“What’s one good thing that happened today?” That’s the one question that is asked everyday in our household. And some days it’s ‘There was cookies at work.’ Other days things it’s much more positive and we can’t stop talking about our favorite moment. But I’ve learned it’s not about fixing the days with contrived good […]

One thing I have not been quiet about is that I really didn’t want to build a new house. I’ve always preferred beautiful – albeit – questionably, old homes. There is something special about those creaky old floors and nooks and crannies, new homes are missing. Still my fiancé was adamant that underneath those creaky […]

Oh how times have changed. I swear I used to blindly run out and buy the newest of trends for whatever new season was approaching. Never once thinking about what is already in my closet or how the new pieces would come together. While I’m sure I still have room for improvement, over the last […]

The most asked question I get anymore is “How is the house going?” And I can hardly blame anyone. Pretty much all my life (and quite frankly Instagram) has been for the past 8 months has been our house. Within a week now we will be prepping to move in meaning the pressure is on […]

I may have just started this series a few months ago, but it’s already a favorite of mine. You can’t solve everything life throws at you, but you can brighten some one’s day by paying for their coffee or holding the door open for them. So that’s what this series is for. No matter where […]

I may be a summer person, but after eight months of winter I don’t think I look forward to Spring styles like I do any other season. I mean truly there are only so many turtlenecks a girl can wear before she questions her own sanity. Still our Springs in Montana can be so moody. […]

If there is one thing in this entire home building and design process that has been an absolute shocker to me, it’s that we choose dark countertops in our kitchen. Well, that and how quickly your budget can disappear. But the dark countertops stick out so much because I’ve always dreamed of having light bright […]

Throughout all the up’s and down’s that have been going on for the past year, I’ve realized just how important the little things are. I’ve discovered it’s the little things that keep your feet on the ground and your heart strong. The big moments in life seem to be just that – BIG. But as large […]

It’s been well over a year since our small green velvet sofa found it’s way into our home. And I have to say… I’ve never loved a second-hand item so much. Couch shopping proved especially difficult for our small apartment seeing how we couldn’t really fit a couch much over 80″ wide. But this velvety […]

Possibly the best advice I’ve been given during our home building process is plan your lighting early. Which feels odd I have to admit. We don’t have floors and I can see through our backdoor through our living room, but I know our lighting plan! Weird, right? Since we are leaning pretty heavily into the […]
