Helping you create a home you love through DIY home improvement, decor and design services. Let's work together! Day-to-day in stories.

Save this for reference later!🤍 These 4 elements Save this for reference later!🤍

These 4 elements are key to creating a cozy living space:

1. Soft rug.. you want the feel beneath your feet to be soft and inviting. Look for a rug with the “Cloud Pile” designation — you’ll thank me later! 

2. Curtains.. more than color, you want the focus of your window coverings to bring in texture and interest to the room. They should ultimately round out a space without encroaching or making it feel heavy.

3. Throws.. every sitting space should have at least one pillow and a blanket! This makes each chair/sofa/etc. 10x more inviting.

4. Table lamps.. in my humble opinion, a home cannot function on overhead lighting alone. Table lamps are so important for creating warmth and an invitational environment.

What would you add for creating a cozy space??

Current dilemma..🤔 Downsize to a queen, or keep o Current dilemma..🤔

Downsize to a queen, or keep our king bed?

I love to sprawl out when I sleep but I love the way a queen bed looks vs. the wide king surface (bedding always looks better in my opinion). Theres also the fact that it would give us more space in our room and that G has been on team queen for a whiiiile now (he likes to snuggle😆). 

What are your thoughts?!

Are you one of those people or…..? Truth be told Are you one of those people or…..?

Truth be told I put up our @kingofchristmas trees on HALLOWEEN🤣 They’re just too pretty to go one day of the holiday season without enjoying them!

Our two trees are both the Rushmore Fir - the one in our living room is 7.5 and the one in our sunroom is the 9 ft. Both are prelit and so beautiful😭🎄 #gifted

When does your Christmas tree go up!?

Save this post for reference later✨ Comment RANGE Save this post for reference later✨ Comment RANGE for a direct link to my stove!

This is the @zlinekitchen Autograph Edition 48 in. Paramount double oven with an 8 burner gas cooktop in stainless steel and polished gold accents😍.. and it’s quite literally the range of my dreams! #ad 

Fun fact: this is actually our second ZLINE stove - the first was a 36 in. range which the new buyers of our previous house insisted we leave behind as part of their contract😆 They weren’t wrong to want that stove and we weren’t wrong in replacing it with an even bigger, more substantial version🥰 

I absolutely love having my pick of EIGHT different burners and find the side-by-side double ovens so convenient! Let me know if you have any questions about our gas range in the comments below🤍

The same view two years apart 👉🏻 swipe I gotta sa The same view two years apart 👉🏻 swipe

I gotta say.. I look around this kitchen every single day and am amazed that it all worked out the way that it did! We saw this house via FaceTime and then once in person before putting in an offer and I could only cross my fingers that I’d be able to make the changes I wanted to in layout and design. 

To me, the biggest difference was being able to move the stove out of the island and onto a wall that would become the focal point of the whole downstairs.

It took some creativity and a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears, but I cant imagine a better outcome🤍

My happy place - our living room. I read my Bibl My happy place - our living room. 

I read my Bible at the coffee table while slowly sipping hot coffee and stroking our Turkish Angora named George🐱.. 

I plop down on the couch during the kids’ rest time and cozy up with the pillows and a blanket - curtains closed with filtered sunlight dancing in✨.. 

Then, the armchair on the left is my favorite place to sit and make my evening post while sipping a glass of bubbly and watching a show with G (aka, what I’m doing now)🤍 

This is the room where so much happens.. life, love, rest, play, fellowship, games, wrestle matches and more. It was the room I was most worried about turning into something I loved before we moved in.. but boy was I wrong to doubt it.

I can’t begin to tell you how happy it makes me to walk through our home and not feel that nagging, cloying feeling like something needs to be changed, cleaned or fixed. It’s been almost two years since we moved here from Atlanta and I’m just feeling so grateful for this town, this home and this life😭💛 Okay, sap post over. Happy Friday, y’all!
