The master bedroom is getting lots of love today 🙌 The tv is finally getting mounted and picture shelves are being installed as we speak thanks to my Dad. You know you are old when your birthday request is a tv mount, picture shelves and a new door knob 😂 Now I just have to find frames, print pictures and decide on something year round for above the bed..... 🤔 What is hanging above your bed?
All HOMEgirl apparel is 30% off and free shipping 🖤PS there are more colors than black and white for my ladies who want to break out from the neutrals. 📷 @revival.farmhouse
Happy Weekending 🖤 What do you have planned for these three days?
Our hearts day celebration was postponed until this little one is feeling better. It’s a good thing we painted our handmade valentine to Grammy and Grandpa last week. I was also very relieved to drop of the plant to my Mom because keeping it alive for 5 days waiting for Valentine’s day was so stressful 🤣 Anyone else terrible at keeping plants alive???
What are you DREAMING of? Write your list below with your top 5 home dreams and feel free to tag your SO since it is Valentines week 🤞 Here is mine... I dream of Geometric wood feature wall White concrete countertops Painted tile floors Modern bathroom lights Extra deep gray couches . . . 📷 @ark.110
Pretty floral pillows help make snow and cold weather turn to spring 🌸 I mean we have to at least put that out into the universe! Dream, believe, receive isn’t that the saying!? What’s your weather like? I know my Washington friends and family are getting covered in snow.... it’s cold here, for Arizona, I had to turn the heater on and put on some fuzzy socks...actually don’t check the weather report for Peoria AZ you might not like the fact I just said I was cold 😆 PS the would you rather questions in my IG stories are sooo fun go place your votes!
Caffeine + Love • • That’s what today will run on. If you have a little human you may have experienced those nights where they take 2 hours to fall asleep. Wake up an hour later and then again every ten minutes. Then they might ask for toast so you make them the toast but they don’t want to eat it they just want to sleep with the plate in bed and roll in the crumbs. Then they wake up again when you try to move the toast plate and they eat the toast and go back asleep. Then an hour later say around 4:30am they might want to go downstairs and be held in a blanket burrito and watch old reruns of RHOBH until about 5:30am when they agree we can go back to bed. Yeah... fun times. One of us is full of natural energy like we slept all night 😂
Three amazing words sum up every single feeling I have about my weekend plans and to be honest pretty much every day of the week 🤷‍♀️ I just love home! Thank you for this beautiful flatlay from my HOMEgirl Emily @themidkiffhouse 🖤 PS there are some new neutral colors showing up in the HOMEgirl T-shirt options. Also don’t be afraid to ask about colors or custom T-shirt designs!
This is us.... always running late even when wearing this gorgeous watch from Jord! I’m so excited to partner with Jord and offer all of you a chance to win $100 towards any watch of your choice 🙌 Click the link in my bio to enter and please comment below the watch you would choose. Are you loving one of the wood style watches or the Arcadia style like mine? The best part about this watch is it came with a second fancier band (see my IG story) so I can wear it dressy or casual. You can also personalize any of the watches and you all know how much I love custom items!
I knew there was a reason we were friends since pretty much all of you picked my favorite theme for Avri’s 2nd birthday 🐰 I’m working on my inspo boards and plan to find time to share my party planning + decor with you 💕 Our birthday parties are almost always small with just immediate family and some close friends but that doesn’t mean I’m going to hold back on the decor because why not make it extra special!? What is your favorite themed party you’ve planned or attended?
What sparks joy in your life? Mine... the feeling of getting under the covers of a freshly washed bed 😴
Something old, Something pink, Something stacked, Something pretty I think 💕 I pulled out my Nana’s vintage pink pitcher to add a pop of color in the living room. The pink makes Monday a little less depressing 😂
Are you sipping tea + relaxing today, enjoying a boozy brunch, tailgating, hosting a Super Bowl party or just caffeinating? Comment below with your drink of choice today 👇👇👇
My house is going through an identity crisis 🤦‍♀️ I moved decor all over today trying to get things finally hung up that have been gathering dust and adding some V-day vibes to the mantle. Some rooms are farmhouse-y some spaces are more modern. It’s a bit of a mess. I’m also struggling with the anti-nap toddler so I seriously can’t complete one entire task ever. How are your walls doing? 😂
So thankful for Friday’s + couches! 📷 @blessed_ranch
Well, January was a long year 😂 Hello February I’m gonna try to start 2019, again! Taking some time away from IG last month was much needed to just simplify and reduce the stresses of daily life... but not really as we travelled to Washington state for a week, celebrated several birthdays and just wrapped up the month with my school’s art show. February is one of my favorite months due to Valentine’s Day and my birthday AND it’s the month this little dream started 5 years ago. I’m pretty proud it’s still going and somewhat successful despite going through many phases of change in my personal life... changing “real jobs”, having a baby, getting married etc. Trying to live the dream/follow your dream/create your dream is not easy but it’s worth the challenge. Thank you for being with me on the journey 🖤
I was so excited to receive my Martha Manual that I brought it to Seattle to show my Sister in Law.... little did I know how handy it would be! Mr Bow’s dive to save Avri from falling down the stairs made a huge hole in the wall. Never fear when The Martha Manual is near! On page 58 we learned how to repair a wall 👏 This book is so pretty to adorn a shelf or a coffee table but more importantly it is so true to its title “How to do (almost) everything” literally. I’ve linked it in my bio and stories for you. It is going to be the gift to give to new home owners, a graduation gift and the perfect wedding gift.
So excited to share this newbie just added in the Etsy shop 👉link in profile or stories! Loving the freshness and its totally customizable {DUH do I ever give you just one option of course not!} I can stain or paint the wood hoop and you can choose any word you wish for the lettering 🖤🖤🖤 Where would you put this in your home?
Have you watched Tidying Up on Netflix yet!!? It’s a must. I’m obsessed. Even watching people clean out and organize their homes gives me the same good feelings when I do it myself. Find the joy in your home and thank it 🖤
What are your W E E K E N D plans? . . . I am going to be walking around the house doing touch up paint. My other goal is to not start crying (literal baby crying) that I have to go back to school on Monday. I swear our winter breaks as kids were three weeks long. The good news is I stayed up all night on Thursday and finished my 6th grade lesson plans 🤦‍♀️ the anxiety of teaching this age group ceases to amaze me probably because they are unpredictable. Anyways I’m pretty excited to do art journals with them hopefully they like it 🤷‍♀️ At least my Kinders and second graders always love what we do in art class and can clean up a million times better than 12 year olds. ... why?? . . . 📷 @themidkiffhouse #thedottedbow #thedottedbowhomegirl #homebodydesignbook #homebody #homegirl #weekenddiyer #weekendproject #diy #makehomematter #howwedwell #showmeyourstyled #currenthomeview #decorcrushing #simplystyleyourspace #mydomaine #itsadecorthing #lovewhereyoudwell #myhomevibe #decordailydose #styleithappy #myinterior #decorcrushing
