Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for t Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for the supplies we used!🔥

When I say this design came to me in a dream I quite literally mean it haha it really came to me in my sleep. I had been thinking about how to make the overmantel work since the stone structure placement kind of made it more difficult.

Putting 2x4s up the wall allowed us to place the shiplap over the top part of the stone and took it out from the wall a little bit. Then Craig built the mantel over the existing stone one - which by the way was the worst mantel that ever existed. It was only about 3 inches deep, it was completely uneven, and it was tilted forward. So basically it was impossible to get anything to really stay on the mantel. Useless lol. Now I have a nice big mantel I can style and put up Christmas decorations and it just looks amazing. 

Overmantel paint color: @sherwinwilliams Worldly Gray
Mantel stain: Minwax Special Walnut

Tips to Get Motivated & Stay Active with Secret Active Deodorant

An active lifestyle doesn't just mean your daily workout, either.  It's doing the little things throughout the day to move your body, get out of your chair, and keep that blood flowin'!  Some Americans are sedentary for up to 21 hours a day...that is crazy.  Our bodies were meant to move, bend, stretch, & sweat! Read More

Effortless Summer Style with CeCe at Macy’s

When it comes to summer style, I gravitate towards looks that are casual, timeless, comfortable, yet stylish.  In a word: Effortless.  Soft material to stay comfortable in the summer heat and understated styles with subtle feminine touches are a must for me.  Generally speaking, in the summer I live in cutoff shorts.  So anything I put on, I want it to be able to pair well with one of my {many} pairs of cutoffs.  But on top of that, if the piece can both pair well with my shorts and be casual AND also have the ability to be dressed up for date night or maybe a summer concert, that's even better.  The versatility and effortless style of the CeCe apparel found at Macy's hits all of these points perfectly!

A Life Changing Decision & A New Chapter

Hi friends!  Happy Friday! I hope y'all are having a great day.  Craig & I are en route to the beach for a few days to spend with both of our families.  I look forward to this trip each year!  It's really convenient that our families go at the same time, so traditionally we've spent half the week with my family and then half the week with Craig's family.  The beaches are only about 45 minutes apart so it's an easy drive to make the transition to the next fam!  This year, however, following our 12 day trip to Italy, PTO is a little tight.  So the plan is that Craig will be heading home after a few days, because he has to head back to work.  I will more than likely stay at the beach for a few more days after that...Read More

Ruffle Blue Romper + Boutique Gift Card Giveaway

Hey babes! How cute is this off the shoulder ruffle blue romper??  It's different from anything else I own and I love how flattering it is.  The ruffles up top really help make your waist look smaller!  The material is pretty stretchy, so it's form fitted for sure, but comfortable. Read More
