Welcome to one of my favorite times of the year: January. I have always loved the feeling I get in January, after the Christmas decorations are put away and we get to start with a blank slate. This is the time of year that I purge, organize, and most importantly- CLEAN. Not only do I clean, but I "Spring Clean". To me, that just means doing all the things I do less frequently. Admittedly, cleaning isn't my favorite- but a…
I couldn't be more excited to share this post. As you know, decorating and home staging are my absolute favorite hobbies. It's been two years since I did a holiday home tour, so I am that much more excited to show you around. Keep in mind, we are renting- so please don't judge the paint colors and other things out of my control. (Ha.) …
Who’s got their house decked out for Halloween?! I’ll be honest, I typically don’t go all out for Halloween decor (I usually stick to basic autumn accents), but I wanted to try something new this year. I thought the best place to make “spooky” was the entryway. (I love a good themed entryway, y’all.) I have said before that an entryway is the first impression of the home and the most seen part of my house. I had so much…
Decorating and styling my home has become my very favorite hobby. When I am stressed or need to decompress; organizing/decorating/cleaning is actually my favorite fix. Weird, huh? My friends like to laugh about the fact that most of my home decor is neutral. My husband has even said (on multiple occasions) that my house is “50 Shades of Grey”. All areas of my house are, for the most part, color neutral. It was especially important for me to use Neutral…
Y’all know I love a good mantel. In fact, I am pretty sure I have quite a few examples on Instagram if you look under the hashtag #typicalkatieathome. This year, I am lacking in the time and creative energy department, so I wanted to do something super simple for the fall season. Last year, we didn’t have a mantel- so you might remember me styling a bench, instead!…
When Charlie hit the two and a half mark, she started sleep regressing. We have no idea why. She just decided that sleep wasn’t going to be her thing anymore. Up until that point, she hadn’t been in her own big girl room. (Who’s been around since this room reveal or this one?!) She was still in a crib, because she truly did not seem ready for a bed. She is my wild child, and needed the confinement of the…
One thing I never knew how much I would miss when it was gone was a good back yard. In Napa, we were in a small apartment with no yard for six months and it was rough! I love having a yard for so many reasons. The kids have a space to play, and we all have a space to enjoy the outdoors comfortably! We have out-of-town guests this weekend, so the back yard has been fully utilized the last…
This post is sponsored by Tandus-Centiva (A Tarkett Company), all opinions are my own. I have always been really big on making sure my bedroom was a cozy place to retreat. Nine times out of ten, it’s the only place where I can really take a breather and escape the stresses of the day. Did you know that your bedroom atmosphere GREATLY affects your ability to relax and get good sleep? It’s true! (If my kids slept through the night,…
