Old World Decor
One of the best parts of travel for Brent and I is how inspiring it is! We both share in the love of seeing the types of design and decor other countries use out of history, necessity and style.
We recently went away for our 19th wedding anniversary and found the experience amazing per usual. I

Luckett’s Haul
I loved sneaking out of my vendor space to go a bit of shopping. I paced myself because I want to be more deliberate in what I bring home. You know how much I love furniture and become OBSESSED with interesting objects, but I think there have been times that I've bordered on being a hoarder. Editing

Plush Pumpkins & more
I love fall so very much.
I do not love fall decor so much though. I think it has to do with the color orange. I am just not a huge fan.
But, I LOVE these plush pumpkins from Waiting on Martha.
I see these around this time of year, but have you seen these great patterns & fabrics?

Greta’s Tutorials
My baby! I probably sound like every other mom whose child finds joy in a similar craft, but it's is so darn fun! I love watching her transform this little piece.
This is the sanding part of the process. You will need your handy 3M block sander, a light sandpaper and a bit of vision.

Morning Loves!
I'm working on redesigning the dining room. It was a bit tired and the chairs were falling apart. I loved them, but after 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 kids and lots of dinners they were sagging. I found them on Overstock and think they were great chairs for over 10 years!
I still love my
