love. I mean, you should love your bedroom. It should be your sanctuary. A place to escape and just relax, but that was NOT the case for me. My room lacked style and that cozy cottage feeling that I wanted it to have, so I decided it was time for a refresh.

Kirkland’s is having a huge Black Friday sale in….July, and it starts MONDAY! Yes, it’s true, and I can hardly wait to get my shop on. I am a sucker for a deal.

This sale is big, and it’s going on July 9 through July 15 on select art pieces, lamps, mirrors, furniture, clocks, outdoor accessories and more!

Don’t you just love summer decor? I do simply because decorating for summer is simple and so fun! Today, I’m sharing 3 ways to add a touch of summer to your home.

Here are a few ways I added the vintage greenhouse look to my home.

Happy Saturday!! Can you believe we are a little over a week away from the Fourth of July…..what? How is this possible? June has seriously flown by, and I really feel like I have been slacking on getting my home ready for the Fourth. I actually LOVE decorating for this holiday, but I do try to keep it simple. I’m so busy this time of year, so I think having a few key staples around the house make decorating with red, white, and blue super simple. Here are a few easy ways you can get your home looking ready for the big day!

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you all are having a great start to your week! I have so many projects going on around here, and this cubby refresh was high on the list of to-do’s this summer. School is out, and that means it’s time for all of the jackets, backpacks, papers, and lunch boxes to get out of here. This area gets used DAILY, so it’s super important that I stay on top of this space. Don’t be fooled by the refresh. This area is usually always scattered and messy, but I do try to be intentional about cleaning them out and giving them a good refresh at the beginning of each season.

 So, exciting news…..I finally finished my giant DIY clock!! If you watch my stories on Instagram , I’ve been sharing the process with you guys, and I’ve had so much fun doing it. It was actually super easy to make if you have all the right tools. I did not make mine a working clock but rather for decor purposes only. I have been on the lookout for a large antique clock after I spotted this one in Joanna Gaine’s living room a couple years back. See, isn’t it amazing?! I figured I would probably have no such luck finding a gorgeous antique clock like that, so I set my sights on making one. I lucked up and found this huge wood piece (no clue what it actually is) at the Country Living Fair here in Nashville. My final result is not nearly as gorgeous as Joanna’s, but I do love how it turned out. So, let me show you how simple this project really was to make.

 Did you guys catch our nursery reveal ? I still can’t believe that my creepy attic is now our baby’s sweet little nursery. Well, today I’m back with a super easy and inexpensive DIY that came out of this room…..PIPE SHELVES!! I’ve always wanted to make pipe shelves but really never had a reason to. I was also very overwhelmed with the pipe selection at Home Depot and Lowe’s. SO. MANY. PIPES. Not only did I need to figure out which pieces I needed, but I also needed to figure out the sizes. Oh, and did I mention the price? Real pipes are super expensive. UGGGHHHH. This was going to be a lot more complicated than I thought.
