Vintage art is definitely having it’s spotlight and I have to say I’m loving it! I’m often asked on Instagram where I get vintage-inspired pieces that are different than the typical retail prints you see in Big Box stores. Luckily, online print shops have really grown and expanded their range to include vintage art.

It’s in the details. Or that’s the saying anyways! It’s not a huge secret around here that I preferred remodeling a house over building one. There’s something about lived-in details that always feel cozier than new. Luckily, with the help of a few great vendors you can find hardware that looks as though it was there long before you lived in your home.

I feel as though the title of this post is a bit misleading. Because rolling up your sleeves and building your own house puts you squarely in a save category and not a splurge one. That being said I do feel like there were areas where we allocated our budget more to one side than the other. No matter where you are in the building process (dreaming, saving, framing) you’ll come up against your budget. It’s just the way construction works.

Over the last couple of months I’ve been getting so many questions on how to start a blog.   I love this question because it means there is one more person I can talk blog with, and while the blog world is quite large, I do think anyone can breathe new life into the quickly […]

I’m sure you have seen this post before. Where someone ditches the whole “Goal’s To Achieve in 365 Days” and sticks to one word.  I’ve kinda always rolled my eyes at them – it seemed like a lot of pressure for one word and seemed like an easy cop out of making an actual to […]

Hi lovelies! I feel like I have quite a lot going on right now in life, so I thought I would have a super simple photo based travel post today. These are all photos from my recent Montana adventures, after I made my way through Jackson, Wyoming at the beginning of the month.

And by a day I mean twelve hours.  I was lucky enough to get the chance to finally visit Jackson and the stunning Tetons this past weekend, and I instantly fell in love.  I loved how the town was surrounded by the most gorgeous backdrops and chalked full of good ol’ Wyoming history.

A blog I originally wanted to pinpoint as a beauty, fashion or creative blog, but decided to simply make it a “life” blog. Or a “my life” blog. Why?  O goodness […]
