I could look at this always.  Love you Florida! (Heart eyes)

View from the window seat just about to land in Boston! Never been, but it looks good so far! New experience: seeing the Atlantic Ocean from this far up the east coast! Also, saw some wind turbines, which made me happy! Yay for renewable energy! Having the hubs and kids here too would have made it perfect!

Soooooooo, pretty excited about the big 1970s burl wood desk I got yesterday!!!😍😍😍

I need an office space badly, but in our little 1950s ranch, there's not a ton of space for extra stuff like an office. Well, I do have a 1.3 million credenzas though, so one of them had to move on to greener pastures. So this first pic was the one to go. 😭 it's amazing storage, but that's about it. If you look at the picture below, you can see what replaced it! ☀️🌈 yay! Love me some vintage burl wood! Look below again after that. This thing was a BEAST to move and I legit had to lay down afterwards and thought I was going to barf. (eye roll emoji) I need some exercise.  I can't wait style this out!

Happy Friday 🌈😘OMG. I love the golden hour in my house!!!! In case you don't know what the golden hour is, it's that special time of day where everything in your house glows with sunlight, usually in the late afternoon. It's totally magical! Spring is on its way, and I'm so excited! Does it seem superficial to be into interiors and decor? Some people would say yes, but I don't think so. Your home has such an impact on your feelings and mental state. Seriously, coming home on a Friday afternoon to see the house flooded with light puts me in such a good mood!☀️=😊 bright colors and sunshine, people!!!! Make your house your home! Fill it with the things that make you happy! Including the people that make you happy!!! .

Meena loves this little throne!

Happy New Year!!!! I don't know how your first day of 2017 is going (and I hope it's awesome), but mine is off to a great start! Hubby and FIL grouted the basement tile floor, which means the kids' playroom will be ready to fill and use soon!!!! Yay! Goodbye toys all over the first floor (I hope), hello Legos-stuck-in-my-foot-free days!  Anyone got some good playroom ideas to share??

A winter forest adventure! Loving being home with the kiddos! Can't wait to win the lottery so I can quit my job and do this always!

Painted these with food coloring for my son when he was a baby.  Now they make pretty window sill décor.  Miss those days.

Officially on Christmas vacation! Woohoo!!!!!  Pretending I'm a stay at home mom for 11 days!!!! Time to break out the wine! I mean, mommy juice! ;) Just kidding!

Is it weird that this is one of my favorite pieces of Christmas décor we have? It's just so happy!

Because it's just not Christmas without a piñata named Horse...(named by Meena)

I love our CF of a Christmas tree! Homemade ornaments + ornaments picked out by the kids every year + gifted ornaments + obnoxious tinsel garland + old-school colored lights + the perfect gold star = our happy kiddie Christmas tree! :)

Holy moly! Just spent hours moving this old art-decoish bedroom set across town in brutally cold temps to our garage...good way to test a marriage! Ha! Beautiful old set and I'll be blogging gall about it soon!

glitter + cheery holiday message = happy Christmas decor

Via the cheapie dollar bins at Target

My new coral front door + my handmade Christmas wreath = the perfect start to the Christmas holidays!

I AM THANKFUL

Took a pajama wagon walk last night.  Just us.  Was nice :)

Photographed my friend Julia's gorgeous home last night for an upcoming House Tour blog post.  Super excited to finish and publish it! Here's a sneak peek of just one of a million beautiful parts of her house!

Vintage chair + sugar skull pillow + hanging paper bats + floral curtains = my perfectly spooky living room corner!

Strawberries from our wild strawberry patch! Shout out to the bird that pooped a strawberry seed in that spot and started it all!

MCM nightstand = Perfect size dresser for toddlers! Love small furniture for kids!

Love Michigan in the fall!

Cub Scout camp in MetaMora, MI.  Going to Mass in the woods.  Favorite way to church!

Bright colors + kid art gallery wall + good vintage furniture + toys = happy kid room, no "styling" needed.

Taking a break from our busy lives for an after-school adventure in the woods (in the middle of the city).  Everyone should try this to recharge. 

Want to introduce good design to your kids' room?  MCM nightstand also makes great counter space and storage in a kids play kitchen! Then, when they outgrow the play kitchen, they still have some cool furniture!

Dreamy summer light + vintage Danish modern chair + the sweetest little girl in the world = perfection!

Love me a good credenza! Our happy entryway!

More MCM love! The best way to appreciate good design is to see it covered in kid stuff!

MCM chest + original artwork = nightstand I like waking up to! Vintage chest by United Furniture Co., original artwork by Nick Bonanni

New succulents from your friend's wedding + rattan chair + pastel sidewalk chalk + tropical potted plant + my adorable daughter's sandals = the happy porch I come home to! I like this kind of math!

...and the other side of the bed....MCM chest + original artwork = nightstand my hubby likes waking up to! Vintage chest by United Furniture Co., original art by Nick Bonanni

Awesome Craigslist find for $15, and keeps great time!

A yummy treat in our wild strawberry patch!

Ugly rain spout + morning glories = bye-bye rain spout, hello beautiful! Team Mother Nature!!!!
