Here are 10 photos of the latest progress at the G Here are 10 photos of the latest progress at the Greystone House…lots of patterned tile floors + gold fixtures + so many beautiful and thought-out details.🖤🤍🖤 Tell me: Do you like patterned tile? Patterned tile is definitely having a moment the past couple of years but it's by no means a trend and has been around for centuries! In fact you can find patterned tiles at the ancient ruins of Pompei – that's the year 79 AD if you're wondering… 🙃 Patterned tile allows you to add a timeless charm in a dramatic way – and it's my favorite tile option for bathroom floors. The key is to balance it out with clean and simple walls. • • • • • #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
When you pretend your house is a set for a French When you pretend your house is a set for a French drama film…which surely justifies an unmade bed at 4PM – right? 😅 The truth is I have fallen behind on several design projects so making the bed is the least of my worries right now. But all that's about to change! I'm excited to announce that I've become a brand ambassador for @thehavenly and will finally be getting some design help! I'll be working 1-on-1 with my own personal designer to help me figure out a space that's been giving me a major headache. Any guesses which room I'm talking about? I've always wanted to see what design services like @thehavenly were all about so follow along as I share more!

I'm amazed how many of you agreed that having the I'm amazed how many of you agreed that having the entire house all clean to yourself is your favorite. Who knew we had so many homebodies here?! Every so often I have this strong desire to spend a couple hours all by myself cleaning and rearranging the house with a cup of coffee in hand…slowly and intentionally tidying up my home. Something so therapeutic about it – wouldn't you agree? Today as I was doing just that I began to wonder why it brought me this much joy only if I could do it in peace and solitude. The answer of course is obvious: When the chaos of everyday life are pulling you in seven different directions the last thing on your mind is to smile while you wash the dishes. But why not? We will do the tidying and the sweeping and the cooking and the folding anyway. Why not do it with a joyful heart and a gracious attitude? Why not slow down and enjoy the process – in the midst of all the chaos? After all the chaos aren't going anywhere…and if I cannot find the bless in the mess I will spend my entire life being miserable. So let this be an encouragement to both you and I to really slow down and seek beauty and joy in the our daily chaos – rather than saving that joy for a special occasion.
From where I drank my coffee this morning 🖤 R From where I drank my coffee this morning 🖤 Right before her 4th birthday M started showing an interest in learning letters and numbers. So I randomly bought her a little workbook at ALDI of all places and she has loved "doing school" most mornings after breakfast – with baby sister's supervision of course. (Lord help us all.) This development of course caused me to really start thinking about all things school – how quickly it's approaching for my little baby and whether I'm really truly capable of homeschooling. We're keeping our "lessons" suuuper unstructured and no-pressure – we're focusing more on the idea of learning rather than actually remembering or regurgitating information. She's 4 after all and the only reason I'm doing anything at all is because she's repeatedly expressed interest. But Lord have mercy – even with these casual lessons I am questioning my sanity in thinking I can actually handle real homeschooling. 😅 Do I have any homeschooling mamas here? Please share some wisdom with this inexperienced mama! What curriculum are you using? Or more importantly: how do you stay sane? 🙃 On a side note: swipe to see this same POV before the renovation. 😳 • • • • • • #jungalowstyle #livethelittlethings #pursuepretty #sodomino #theeverygirl #thatsdarling #bohemia #boholuxe #bohemian #bohohome #bohemianhome #bohemianstyle #bohemianmodern #flashesofdelight #apartmenttherapy #inmydomaine #instagood #interiordesign #LonnyLiving #DesignSponge #MyCovetedHome #BeckiOwensFeature #RueDaily #HomewithRue #ShowEmYourStyled #IHaveThisThingWithRugs #WorntoPerfection #HowYouHome
Remember when our living room looked like this? Ne Remember when our living room looked like this? Neither do I… 😑 Although the messy part of the Greenfield kitchen renovation is mostly finished we have yet to put our living room back together. Ever since getting back from FL we've been nonstop working to finalize and order and pick up ALL THE THINGS for the Greystone House – but like for real this time because work officially started this morning! 🙌🏼 Can you imagine designing and purchasing every single detail that will go in the master bathroom + kids bathroom + basement bathroom + laundry?! Talk about decision fatigue! 😭🙃😴 What would you like to know in regards to this upcoming renovation? What would you like to see more of? Moodboards? My design process? Product roundups?
Home sweet home. 🤍 Ten days is just long enough Home sweet home. 🤍 Ten days is just long enough of a vacation to start missing home and routine. You know what I'm saying? Back to design content – aren't you glad? 😅 We're finishing up several big projects and getting to reveal them soon! Master bathroom + kids bathroom + powder room + kitchen and breakfast nook + dining room + master bedroom + home office…which project are you most excited to see? It's a tossup between the master bathroom and kitchen for me. ✨
I wrote in stories yesterday that I hope our girls I wrote in stories yesterday that I hope our girls have fond memories of their childhood – and I haven't stopped thinking about this thought ever since. At what age do children even begin storing memories? Do bright moments like vacations overshadow the day-to-day life? I sure hope so – because I'm struggling in the day-to-day… Vacations always tend to be a time of deep reflection for me – and this time is no different. We've set a goal for ourselves to brainstorm how we can streamline our business so our day-to-day life doesn't feel so hectic. Because this workload is just not sustainable – especially for me. I personally am of the belief that raising children and being a homemaker is a mother's most important work and right now that part is struggling big time. So if you've ever thought to yourself "How does she have the time for all that?" – now you know: I don't. What about you – do you also spend your vacations asking yourself the big questions? Where does your mind wander when it's no longer occupied with the day-to-day chaos? And since I'm already asking so many questions – here's one more: What's the earliest childhood memory you remember? • • • • • #summerfun #destinbeach #destinflorida #atthebeach #childhoodmemories #beautifulmatters #daysofsimpleandslow #mybeautifulsimplicity #thehappysquares #childhoodwonders #staylittle #seasonschange #slowandseasonal #goadventure #clickpromaster #candidchildhood #allkindsofmagic #yourshotphotographer #thesincerestoryteller #provinciallife #slowandsimpledays #endofsummer #posttheordinary #myseasonalstory #folkandstory #asecondofwhimsy #slowliving #alliseeispretty #dayofsmallthings #livemoremagic
Eight months have flown by since the last time thi Eight months have flown by since the last time this room was in a livable condition. EIGHT MONTHS! That means we've been living mid-renovation for just as long. 😳 Sometimes I get discouraged with our progress – or lack of it. Every day I see dozens of projects that in theory should've already been finished. But they're not and there's still SO much left to do… But then I look back at the before photos and I realize just how far we've come. These photos were taken from the same spot 8 months apart and although this here may not be the most glamorous transformation at the Greenfield Remodel I am nonetheless reminded that small steps lead to big changes. P.S. Don't zoom in – everything is covered with a layer of construction dust. 😜
Wrapping up this week with 10 photos of the latest Wrapping up this week with 10 photos of the latest updates at the Greenfield Remodel ✨ The master bathroom should be finished next week and the kitchen the week after that! Can you even believe it?! Except we're going on vacation next week so it'll have to be when we get back! Many exciting things to look forward to – that's for sure! Have a good weekend friends!
Happy birthday to this magical human being. Foreve Happy birthday to this magical human being. Forever grateful to God for the mercy He has shown in her life. Swipe for the years prior. 🥺🥰
