I found this chore/barn jacket at Walmart on a whim before heading to DisneyWorld—and it turned out to be the MVP of the entire trip. Lightweight enough for Florida mornings, perfect for breezy evenings, and somehow pulled every outfit together (yes, even after miles of walking the parks).

I picked a medium for an oversized fit.

It’s giving effortless, practical, and just the right amount of classic. The kind of piece you throw on once and suddenly can’t travel without.

Many years ago, I had the honor of meeting Marian Parsons in person while attending one of her classes at the blogging conference Haven. Her creativity, style and unique ability to reimagine ordinary pieces is a constant inspiration for me.

One of my favorite things to style is a vignette. This book is packed with unique vignette ideas to inspire curated and collected spaces in our homes.

The new kitchen lights lend a touch of vintage charm to this space. I’ve included some of the other over-the-kitchen-island options we looked at before deciding on this one.

We hung antique inspired light fixtures in the kitchen today over the island. They lend the perfect blend of old charm with a budget friendly price tag. I’ve included some of the other light fixtures we considered before settling on these

Until today, I never imagined I could develop such adoration for a mailbox. Yet here I am, utterly smitten.

Sometimes, opting for a new piece with a touch of vintage charm is the more practical choice. Although I've dreamed of having a quaint vintage or antique mailbox adorning my curb, the reality is that despite my efforts I wasn’t able to find one that whispered “I’m the one,” fit my budget, met the modern day requirements of the postal service, and the functionality for packages.

The new one exceeded my expectations in how it compliments our 1912 home and extends the historic charm out to the curbside.

Current read. If you love old homes and seeing them come to life like I do, you’ll love this book!

#LTKitbag #LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

A side-by-side comparison of the old mailbox and the new one. The new one compliments our 1912 home and extends the historic charm out to the curbside. It’s heavy duty with a box capacity that is much bigger than the old one.

I never grow tired of how the sun filters through this house at different times of the day. The way the warmth tip toes through the rooms reflecting light in shimmering patterns, breathing life into every corner.

I live for the simple joys found in these everyday moments.

I cannot rave enough about this window film! I have it on 4 windows in my house and am about to add it to two more. Love the classic, old world English feel, privacy, and how it lets the light in. It’s stunning!

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

Before and after: this window film is quickly becoming my favorite find! I have it on the windows in my primary bathroom and now on the window looking from my kitchen into the laundry room. I love how it adds a touch of privacy while still letting the light in all with an old world English vibe.

I ordered this custom made sign for the outside of our 1912 home with the name of the family that built it. With several styles as well as colors, the options to customize one for your space is endless. The seller was extremely helpful and willing to customize the sign exactly how I wanted. Highly recommend!

Using written out house numbers instead of numerals can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your home, elevating its curb appeal.

The addition of this window film to my primary bathroom added privacy and an English home feel that’s functional and old world. It was easy to apply and has stayed strong through 100 degree temps to single digits. I added it to the three windows in this room and plan to add it to the other bathroom in my home

Who can resist the warm glow of candlelight? I have flameless, remote controlled candles throughout my home set on timers to go on and off at the same time each day. I love to display them in vintage candle holders and wall sconces.

I love the idea of a simmer pot filled with fresh ingredients scenting my home. With a gas stove, it simply isn’t an option to have a simmer pot on the stove all day. This little crockpot is the perfect size and option. I enjoy mixing oranges, apples, cranberries, all spice, cinnamon, a dash of vanilla and water - it smells divine.

I organize all of my Christmas ornaments and even some decor into plastic bins with dividers. I like the ability to stack the bins on top of each other and not having to worry about the ornaments being crushed in a soft bin

When I moved from the city to a small town 2 years ago, I said goodbye to $6 daily coffee runs and invested in this dual coffee/espresso maker. For the past two years, I’ve used it every single day. It’s a versatile machine with the best of both worlds.

Instead of hanging my Christmas lights on the outside of the windows this year, I hung them on the inside using suction cup light holders. The look creates a star pattern that feels whimsical and carefree.

This year, I’ve decided to keep the candles in the windows through Winter, perhaps even all year long. The glow is inviting and adds a touch of warmth during these cold nights

With Spring on the horizon, I’m looking forward to using my rocking chairs again. I’ve had these for over three years now and love them.

This was my first time using tinsel and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! These gold tinsel fringe packs made it easy to decorate my 9 foot tree. One package created the entire look

I've been admiring fandeliers for quite some time now, and I finally decided to take the plunge. It's been five months since I installed this fan in my primary bedroom, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. In fact, I'm so pleased with it that I'm considering changing out some of the other fans in my home as well. It truly is the best of both worlds – a perfect fusion of beauty and functionality.

These velvet room darkening curtains and gold embroidered sheers are an elegant addition to my entryway. Hung high on a gold curtain rod with beautiful swan finials, the look is stylish while being cost and energy efficient.

I’m obsessed with these wood wick candles from Target. They smell amazing and the soft crackle of the wick is calming!
