I am back with some of my favorite things from the week! I was just so inspired this week by all of you. I have a file in my email that is titled "Kind Words" I save all of the nice emails and words you send to me. I just think everyone needs a Kindness Folder. A place to go when you hear something unkind or you are unsure if you are helping anyone. So this week I got a lot of your pictures of your Christmas entries, your garland over your kitchen sink, your wreaths with scarves... just so much goodness. I love seeing others happy with their homes and making the most of them. Anyways! I ... Read More

I partnered with Antique Candle Works and I thought this is the perfect opportunity to share some tips on creating a Very Merry Hygge ... Read More
My Experience with Milk Paint on our Gallery Wall Frames
I had heard of Milk Paint, but just didn't understand what it was and how it was different than Chalk Paint or Mud Paint. Have you heard of it? Well, my friend Miss Mustard Seed has her own line of Milk Paint and I got to try it! We had these large frames I have been wanting to refresh and use up our stairs as a gallery wall with candid family photo's. And I thought these frames would be a good place to start with Milk Paint, the smaller the better for me when trying out a new paint or any project for that matter! I shared my experience with Milk paint on our gallery wall frames. And ... Read More
