I’m beyond excited to finally share our newly furnished living room! Curating the concept for this space took some time to brainstorm as we wanted to maximize seating in our deep, yet narrow living room. Let’s break down where each piece was purchased, how the layout works, and our overall inspiration for the space. I started with one goal: our living room must comfortably seat six! I have a large family and wanted enough room for people to gather without feeling crammed. We kept getting stuck on how to maximize seating while also making sure the pieces we…

Thank you to New England Dairy for sponsoring this post. Each spring Matt and I dive into a home project as we continue to renovate our 1950’s New England Cape. In 2021, we tackled our upstairs multipurpose room – which is now one of our most used rooms in the house. And in 2020, it was our outdoor patio space that got a refresh. This year we had one project in mind: our deck! With the upcoming Fourth of July weekend – we knew the deck was an absolute must for us to entertain. When we initially took on our 2019…

I’m embarrassed to admit how long it’s been since I posted an update for you all here. So, why not kick off my return with one of my favorite posts to write: My birthday post! Coming at you nearly 3-weeks late – my annual birthday recap is so special for me to look back on. You can look back here: turning twenty-two, turning twenty-four, turning twenty-five, and turning twenty-six. You might note, I skipped last year’s post on turning twenty-seven. Pausing and reflecting on the past is something that can be extremely overwhelming to me. Especially if I’m reflecting on…

Thank you to New England Dairy for sponsoring this post. A tradition of mine is visiting different local farmstands each year. Fletcher Farm in Southampton, Massachusetts has been on my list of places to visit since they opened their newly renovated farmstand! So, since it’s the season for decking the halls, it was the perfect opportunity for my Mom and I to take an hour-long drive up to Fletcher Farm and grab some Christmas cheer. We of course had to stock up on wreaths, garland and some fa-la-la-holiday decor too! Fletcher Farm is a multi-generational family dairy farm. The heritage…

Matt and I always put our holiday decorations up the week of Thanksgiving. Traditionally, we’ve purchased our Christmas Tree from a local farm after turkey day. But for 2021, we decided to buy an artificial tree – so we could enjoy it longer – and for years to come! Once we had our new faux tree in its place, Matt and I decided to head to Christmas Tree Shops to stock up on all things…

Living in New England means living in close proximity to uniquely quintessential beach towns. From the rocky coast of Maine to the weathered shingled homes lining the Cape – we are lucky to have so many beaches to explore. This past weekend my cousin and I spontaneously headed to the Cape which prompted a quick trip to Christmas Tree Shops andThat! to stock up on everyday beach essentials, ideal for keeping in the…

Last month, my Mom and I drove to East Canaan to visit Freund Farm, a New England Dairy farm, we’ve been interested in checking out for over a year. As soon as we parked the car, I could tell getting to visit Freund Farm was worth the wait. We spent a good hour just exploring the blooming garden center filled with perennials, herbs, and hanging flowers. My mom and I also checked out their farm stand that was stocked with delicious treats, chicken pot pies, and planting supplies. Speaking of planting supplies, when we visited, it had just started warming…
