Last month I introduced a new series HERE, where as a side quest from my forever home search I’d create moodboards as a way to reintroduce my creative mind to the task of seeing the potential in home listings. And today I’m sharing my first one!

How To: Style for/from Real Life
We’ve all seen those rooms, styled to perfection, filling up our Pinterest and IG feeds. But c’mon, that’s not real life. Or it’s not a real fun life… yet I’m still guilty of lusting after them, aspiring to have my house look like that. But it’s just never gonna be how I live real life. And, honestly, I am totally okay with that. I’d rather actually live in my home, than exist in a Pinterest perfect house.

Introducing: Makeover Moodboards
In honor of my home-iversary this month, and my future home dreaming and scheming project that I’m tackling this quarter, I thought it would be fun, and helpful, to start a new series on the blog where I create moodboards for reimagined rooms, primarily in homes that catch my eye as I begin online house hunting.

Today is 11 years since I signed on the dotted line. Has it been a walk in the park? Nope. Would I do it again? Definitely.

How To: Mix Metals (and More) in Your Home
I’m not afraid to mix metals. In fact, I kinda love it. I’ll wear gold and silver jewelry together, and I mix and match metals in my home too. It gives a space (and an outfit) a more fun/playful/hip/casual vibe and I’m all about that. Other materials can also be juxtaposed for a similar effect, like mixing different wood tones. I know, shocking! Hear me out!

Upcoming: Project Punch List for March
In last week’s post, I reflected on being a weekend warrior and shared my approach to projects HERE. As I wrote that post, I realized that maybe I need some accountability to get those projects completed. So, at the beginning of each month, I plan to share the projects I’m hoping to accomplish! And maybe a report card on how I did on the previous month’s projects… first up, what’s slated for March?

Reflecting on… being a Weekend Warrior
Last month I shared the first post of my new “Reflecting on…” series. My intent with this series is to close out each month with a reflection on something. Some months might be a personal reflection, like I did HERE when I shared my thoughts on being 41 before I turned 42; others might be related to home stuff, like I’m intending for this post. Honestly, I’m not sure what will flow from my fingers today as I take some time to reflect on… being a Weekend Warrior!
