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.

It’s a little crazy to think that our big Kauai trip was only a couple of weeks ago. We packed so much into our week in Kauai, we honestly needed about four days to fully recover. (It didn’t help that we flew back on a red eye and were hit with daylight savings all at […]

H o l y c o w. March was one for the books! From Kauai to our remodel and now I’m in Texas for a Bachelorette party, this month was hands down my busiest. And honestly April doesn’t look like it will be slowing down much, so I wanted to get back into writing the […]

It probably doesn’t surprise you by now that a lot of our travels surrounds food. We might love adventures, but my guy and I think they are best capitalized by a plate of fresh food. So we were quick to map out all of the Kauai restaurants that we knew we had to try. Though […]

It might sound a bit silly, but it really only took me one viewing of ‘Blood Diamond’ and a few google searches to decide that pearls were going to be this girl’s best friend. So much so, that I always said that down the road I wanted a pearl engagement ring. I had such a […]

Hiii. Ok. This post is a bit late, I know. But January was a little bit crazy and I had a big announcement I had shared this weekend on Instagram. (Spoiler: I’m accepted a new job as a Content Marketing Manager.) Needless to say this January has been… surprising. My goal was to get back […]

If I could have any job title it would either be “Cheese Board Designer” or “Airbnb Extraordinaire.” I fully embraced the idea of Airbnb when it first emerged on the scene and ever since I’m happy to say my lists have tripled and my knowledge of idyllic spaces has grown. So if you are like […]

For last minute gifts I feel like we are always trying to balance that elusive line of personal and easy. So much so, that I always forget there’s another option: personal, easy, and meaningful. One of my favorite ways to shop this year was with companies that help empower other communities across the globe. They […]

This year I tried to make a habit of shopping local. I, of course, haven’t given up on the convenience of Amazon or a few other online stores I’m partial to, but I’ve definitely made it a goal to look at local stores first rather than open up a new browser immediately. And luckily we […]

If you have been around here for a bit this probably isn’t the first time you’ve heard me mention a tech free corner. I actually created one in my old house and have been itching to get a space created in my new home in Montana. The space takes a little bit to get used […]
