I saw a navy kitchen today and it made me want to repaint my bottom cabinets but I don’t think I could ever ever ever ever do that because of how much I LOVE duck egg blue. Anyone have a kitchen they want to let me paint navy? I’ll just live vicariously through your navy kitchen but also live non-vicariously in my real kitchen that I adore. Any takers? Anyone?

When I saw this bird fabric at @moodfabrics , I knew that it was my “spirit fabric”. It’s like a spirit animal, but fabric. 🦁🦊🐼 If I were a pillow, I would be this floral bird pillow. I decided I needed to find Ben’s “spirit fabric” since it’s his bed, too, so I found this green plaid flannel that I knew he would love. Now we have both of our “spirit fabrics” as pillows for our bed, and I’m pretty giddy about it. I’m finishing the last stitches on the second bird pillow, and that will complete this week’s progress for the @oneroomchallenge ! Have you been following along with the other guest and featured designers? My Instagram is full of so many great projects right now! I’ll share a blog post on Wednesday at 10pm with the reveal of these new pillows and the artwork I hung above our bed. After this, it will be time to start on my hand painted mural in the master bedroom sunroom! #prayforme 🎨🛌🖼 If you had a spirit fabric, what would it look like? 🌾 #oneroomchallenge #bhgorc #oneroomchallenge2018 #oneroomchallengefall2018 #homelovenetwork #bhgstylemaker #bhghome #moodfabrics #memade #youdoyoudecor

It’s snowing outside so if anyone needs me I’ll be inside my house until April. ❄️🙅‍♀️🏡

I’m discovering that my style is evolving. Im leaning towards bright and warm, with hints of moody and muted colors and a well placed black accent (like a frame or vanity or accent wall). There are tons of places in our home that don’t reflect this evolving style (hello, granny porch and my giant pink rug), but there are a few that do, and that’s enough for me to see that my home and my style are works in progress. This is a good thing! Your home never has to “arrive” or be “finished”. If properly understood, your home will grow with you and will serve your family- instead of you serving your home by constantly trying to make things perfect. This is one of the corners in our home that seems to reflect where my style is going- a warm, organic, timeless, style with muted color and vintage charm. Our bedroom, this guest room, my office, and the bathroom are all slowly morphing into this more mature style, and I’m happy to take it as slow as it needs to go in order to be wise with resources and be true to my own creativity. I can’t find another person’s style that represents where mine is headed, and that is a good thing. 🌾 Can you sense your style evolving?

Morning essentials: @archetypecoffee in my favorite mug, Ben’s sweater that I bought for him but also (realistically) for myself, and motivation (to write my final paper for my literature class). ☕️🍁📝🌾 I’ll be writing all day until we have a bonfire at our church tonight. What are you up to this Saturday?
