Good morning! I hope you all had a nice holiday weekend!
I first want to thank you all for your kind comments about the loss of Bailey. We read each and every one of them (and cried a bit more in the process) but they were all truly appreciated so much. She was a very loved little girl!
Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to these past few weeks.

Home Projects & Updates
In case you missed it, I did a little bedroom update after the holidays and am loving this punch of color in the space. Today is the last day for an additional 20% off the clearance price on the quilt if you had your eye on it!
BEDROOM SOURCES: Blue Linen Bed (look for less here) | Nightstands (look for less here) | Reversible Quilt | Striped Sheets | Waffle Knit Blanket | Lamps | Cane Wrapped Vase | Faux Baby’s Breath | Brass Frame | Woven Rug | Buffalo Check Stools
I also added this faux baby’s breath to our entryway (which I then later moved to our bedroom). It feels like the perfect faux floral for this awkward decorating stage between the holidays and spring decor.

I was eager to get the paper towels off the counter in our carriage house. I found this paper towel holder on Amazon and love that it is self-adhesive. It also comes with optional screws, but the sticky pad included is super strong. You can see here I tucked it up under the cabinet above the sink but it also works on cabinet doors. I just wanted our guests to be able to see it and know it’s there but not have it on the counter. Also, I promise to get these cabinets color matched soon!

It’s also one of the few I’ve found that works with our deep farmhouse sink where it doesn’t also hit the garbage disposal. Total gamechanger!

We also finally got a light for Kurtis’ office. The original one we had ordered continued to get backordered month after month, so we bought this one when it was marked down pretty significantly over the holidays. Looks like the price has gone back up again from what we’ve paid, but it’s still on sale.
I also started pinning some of my favorite samples up on this pin board in my office. I figure if I look at it multiple times a day I’ll be able to weed out which wallpapers and fabrics I actually want to purchase for our home. But I’m really loving this combination so far – so it’s not really helping me weed anything out 😉 You can find the sources for everything on the board here. Many sites offer free samples up to a certain limit or charge a small fee, which is very helpful!

In Case You Missed It
Following are the posts I shared over the past few weeks, in case you missed some days!
Around Town & For Fun
Kurtis was in Tampa several days last week for work. He also decided to jump on the cold plunge trend, and decided to cold plunge in our unheated pool. I think it was only 50 degrees at the time. I’m pretty sure you’ll never catch me trying this trend!
I attended a fun girls’ night at my friend Marissa’s house. Rachel and I went in the same top so had to document the occasion! She’s in a XS and I’m in the XL (but should have ordered the L). Such a great one for winter and the side buttons are too cute!
MY OUTFIT SOURCES: Quilted Mockneck Top | Jeans | Flats (old from Birdies)
Marissa is always the hostess with the mostest, even with a newborn! She made the Jennifer Aniston salad and had quite the spread for four of us!
These sandals have become a quick favorite! They’re still fully stocked in most sizes, but I’ve seen a lot of people share them the last few days, so they may not be around much longer! They fit true to size and are comfy to wear.

We had some really crazy storms here (including tornadoes in the area) last week. Thankfully we didn’t have any damage at our house, but we did have to spend some time in our closet which is never fun with two screaming cats. How pitiful does Hawkeye look here? Ha! Both he and Henley sneak in our closet every chance they get, and then when they’re forced to go in, they’re miserable.
Sunday night, Kurtis’ oldest sister and brother-in-law flew in from Omaha! It was somewhat of a last-minute trip but when asked by Pat where she wanted to go out to dinner for her birthday, Janine said Florida and they made it happen! Shortly after they arrived, we drove to the beach to catch sunset before heading to dinner. It’s hard to believe but they had a 100 degree temperature swing that day, as Omaha had wind chill temps in the -40’s. So crazy!!
I’m pretty sure we could live here forever and this just never gets old!
The 30A Songwriters Festival was in town for the weekend, which is always fun to liven up the otherwise super slow month of January.
Yesterday we drove into Watercolor and had a really fun patio lunch at 30A wine bar. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. I also randomly saw a blogging friend, Emily from Eleven Gables, walking down the street with her son. So crazy but it was fun to catch up for a few minutes! We then followed it up with dinner at Ambrosia and football and cards afterwards!
They’ve also already spotted deer from their deck in the carriage house!
Like most of the country, we’re bracing for extreme cold temps here this week. Granted, the temps may seem warm to many, but we’ve had to spend time wrapping pipes and will have to drip outdoor showers tonight as we dip into the 20’s for a few days and later this weekend. I hope you all stay warm and safe!

The weather in Omaha made the news here in Australia, could not believe how cold it is. I thought bet you are happy you’re in Florida.
