One of my most memorable cozy winter gathering at home was in our smallest space — our tiniest dining nook, a simple meal, just us and another couple at a small table.

It was a late night on the evening before my sister’s wedding. We didn’t have time to go anywhere or prepare anything fancy, but it was a magical holiday we’ll always remember.

No matter the season or occasion, I’ve always believed in the power of making each corner of home feel like a special destination.

There is something so comforting about what I call The Winter House. It doesn't ask you to rush away the season we're in now or wait for a date on the calendar when it's socially permissible to create and feel something — The Winter House knows what it's for, it's a...

My favorite Way Day deals, pieces I would buy again for my home, and four decorating “rules” that guide my decisions at home every season!

We’ve been doing some rearranging around our house and now we have a painted dresser in our “keeping room” aka the living room. We’re still figuring out what goes where in our home for maximum efficiency. You might remember this dresser, it used to be gold. We had it way back in our craftsman house and then in our Seattle home…

We are hosting for the holidays this year! Are you? My favorite thing these days is when I get to host our family for holidays. I miss having our kids all live in our home :( but it makes me happy when they are under our roof even if it’s for only a few days. There are some things I’m doing right now to prepare so I thought I would share. I had a hosting question the other day on where we seat family and serve meals when our whole family is here so I thought I would answer that share what I’m doing (early!) to prepare.

Today I’ll share a little tour of our flex room (aka The Snug!) with some current photos so you can see how we are using this multi-purpose space. The Snug is an attic style bonus room located over our single car garage. We need it to be a flexible space, as we use it as a family guest room, sitting room, TV room, playroom for grandkids, office, game room and more. Life changes with the seasons, too, so we want this space to work for us even as we change and grow as a family.

In today’s post, you’ll find new photos of my home and how I’ve styled it this week, along with five home decorating ideas to add warmth, personality, and charm to the spaces where you gather.

Long before Instagram I saved a lot of images of English inspired kitchens and “dining room libraries." But since we didn't have the internet (LOL) I ripped them out of magazines and put them in a three ring notebook. Anyone remember the ol' days of ripping out...

I love collecting coffee table books. There’s something about the simple, relaxing rhythm of flipping through a beautiful inspiration book (the good old-fashioned way!) that I've always enjoyed. I often find inspiration in books in a way I don’t usually find it on...
