So excited to finally share my all time favorite before and after — it was hard to see the potential but I’m so pumped for the result!

Have you ever tried to shop for coffee table books Have you ever tried to shop for coffee table books, not only by content and not even by cover, but by the spine of the book? It’s not always an easy feat! And if you haven’t, spoiler — they don’t usually display them in the book images when you shop online. If you’re loving contrast these days, here’s a mini black and white spine stack of some of my personal favorites. 🖤 🤍 

Also, there are some exceptions but I typically remove the dust jacket — if you never have, check out what’s going on underneath the glossy paper covering!

➡️ If you’re browsing for your coffee table or book shelf, you can find these via the Amazon store front link in my bio, under the “Coffee Table Books” list 😉

No, you didn’t miss the before and after 😅 TB No, you didn’t miss the before and after 😅 TBH, the BIGGEST reason I went with a dark gray siding paint was for the back of the house vision, against the pool area. We don’t have siding on the front of the house and I didn’t want to get into altering the facade of the brick and stone, but it still made a big difference! Not to mention, it was TIME for our white porch and railings to get a refresh.

I’ll be sharing more house paint details in a comprehensive post soon on the blog 👌🏼

All the decisions I made here — from the loungers to the Sunbrella umbrella canopies and extra weights added to the umbrella bases — were made with the consideration of low maintenance, harsh weather, and sometimes rough Georgia elements. 

Full pool reveal coming SOON!

What’s one “win” from your week? We’ve drug our feet a bit on porch prep this year since we wanted to wait for the completion of some of the big projects (house painting, pool construction)… FINALLY, we were able to reclaim and reset a space. And, I was able to keep my priorities in check and accomplish everything I wanted to in this simple little conversation moment off our bedroom. ❤️

Unpopular Opinion… It’s easier to blame the o Unpopular Opinion…

It’s easier to blame the others, and maybe everyone shares a little of the responsibility. But, maybe, just MAYBE if you’re feeling overwhelmed in your home…

The pets aren’t the reason it can’t stay clean. And the kids toys aren’t the only cause for disarray. 

When I started to minimize but ALSO pressed “pause” on purchases… that’s when I found the contentment, rest, and more easily managed home I’d been desperately seeking.

As a lover of THINGS, I get it. But operating with intentionality and finding a better balance with my relationship with those things has created a momentum in more areas of my life. 

Then again… maybe it’s the kids 😜

Wishing my precious mother — the first “Nan” generation the happiest of Mother’s Days and gratitude for the knowledge and example that it just keeps getting better ❤️ Happy Mother’s Day to all of you — I’ve been on many sides of what can be an emotionally complicated day and today, on this day, I’ve never been more grateful for the gift of our precious girl, Eliza Nan. This was a day I wanted for a long time. Thank you God for making us a family — He knew long before we ever did, just what He had in store ✨
