The holidays are my favorite time to get dressed—not because I’m chasing trends or trying to be over the top, but because the season invites us to celebrate and a reason for getting dressed up! It’s the crisp air, the twinkling lights, the way everything feels just a little more magical. And with that, even...

December always feels like a season all its own. I can already feel myself getting anxious of my “to-do’s” and I am rewriting the narrative this year... which has been an ongoing trend for me in general. Find ways to slow down just enough to notice the little things-like the way the light hits in the late afternoon or how comforting a familiar scent can be.
So in the spirit of curling up and relishing in the comfort of our homes, I find myself drawn to warmth in every form-deep, earthy hues that ground you, textures that invite touch, and timeless details that quietly stand the test of time. This is the season for gathering close, embracing the imperfections of the moment, and leaning into everything that makes your home feel like a haven.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Oh I can’t even tell you how extra special this holiday weekend feels with the kids back home (the first time all five us are under this roof together), filling our space with laughter and college kids chaos. (IYKYK) It’s a reminder to soak it up and realize that this phase will pass too- way faster than we will want.
As we all gather around the table, I find myself reflecting on how grateful I am for our time together. As kids grow up and begin lives on their own, I cherish this time to have together. Hearing all their stories of making their own lives while living away from home. It’s pretty amazing.
So, as we celebrate this beautiful holiday all about gathering, I encourage you all to take a moment to appreciate the people around you and the spaces that bring you together. Embrace these precious moments!
If you had asked me 5 years ago if I would ever consider using faux garland, my answer would be… No. Way. But here we are and I find myself using it everywhere. But it’s not that cheesy, plasticky (is that a word?) stuff—I’ve tried many brands (ahem.. I won’t name names) but these are the cream of the crop.
Ok - so let’s get to the deets of how to achieve this look… Let me tell you:
Materials Needed:
- @afloral 66” faux cedar garland (link in our LTK) I used 4 to get this full of a look!
- command hooks
- binder clips
- optional: a few additional sprigs + branches for added volume
1. Stick command hooks on whichever surface you would like to hang your garland from (I spaced mine about 12 inches apart)
2. Attach the binder clips to the stem of the garland
3. Use the hook of the binder clip to attach onto the hook of the command strips
4. Fluff your garland to hide any visible hooks
5. Add a couple of branches into the mix if you are wanting an extra luxe and full look. Don’t forget to fluff!
If you need this garland (did I mention it’s on sale?) comment ‘GARLAND’ and I’ll send you the link to the exact one we used!
It’s wild how much a room can change when the furniture finally moves in. I still remember walking through our house before it was furnished—it felt full of potential but so unfinished, almost like it was waiting to tell its story.
When the pieces started coming together, it was like the spaces came to life. The living room wasn’t just a room anymore-it became the place where we gather, where we linger over coffee or cozy up for movie nights. The dining room turned into more than just a table and chairs; it’s where we share meals and moments with people we love.
I’ve realized that furniture isn’t just about filling a space. It’s about creating a foundation for how you live. It’s about finding pieces that are not only functional but that feel like they belong. They anchor the room, yes, but they also bring warmth, character, and soul.

Part III of the #High DesertTumaloRanch home tour. Today we are finally revealing the primary suite —and we are just so excited to be able to share with you all the details that went into creating this little private sanctuary.
If you’re new here, this part of the house was an addition to our home. We extended this end of the house 16’ to create a comfortable distance between the entry and the bedroom itself, adding a cozy den in between as a privacy buffer (stay tuned for the den reveal soon!). The primary bathroom went from tiny to feeling spacious and perfect for our routines.
We hope you have enjoyed this tour. The walkthrough has been such a great way to share our design choices and how we shaped our home to reflect our lifestyle. I’m no natural in front of the camera, 😆 but this has been fun! Thanks for being here. ❤️
