Kicking off a holiday series with a little nostalgia. My mom had every Martha Stewart book growing up (btw, did you hear they are re-releasing her iconic Entertaining book?!).

Friends and family still call her “Martha,” and honestly, that’s where my love for hosting comes from. She always made our home feel special without overdoing it. Handmade, layered, and full of festive memories.

This year I want to lean into that old-school Martha era that feels right to us. We’re not decorating a full house this year, so we’re keeping it simple... but elegantly like Martha would do. Maybe a tree with one beautiful bow, white twinkle lights, and pillar candles across the mantle. It’s those natural, meaningful touches that make a home feel like Christmas.

Who remembers her iconic gingerbread mansion (yep, my mom made it 😂)! That kind of cozy creativity will always be the vibe for me. Check out our Pinterest for more holiday inspiration if you’re craving ideas that feel timeless, collected, and a little nostalgic.

It’s cabin season!

Comment ‘CABIN’ for the full Vermont River Cabin design.

If you are at all like me you start pinning all the cozy cabin interiors every winter! Seriously, each year, I dream of a log cabin full of character and coziness.

There’s a reason Ralph Lauren’s rustic style is so sought after. It’s not just about the items. It is the stories layered together. Worn wood next to clean linen, a quiet lamp beside a stack of books, a piece that looks like it belonged to someone before you. That feeling of home is what we were chasing here.

Today on the blog, we will be diving into the details of how to bring this to life.❤️❤️

Here’s a little reintroduction and a few of my favorite things!

Hard to believe we drove to Tennessee just about a month ago. Then slipped back to Oregon for installs while Derrick stayed and wrestled with dust and demo. It feels strange to sort of be in two places at once. Suitcase half-unpacked and notes on grout colors scribbled on receipts, trying to share our home journey from across the country...

People keep saying we’re living the dream and I hear that. It’s the dream we talked about for years. I don’t know if it’s “working” yet, but it feels like forward motion and I’m proud of us for jumping.

We’ve been out exploring whenever we can. New coffee shops, vintage stores, back roads, meeting people (The invisible string is real here. We keep meeting people with Oregon stories, and it’s giving me peace of mind) trying to find our spots. It’s messy and busy and there’s so much housework that “slowing down” isn’t really on the menu, but starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.
All this to say, starting over is scary. Putting yourself out there in a new place and building a business within a new market comes with a lot of unknowns. But I wanted a life that felt more authentic to us and I can feel us inching toward it, one project at a time. It’s not perfect yet. But I’ll take it!
