House Updates - Yet Again!

Hello friends!

Sorry for the long absence...
I guess that's what happens 
when you host family
and celebrate the holidays :)

In fact, having family visit
motivated me to work on our home!
So here are some updates!

Oh!  
I also added a "Mi Casa" Tab 
up above
which will give you an up-to-date 
tour of our home!

So there's that :)

Now for some pics...


We acquired some bookcases! 
- finally - 

As you can see,
we have quite a few books
and boardgames...

Three cheers for accessibility!!!

Also, I have recently acquired
a little typewriter collection (!)
which I decided to disperse 
throughout our home.




We hung up my seascape in the dining room
to bring a touch of deep teal to the space :)



And I finally finished my 
over the fireplace!


I also acquired a sweet brass coat rack
for our front entryway
and repainted a little bookcase 
to store our shoes, mail, keys and such!


And last but not least, 
I finally dressed up our kitchen cabinets
with some oil-rubbed bronze hardware!
(I found the knobs & pulls for cheap on Ebay!)



So, there you go!

I have yet to decorate for Christmas, 
but I'm excited to say the least.

Here's to hoping 
your Thanksgiving was 
SCRUMTRILESCENT.

xoxo

  1. I love how you've decorated you house Jess. It's gorgeous and it looks so "homey." You have such a unique sense of style that I love and seeing all of your home updates makes me excited for when I get a little home of my own in the future and how I will decorate it. :)

  4. So beautiful! It seems like a very home-like place --welcoming and refreshing-- without losing its classiness.

  9. Jessie, it has been so much fun to watch your house grow in personality and style! I LOVE your bookcases. They just totally make the room. Nice styling too. I've been thinking about you with all of this snow. Will you be in NM this Christimas? I am here now and so happy to have a little bit of winter with my Christmas.

    Happy Holidays!
