Meet the Wood Family: All About Winston.
Winston. This guy. It’s hard to say if we chose for Winston to come and be apart of our lives or if he chose to come into our lives. It was a hot summer day when I met this sweet boy. I was running around the neighborhood where my parents live in Shelby, N.C. when…

Island Make-Over.
Jimmy and I have been wanting to redesign our island for some time now. Our entire kitchen is a work in progress, but we thought why not start with our center island piece. The top piece is all reclaimed wood. We decided to give our island counter some length so that we could have more…

If you’re like us and live in a little home, then you need this sign. This sign from Kirkland’s touched my heart and reminded me how special our sweet little cabin is. We might not have a ton of room, but we have all that we need and all that we share is close together.
Let’s collage ya’ll!
If you know our house, then you know we have a cute little hallway. Our hallway has been decorated with usually just one larger piece of art. Well this has all changed. I have been collecting frames and cute pieces to create a small wall collage. Most of these frames came from HomeGoods. They have…
The Field.
Cool air brushes my cheeks and wet leaves are beneath my feet. I look down to meet two brassy eyes gleaming up at me. Her mouth is wide and her breath is brisk. I reach down to unfasten her leash and off she hurls down the trail. Her legs are heavy, heart racing, eyes forward,…
