Geoffrey Wood Feather Art

Acquiring art for my home is one of the things I’ve just recently developed a real passion for. I’ve found I have a taste for more original art prints and have started learning about artists that I like. Sure, I still find the occasional print from Hobby Lobby or Home Goods, but I’ve also been on the lookout for artists that fit my taste, and I’ve enjoyed the custom pieces I’ve bought from local artists. For Christmas, I received two pieces from Geoffrey Wood, and I am so happy with them. Take a look.

I Made a Table

You read that right. I made a table. I recently noticed I had a need for a beverage table on the side of my sofa. The way our furniture has to be positioned in our apartment allows room for only one side table between the sofa and the recliner, but I find myself sitting on the side without the table. Whether it be coffee, a Yeti full of water, or a cocktail, I need a place to put it. So I up and made one.

Seven on a Saturday- Fall/Halloween Doormat Ideas

Seven on a Saturday- The Most Influential Home Decor Accounts I Follow

Happy Saturday, friends! I don’t know about you, but when someone tells me I need to follow someone on Instagram or follow their blog, I immediately take a deep dive into their account and/or their latest blog posts to see if I, in fact, would like to follow them. My wheels have really been turning in the home decor sphere of my brain, and these seven accounts are always providing the inspiration, advice, and some pretty great eye candy that I need to keep the creativity flowing. While each of these accounts deal heavily in home decor, home improvement, diy, and all other things home, some dive into fashion and lifestyle as well. This is helpful to me since those are my two most favorite fields of interest while scrolling the gram and seem to overlap in my own life. Meaning my wardrobe and my home aesthetic often resemble each other (black and white color palette, anyone?). Each photo is linked to their site or blog with a separate link in the caption for their Instagram where I highly suggest you go and hit follow.

Seven on a Saturday- Kitchen Rug Ideas

Happy Saturday, y’all! I’ve been living with the same kitchen rugs since I lived in Louisiana, and I’m ready for some new ones! These worked fine when I had my blue curtains, but now that I have the black and white buffalo check shades, I think the blue rugs needs to go. I’ve been perusing the interwebs looking for some inspiration. I think I’ve settled on a few styles that seem to suit the look I’m hoping to achieve, but I’m still looking for that “champagne taste” rug that will fit into my “beer budget”. Take a look at what I’ve rounded up today. Each photo is linked to it’s source.

Seven on a Saturday- Headboard Ideas

Happy, happy Saturday! I’m officially two weeks into the school year, and whew, is it catching up to me. I am one tired teacher. I’m happy to be able to enjoy this weekend, though.
One of the toughest areas for me to get a set-in-stone design plan for is the master bedroom. Paul and I share common ideas about our room, but his are sometimes more on the practical side whereas I like to have practicality mixed with pretty. One thing we have both agreed on is our bed. We chose a cream colored, tufted headboard with clean lines while we were living in Louisiana, and we have been very pleased with it. Though we’re not in the market for a new one, I still look at them from time to time and dream of the next one when we finally make the switch to a king size bed. I’ve put together a list of seven headboard ideas for you to peruse with your Saturday morning coffee. Each photo is linked for your convenience.

Seven on a Saturday- How To: Leopard Home Decor

Happy Saturday my friends! I made it a whole week back at work. I always forget how tired I am during this time of the school year. Gracious! However, I’ve got one of my favorite things to talk about today- leopard print! Clearly, I’m a fan and, truthfully, always have been. It can be easy to take leopard to a tacky place, so I’m showing you seven ways to do it tastefully. Some are wild and some are tame, some are the traditional neutral colors while others are bright and bold. Every photo is linked to its source for your convenience.

Seven on a Saturday- Clever Doormat Ideas

Hello and happy Saturday, friends! My summer is officially over, and that means my mind is on overdrive thinking of all the other things I wish I had time to do. Like purchase a new doormat and some plants for the entrance of my apartment to make it that much happier of a place to come home to after getting back to the real world. I’m basically crying just writing those words. I don’t want summer to end! Mostly because it’s insanely too hot to start school right now but also because I’d just be a darling housewife. 🙂

Seven on a Saturday- Bathroom Inspiration

Happy Saturday, friends! Do you remember when I gave our guest bathroom a little refresher? And then I decided to share a before of our master bath? Well, I haven’t done anything else to it; it looks exactly the same. I hit mental roadblocks when it come to home decor sometimes.
