I have a wonderful client who I have worked with for over 10 years. The first project I did for her was her second home in St. George Utah. This home was in need of a refresh after 10 years. I was just there this past weekend with family, she is always so generous to let us stay there. I added some finishing touches to her home office and the rest of the home. Below is an inspiration picture I used and to show her that we could keep her black computer cabinet in the room. She was thrilled she didn't have to paint it! Proof that there are other ways to lighten a room other than painting ... Read More
Outdoor Patio and Living Space with Hanging Chair
I recently worked with one of my best friends to update her outdoor patio. This friend is one of the BEST hosts, she always is the first to open her doors to have friends and herds of kids over. Not only does she welcome everyone in she is also the most relaxed when hosting, I want to be like her. I was thrilled to help her expand her living space outdoors. This outdoor space will be used and loved more than any outdoor space I know. And lucky me I get to enjoy it too when I come in town. First this is what the outdoor space looked like BEFORE... They have a really nice deck and ... Read More
Smoothie for Kids that will keep them CALM
I have struggled with the right smoothie for my kids. Until recently, so naturally I had to share my secret with you! I am not a nutritionist or a professional, but I do have actual kids that tell me and show me what they need. I personally don't think kids should be consuming protein powders that adults take. My friend Sarah has been a big influence on me for the right smoothie for kids and also a BIG added bonus it can help to keep your kids calm and add major health benefits to their little growing bodies. This smoothie recipe has been the solution to Sarah's son's anxiety and has changed ... Read More
Take Home Designer Series- White Kitchen and Great Room
Remember this series I started about month ago? I work my way into a home and show you some of my favorite things! I will give you a refresh of the series- It kind of reminded me of a show I used to love to watch "Take Home Chef" with the cutie pie Curtis Stone. My favorite part of that show was peeking inside homes! Especially the kitchen's, because kitchen are my favorite. Today I am taking you inside a friends home, who is also a client. I have been in Utah for the past two weeks, so I stopped by her home and took some pictures to share with you! Josie and her husband built their home in ... Read More
10 Smore Ideas with Healthy Alternatives
We are in Utah visiting family and friends for a couple of weeks. It has been so much fun- such a nice break and really gives me a boost to be around people I love so much. The other night my sister suggested a S'more Girls Night in her gorgeous backyard. I took her idea and turned it into a S'more Off! All our friends had to bring a unique S'more idea to the party. The only rule was that they had to bring something that could be roasted over the fire (no hot dogs). Of course we picked a winner and there was a prize. You are going to be surprised at the winning "S'more" because it actually ... Read More
Jute Rug Review in Our Living Room
One question I have gotten a lot of questions on is if we like our Jute Rug and how it is holding up. So I thought I would share my two cents about Jute Rugs and ours! We have had our Jute Rug for about 4 months now. I have to admit I was a little nervous about ordering a Jute Rug. Jute Rugs get a bad rap for shedding, smelling and being scratchy, so you kind of run the risk of hating it. If you do your research you could get a rug that you love and that goes with anything you put with it. Oh and for a fraction of the price of your average rug. If you remember this room before I had ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with the Front Door
We are in full-blown summer fun over here. My girls got out of school (finally) last week and we have been going non-stop. I still have been able to fit in blogging, one of my favorite things. It has helped to schedule activities later in the day so I can get some work done and my girls can do reading and math. I pulled together my favorite things from the week. The first is a different idea for your front door instead of a wreath. You might remember what I put on my front door from THIS post. I did a basket on our front door instead of a wreath and this has been my favorite thing I ... Read More
Summer Home Decor- 2017 Master Bedroom and Summer Bucket List
Hello! Welcome to the rest of our summer home tour. I am excited to be joining with Nina Hendrick and an amazing group of bloggers to share the simple changes we have made to our homes for summer. I shared last week our front room, girls bedroom and kitchen. I really try to be intentional with everything we bring into our home. I am a questioner and question the purpose and meaning....yes, even for our home decor. My style evolves and what I like changes too. But one thing that is pretty consistent is the feeling. Our home is a collected home. Home decor that we have found along the way and it ... Read More
I love you like Biscuits and Gravy- Paleo Recipe too!
"I love you like Biscuits and Gravy" I wanted to do a special blog post for Father's Day. Kevin has created a tradition of making biscuits and gravy for our kids. He makes them whenever he has a day off, so it could be Sunday or middle of the week. The girls know their dad is off because they can smell the biscuits baking in the oven. I have interfered before and asked him to create a paleo friendly version. I thought I would shared that here and his amazing original recipe. Because I have to say he #nailedit. I typically don't eat his version of biscuits and gravy, I just have one tiny ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with Target Home Decor
Hello! Happy Friday friends. I took a little trip to Target, I can't remember exactly why I went (isn't that always the case?) It was a fun trip, I know you are nodding your head in agreement that Target IS fun:) I did find some new home decor favorites, Target is always good for that. I picked up THIS cream and black basket, THIS cute face planter pot and was so excited to find THESE wood bead garland. I also picked up THIS new floor mirror. I will show you where all of this ended up in our home next week! Lola and I were trying to play a game of Trouble and it was just that, ... Read More
