rustic entryway table with holiday decor


I decked out our entryway table with a mishmash of trees and dollar store ornaments. On the wall, I kept it simple with a plain green wreath in front of an old window and draped a homemade garland from one side of the barn wood to the other.

To add some cozy, I grabbed a basket and stuffed it with a pillow and throw.

For our builtins, I kept things simple (shocking, I know) and draped a table runner over the top of the shelf and added a few pillows along with another throw.

Around the corner, I topped the bookshelf with another table runner – because you really can’t have too much buffalo check, can you?!

Speaking of buffalo check, I went on a throw pillow-making spree last month and sewed so. many. pillow. covers.

I love the pops of red and black against the gray couch.

For the coffee table, another table runner… Then I put some dried eucalyptus (leftover from the five minute centerpiece a few weeks ago) and added faux cranberry stems.

I did a similar floral setup in the kitchen – dried eucalyptus with faux cranberry stems on the kitchen island. And of course, no holiday home would be complete without a cranberry scented candle 🙂

I kept it simple for the open shelves – added a homemade garland across the top and a small Christmas tree.

Last, but not least, we tried a new spot in the living room for the Christmas tree and we love it. Since we didn’t have the half wall up this time last year, we had the tree in front of the large picture window closer to the kitchen.

The addition of the half wall creates really nice separation and a perfect nook for the tree. The dogs aren’t too impressed because it blocks one of their favorite spots for window watching, but it’s in the perfect vantage point for the entryway window.

    Your home looks lovely and inviting decorated for Christmas. I love all of the buffalo check that you used. That pattern says Christmas to me and ups the coziness of your space. Your coffee table and island centerpieces are both so pretty. I need some dried Eucalyptus in my life! Thanks for hosting the blog hop. I hope you and Brett have a wonderful Christmas.

Last summer, Brett and I didn’t get out on the w Last summer, Brett and I didn’t get out on the water at all – not once did we take the boat out.

Given the fact that we live in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, I felt like the worst Minnesotan. How could we not enjoy the water when there’s three within five miles of our house?

This year? We've been able to get out on some body of water at least once per week - how cool is that?!

What’s been really great about these last few months is that we’ve seemed to have found a nice “balance” between go-go-go and taking time to enjoy whatever it may be.

While this season of relaxed work is probably not the norm, it's been a pleasant surprise that we'll be enjoying for as long as we can!

Enjoy the week, friends!

We have to add trim to the slider, install the baseboards and frame up + install the pantry door.

And then...

This kitchen will be DONE! 🙌
Yesterday, #ontheblog we did a mid-year check in o Yesterday, #ontheblog we did a mid-year check in on our renovation list and shared two new projects we're adding (of course!)

The second addition? Giving a little refresh to this laundry room by pushing back the washer, dryer and cabinets.

We finished it wayyyy back in 2017 but there was a small frustration: the washer and dryer cover the window.

Every few months we'd circle back to the space and see how we could make it work. It was one of those little issues that might not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but here's the thing - you deserve to LOVE your home.

After four and a half years of constant projects, I often find myself wondering why in the hell we are doing this and I keep coming back to this idea that a home is meant to be loved, to share a story, to work for you, to be a space that you can relax in and enjoy.

So while the washer and dryer covering a window might be insignificant to a visitor, for us, it's something we see every day. And, after three years of brainstorming, we finally found a solution that felt good.

I guess that's the bonus of being four years into a reno - the idea of knocking down a wall seems like an easy project nowadays 😂😂

Sometimes, it's not all rainbows and butterflies.. Sometimes, it's not all rainbows and butterflies... especially when it comes to neighbors.

New post #ontheblog today all about the lawsuit we've been in with our neighbor for the last year. And it started all because of our garage.

In short: three years ago the county required us to get a survey done on our property in order to build the garage. The results showed that the easement our neighbor was using to access her property was not in the right place - it was inside our property lines instead of outside.

Fast forward to July 2, 2019 when we were served lawsuit paperwork from said neighbor, claiming the rights to the easement location - and it's been a long, stressful process since then.

But, we received the good news last week from our lawyer - everything is finalized and we can finally put this whole mess behind us!

Cheers to starting the week off on a high note!

In other news, Brett scored big time and found a giant rug for our living room - it was half off and arrived last week. Now we're patiently waiting until we get the new floors down until we roll it out. Check the stories if you want to get a sneak peak!😁😁 Enjoy the day, my friends!

Brett showed up around dinner time and proceeded to spend the next hour in a water + cake fight with six kids under 10.

Yup, I'm married to an adult child. 😂😂 Kidding aside - I had one of those 'I love summer' moments, watching them all run around outside, laughing their heads off.

Hope you're enjoying the start to your week, friends! 🙌
So, here's the deal. The kitchen tile project was So, here's the deal. The kitchen tile project was not all sunshine and roses.

Two words: dried grout.

On the plus side, you can in fact clean dried grout from tile. On the negative, it's a complete pain in the ass... And doesn't get you back too 100%. #ontheblog today, I'm diving into all the details on how we cleaned the tile... And the (now funny?) story on how it even happened in the first place (hint: renovating with your husband on an empty stomach never has a positive outcome) 😂
The last four years have been a constant experimen The last four years have been a constant experiment of finding the balance between function and design.

We started this entryway with white built-ins and light walls. Damn it looked good in pictures but real life? With two black dogs and a lake... Well let's just say the functionality of the design choices were at an all time low.

So, we overhauled the space and darkened the walls and built-ins. While I was a little nervous to go so dark, I have to admit Brett's instincts were right one this one.

So, here's to continuing to find that balance of function and design - and I'd love hear, have you compromised anything because it just didn't fit with how your family lives in your home?!?
