All the money I save thrifting for home goods I ma All the money I save thrifting for home goods I make sure to spend on really necessary stuff – like brass salt and pepper grinders handmade in Turkey. 😅 It's my way of restoring balance in the universe - OK? As a reminder: I'm on a mission to upgrade all of our utilitarian home goods with stylish alternatives. It makes mundane tasks that much more enjoyable! Last week I shared modern dishes + glassware and today on the blog I've rounded up 15 stylish salt and pepper sets under $25. Whether you're ready to upgrade your own set or looking for a hostess gift – you will love the options I picked out!

Did I just haul six heavy wood chairs from the gar Did I just haul six heavy wood chairs from the garage solely for this quick iPhone snap? You bet I did. Got a whole lot more nonsense where that came from… 😅 I ordered the sheers and another pair of velvet curtains and still looking for the perfect rug – but I'm loving this more traditional direction the dining room is heading. I got a DM the other day how it's amazing I'm able to make so many design decisions every day – and so quickly at that! If my curtains drama is any indication, that observation couldn't be farther from the truth! I am the most indecisive person EVER when it comes to furnishing my own house – and there's a whole lot of trial and error involved in literally every decision I make. So if decorating is taking a long time on your end too – take heart. You're not alone. Now help me decide what fabric to reupholster the chairs in! What do you think would look good given the direction I'm heading? Obviously velvet is outta the question now… • • • • • • #diningroom #diningroomdecor #diningroomdesign #diningroominspo #diningroomgoals #diningroomideas #diningroomtable #diningrooms #gathering #gather #gatherandfeast #thisjaneaustenlife #simplethingsmadebeautiful #imsomartha #lifeunscripted #cldecor #bhghome #mytradhome #rshome #cljsquad #currenthomeview #beckiowensfeature #idcoathome #founditonamazon #myhousebeautiful #showemyourstyled #smmakelifebeautiful #hometakestime #homedetails #homebeautiful

I can't help it – I need everyday home goods to also look pretty.

It is 2PM and I am sitting here drinking my coffee It is 2PM and I am sitting here drinking my coffee with beautiful scenes of autumn right outside the window. I had all these frantic plans of crossing a million things off my to-do list today but Lord have mercy I am so tired of my life being dictated by to-do lists. So I sit here – feeling all the feelings. I've been feeling so many things lately and like I am being pulled in a million directions. But the biggest pull of all is my growing and overwhelming desire for simplicity. In a culture (and a season!) that is bombarding us with 100 messages a minute of "DO THIS!" it is so liberating to learn to say no. Ephesians 5:15-17: "So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise, making the best use of your time because the times are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is." • • • • • #openshelves #homedécor #livingroomdecor #bohohomedecor #howihome #makehomeyours #neutralhome #shelfie #shelfdecor #diyshelf #myhgtv #modernfarmhouse #boholivingroom #myinteriorstyle #shelfdecor #interiordesign #livingroomdesign #styleithappy #homedecor #diydecor #howyouhome #mypinterest #styleathome #smpliving #idcoathome #hyggehomedecor #myhome

We are home and chipping away at the mountain of p We are home and chipping away at the mountain of post-vacation laundry. Seriously – I've converted one of our empty bedrooms into the dirty laundry room – it's that bad. On a more positive note: So many of you agreed that after you go on vacation you resolve to improve your life. One of our resolutions LITERALLY EACH AND EVERY TIME is to host more people in our home. This time will be different – I can feel it! 😅 I'm currently prepping to make lasagna for tomorrow's lunch with friends so we're off to a good start!

Can you believe it's been more than 8 months since Can you believe it's been more than 8 months since we bought the Greystone House – or since my last update for that matter? Talk about a realistic idea of a full-house renovation… 😅 Today on the blog I'm sharing all about the guest bathroom plans: the things that went wrong + some happy accidents + why I'm now looking for a new plumber. 😑 Head to the blog to check that out. But before you go I just have to know…Subway tile: Classic? Overdone? • • • • • #bathrooms #bathroomdesign #bathroomideas #bathroomdecor #bathroom #bathroomremodel #bathroomsofinsta #bathroomreno #bathroomrenovation #bathroommakeover #tile #bathdesign #bathroomfinishes #bathroomflatlay #neutralinteriors #inspiringinteriors #houseenvy #masterbathroom #primarybathroom #myrenostory #doerupper #renovationproject #renovationlife #housetohome #fixerupper #homerenovations #houserenovation #homeremodel #moderntraditional #beforeandafter
Raise your hand if you grew up with scriptures dis Raise your hand if you grew up with scriptures displayed around your house as artwork. I know I did — both in Ukraine and even after we moved to the States every Slavic family I knew had these very specific paintings portraying some picturesque scenery along with a fitting verse from the Bible. I remember as a teenager and well into my 20s thinking how tasteless and "not cool" that was. But life is nothing if not ironic because here I am displaying scriptures as art in my own house and sure my rendition may be a little more modern and reflective of this decade but I finally understand the bigger picture. Here I have 1 Corinthians 13 stenciled on our bedroom mirror and I can tell you of numerous times when the husband and I have been in the middle of a disagreement when I've caught a glimpse of the words "Love is not proud" — or whichever part was most applicable in the moment — and had a quick come-to-Jesus moment before continuing to speak. Decorating with Bible verses helps us to quite literally build our homes around the Word of God. It's a daily visual reminder of the bigger picture beyond our day-to-day life. "Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 11:18-20 What are some other ways we can decorate with scriptures while also maintaining our home's aesthetic? Help me brainstorm more ideas!
