Modern Farmhouse Porch
Super excited to share one of my favorite areas in our home...our Covered Porch!! This place is HIGHLY UTILIZED in the spring, summer, and fall months (thanks to the screened-in factor).....and so I knew when I spotted this SWINGING CHAIR from REVEAL, it would be the perfect addition in an already loved space! Whether it's Chase reading her book, me rocking Calvin, or Roo doing Lord only knows what....it's a hot spot we are V E R Y eager to use once Mother Nature gets her damn act together and warms up
The Playroom Loft
Welcome to the Green Lagoon!! A little area at the top of the mudroom stairs that has quickly become one of the kids' favorite spots! We knew this would be a retreat for the kiddos and would house toys, crafts, and the like and therefore, we wanted to keep the decor budget conservative. With a mixture of Ikea, At Home, and DIY artwork, we were able to transform this little nook into a sweet spot for the critters. It's a happy little space that the baby just loves....and so do I

And here's the good news--WALMART makes gifting these special keepsakes so dang easy!! I literally had all of my in laws' gifts done within...ehhh, 10 mins max.....and even better...all of the photography goodness arrived in THREE DAYS
Pantry Organization Ideas
Look when you're married to a gal whose job is dealing clothes all day errrday, it would make sense that an extra coat closet would be in order, right? But what about when same gal has a major obsession with cooking and all things Trader Joe's, Costco, and the like? A bit of a conundrum wouldn't you say? Well, we made a game time decision to forgo the extra coat closet and turn that little slice into a PANTRY
Bunk Room Ideas
A Bright and Cheery spot for our Bright and Bubbly Gal! We're chatting up Roo's Bunk Room today and how this space makes the entire fam happy....most importantly Roo! With all the decisions we made while designing our home, one was certain....Campbell wanted a Bunk Room
Modern Farmhouse Bathroom
Quite excited to share one of our absolute favorite spaces in our home...the Master Bathroom! We put a T O N of thought and energy into our modern farmhouse master bath as we knew we wanted this to feel like our own private spa if you will...and boy does it!! From our steam shower to the Claw Foot tub we refinished from the original house on our property, it's a place John and I thoroughly enjoy D A I L Y . Probably our FAVORITE component
Ladies Love the Dyson V8 Vacuum
I remember when December hit last year, I knew EXACTLY what I wanted from Johnny. It wasn't a gorgeous piece of jewelry, or some fabulous handbag...oh no no no...it was something W A Y more fabulous. Something I would use every day. Something that would make my life a helluva lot easier. Something I wanted for over a year. And thankfully for me, Santa delivered, because I finally got my brand new Dyson V8 Vacuum from Ebay
Outdoor Movie Night with Hedgehouse
Put this on your summer To Do List.....snag some Throwbeds, a gaggle of kiddos, popcorn, any and every Haribo gummy you can get your mitts on (#cokebottles), blankets, a projector (we rented ours from Ace Party Rental here in town), and do an OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT STAT!! Gang, hands down my favorite night of this summer so far
The Summer Dining
When we were building our home, we knew very early on we wanted a wrap around porch. Since moving into our home, our screened in porch has quickly become one of our favorite spots to hang as a family. We’ve already outfitted the space with a daybed swing and seating area, but we also wanted a space where we could dine al fresco, and do so without breaking the bank. Here’s the deal, gang, I’m gonna let you in on a secret well known fact…….building a house is a costly little undertaking. Last I checked our property didn’t have a money tree on it, which is why I knew this little area was PERFECT for that high low mix. And lucky for us, walmart.com has totally elevated their home game
Beauty and the Lindsay Cowles Bathroom
Coming to you this Mother's Day with a little two for one post. First things first, I hope everyone had a most wonderful day with family and loved ones!! We indeed did...it was very low key which is exactly my speed...tons of quality time with the critters and mom didn't really have to lift a finger #praisehands
The Tween Nest
As I'm teeing up this post, I'm realizing Chase should've totally been today's author. Because no one can convey the love of her new bedroom better than she. If y'all may recall on move in day we only had her Bed from Birch Lane outfitted and well, based on her reaction (read: sheer and utter squeal worthy excitement), she was and still is simply over the moon
The Closet Reveal
Ask our builders, Christopher Scott Homes, when my eyes would light up most during our house meetings and they would all chime in unison....T H E C L O S E T !!! Of course I cared about every aspect of our home, but surely you aren't shocked that a style blogger would be just giddy beyond measure at the idea of a custom built closet
The High Tech Home
Y'all may remember this HOME POST with Loxone where I chatted up my initial hesitations surrounding Home Automation....only to be converted into a Home Automation fan
Lets Get Technical: Home Automation Review
You say the words "Tech" or "Home Automation" and I'm all, "Say Whaaaaaat?" That is, until I married John. Homeboy is T H E king of Home Automation. No, literally the guy would automate ME if he could. If there's a switch, he ain't havin' it
The House Plans
Get ready, gang, because (hopefully) within the next year, we'll have many more HOUSE posts coming your way. As we F I N A L L Y brace ourselves to break ground, I wanted to share some of our preliminary design picks for our Modern Farmhouse
The Artwork
Before we chat up the amazing new prints we received from Minted, let's get y'all up to speed on where we all began with this condo
