Do you decorate your kids rooms for Christmas? I do! Are you surprised?? I would have LOVED having a mini Christmas tree in my room with magical twinkle lights as a kid. Wouldn't you? Actually I want it as an adult! I have had the same Christmas tree for Finn for 3 years now, from Home Goods (this tree is kind-of similar). All his ornaments are pretty random, collected over the years. I always start with a garland on any tree I decorate, on his tree I did chunky felt ball garland (I have had that for awhile too). This year I added these felt animals, that Finn was thrilled about! ... Read More

Friday Favorites starts with Design Tips
I have five quick design tips for you today! These are design tips that I live by. Also some very casual pics from the week and some of my favorite things. I talked about this over on my Instagram the other day, I had someone say on FB a comment about my family room. Now I don't share this to have you say "poor Brooke". It really wasn't like that. Another blogger had shared my family room over on her FB page (thank you!) and the comment was... "That room would look so much better with a bigger cocktail table." (You can shop my entire front room HERE) I agree with the design tip- ... Read More
Book Club- How To Start Your Own
I was a loyal member of a book club in Utah with a big group of friends for about four years. I met new friends and became closer to old friends, I loved that book club. When I moved to Connecticut I brought up the idea of starting a book club to four friends and they all told me they do not read or they were already in a group. So I dropped the idea.

Frame TV Christmas Art (free!) with Picture Lights and Top Christmas Movies (with graphic)
Remember how we moved our piano into the family room? We had a console there that I did like, it just felt to small for that area. I asked Kevin to help me to move our piano to that space instead (easy right?!). And we both knew it was the right move. This is our family room that is connected to our kitchen, so it just made sense to have the piano in our main space. And bonus we have all been practicing more! See how the TV looks with FREE art downloads for you!!! See how it fills the space better? I also knew the piano would be used so much more, which means we need a light above the ... Read More
