Casual Friday: Shopping Spree, and the Room I'm Missing the Most From Our Previous Home

Yesterday we played a fun game in our Instagram Stories, where we brought our followers on a hypothetical shopping spree. It's the "Would You Rather" of shopping with a set budget and you can't choose both or neither as options. It's pretend money! "Spend" freely! We're bringing it to Casual Friday today so I can […]

Casual Friday: Polly's Wallpaper is here!

I wasn't planning on doing any of the girls rooms this year, because there was so much chaos in the main areas of the house, I really wanted to make sure their rooms stayed clean and organized (even if they did lack personality) until things calmed down everywhere else. But a few weeks ago, I stumbled […]

Casual Friday: Best of September, Including Our New Favorite Kitchen Appliance, and A Game We Can't Stop Talking About

My favorite month of the year has come and gone in a blink. September is the month where we all slide into our school-year routine and the weather begins to shift. So far fall is playing peekaboo and I'm really fine with it. I'd rather fall be a slow trickle than a big wave that […]

Casual Friday: A Peek into the "Pigeon" Painted Living Room!

This week, our living room got a fresh coat of paint!! We wanted to do a full reveal today, but by the time everything got cleaned up, the sun went down, so I just have this tiny peak for you today and we'll share a lot more photos next week!! The color is Pigeon by […]

Casual Friday: Our Fall Front Porch, Faux Pumpkins, LuLaRich & More!

September 15th felt like the perfect day to put cascading pumpkins on the front porch. I was warned by many that pumpkins won't last long on your doorstep in North Carolina. It's a stark contrast to them lasting MONTHS in Idaho, probably because it's like a refrigerator on your porch. So, well, those are all faux and […]

Casual Friday: Our Favorite Fall Boots

Fall is on the cusp, and consequently I'm now sporting boots on the regular. (Yes, already! I can't help myself!) In addition to my favorite Chelsea boot styles, I did a bit of shopping around because I wanted some knee-high boots. For me it's the ripped denim with the loose knee-length boots together. I have […]

Casual Friday: Best of August (And a first look at the wallpapered powder bath!)

The wallpaper went up in the powder bath yesterday and I couldn't love it more! I let out a huge sigh of relief and LOVE after the first panel went up. I had a couple days of panic after I ordered it because it felt a little bold, but where else can you go bold […]

Casual Friday: Setting up the Music Room, the perfect fall sweater, timeless kids' rooms, the best reusable grocery bag, and more!

Every day we discover more things that never made it to us in the move. It’s difficult not having a list of what’s in that sealed storage unit in Idaho that we don’t have access to and with each passing day, we realize that we may never see some things again. This week, when those […]

Casual Friday: The His and Hers closets at the new house, 24 attractive ceiling fans, a new light for our bedroom & more!

My head is spinning with every paint color I want to sample on the walls and I'm just dying to buy something special for a room in this house. You know, a piece that fits perfectly. That's for this house. But I'm learning you can't really do much until you're organized. This week I tried to focus […]

Casual Friday | Dear Diary: 1 month in North Carolina

This week marks 1 month in North Carolina so I thought I would share a journal-type post today sharing how I'm feeling. I’m so happy we’re here and we were able to move into our house just over a week ago. I'm really starting to fall in love with the area and with the arrival of our […]

Casual Friday: Start of the guest house!?

We decided to continue to live in a hotel down the street from our house until our moving truck comes on 7/21 (and the floors are ready for us!). However, my mom just booked a ticket to come see us on July 23rd! So the guest house needs a good scrubbing and we need to […]

Casual Friday: Best of March

March was the busiest month of life and work, I think ever? We made some major decisions and announcements about moving across the country and then all the subsequent projects that came with that. The funny thing is, dozens of times a day I still get asked, "Wait?! You're moving! You guys just finished this […]

Casual Friday: Our Family Grew, Greta's Room, Dining Chairs, The $3 gift I can't stop gifting, 2 favorite skincare picks, and MORE!

I still haven't sent our Christmas cards out--partly, okay mostly, because they haven't arrived yet--and half of our house is currently covered in plastic because the painters showed up YESTERDAY to paint the entry and Faye's room and the hallway and Polly's room and our ceilings, finally. We're still short a shower door and even […]

Casual Friday: A Big Music Room Update, Budget "Vintage" Frames, Failure, Books and More!

If you are subscribed to our Love Letter, then last night you saw a sneak peek at some updates in the music room! Months ago, I ordered two of these boucle chairs for the basement (to sit opposite the sectional) and we got an email about 6 weeks later stating that due to Covid, they […]

This month we shared our favorite fall candles, and shared Andi's budget kitchen makeover, and finally made the list of our favorite house-warming gifts. We gave the family room a dramatic makeover and now we hang out down there ALL the time. We laid peel and stick floor tile, and ogled over our finished stone […]

Casual Friday: Stripping a room to decorate another, my new A+ hair tool, the girls' office, a meme to send to everyone, and more!

I haven't shared the girls' office here since we painted all the trim (check out that post here!) But since then, the wallpaper has been installed, we hung wall sconces, their oversized pinboard that will soon be filled to the brim with their creations (I added this pennant to get them started) and we moved […]

Casual Friday: A dining nook, propertee, burgundy fall shoes, home type by enneagram and more!

Last week I mentioned that in some rooms, I'm getting to the layering phase. Where I hang things, and tweak things, and add textiles and elements that make it feel comfortable and home-like. Our dining room REALLY needs this touch and yesterday, it was fun to take a few minutes to shop our house and […]

Last weekend, we went a couple hours south to the small town of Fish Haven, Idaho right on Bear Lake and spent some time connecting as a family. The Airbnb we rented had access to a private beach and it was peaceful and wonderful to be able to feel like we're on a vacation for […]
