If you don't already know, I'm kinda obsessed with antlers. 

I have them everywhere in my home and I love how they are the perfect rustic yet somehow modern accent to a rooms decor. 

Well, you can imagine my excitement while on the Nester's blog one day when I ran across an image of a wood and canvas wall hanging of what else, but a vintage antler science poster. {Here} 

GAH! I was in love with it!! 

Well, because I am an Instagram loving girl I had to find VOL25 on there and follow her feed! 

Oh what a sweet lady Jessica Rose is! She is not only an amazing talent but her kind heart and love for her family shines through in her photos. My heart ached last summer when I saw her little town of Patero's engulfed in flames and read her words and how she kept her faith through it all. What an inspiration she is! I knew I loved her and hadn't even met her! You know how that happens? How funny, these little connections that can be made without ever having the chance to really meet.  

I can't even begin to tell you how happy it makes me and how it fills my heart to have a piece of her beautiful art work in my home! 

Look what came in the mail the other day...

Even the packaging is gorgeous! 

Here my new canvas science poster { Antler Study Vol. 1} hangs and every time I see it, I love it more! 

Its the perfect addition to the room and you will probably see it move around my house depending on my mood but right now this is the perfect spot! 

Please go check out her shop Vol25 on Etsy and all the beautiful work she has to offer. You are going to fall in love with her too, I just know it! 

Hello friends!

I have been keeping some big news from you and I am happy to announce that my home tour is being featured on

  Joss and Main and went live tonight!! 

Oh and wait till you see the featured items in the sale! I'm loving all of it and honestly would love to have every single piece in my home. Some of my favorites are here below. I love how they represent that modern farmhouse feel that I have been working towards with my home. 

I think that you all will love the items in this curated sale just as much as I do so head over to Joss and Main and check it out for yourself! Not to mention it would totally make me happy to know you all had a look at what I've been working on. If you can't tell I'm pretty excited about this! 

{This post was sponsored but every single opinion here is my own} 

Something I have been considering for our home for awhile now is wide planked floors painted white.....swoon!

If you have been on my Instagram feed the past week you may have seen a little of what we have going on over here.

Our entire upstairs is carpeted and even though we invested in the "best" carpet the builder offered and upgraded the carpet pad, after only two years in this home, Im sad to say, it looks like crap! 

Not everywhere but definitely in the high traffic areas and it even has started to buckle. We even had it re-stretched but to no avail...it did it again. It stinks when you spend so much time working on your home and then you see something like that staring you smack in the face on the daily! 

What to do?

Well we didn't want anymore carpet, thats for sure! Because we didn't really have the money in the budget to completely rip out all of the upstairs carpeting, we have decided to start this next DIY small and see how it goes before tackling the entire upstairs all at once!

Along with the carpeting issue I had also been itching to change up our master bedroom. I know, I know, we just did this last year! Well, let me tell you something.....I don't like it. I know there are a lot of people out there that love it and have been super kind to give me all kinds of compliments on it but for me its just not working anymore. I need white! I need clean and bright and right now thats not the feeling I get when I am in there. I also believe that if you want to change something in your home and you can change it then you should! All the time, every time! 

If you missed it on IG then here is the little sneak peek of whats happening in the Master, its actually being worked on by the handiest husband ever, right now! 

I can already tell I'm going to love it. The simplicity of this picture is speaking to my soul and I'm in love! I can't wait to reveal the entire room in the next few weeks and share how we are doing these super amazing budget friendly floors!

Hello everyone!
 I'm so excited to be a part of the Blogger Stylin' Spring Home Tour hosted by Lindsay from the
White Buffalo Styling Co. 
If you are visiting today from My Fabuless Life, I'm so happy to have you here!
Entry

We built our home and moved in two years ago. It was your typical tract home with not much detail and nothing to set it apart from any of the other homes in the neighborhood with the same floor plan. But we loved the layout and we love the neighborhood, its our second home in this neighborhood after all! 

Because we aren't ones to shy away from a good DIY, as soon as we were unpacked we got going! The first thing we wanted to do is add some texture and dimension to the interior with trim work. 

I mean a lot of trim work! 

One of the next projects we tackled was to pull all of the carpet of the staircase. (here)

Thankfully our builder used all pine and we didn't have to mess with plywood risers. Huge bonus!

Family Room

One of my favorite elements in the home is our planked walls. I'm a little obsessed with them!

Kitchen

Oh my kitchen!! 

We just finished the remodel in here about a month ago and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. I have been dreaming of a kitchen with Carrara Marble and butcher block countertops and a farm sink for as long as I can remember. I still have to pitch myself when I walk in here because I can't believe I live here!

Sometimes people will tease us about how we live in a "fixer upper"or ask why we would tear apart a perfectly good, brand new home?!! Well, we want our house to work for us and we want to LOVE our home! We didn't have the budget to build our dream home from the ground up so we are taking it a little by little and making it become our dream home with a lot of hard work and patience. We have also figured out along the way that we really love doing it ourselves. This might sound crazy but its actually brought my husband and I closer together...DIY is "our thing" who knew?
