Pillow Talk
Last week I shared a few of my tried and true tips to freshen up your home- simple tweaks that can make the space feel like new without breaking the bank.
Then, a few days later, I took a trip to Home Goods and remembered another favorite way to spruce up a room- throw pillows.
I fell in love with these three beauties on this last trip. They were on super sale and were just what our bedroom needed to brighten up our bed and give it a much-needed, fresh look.
One of the best things about all white sheets- besides how crips and calming they can be- is that the feel of the bedroom can be instantly transformed with just a few throw pillows and blankets. These three additions were under $100 altogether, meaning I won’t be too heartbroken when a dog chews a tassel, or I want to swap them out for another color in a few months- both of which tend to happen often.
Below I’ve linked some of my favorite online pillow picks for all budgets- some of which are currently on sale!!
And if you’re near a Home Goods, I always recommend popping in from time to time to see what they have in stock. It can be hit or miss; but when they’re good, they’re good.

Ok, friends. Here it is. The room I so desperately wanted to wallpaper against Phil’s wishes.
In the end, I gave in; and we opted for a glossy light yellow over the floral prints I was so drawn to. And I have to say, I think he was right.
It’s officially fall and it’s almost starting to feel like it down here in Charleston. The mornings are crisp, with a slight bite in the air, but the temperatures still inch their way up by the end of the day. Alas, I embrace those bundled up moments in the early hours, and I’ve started to bring out a bit of fall decor here and there.
It’s here folks: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
And I’m not sure about you, but I’ve been looking forward to it since early March. In fact, if you follow along on Instagram you might recall we had not one, but two {much needed} impromptu “Christmas” celebrations earlier this year to lift our spirits during quarantine. Nothing like a little fir tree, red and green garland, matching family PJs and a Christmas puzzle to put a smile on your face.
Valentine’s Day is in just a few weeks, so to celebrate I teamed up with some of my favorite local entrepreneurs to create a little Valentine’s brunch tablescape to get us in the spirit.
As always, I looked to Winston Flowers for the florals- I love how all the different pops of pink came together, and how the designers created a romantic feel with these whimsical stems.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas- meaning entertaining and holiday parties are in full swing. For the last few years we’ve celebrated the season with dinner and drinks on the town with some of our best friends- a tradition we’ve affectionately named “Friendsmas.”
Happy Friday, kids!
This week was a short one for us- or at least I made it that way. Phil was off on Monday, and for the third year in a row I accidentally kept MM home, thinking she was off too. I would blame it on all the moving parts around here these days; but, if I’m being honest, I’m pretty sure I would have kept her home had I remembered. There’s really nothing better than these rare days when we can be together just us four , and I would feel weird sending her to school while Dad gets the day off to play.

Every now and then I get the bug to update the feel of our home- to freshen up the space and bring new energy into our well-loved rooms.
Thankfully, for our wallets, this rarely requires a major overhaul like swapping out furniture. Instead, I’ve found there are a few simple, inexpensive tweaks that can easily update our space- and most of them are free- woohoo.
Madeline's room has transformed a few times over the last two and a half years.
If you recall, it started as a neutral nursery {here} and I vowed never to include too much pink or frill. Famous last words. And I'm sure glad I had a change of heart, because in hindsight, that little grey room looks sort of sad.
Well, friends, it’s been about a year and a half, but the blog is back.
If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you already know it’s been an unexpected few years. But we’ve settled in, and are loving life in our Charleston home.
