Our Summer Entryway

Image
Hello Friends! I hope that you are all having a great week so far and are enjoying these warm summer days. Summer is such a favorite time for me, it means spending extra time with friends and family. We always seem to have more get togethers in the summer than any other season.   I have had the pleasure of teaming up with Balsam Hill , alongside a lovely group of bloggers to share how we have all spruced up our entryways to welcome summer guest. Balsam Hill carries the most wonderful faux greenery and florals and I am so excited to get to share some of my favorites with you. Our 1924 cottage home doesn't have much of an entryway and so I had to create one.  By placing a bookshelf and some hooks next to the front door, this area now functions well for my family's daily life. Having a place to unload when you first walk into the home is key.  As important as it is to have a functioning entryway, I think that it is equally important to have it be welcoming. The ent...

Teacher Gift

Happy May! My boys get out of school at the end of the month and I'm blown away because that is just weeks away!  Where does the time go?  My boys are pretty excited to get started on their summer vacation but they are also a bit sad to have to say goodbye to their teachers. They both have such wonderful teachers and so I have come up with a sweet little gift that they can give to them on the last day of school.  (This post was previously shared on  City Farmhouse )  I typed up a few sayings, printed them out and glued them to decorative paper.  I will share the printables at the end of this post so that you can use them too. I came up with the idea of using rulers as plant marker, which I thought was so appropriate for a teacher.  I hot glued a clothespin to the ruler so that it could hold the card.   I bought the ceramic pots at the dollar store.  They had lots of different colors to choose from but I thought these turquoise ones were ...

Coastal Boho Office Updates

If you follow me on Instagram then you may have seen a sneak peak at our office/sunroom already. Today, I'm here to share the rest of the room with you. And by the way, if you are on Instagram  and you're not already, be sure to give me a follow so you can see more sneak peaks and behind the scenes.  So I'm telling ya, things have been a bit CRAZY around here!  My boys are on their 4th snow day in a row and have yet to return to school from Christmas break. I honestly LOVE that my boys are home with me, we've just been hanging out, playing in the snow, sitting in the hot tub, and being lazy all day long. It's been awesome! But this record breaking snowfall and freezing temps is really getting old.  I'm sooo ready for the snow to melt and to see green grass, warmer days, and sunshine again.  So since we've basically been snowed-in I have spent my days hanging out in our home office/sunroom moving things around and giving the room a bit of an update with a coa...
