Happy Thanksgiving from these turkeys! We are extra thankful this year as we welcomed baby Sutton Kate into our family last week! We could not be happier celebrating our first holiday as a family of FOUR! We planned a low key Thanksgiving this year.

Long time, no blog! The Florida build is seriously ROLLING! We are just countertops and plumbing fixtures away from the finish line! Light fixtures were installed last week and I so am eager to see them in person (along with the rest of the house)! I searched for white, rattan, and brass fixtures to flow with the rest of the home.

Today, we’re highlighting the bathroom vanities that we picked out for the Michigan build! I bought all three of these vanities on Wayfair and paid a fraction of the cost of custom cabinetry for a similar look! I really wanted wood vanities for the two of the bathrooms. I had to search high and low for the right pieces.

It's been a while since we've done a Friday Faves! Here are a few things I've been loving lately, from a new rug, to my favorite morning drink, to an email subscription I enjoy, to homemade bread!

Coffee table books have a way making a space feel complete. They belong in short piles on the TV console, dresser, dining room buffet, kitchen shelf, and (duh) coffee table. I haven't counted how many we have gathered over the years...some things are better kept unknown (Ty is already telling me that my little "collection" is outgrowing our new abode!).

As you know, we are very intentional about consumption and would loosely define ourselves as "minimalists" (I say "loosely" as minimalism is very relative!) The ever-growing baby shopping list definitely overwhelmed us. We did a ton of research to find out what we really need and what we don't. As first time parents, it's impossible to know. I'm sure we over-bought some things and will be Amazon prime-ing some things we should have purchased!

When we moved to the Holland lake house, we downsized from a king to a queen due to the size of the bedroom. At first, we didn't mind the switch...well, that feeling has worn off and we are itching to go back to a king! Hey, we tried! It's hard to downsize after the king life! We will have to replace our nightstands with a narrower version, but we have decided that a good night's sleep is more than worth it! We still have our king mattress from our previous home and are simply waiting to purchase a new bed!

Black Friday has arrived early this year at many places..including at West Elm! We were in the market for a new sofa for the living room. If you've been following along on instagram, you may remember that our new sofa was shipped with only half the legs....long story short, the legs never arrived (after 5 months) so we returned the sofa altogether. The defective sofa got picked up today, so we had to order one quickly as we are couch-less! We were relieved to learn that West Elm started Black Friday early!

If I could give ONE piece of advice when it comes to home design, it would be this: PILLOWS CHANGE THE ROOM. That may sound dramatic, but truly, designer pillows have the ability to elevate a space. Today, I am sharing my favorite affordable pillows that mimic high design pieces. I shop these sources often. You can find many of these pillows in our home!

I've linked everything we have selected thus far for the lake house! I will update this page as we renovate and move in!

I get asked about our Andes sofa ALL the time. We have now owned this sofa for a full year, so it's time for a review! ​ Sofas are an investment. I knew that the sofa I purchased would be a part of my life for years to come, so I wanted to make sure that I was entirely in love with it. We searched high and low for the perfect piece, and this was it!
