This adorable Prayer List chalk board is hanging in our kitchen.

For some time now, I have been wanting to stencil the risers on our small, narrow staircase leading to our upstairs. Originally I thought about doing something nautical or beach themed since our home is very much coastal inspired, however I just couldn’t seem to find the perfect stencil. I wanted simple and clean, not… Read More
Hydrangeas are my very FAVORITE flower of all time and this summer we were thrilled to have hundreds, maybe even thousands of beautiful periwinkle, deep blue and lavender bulbs all along our driveway, walkway and our deck.
