College Game Day

Make Yourself A Wood Fired Pizza

If you are anything like our family, the fall season is all about football, yummy food and chillin’ around the fireplace. We love to make delicious, easy meals on the weekends for family and friends!

The one food that we all love the most is homemade pizza. We like to buy a few different ingredients and put them in small bowls for a make-your-own-pizza buffet. Everyone loves this, especially the kids! Then, everyone builds their personal pizza with their favorite toppings — it adds a fun, personal touch to a group dinner.

The kids and I gave Derrick the Ooni Pizza Oven for Father’s Day this year, and we haven’t looked back on how best to cook our pizzas. The flavor is unparalleled — the secret is to use wood chips, which gives the pizza that delicious, wood-fired taste!

Here’s a list of our go-to favorite toppings … and I’m all about buying pre-made pizza dough. We love Trader Joe’s dough — easy peasy and always delish.

 

TOPPINGS:

Shredded mozzarella cheese

Tomato sauce

Pepperoni

Italian sausage

BBQ chicken

Sliced jalapeno

Sliced tomatoes

Basil

Sliced red onion

BBQ sauce

So crack open your favorite microbrew (ours is from Deschutes Brewery), grab a slice of delicious pizza, and enjoy a day of chillin’ by the fire and watching football with loved ones!

Color drenching? Here’s what it is and how to nail it:

Color drenching means painting everything—walls, trim, ceiling, even woodwork—in the same color. It creates a cozy, cocoon-like  vibe that’s perfect for intimate spaces.

How to Do It:
- Paint everything: Walls, trim, ceiling, and doors all get the same hue.
- Mix up the sheens: Use different finishes like matte for walls and semi-gloss for trim to add depth.
- Add a complimentary color: This ensures that the space doesn’t feel too monotonous and adds visual interest and balance.
- Consider your natural lighting: Choose your color based on the room’s natural light to decide whether to go light or dark. Both can be equally beautiful.
Best Rooms for This:
- Den/Office
- Small Bedroom
- Cozy TV Room
- Dark or Small Spaces

Designing a space tailored to your needs is all about thoughtful choices and personal touches that make it uniquely yours.

This room is a reflection of our personal style. And something that I truly stand behind… a beautiful space doesn’t have to be all custom or high-end pieces. In fact, it’s all about the balance. I invested in this well-made sofa by @mosshomeusa and saved on the well-crafted vintage chairs and travertine coffee table I scoured the internet for. This mix is what makes the space feel more soulful in my opinion. 

When designing your own space, think about what truly matters to you. What elements foster a sense of warmth and connection? For us, it’s about creating a sanctuary where every detail—from the collected treasures adorning the shelves to the texture of the upholstery—speaks to our love for comfort and elegance.
