August Around The Web
Hello, friends! This month I went to the lake with college friends, attended a wedding, spent a weekend at our family lake house, and went to a Royals game with Dale — the perfect end of summer fun! I'm just beginning to crave Fall, having wrapped up a bunch of projects at work this month it almost feels like back to school. One thing I will miss about Summer is all the flowers — I loved this floral centerpiece inspiration pictured below. Here are a few of my other favorites this month:
I just purchased these knobs for an old dresser in our guest room!
Got lots of ideas from this home tour.
I love the idea of a rosé party!
This dress isn't screaming Fall, but I'm obsessed with all the color.
Thinking of making a similar DIY for our living room.
I am constantly learning from Podcasts, take a look at this article from A Cup of Jo
We tried these stuffed peppers this month, I'm really getting back in the mood for cooking.
If I were in NYC I would LOVE to visit The Color Factory!
And the prefect way to wrap up the month, an Autumn bucket list

Sunroom Inspiration
Hello, friends! I'm finally sharing another roundup of inspiration for the house. One of my favorite rooms is a tiny sunroom off our bedroom and Dale has given me free-rein to decorate! The whole room is based upon the Globetrotter Wallpaper from Clarke & Clarke — my mom used this wallpaper in a hallway at her house and happens to have extra that will hopefully fit the space. Other than that I have ordered the bookshelf (it just shipped) and all the other details are just ideas for the time being. I will be sure to share photos once the room has come together! Also feel free to pass along any tips for keeping a real Fiddle Leaf Fig alive, otherwise I might have to resort to the faux one below. Enjoy!
1. Jaya Floral Embroidered Velvet Throw Pillow from Urban Outfitters
2. Ikea Tejn Faux Sheepskin from Amazon
3. Nichols Standard Bookcase from Wayfair
4. Globetrotter Natural Wallpaper from Clarke & Clarke
5. Decorative Globe from Anthropologie
6. Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Plant from West Elm
7. Moroccan Leather Pouf - Small from West Elm

July Around The Web
Hello, friends! This month has been especially busy at work, I filmed a segment for KCTV5's Better KC sharing how to wrap baby gifts using the adorable Hallmark Baby product designed by my friend Amber Goodvin, I filmed a segment for the Hallmark Channel that will air this Christmas, and I traveled to LA for a work trip. It was a whirlwind but really exciting too! Dale and I are also settling in to his new work schedule, and I've loved getting through all of our photos from our Europe trip. Here are my favorite finds around the web:
While we have a lot of yard projects to go, a raised garden could be fun someday!
Beautiful paper poppies from The House That Lars Built
Adorable baby shower ideas that might come in handy for when I host a shower for my friend in a few months!
I'm always obsessed with beautiful floral arrangements, especially for parties!
I wish I could have taken this workshop in LA
I can't with for this Vitamin C Serum to arrive, I just ordered it!
Dale and I love dumplings, these are on my list to try.
Furthering my obsession with Château de Gudanes...
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
2019 Year of Good Thoughts Calendar
Hello, friends! I'm excited to share a few of my favorite pages from the 2019 Year of Good Thoughts Calendar I created for Hallmark. Each page features a quote from the Hallmark writing collection, and I loved bringing them to life with my lettering. It's available at Hallmark Gold Crown stores now!
