Throop Platform Bed curated on LTK

Felt under the weather over the weekend and all my Christmas projects I had planned flew out the window. Sometimes life happens... so instead of what I planned to post today, here is a view of where I spent most of my day yesterday. Keep an eye on my stories tonight though cause I do plan to start a few fun crafts I’m going to use to decorate our tree! 🌲🤍 http://liketk.it/33lIX #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Today is the Mondayest Tuesday ever. I don’t know what it is about 4 day work weeks that make them seem longer than they are but I’m already feeling it today. It’s making me want to crawl back into my comfy bed

This end of our bedroom is looking a little different these days. And I’ve got all the feels cause it looks like it’s time for us to move from the mini crib to the big boy crib for Levi. 😭

Next up is some wall art and shelves to fill these blank walls and a rug for the floor to help warm up this space.

Throw pillows and blankets are a couches fav accessories. ✨ I love how I can change up the look and feel of the room on a budget by changing out throw pillow covers. Neutrals are my go to but I’m thinking of switching it up for spring. Are you team neutrals or team pop of color when it comes to couch throw pillows? Let me know with a 🤍 or 💚.

🥁🥁🥁 Our little bundle of joy is a… BOY!!! 💙💙💙

Are you as surprised as we were?? I still can’t believe we’re having a baby boy! Feel free to share all your favorite places to shop for baby boy clothes… cause it’s definitely more of a hunt to find then baby girl’s clothes.

2021 has been a whirlwind of a year so far and it doesn’t seem to be letting up. It’s been one of those seasons where everything seems to get turned upside down and you aren’t quite sure what’s in store next…

We moved out of our apartment, tried to buy a house in this crazy market, and then found out we were pregnant… and we’re still trying to figure out where God is leading us.

And finally over half way through the year, I’m finally at a place of peace in all the unknown. We don’t know where we’ll be come the end of the year but I do know that we’ll have a precious new baby in our arms and that truly is an answer to our prayers. So I’m confident God will guide us in everything else we’ve been praying for direction on.

In the meantime, I’m finally feeling that second trimester energy! And I’m pouring that energy into the bedroom refresh at my in-laws. Painting has been finished and I put some new curtains up last night and I already can’t believe the difference. This weekend’s project is to put the bed frame together… and be on the lookout this next week for the bedside dressers I’m working on!

R E S T 🤍 So I planned to take time off of IG from Christmas to New Years to rest and recharge... and then New Years came and went and it just felt right to let that period of rest run a little longer. ⁣
⁣
2020 was quite a year for all of us and 2021 hasn’t started on the best foot. On top of that, I knew this month was going to be a busy one for us personally. So I decided that before I jump into this new year and new season for us, rest is just what I needed. ⁣
⁣
That being said... I’M BACK! I promise more content is coming, along with some life updates I’m excited to share with you. So be sure to look out for new posts and stories coming your way. 🤍

Merry Christmas Eve Eve! 🎄 It’s definitely been an odd Christmas season and I’m ready to say so long to 2020. But I am feeling blessed to have my husband home for Christmas this year. 🤍.

Since this whole year has felt upside down, we are throwing traditional Christmas dinner out the window and making pizzas from scratch for our holiday dinner.

What’s your Christmas dinner normally look like and are you sticking to it this year?

http://liketk.it/34wxs #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Ho, ho, ho... 4 more sleeps to go! 🎅🏼

It’s crazy to believe that Christmas is this week. Even though we decorated early I still feel like I want more time to enjoy the holiday decor. So of course I’m already dreaming up ways to make minimal changes to our shelf decor to take it from holiday to winter themed.

Do you take down your holiday decor pre New Years or after? And does any of it stay up as “winter” decor?

It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas. 🎶🌲🌲

As part of my goal this year to make our house a “cleaner” one with less toxins and chemicals, I got rid of any candles that weren’t considered clean.

In addition to the @goldandivy_ candles that I’ve been LOVING for not only their clean aspect but their amazing scents as well... my go to for making the house smell good has also been diffusing oils.

Two Christmas combos I’ve been loving this season are:
✨ Christmas Spirit, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Orange
✨ Idaho Grand Fir, Pine, Northern Lights Black Spruce (smells like Christmas tree!)

If you’re into oils, let me know what holiday combos you’ve been diffusing this season?

Feeling like a regular ole Santa Claus over here!🎅🏼

I’ve been knocking out my Christmas to do list all weekend and I’m feeling accomplished and ready to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa.

Christmas cards done ✔️
Christmas shopping done ✔️
Presents wrapped ✔️
Paper bag snowflakes made and ready to hang ✔️
Christmas cookies made... well at least the ingredients are bought, cookies coming this week

How are you doing with your holiday to do list? Feeling ahead of the curve or a little behind?

Either way it’s a great night to relax on the couch and watch your favorite Christmas movie. 🤍

Our tree is finally decorated! I went the last week just enjoying the tree with the lights on it but last night I finally busting out the ornaments.

