March has been a really weird month. We went from having big plans for Round Top’s Spring Antique Show to everything for the show being cancelled and getting confined to our homes. So, I’m feeling extra grateful for all the inspiring images that have come across my screen over the past month. Here are some of my favorites - hope they bring you inspo too!
Read MoreI think we can all agree that this past week has been one of the craziest EVER! We are all navigating the unique challenges that have come up from the Coronavirus and, on top of that, Smoot, the kids and I just moved into a new house! That’s right, this past weekend, just as the spring antique show was cancelled, we were moving 20 years of stuff along with two businesses that we run in a home office, into a new house. It has definitely been overwhelming, but I’m choosing to focus on bringing balance into my life and my family’s life in the midst of all this chaos.

Read MoreSpring is such a special time of year, with extra sunny days and the rich greenery all around. If you’re local to Texas, you’ve probably been enjoying the warmer temperatures for several weeks. If you’re still stuck in the snow, hopefully this post will at least help the inside of your home feel a bit more spring-like!
Read MoreAs I'm sure you've heard/seen by now, we re-painted the exterior of the house from blue to Nordic black! We gave a little sneak peek back in February, but today we're posting additional photos and giving a little more background into the Modern Vintage Style choice. If you haven't yet, you can read more about my family's Scandinavian heritage and how that played into our black color choice in our Sneak Peek post.
There are about a million different shades of black, so it's always hard to make a choice. Especially when so many are just ever so slightly different. But, we ended up picking this particular shade, which is Valspar Lincoln Cottage. We liked that is was a true black, and did not have overt purple or blue undertones. We felt like it paired best with the white trim and stained wood.
Along with picking the color, we also had to pick a finish. From flat to eggshell and satin to gloss, there are so many choices and things to think about when choosing a finish. We decided to go with the satin finish because it gives the black a silky quality and it's much more durable than flat. And we feel that the satin finish matched the Modern Vintage Style the best.
We loved the idea of black and white, not only because of my Scandinavian heritage, but also because it is very clean and modern. We added the stained wood for warmth and interest. We couldn't be happier with the outcome.
