Are you one of those people orā€¦..? Truth be told Are you one of those people orā€¦..? Truth be told I put up our @kingofchristmas trees on HALLOWEENšŸ¤£ Theyā€™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 beautifulšŸ˜­šŸŽ„ When does your Christmas tree go up!? #kingofchristmas #ad #interiordesign #christmas #christmasmagic #christmasdecor #homeinspo #interiorstyling #homesweethome #tallahasseeinteriordesigner #christmastreedecorating

Paramount double oven with an 8 burner gas cooktop in stainless steel and polished gold accentsšŸ˜.. and itā€™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 contractšŸ˜† They werenā€™t wrong to want that stove and we werenā€™t wrong in replacing it with an even bigger, more substantial versionšŸ„° I absolutely love having my pick of EIGHT different burners and find the side-by-side double ovens so convenient!

The same view two years apart šŸ‘‰šŸ» swipe I gotta sa The same view two years apart šŸ‘‰šŸ» 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 Iā€™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 outcomešŸ¤ #KitchenRemodel #HomeDecorInspo #InteriorDesign #KitchenMakeover #BeforeAndAfterHome #DIYHomeProjects #HomeRenovationJourney #FixerUpperStyle #KitchenTransformation #DreamKitchen

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 GeorgešŸ±.. I plop down on the couch during the kidsā€™ rest time and cozy up with the pillows and a blanket - curtains closed with filtered sunlight dancing ināœØ.. 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 Iā€™m doing now)šŸ¤ 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. #livingroomdecor #homedecorinspo #cozyhome #modernfarmhouse #interiordesignideas #decorinspiration #homegoals #neutralhome #diyhomedecor #homeaesthetic #interiorstyling #livingroominspo #beautifulhomes #myhomestyle #decorlovers #tallahasseeinteriordesigner

Last week, I set out on a mission to make the long Last week, I set out on a mission to make the long wall in our butlerā€™s pantry more functional (and pretty). Hereā€™s what I used: - wood corbels from @loweshomeimprovement - wood dowels - 1x6 boards - s hooks from Amazon - and some leftover paint to match the walls Such an easy DIY that made a huge difference!