I actually had plans to make a garland to wrap around the tree but I’ve been feeling a little uninspired the past week and decided to just go with what I had. Who knows, maybe I’ll still get around to it before December 25th, but I’m not pressuring myself.

Social media can be a great place for inspiration but it can also make you feel like you need to “keep up with the Joneses”. So this is my reminder to you that your home doesn’t need to be picture perfect and you don’t have to do every craft you pinned... stick to the version of Christmas that brings joy to your home, whatever that looks like. 🌲🤍

When you rent and don’t have a fireplace, sometimes you have to get creative. 🔥 I dream of one day having a fireplace but for now I’m content with the sound of fire crackling on the TV.

We’ve also been binging Christmas movies ever since Thanksgiving weekend and I thought it would be helpful to do a round up of all our fav Christmas movies broken down by the streaming service it’s on for FREE (provided you subscribe to the service).

Our DIY floating shelf feels like it was made for the holidays. I mean it’s like having a mantle to decorate in our bedroom. 🤍

Also, I’m playing around with places to hang our stockings. If you live in an apartment or house without a fireplace mantle, where do you hang your stockings?

Successfully hosted our first Thanksgiving weekend! It may have been a quaint gathering but it was full of love and laughs. 🤍

Now time to kick up my feet and relax!

There truly are so many ways to decorate for Christmas and my word of advice is to go with whatever brings you joy.

For me, that looks like lots of natural looking greenery, neutral tones, and soft glowing white lights. I love the softness of all these elements and the peaceful feeling they give off.

It’s the time of year where I try to be even more intentional about slowing down and enjoying the little things. ☕️

This morning it looked like starting my work day a little later so I can enjoy my coffee and the newest Magnolia Journal while listening to Christmas music.

I love the Christmas season, but it can get so hectic and in a blink of an eye it’s gone. So I encourage you to take time this season to let it all soak in... whether it’s getting up a little earlier to enjoy your coffee at a slower pace or turning your phone off when family comes over so you can be more present. Whatever it looks like for you, take time to soak in the moments that fly by so quickly in this season. 🎄🤍

That mug from last week’s giveaway was just too cute not to grab one for myself. ☕️🤍

I’m a sucker for holiday mugs... I may have a mug addiction, haha! Anyone else have this issue? And if so, where is your go to spot for finding the cutest mugs? 🙈🙊

Temperatures are finally dropping in AZ which means extra layers of cozy can finally be added to our bedding.

I love a good blanket at the end of the bed for some warmth and texture in the room. 🤍

When our schedules get crazy, this is what our dates look like... getting up early to go grab coffee together before I have to start my work day.

Unfortunately we weren’t early enough for the free @starbucks reusable red cups this morning. Our Starbucks ran out super early.

Did you treat yourself to coffee this morning and score a free red cup?

There is just something about the color palette of fall that is so beautiful. 🍂

There is beauty in the shedding away of the old things, because they make way for the new things. Spring will bring with it rebirth and life. That’s the beauty of the changing seasons.

So as we go into the holidays, let us shed off the burdens of 2020 and make room for what’s to come.

Our pumpkins are still going strong over here... but since I know I’ll start switching over to Christmas decor soon, I’m brainstorming ways to use them up. 🎃

I’m thinking roast the seeds and make pumpkin purée? 🤔 This will be my first year doing this so I welcome all the tips!

Wondering how many of you are still working from home? 👩🏼‍💻 I’ve worked from home for a couple years now plus have my Etsy shop on the side... so there is a lot of sitting at a desk all day long. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But I’m so happy I can finally break up my sedentary day with my new desk gifted by @flexispot_sitstandmove. ⁣Being able to stand throughout the day has actually made me feel more energetic and productive. You can also set⁣

I can actually say I’m excited to go back to work Monday just so I can try this guy out! ⁣⁣

It’s always nice to get away... but do you ever notice yourself missing your own bed towards the end of your vacation.

Headed back to AZ tomorrow, but in the meantime we’re enjoying the cold mountain air and a cozy fire to curl up by. 🏔

http://liketk.it/2ZTDb #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Headed out of town for a week in a cabin in Pennsylvania... but first had to get the house cleaned up.

Anyone else HAVE to clean before leaving on vacation? It’s like I won’t be able to relax if I know I’m coming home to a messy house.

http://liketk.it/2ZEZp #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We did it! 🙌🏼 We made it to the weekend! Time to kick up your feet and relax. ☕️

I’m going batty over here! 🦇🦇🦇

Work has been so busy and I’m trying to wrap up everything by tomorrow before I go on vacation... but I’m so excited to be heading to the East Coast for some real fall weather! 🍂🍂

It’s not quite the vacation we had planned for the fall but with the way things have been this year, I’m just excited to get out of the house! 🤍

So excited to be this week’s feature for #ThisRentedSpace. My biggest piece of advice to those who rent is to not be afraid to hang stuff on the walls! They can always be patched later and you’ll never regret the coziness that a shelf or wall decor can bring... 🤍
