As creative as I {think} I am in most of my endeavors, holiday Tablescapes aren’t my forte. It’s not that I can’t pull them together, or that I’m unhappy with them when I do, but I put a ridiculous amount of thought into them before beginning, and they seem to take more time {before and …
Outdoor Living // Bright & Bold Patio Space
I think I accidentally stumbled on Tobi Fairley Interior Design via Joss & Main‘s design magazine, Plume and got lost in her portfolio of brightly patterned rooms and traditional spaces. I love when I find something new on the internet that I haven’t seen all over Pinterest already, and maybe it’s because I just generally …
What’s Your Interior Design Style?
Written by guest contributor Paisley Hansen Everyone has their own individual taste in interior design, but there are times when we feel at a loss for what will fit in a space with what is already there. If you have a room decorated in a specific way, but have empty space on the wall you’d …
Rustic Chic Thanksgiving Table Decor Using Tartan Plaid
I am loving this Rustic Chic Thanksgiving Table Decor by Svitlana Flom for Art De Fete using a red tartan plaid backdrop! I rarely think of plaid for Thanksgiving, and never, ever think of red tartan, mostly because it reminds me of Christmas. However, by simply adding rustic, old world touches like heavy metal dishes, …
Don’t Be a Party Pooper! Use Poo~Pourri Before You Go
Not only is Poo~Pourri a hilarious name, concept, and commercial, but apparently, this before-you-go® toilet spray REALLY WORKS! When our friends were visiting last weekend, they told us they had recently hired a female assistant for their business… but being that they’re all now working in the same office, using the one bathroom that also …
How To Fold a Fitted Sheet Perfectly In Seconds!
Apparently, Thursday was National Make Your Bed Day… there seems to be a dedicated day, week, or silly holiday for everything now! But in light of it, and since I rarely make my own bed {I’m such a rebel, I know} I thought I’d share this great video & photo tutorial from Crane & Canopy …
Wild Swimming in a Natural Eco-DIY Swimming Pool
I stumbled upon these DIY natural and organic swimming pools and was instantly intrigued. I love the idea, but I’m not sure I could really actually swim in one. Though I swim in the lake, which this seems to emulate, but smaller I guess, more like a pond, I still don’t really know what’s below …
Mixed Prints // Interiors // Long Hallway Sitting Area // Bulldogs
Originally this post was meant to show off our new black and white polka dotted rug in the Long Hallway Sitting Area with Slanted Ceiling {which let’s be honest, I set in place right around the 4th of July, so it’s not so new anymore} but now it just seems like an excuse to post …
4 Super-Easy Outdoor DIY Painted Rug Ideas

An outdoor rug can really pull together a porch or patio, and with a bit of DIY know-how, they’re easy to make. Not to mention, they’re less expensive than store-bought rugs. Here are some tips …
Shopping // New Gems for My Desk
Like most sales at Joss and Main, I couldn’t resist a recent gem called The Lady In Charge and snatched up a few cute items for my home office/desk, which I feel has been receiving a little less love than it should be lately. The last post I shared of the space was of a …
Rustic Orb Pendant Lanterns // Our Dining Room Now
I love that our living room, kitchen, and dining room are all in one open great room {you can check out our open space before we moved in here if you like}. This is the room we spend most of our time in, when we’re not working that is -and sometimes when we are, and …
6 Creative Landscaping Ideas You Can Do Today
{Maegan’s Note // As we embark on a monstrous landscaping project of our own, I sometimes think WHY didn’t I just do this myself!?! It still feels larger than life, but is already taking far longer than I expected even to just get started and costs are already rising before a brick gets laid, a …
Dresser Makeover Before & After // Raw Rustic to Glam Black & Gold
I found this great hand built rustic dresser at a thrift shop for $200 a few years ago to house the husband’s clothes and to match our old Tropical Master Bedroom. It was perfect and I loved scoring such a treasure. In our new master bedroom, however, it doesn’t really work. The unfinished wood with …
Meditation Room // Guest Room Inspiration
Other than the Reading Room, which is more of a makeshift guest room, we have two actual dedicated rooms for guests. The Beachy Blue guest room was one of the first rooms I finished decorating in the entire house but there’s one final room {shown above} at the very end of the Long Slanted Hallway …
DIY Faux Crystals with Rocks, Nail Polish, & Gold Spray Paint
With an influx of styles reminiscent of the ’70s, ’90s, as well as a return of the bohemian flair in all things decor, rocks, crystals, and gemstones are rather trendy at the moment. But they’re also really expensive. If you want the look for decor purposes and not so much for the healing quality of …
