Let's Stay Home | Update #6

Thursday, April 16, 2020

The end of the week is almost here 🙌
I'm not sure why, but this four day school week has been killer!
But we aren't here to talk about that today!
It's time for...


Make sure you check out my home renovation and inspiration posts below!

Now let's get on with a little house update!

Paint is on the walls!
We are using Sherwin Williams Repose Gray throughout the entire house except for X's room and the master bedroom.


They still have to put another coat of the gray throughout the whole house, but it looks great so far!

You will notice a theme with the colors in our house.
Almost everything changes based on the light and angle you are looking at it.
Our wall color, our floors, the carpeting, etc.

Next up is X's room.
We had a hard time picking out what red would look best, but in the end I think it turned out exactly what we were envisioning.
This is called Heartthrob and honestly is a little bright when you look at the swatch, but in the room it is perfect!
We looked at so many darker and deeper reds, but they just looked brown once we tested them in the space.



And X's reaction to his room was exactly what I wanted to see!
He loves it!


And you can see from this photo that it looks darker when the light isn't shining right on the wall.



Of course the room I'm most excited about is our master bedroom!
It is the black room of my dreams!
We used Tricorn Black and it is dreamy 🖤







The ceiling is white throughout the entire house and we will have the same light/medium gray-beige carpet in the bedrooms.

They were working on priming our trim as well.
This is just one rack!
There was another rack behind me that was even bigger!!



Our interior doors finally arrived and they are gorgeous!





I wanted a glimpse at what the pantry door would look like, so Mic held it up for me ;)
It is backwards, but I definitely loved the look of all the glass in the door.



While those raw doors were gorgeous, the stained, inked and sealed doors are absolutely amazing!
Even though they are black, you can still see the knots and grain.
They really turned out beautiful!






Lots of other little things have or are happening at the house now as well.
Tile work, stair railings/posts/spindles, painting of trim, etc.
Of course some things are on hold due to some vendors being shutdown during this time :/
But it will all work out and come together when it was meant to :)

The last update I will show you today is the siding.
Talk about making a huge difference!
It looks like a house now 🙌🙌🙌



And remember how I said a lot of the colors we are using change based on the light and angle?
Well our siding is no different!
It is a gray/brown color so it literally changes as you drive up the driveway and look at it!



The old section still needs to be painted and new siding applied, but overall I love it!

There is still a lot to do, but I am absolutely loving how everything is turning out.
Building/renovating your home is no joke.
Make that a 100% custom build and it is like nothing you have ever experienced!

Thanks for stopping by today!

7 Ways to Style a Denim Jacket

Wednesday, April 15, 2020

I decided to dedicate this post to my go-to denim jacket.
Denim jackets have been around forever, and it is one of the few pieces in a wardrobe that never goes out of style.
The cut or wash might change over the years, but a basic denim jacket remains in style.
I can't remember a time I didn't have a denim jacket in my closet.
As a kid, through high school, in my twenties through now.
It is a completer piece in so many ways for me.

I'm sharing 7 different ways I style my denim jackets over the years with you today.
But know, there are a million different ways you can wear a denim jacket.


My must have denim jackets are from Kut from the Kloth.
I bought my first one from Nordstrom years ago and wore it so much that I had to order a new one!
The quality of these jackets are really good.
I am pretty cheap when I buy things, but the non sale price of $80 is worth it to me!
I managed to snag my jackets on a great sale a couple years ago, so I bought two!

I have the Amelia jacket in Universal (currently on sale for $67.15 and free shipping) and Sweet (not on sale but ships free).
I'll share a few other lower price options that I like at the end of this post :)

~one~


~two~


~three~

X-tremely V: Camo Skirt | 3 Ways

~four~


~five~



~six~



~seven~



Like I said above, the possibilities are endless!
I wear my denim jackets with almost everything I own.
If I had a picture of every time I wore one of my jackets this post would never end ;)

Are you looking for a denim jacket?
Here are a couple lower cost options if you still aren't sure about the investment.

Jean Jacket For Women

Old Navy Jacket (light wash, dark wash)- currently just $20



Time & Tru Jacket - Available in white, light wash, medium (shown) and blush. $14-20!
I think I need to add the white one to my collection for that price!

How do you style your denim jacket?
What wash do you have in your closet?

Have a great day friends!
