When you are trying to figure out your personal style it can be pretty daunting.  Each one of us has a unique blend of styles, influenced wildly by where we live or have lived, where we have traveled to or hope to travel to, whether we live in the city or the countryside, what we like to read, where we like to shop, etc.

Through this series, House Blend, I hope to show you many, many different combinations of styles.  Perhaps one in particular will strike a cord with you and will spark a new interiors project (you can always send me an e-mail if you would like a little extra help) but what I hope most of all is that each of you will find a little piece of inspiration and encouragement to discover the ever-evolving you!

There are few combinations that are easier to use than stark black and white, though the majority of people have a tough time sticking to it.  It’s sexy, graphic, bold, and oftentimes minimalistic, but a stark black and white combination can also be warmed up with texture, lighting, and even flowers, so if this color combination really appeals to you, don’t be afraid of it.  My home is fairly monochromatic and I absolutely love it!

Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just getting started!! 🍂 🎃 

Comment FALL to get the links! 👏🏽 🍁 

Guys! Fall is here and I’m enjoying this year more than any before!! The leaves are just starting to change and even as I watch one little lonely leaf falling, the excitement and anticipation of the fall spectacle of leaves is making me jump up and down! 

I know! So silly but it’s just so beautiful, isn’t it?! I love the warmth, the coziness, the soup bubbling on the stove, the warm candlelight flickering in the evening light, the pumpkin cakes baking in the oven, the long cozy nights spent cuddling on the couch under the fur blankets (and laughing as someone sticks their cold toes on the other’s leg! Ewww hahaha) 

I’m 1000% here for it and I’m soaking up every single second!!!

I hope you are enjoying the season as well! 

Sending a big hug and a kiss for each cheek! XxV

Comment FREE for more tips, styling hacks (& links if you want them, too!) 

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV

We so often forget that dreams are for adults, too! Creating our dream life is up to us! It starts at home, creating an environment where everything feels possible- becoming daring and bold in our rooms will spark a flame for every part of our lives! The details? They matter! They have a tremendous impact on our mood, so why not set the mood for all your dreams to come true?! 

Starting with a plan helps you have a road map which is why we share our mood boards. We hope they will inspire you- even spark inspiration- to create your life and your dream rooms! We even do it on a budget! 

Which room of your home is ready for something new?

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!
