“Design can be more than just a beautiful space to live in; it can quietly tell the story of our lives.”

If you were to walk through my home, you’d see pretty things, garbage-picked things, new things, clutter-y things, unfinished things, dirty things… And as much as that should bring me stress, it doesn’t. It’s a snapshot of truth from the story of my life right now. To say we’re busy in this season is putting it nicely. VERY nicely. We’re going everywhere, at all times; every minute of every day. And so… the ‘design things’ aren’t getting as much attention as they used to. It’s taking us a little longer to finish a project + we’ve crossed some off our list as they just aren’t important anymore.

Maybe the busy-ness comes from the world opening back up again + we’re excited to live life. Or maybe it’s because we have 3 kids in soccer, 5 pets, an unfinished house, 3 jobs, church + flat out LIVES to live. Whatever the reason, this season is a season. It has a beginning and an end. (THANK YOU JESUS.) That means we won’t be moving at this pace forever. And so. No guilt needed, only GRACE. Much needed grace.

Busy-ness is a choice. And in this crazy season, I pray that my heart leads me, not my head. I pray that I hold things loosely so ‘when’ they don’t work out how I want, I’m not all bent out of shape. I pray that I choose ‘living life’ versus ‘doing life’.

Oh how precious are the stories that are being written right now. 🤍

You had me at Restoration Hardware 🤩

Would you believe me if I said I found this 2 year old RH slip-covered, linen couch on Facebook Marketplace??? Full price at RH is $3695. This girl paid $250. I literally Venmo’d the seller before even seeing it 🙈.

What would you have done? Am I a crazy girl??? 🥴😜

A small piece of burning or glowing coal or wood in a dying fire.

At the end of the day, when you feel like there’s nothing left of you.
When there’s nothing left to give your spouse.
When there’s nothing left to give your kids.
Your job.
Your home.
Your goals.
Your calendar.

Look for the embers.
The things… the people… your God, who is still burning amidst the dying fire. 🤍

After 19 years of marriage, we finally updated our bed + bedding 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨. Not sure why it took so long… but 💯 it was SO WORTH IT.

For the bed, I wanted upholstered as our last one was painted wood. Love the softness + the price point. The bedding is from Target, Pottery Barn + Goodwill 😳. Yep! I just said that a piece of our bedding came from a thrift store. But before you disown me, did you know that Target donates their new merch to local Goodwills? So the Casaluna quilt that snuggles up next to my face at night was thrifted… for $20 ya’ll… That’s $100 cheaper than full price 💃.

Cozy, luxurious + on trend doesn’t have to equal $$$$. It’s all about balance + thinking outside the box. 👍🏻

When you can’t thrift, buy from Target 😆. But seriously, thrifting is always my go-to, but these are sooooo hard to pass up!! The chalky/matte/textured goodness is calling to me!

Wooden things.
My favorite way to decorate + warm up any space

She’s up!! And I’m loving the simplicity of this DIY art 🙌🏻 Peak into my stories for the how-to of turning this out-dated, thrown-out canvas into a fresh + modern piece. Truly a beauty of becoming, right?? What do you think of the changes so far? PS: I think my rug comes tomorrow 🤩. http://liketk.it/3g6zD #liketkit @liketoknow.it

A family room redesign design board! Can’t wait to bring this room to life by decluttering + simplifying. http://liketk.it/3fZGC #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The beauty of becoming: discovering that after all these years, you’re also a curator, not just a designer. And oh how that describes me to the very core of who I am. Curator: one who organizes a collection of found items. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I. Could. Cry. For THAT is what my purpose is. THAT is who God created me to be when He knit me together in my mother’s womb. THAT is where I find joy. And so, on this journey of a rebirth of sorts, I will continue to collect + organize all my “found” things, + oh, my heart included. 😉 More details of my office redesign on the blog. 🤍 #linkinprofile http://liketk.it/3fg9k #liketkit @liketoknow.it

