Good morning, y'all! I'm sitting writing, enjoying this rainy, chilly morning. It's currently 53 degrees and "feels like" 49! In September....in TEXAS. I'm in heaven. I've started adding fall decor around the house, and it's feeling very cozy inside. I'll share some of that later, but today I wanted to share the evolution of our dining room. I ... read more

Hello, friends! Yesterday, I shared our summer mantel and told you how I'm loving succulents. I'm really on a plant kick all around, not just succulents. I'm finding that there are some that don't require a TON of work, so I can actually have them in the house and not kill them! When you have plants, you really need somewhere to put them (duh), so ... read more
Summer Mantel
Hey y'all! I thought I'd hop on the blog and share my summer mantel with you. It hasn't changed much since my "Springtime Around the House" post, but I wanted to share it anyway.

Springtime Around the House
It's been a while since I've checked in around here, but I wanted to share a little springtime around the house. It seems like someone around here has been sick for the last month or more.

Happy Thursday, friends! It's one week until Valentine's Day and I'm here to share my Chic Valentine Tablescape in the dining room.
