Men give their thoughts on decorating trends. This is a must read!

I’ve been reminded this week that life is short. Tell your people you love them.

I think I would live in a shack if I could just have this closet.

Instagram Inspiration

You may have noticed…I just haven’t been feeling it lately.

But don’t worry, this isn’t one of those posts. We’ve all seen them. Hell, we’ve probably all written them. And let’s be honest…it gets a little old. I used to follow a blogger that would post on the first of each month about this revelation she had had about blogging regularly, and then it was silence after a day or two until the next month.

I love blogging. Truly. But like anything else, it ebbs and flows. So I’m keeping one goal in mind through this crazy busy holiday season: quality over quantity.

In the meantime, I wanted to share a few sources of my inspiration…my favorite Instagram accounts!

Next week I’ll be sharing our holiday decor around the house. Unfortunately, when I went to photograph everything last weekend, all of my magnolia had deflated overnight, leaving my mantels looking a little sad. Lucky for us, we seem to have a never-ending supply of magnolia in the back yard!

Happy Sunday, friends! I hope your weekend is going well. I was reminded that Christmas is only 18 days away and hustle-and-bustle mode is in full swing when I unwittingly set out for a “quick trip” to the mall to pick up a couple things yesterday. I will not make the same mistake again!

Now for some link love…

We really need an extra long bench at the foot of our bed…I’d love to try this one.

Nathaniel Russell, a wealthy merchant, built the house in 1808. It is located right in the heart of downtown Charleston on Meeting Street, and can now be toured daily.