My daily makeup routine 😍. I use bronzer for my shadow + cocoa from the Huda palette on the corners of my eyes. I also use the brow pencil on my bottom + outer eyes. (I don’t use it for my brows because they are micro bladed.) http://liketk.it/3dXRZ #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Bets on how long she’ll stay naked. 🙈
If you’ve been around a while, it’s no secret that I don’t love decorating my tree. I’d honestly prefer her to remain bare, but always cave + pretty her up anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Anyone else relate? http://liketk.it/33lfE #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I’m gonna have crunchy garland ALL. OVER. MY. HOUSE. #babyitsworthit http://liketk.it/33ldP #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Anyone else have a love relationship with wooden bowls? 😍 I just can’t with them. http://liketk.it/31AAu #liketkit @liketoknow.it

These days I’ve been chasing simplicity. I think we ALL need even just a sliver of that right now. And in an effort to create that in my home, lots of “things” gotta go. And by things, I mean “small things that I still love but there’s too many of them which creates too much busyness which then brings me too much stress because my eyes are bouncing around everywhere”. 👍🏻😉 You get what I mean?
So... I swapped out all the little things + replaced them with larger, “like” items. And oh does it bring me joy. There’s a calmness in my spirit when I look at this cabinet now. Not a bunch of chochkies (🤷🏼‍♀️) but only beautiful, peaceful, simple items. (inhale, exhale). Now on to the rest of my house... 🥴✨ http://liketk.it/31oEw #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Last week I had the privilege of meeting our bedroom makeover giveaway winner, Bree. What a treasure she truly is!! To witness her little body, that has endured so much, being driven by her warrior spirit was more than I could handle. Watch my stories for the video reveal!! ✨ http://liketk.it/30Rdq #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Today I choose joy. Today I choose to do the things + surround myself with anything that brings joy to my heart.
✔️ Cozy (battery operated) candles
✔️ Collecting chicken eggs
✔️ Christmas music 🤪
✔️ Sourcing furniture for clients
✔️ Family dinner
What kinds of things bring you joy?? 👇🏻👇🏻

✨FALL 2020 Makeover Giveaway UPDATE ✨
What a beautiful time we had designing + installing this bedroom for Bree! When all was said + done, we didn’t want to leave the room because we loved it so much 🥰.
This room was a gift to a special 7 year old who has endured sooo much this past couple of months. Back in September, she had a sudden heart attack, followed by a stroke, followed by another heart attack, followed by a heart transplant. 😔 What a brave little girl to go through so, so much! And I’m thrilled beyond compare to share that she is recovering amazingly + is a walking miracle! Our hope + prayer is that this room brings a smile to her face + joy within her (new) heart as she arrives home. (Video to come soon!)
Many, many thanks to the army of beautiful people who gave of their time, talents + pocketbooks to make this happen. May Jesus bless you so much!! http://liketk.it/307eI #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Well, virtual school mama’s, we made it to the end of the day 🙌🏻 💃 🥳 The Thurman’s day turned out pretty darn well considering “all the things + all the emotions” 😳 I mean, we only had one Zoom issue at the very start of the day (followed by some colorful words, ahem...) but everything ended just fine. 🥴 Cheers that Day 2 is as smooth as a beautiful + calm canoe ride with your favorite person!! 🛶🤍 #wecanonlyhope #andpray #oreatchocolate #orjalapenochips #orhalotop 😬

One of the most common questions I get is, “How do you get your home to feel so homey?” My answer is the same every time: With a mix of old and new. This helps your space feel lived in and not straight outta a home catalog. 🙈 I’ll touch on this more in depth tomorrow for Tip Tuesday, but until then, I’m loving the addition of my sweet sister’s cowhide rug layered over my original rug. ❤️ http://liketk.it/2KbJG #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Ya’ll, I finally joined the world of air frying and I LOVE IT! And thank goodness we had THE perfect counter spot for it! 🙌🏻 The one I chose is for a larger family with two trays, no bucket. So far we’ve done almost every protein, French fries, & chips. What’s your fav AF recipe? I’d love to add it to my list!! 👇🏻 http://liketk.it/2JZJZ #liketkit @liketoknow.it
