SNEAK PEEK of the breakfast nook progress! Here' SNEAK PEEK of the breakfast nook progress! Here's a fun fact you may not know about me: I am wildly obsessed with commercial design – coffee shops, restaurants, boutique hotels... It is my dream to one day design a local cafe or hotel. Here's me putting that dream out into the universe. Side note: Know a restaurant owner looking to hire a local designer?! Get in touch! In the meantime I'm going to design the Greenfield breakfast nook into the cutest cafe. I cannot wait to spend quiet mornings here with a cup of coffee, before the girls wake up. I'm already imagining mornings with the girls eating breakfast while I unload dishes or the evenings watching them color as I prepare dinner. I'm sure I'll spend many nights here typing away the next blog post after the kiddos have gone to bed. Or better yet: how about lingering evenings in heart-to-heart conversations with friends? Head over to the blog for my full plans for this space + a roundup of all the settees I considered under $500!
Checking off our summertime bucket list one playda Checking off our summertime bucket list one playdate at a time. ☺️ What do YOU still have planned for this summer? I love interior design. I love my job. I love the creative release it gives me. But sometimes it feels like a drug. There is no break…no distinct line between work life and home life…and when I'm not working then I am thinking about working – which is the very opposite of why we set out to do what we do in the first place. Going to start sharing more of our actual life here as a reminder to myself and to anyone else who needs it that YOU decide what your life looks like. YOU decide what your business looks like. YOU decide how you spend your time and what you prioritize. On a less serious note: Polina's facial expressions are my favorite. She is my mini-me. 😅
This week house progress is at a standstill and pa This week house progress is at a standstill and part of me is of course frustrated but another part of me can't help but see the metaphors for life in all of this. What is this frustration trying to teach me? We think the point in life is to eliminate all problems but nothing in life ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know – and even then something else will inevitably come along to teach us an even bigger and more important lesson. Such is life – and we must learn to be at peace with that paradox and resist the urge to eliminate all difficulties from life. Romans 5:3-4 says "tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance – character, and character – hope." There is goodness to be found in difficulties – lessons that bless us and teach us like nothing else can. Whatever frustrations you are facing today – I hope you find comfort in one of my favorite passages in the Bible: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God – which transcends all understanding – will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)
If this kitchen progress photo doesn't make you be If this kitchen progress photo doesn't make you believe in miracles…I don't know what will. 😭 Swipe to see how it looked just a couple short weeks ago. Up next: countertops and the sink and faucet and backsplash and lots of finish work and floating shelves and appliances and lights and hardware and paint touch-ups and furnishings and a rug and oh my! Who wants to guess when we'll be able to finally use the kitchen?!
Our bedside situation is shaping up and I'm loving Our bedside situation is shaping up and I'm loving the results! Found these nightstands for $40 on @facebookmarketplace and I love the texture and visual interest they add to this neutral space. I changed out the hardware for a quick glow-up but check my stories to see how they looked before! In other news: who wants a link to this $34.50 lamp?!

Swipe for the current less-than-thrilling situation. 😑 Projects at the Greenfield Remodel have come to a standstill as we shifted our priorities to other flips. BUT that's about to change! We sat down and planned out how we'll finish the entire reno before summer's end AND I CANNOT FREAKING WAIT. What are you more excited about – the master bathroom or kitchen reno? Or maybe (finally) seeing that black powder room all wrapped up?! 😅 Head to FOXYOXIE.com to read all about the plans for the master bathroom!

Finally chose a new rug for the living room...whic Finally chose a new rug for the living room...which prompted some soul-searching and a series of philosophical questions...just like it does for any sane person – right?! Anyway...I wanted to share some of those thoughts with you. "Let's be cheerful! We have no more right to steal the brightness out of the day for our own family than we have to steal the purse of a stranger. Let us be as careful that our homes are furnished with pleasant and happy thoughts as we are that the rugs are the right color and texture and the furniture comfortable and beautiful." Laura Ingalls Wilder | November 1917 I have no profound thoughts to add other than to say I think about this quote quite often. It's so easy to let the tangible items take precedence while the intangibles are put on autopilot. The reality however is that our attitude has the biggest effect on our home – far more than paint colors or furniture choices or new rugs. 🖤 "Above all else guard your heart. For everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23
