One of my favorite things to collect? Vintage Christmas ornaments. Over the past few years, I've made it a point to hunt for these on my antique shop adventures and I've started a little collection. Since today is small shop Saturday & local businesses have such a big piece of my heart, I wanted to share one of my favorites with you - The Zoe Bird. Kris owns this adorable Etsy shop that I've purchased from in the past. Her taste and attention to detail constantly blows me away & ...

Vintage Inspired Christmas Open Shelving
Well friends, Christmas decorating is well underway! I finally got around to sprucing up the large hutch in our dining room this past weekend and I'm loving the cheerful vibe. In this space, I wanted to use darker evergreens, wood tones and lots of stoneware! I tried to add bits of greenery sporadically on the shelves to make the hutch tie into the rest of the space (that I'll be sharing soon!). One of my favorite things I added to these shelves this year were these adorable white ...
How to Make Your Christmas Tree Look Taller
I'm all about finding work-arounds when it comes to home decor. Why spend a ton of money when you don't have to? I came up with a little hack this past weekend when I decided to spruce up our bedroom a bit for Christmas. I figured today, I'd share a few tips on how to make your Christmas tree look taller.

Easy Winter Centerpiece
This years' Christmas decor vibe? Simple. I'm really striving to be intentional with the purchases I make and the decor I put into our home. I really want to focus on using/buying pieces I truly love and will be willing to use for years to come. I wanted to create a simple and cozy centerpiece on our coffee table in our living room using a few "leftover" pieces from decorating. I'm loving how this one turned out, friends! Since we upgraded to a larger tree this year, our old cable ...
Family Photo Styling Tips from a Pro
Fun fact: My sister is a photographer. What can I say? The creative gene runs in our blood. Since we're neighbors, she offered to take some family photos for us and to say I'm thankful is an understatement. I'm excited to display them in our home for years to come to remember this season of life. I get emotional when I think about it too much, haha. Honestly, I love having photos of us/loved ones to cherish and look at every day. I particularly love getting them around the holidays. These ...
Artificial Christmas Trees Under $200
I had a slight epiphany this year and realized I wanted to invest in an artificial Christmas tree. In the past, Eli & I have always opted for a real tree. While I love the look (& smell) of a real tree, they've been a bit more of a hassle than I really wanted this year. I was hoping to avoid the clean-up and constant watering with a beautiful faux tree option instead! After browsing the internet, I found lots of options that I wanted to share with you guys in case you're in the ...
