Gather 🍁

Having an inviting table doesn’t have to be super fancy . You can take a few things to make a beautiful setting that is practical and inviting.
.
The memories , conversations , plans, school work and sharing of life that happens around a table is immeasurable. It is essentially the hub of a home. A place to gather , cry , work out life and laugh ❤️
.
I do wonder if every grain in the wood of this table could contain all of it. Would the grain lines of the wood be darker when there were years scorched by fire or hardships ,would the grain have lines wider in years being well watered and flourishing in love or have thinner lines in years of drought ? Interesting to think about what it would hold.
.
What ever season you are in , remember it’s just that a season. Take time to enjoy your family or a friend around your table. Invite them to linger and stay a little bit longer. Savor the grain lines that are forming 🍁

Spring Refresh

Feeling inspired to refresh our home with a nautical beach theme for the spring into summer season. These are some of the looks that inspired me plus our recent trip to @seabrookwa . I’ve never been a blue person other then denim but I have a newfound love for navy blue this season⭐️

Spring Refresh

New organizing pieces .. yay!! So excited for these to come!
.
I’m hoping to organize my cookbooks/ magazines with these and to create a more restful, organized space.
.
I have to say, I was hesitant on ordering the baskets but they are AMAZING quality! So happy I ordered them now!
.
I picked up all these pieces from @joann_stores and had them shipped. Our local store was picked over but I easily found everything online and at great prices!
