The other half of the living room still *unfinishe

The other half of the living room still *unfinished* but happy with the current progress of it! We ended up going with a rectangle table although Justin and I (and majority of you) voted circle, however when we say the rectangle in person we really liked it! ☀️

The rest of our house may be chaos but here is one

The rest of our house may be chaos but here is one section I’m pretty proud of! Justin worked really hard brining this display case back to life as a bar! I picked up some pretty awesome pieces at @vintanthromodern (vintage ice bucket and plant holder), and our globe was thrifted and used as a “guest book” for our wedding. 🌿

My attempt at being artsy for #thriftedthursday this was an outfit purchased pre quarantine. I have not yet to buy any clothing for a few reasons.... I have enough 😂, fitting rooms are closed down and am I really responsible enough to try them on and return them in time, and I’ve been preoccupied shopping for home item and just haven’t felt the desire to browse the clothing section.

As an avid thrifter I spend most of my early Satur

As an avid thrifter I spend most of my early Saturday mornings driving town to town for either tag sale signs or estate sales. Often I come across an estate sale and find myself looking through the items of those who have recently passed. It breaks my heart as I get an inside look of their life through their belongs. I know I’m weird and my style/aesthetic is definitely not the same of most of my friends. But I truly cherish items from the previous generations and enjoy the uniqueness that they bring to my home. Im excited to continue to share and upcycle items for our new home. Today’s finds include (not all pictured): baskets, John Deer weedwhacker, record player, metal shelf, hiking backpack, and plant stand - $60

This is my promise to you that I will continue to listen, learn, and do better. My impact feels small but over the past few days I have challenged the brands I support as well as my family and friends. Have these conversations been uncomfortable? Yes. Will I stop having them because they make me uncomfortable? No. Change begins at the end of your comfort zone.

I’ve really struggled with getting a decent nigh

I’ve really struggled with getting a decent night sleep over the past few months. My new work schedule really messed with my sleep. As we start to get back to our “normal” lives I’m a little worried I’m going to take my poor sleep schedule with me. Last night Justin and I tried @getsomsleep and we both loved it! I actually slept through the night without waking up every couple hours. We were both excited to @getsomsleep last night! #getsomatbigy

Can we chat about the hobbies we picked up during
