Save this for when your shelves feel ‘off’ 🤍
Layer tall + round + a little life… and let pieces overlap. That sunshine this morning felt like a little shift—we’re finally starting to warm up. I’ve got lots to do in the gardens yet, and I’ll share bits of it as I go.
Today is for work and grandbabies 🤍 so the garden will wait just a little longer. How are your gardens coming along? #cozyhome

Mudroom to kitchen transition has me smiling today

Mudroom to kitchen transition has me smiling today. The change in this home over the last year is remarkable. It’s good to look back and remember where you started. Our homes are our safe space and creating them brings us joy. Panelling is Gloucester sage. On another note I ran out of wallpaper for the hallway but at least I could get more! Hoping to get it finished this week. I hate to say it but I like the new paper more… Funny how things work out like that. cozyhome #moderncottage #collectedhome #homewithcharacter #interiordetails

The house we bought vs the home we’re creating.

The house we bought vs the home we’re creating. A similar view, but such a different feeling.
Not because of square footage.
Not because everything is finished.
Just because the space is being used with more intention, warmth, and heart. Sometimes I need to look back at where we started to really see how far this home has come.
Still more layers to add. Still more story to tell. But it’s getting there. 🤍 #hometransformation

When the house you bought starts feeling like the home you love. Sammie always knew it could be beautiful. Swipe for a little peek at the hall reno… 👀 Save this if you’re collecting hallway ideas. #cozyhome

When we first walked through the door, it was just a house.
Good bones, lots of light… but it didn’t feel like us yet. Room by room we slowly changed it.
New floors, millwork, built-ins, a kitchen that finally works for the way we live. Somewhere along the way, it stopped being
the house we bought
and quietly became
the home we created. It’s still evolving… but that’s part of the story. If you’re slowly turning your house into a home too, save this for a little encouragement. 🤍 #beforeandafterhome

little kitchen corner I’ve been loving lately.

little kitchen corner I’ve been loving lately. Plates within reach, boards we use every day…
and that late afternoon light. Saving this little corner.
