Decorating

It’s always sad to see summer go, but the trade-off of cool weather, warm drinks, and decorating for Fall/Halloween makes it easier. I rounded up some cute and affordable finds on Amazon that are sure to get you in the Halloween spirit! *I am an Amazon affiliate and may earn commission when you shop from […]

Yes, I know it’s technically summer but after Labor Day I go into full on fall mode around here. Before I bust out the bats and skulls I like to decorate for FALL – and then I’ll bring this decor back out for about a week after Halloween for Thanksgiving until Christmas decorations come out. […]

If you’ve been reading The Mama Notes for a while you know we’ve slowly been renovating our 1970’s split-level home. And with each project we finish it feels more and more like us. While the hallway was no big task, the small changes I made created a large impact in this throughway upstairs that we […]

I’m excited to share the first rooms in our new house that are just about ready for their debut! There are a few things left to do — like paint the walls and base boards and I still have a bit of work to do on the dining area but they were featured on Glitter […]

Let me fill you in on a little ‘not so big’ secret. Minted is my favorite place for affordable artwork that you can have framed & matted. They make it a little too easy. I’ve spent hours upon hours browsing artwork from thousands of artists on their site. Minted recently launched a collection of metallic frames […]

It’s hard to believe that we just celebrated our first wedding anniversary! What an incredible year it’s been – from our honeymoon in Europe to the birth of our daughter, Piper Rose – it’s been fully packed of memories that we’ll never forget. When thinking about what to get Austin for our 1st anniversary I was […]

Apt 2B Virgil Sofa // Minted Artwork // Society Social Ottoman // Elodie Rug  One of my favorite parts of our new house is the built in bookcase and fireplace in our family room. It’s right off of our kitchen so we haven’t really spent too much time here yet but as soon as it […]

Long gone are the days where bookshelves are just a place to store things- as you can tell from Pinterest, the stylish shelving trend is taking over the decor world and we could not be happier. Shelf styling is practical and makes for an organized, put-together look, but is also a great way to display a […]

    Like most of my DIY’s this project is prettttty simple! I don’t have step-by-step photos for these little napkin tassels so hopefully my directions make sense! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions. I created this tablescape for a post on Glitter Guide (see the full shoot here) and […]

  I recently had the opportunity to give my bathroom a little makeover as part of a partnership with Target for Glitter Guide. Our bathroom is teeny tiny and has had the same black and white shower curtain and a variety of bath mat’s since we moved in two years ago. It was fun to […]

It took me a while to get my bar cart all decked out for the holidays but I’m so pleased with how it turned out. I’m a big fan of mixing herbal syrups into champagne cocktails so I decided to make an ‘aromatic’ bar for the season. This design was really simple, I used pretty […]
