How to Redo an Old Brick Backsplash (Without Tearing It Out)
How to Redo an Old Brick Backsplash (Without Tearing It Out)
When we first looked at buying our current house, one of the biggest concerns was updating the kitchen…especially on a budget. It was a hot mess of modern and outdated, but as they say–location, location, location! Our quaint, 1960 abode is right in the hub of Tennessee’s Oldest Town, and it is the perfect starter home for our family of two (plus Oakley *wink*). So, we started planning how we…

Life Update: Tearing Up Our Yard, COVID, and a Happy New Year
Hi there! Yikes…. It’s been a little while since I have been on the blog, but if you’ve been keeping up on Instagram, then you know the past few months have been a bit of a whirlwind. While 2020 was chaotic all by itself, the last few months took quite the toll on Skyler and me. For one, we totally tore up our backyard… *cringe*

Renovating or revamping interior spaces is no small feat, especially when it comes to the kitchen. It’s so easy to get on Pinterest and gather big ideas. But it’s even easier to become overwhelmed with where to start, what to buy, and how much it will cost.
If you’ve been wanting to tackle your kitchen cabinets and have been struggling with getting started, today’s post is for you. I’ve got…

Life Update: Engaged, New Home, & Painting Projects
To say life has been busy and filled with (good) stress lately is a huge understatement. In a short period of time, I got engaged, bought a home, and immediately jumped into revamping it.
As I step into a new phase of life with my fiance Skyler, I am looking forward to sharing updates of all of our adventures with all of you! I will continue blogging about all things fashion and vintage, but…

Finding Hope & Cultivating Kindness | Why You Need to Detox from Social Media
Sit down–let’s have a drink and a moment to talk. As we all know, 2020 has been a rough year so far. We’ve seen the Australian bushfires, a global pandemic, a stock market crash, lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, the tragic death of Kobe Bryant (his daughter, and others on the helicopter), the death of an innocent man by a corrupt cop, the George Floyd protests and riots, social unrest, attacks…
Leopard + Gingham are an unlikely duo. Mixing these patterns creates a trendy, but unique vibe that’s fabulous for the workplace or date night. The trick to rocking this mixed-pattern look is matching tones. The earthy hues of the leopard pants pair so perfectly with the pale yellow and creme of this precious, vintage-inspired blouse.
Growing up sucks, am I right or am I right? We adult women are met with changes around every corner–our bodies, our careers, our interests, our friends, our diets. It’s like we are running the Boston Marathon, but like everyday. Exhausting, but also kind of cool to brag about.
It’s just a part of life, they tell you, BUT they never really tell you how often you will have to “find yourself” or…

I wore a tin foil hat and a shirt that said “I want to believe”. I had to explain what the X Files was, and why everyone should watch it, but I spent time with my lifelong sisters and others who love Stranger Things and sci-fi just as much as I do. . . . . #kphi #rush #rushlocal #scifi #love #sororitylife #pledgelocal #ehc #college #kappaphialpha #aliens #strangerthings #xfiles #iwanttobelieve #conspiracy #mcom #graduatestudent (at Emory & Henry College)

“She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. She is beautiful.” F.
