🍂🏠 Weekly progress pic! This week, lighting and tile started to go in! I’m loving the modern carriage lights we chose for the exterior. We went back and forth on size and I’m so glad we ended going bigger. It looks perfect against the scale of the house. We are in Texas after all!

Happy Friday Friends!!! In addition to Halloween, we’re celebrating another holiday in our house this week - our pup Roman’s first birthday! 🐶 I baked him his very own pupcake, which was a huge hit. Here’s the recipe, which is easy and doggie approved! www.crazyforcrust.com/easy-homemade-dog-cake/

Sharing one of my favorite spaces in our current home - our powder bath! We reno’ed this space after we moved in and I just love the headboard trim, sea salt walls, and antique finish on the hardware. 🛁

One silver lining from COVID has been my husband and I eating more meals at the dining room table. When we’re tired, it’s so easy to just plop down in front of the TV. Saving that little bit of extra commute time makes such a difference! I love having a real conversation and taking time to connect over a meal. Tonight was leftover chili in our casa! What’s your go-to weeknight meal? .

Weekly house update! Brick is finished and paint is in progress. I am in LOVE with the kitchen cabinet colors - especially the gorgeous light gray island. Which room is your favorite so far?

Wow, fall hit hard today! It was approaching 90 a few days ago and today is in the 50s. Not complaining! Excited to hopefully have a crisp, fall-feeling Halloween. Hope you ladies are having a wonderful weekend!

🎃💀Today we got to view our countertop slabs!! I am in love with the beautiful dolomites we selected for our kitchen and master bath. I love the classic beauty of marble but not the risk of staining. Dolomite is a new-to-me form of marble that is durable enough to use even in kitchens. Win-win! Are you team marble or team quartz?

My new favorite!! Can’t stop wearing this adorable fleece by @dudley_stephens. It’s made of the softest fabric and is so comfy for work from home days! I especially love the polish that the stand-up collar gives it and that it’s long enough to wear with leggings. Happy fall y’all!

Can I just say I am SO proud of myself for not waiting until the 11th hour to get my Halloween costume this year! Even though we’re staying home I’m still planning to dress up. Who’s in?

This little space is one of my favorites in our house and an easy DIY! I bought this mirror at an antique shop in Leesburg, VA years ago and used it as our bar menu at our wedding! You can see mine and Chris’s signature drinks - the New Yorker and the West Virginian. Love having it as a memory and beautiful decor piece in our home bar!

Sunday Funday = successfully convincing the husban

Sunday Funday = successfully convincing the husband to come shop around with me. Obsessed with my clutch from @shopoventure. My mom got me this one for my birthday and I have a key ring from them as well. I love that they fit like a bracelet which makes them super easy to quickly grab and carry around. Extra hands for shopping!
