I've been feeling creatively uninspired lately – I've been feeling creatively uninspired lately – and as convenient as it would be to blame the current events or the stage of life that I'm in – I'm discovering that the biggest culprit is a lack of self-discipline. Because nothing kills creativity faster than not following through on our ideas. When we have good ideas but don't act on them we grow increasingly frustrated – which only exacerbates the problem. Give your ideas value by acting on them. Don't wait for inspiration to strike. The very act of bringing your ideas to life will only boost your creativity and serve as the biggest source of inspiration to create more. Have you noticed this pattern in your own life? Side note: All but one of the tchotchkes on my dresser are thrifted! Can you believe it?! Who wants a closer look in stories?
"Mama wants to sit with Mila" she said to me the o "Mama wants to sit with Mila" she said to me the other day when I briefly came into her room to return a toy that had wandered into the living room. I had spent the day and likely many days (weeks?!) before that going about my usual business cooking-cleaning-washing-wiping-folding-sorting-vacuuming-rinsing...you know the drill. Her innocent comment stopped me in my tracks. When was the last time I got down on their level and played with them?! When was the last time I just sat and quietly observed them without needing to reach for that pile of laundry or a lap project or – worse yet – my phone?! It's so easy to get sucked into this high-gear multitasking mode crossing things off our to-do lists like our life depends on it. Believe me – I get it. It's insanely satisfying to start a task and actually finish it. I'm sure any mother can relate. But maybe you are better and maybe you are more intentional and have your priorities in order and maybe you don't need this reminder like I did. But maybe you do. "Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work."
Don't let the idyllic photos fool you. The babies Don't let the idyllic photos fool you. The babies weren't thrilled with the 30-minute drive or the 90-degree weather. One refused to leave mama's hip while the other could only be calmed with videos of ballerinas...but hey I managed to pick seven pounds of blueberries so I'd consider that a success! Now if anyone has ideas for what I can make with seven pounds of blueberries – I am all ears! 🙃
No shame in posting photos of a public bathroom – when said public bathroom looks like this! The lighting..the tile work..the marble stalls..and don't even get me started on the perfect juxtaposition of modern and traditional! Anyone else choose a coffee shop or restaurant based solely on its interior? No? Just me?
If you had $500 to make over one room in your hous If you had $500 to make over one room in your house – which would you choose? I'm deciding between our deck (seen here is our old one – which I really really miss) and our master bedroom (a room that is sadly always last on the list). Both have the potential to become the loveliest at-home oasis – a realization that is not lost on me. But that's a story for a different day. Tell me: Are you team "deck" or "master bedroom?"
When you imagine your dream master bathroom, what When you imagine your dream master bathroom, what is that one thing that is an absolute MUST-HAVE? From a resale standpoint, this master bathroom has it all: a double vanity, a walk-in shower and jetted tub, a separate water closet, a large walk-in closet, vaulted 12-foot ceilings, so much natural light, a view of the mountains… I don't know what else one could possibly want! Check out the #EdgmonRanch (new name!) master bathroom reveal on the blog today and let me know what you think of the transformation!
Fun fact: Jetted tubs make for great toddler enter Fun fact: Jetted tubs make for great toddler entertainment. 😜 This little one was mesmerized for an entire half-hour. Too bad I spent the first 5 minutes taking pictures and the other 25 monitoring that this was about as close as she got to the water. Serious question though: Do you involve your littles in home improvement projects? Or do you put all renovations on hold until they're like 15? I feel like the toddler stage is the most challenging when it comes to taking them along to project sites...they're far too big and too curious to just hang out next to me while I work and too young to actually help (or even be left unsupervised). 😅
Spending the evening editing photos from the maste Spending the evening editing photos from the master bathroom and kitchen tours! Of course had to share a peek with you because it's just SO GOOD – even if I do say so myself! 😆 Which do you want to see first – the master bathroom or the kitchen? Oh and if you have any last-minute questions you want me to address on either of those renovations leave them below!
This is it. Our project house is officially for sa This is it. Our project house is officially for sale! Listed it yesterday morning and already had 7 showings. 🙌🏼 The end of a renovation is always bittersweet for me but I just have to remind myself that the end of one thing is only the beginning of something else. Excited to figure out what that something else will be! In the meantime enjoying all the foraging of the garden while I still can! 🌸🌸🌸 Hope your long weekend is off to a good start! We're taking the boat out for a relaxing day on the river!
Here's a (giant!) sneak peek of the finished kitch Here's a (giant!) sneak peek of the finished kitchen to get you excited for the final reveal! 🙌🏼 Swipe to see how this nook looked before! I shared an entire post on the blog a couple months ago on how we reconfigured the cabinet layout but kept the existing footprint to save $$$. Oh and get ready for a whole lotta before + afters on the blog because this investment property is officially finished and ready to go on the market! Other than room tours – anything else reno-related you'd like to read about?
