know me better

Planning times when people gather to celebrate, decorating the place where our family makes memories and bringing order to it all under the roof of a two story tudor- that’s where you will find me.

I’m a wife, mom of 3, artist, daughter, “housewife”, volunteer, designer, friend, and I strive to live it all out as a faithful follower of Christ. We reside in a Two Story Tudor, of course, and I do hope we get to know each other better!

As you can imagine, all this kitchen reno “mess & disorder” is starting to get to me. So what did I do? I decorated a few “un-messed-up” spots for fall. It gave me a tiny feeling of order and decor, which I really needed.

Simple swaps are how I decorate for the seasons. How I do hate to pack up my seashells and “summer” but these is something welcoming and special about each season to come. Swipe for cozy fall look.

“To see a thing clearly in the mind makes it begin to take form.”

The original intent for these lights didn’t work out because they hung too low but we loved how they looked “old & iron & Tudor” 🤎 with a fresh spin and glass “globes.”🌎 The chandelier that hung over our dinner table didn’t mesh with the vibe we are going for we made this swap. Yesterday I painted them dark brown to work with our decor better.

Find comfort in Friday...or in my new window seat....lol.
⁣
Yes, a window seat was on my “house bucket list.” Just like my son wanted a laundry shoot and my daughter wanted a tree house, I wanted a window seat to curl up on with a good book on a sunny winter day.
⁣
The challenge was still allowing entry to the attic (see the little door behind the pillow) so I designed an option around that and had a contractor build it to my specs. When you want something bad enough, design it yourself!
⁣
And to top it all off, my talented friend, Elcy made the custom cushion with amazing detail. If anyone needs her info- (south hills of Pittsburgh) message me!
