Ah, September—my favorite time of year, and also my birthday month (happy Libra season)! There’s something about the transition from summer to fall that always feels like a fresh start. The air is crisper, the colors in Bend start to shift, and that little taste of autumn we get makes everything feel just a bit cozier.

I don’t know about you, but this month is when I really start to dig into my closet for those rich neutrals, the textures that just scream “fall.” And, of course, anything that gives me a little extra dose of that Western spirit.

This might be a little controversial, but we decided not to incorporate upper cabinets in our kitchen. This was intentional! We had a clear vision of how we wanted to live and move around this space, and ditching the typical cabinet setup seemed like the right move. It wasn’t a decision we took lightly. We knew that without upper cabinets, we had to make sure everything worked perfectly for us. The shelves couldn’t just be decorative; they needed to be practical, too.

The living room at our high desert Tumalo ranch home is finally coming together! I’ve been imagining how this space would feel for years now, so it’s fun to finally be able to sit in it and share it with family and friends. It’s a blend of natural materials and vintage accents that create a collected and organic vibe … it really grounds the look of the entire home. I love the soft materials mixed with textures through fabric, décor, and furniture pieces.

Hey there, lovely people! Can you believe it’s already spring? Time sure does fly … I hope you’ve all been soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the little joys this season brings. Personally, I’ve been loving all the blooming flowers, the longer days, and the feeling of new beginnings in the air.

Let’s talk entryways, shall we? It’s funny – we’ve shared all sorts of updates about our home renovation journey, but we haven’t touched on the entryway yet. And … there’s a reason for that. With just two weeks until move-in day, things are getting pretty hectic around here. We’ve got electrical work happening, appliances being installed, and the final touches of paint going up on the walls. Oh, and did I mention that the entryway isn’t exactly spacious?
