holiday refresh + natural red oak hardwood floors

happy new year! i hope your Christmas 2022 was beautiful + refreshing!

Though many of you follow along on Instagram, I wanted to take a moment to share my hardwood floor refinish + install here on the blog, figuring it would be the perfect place to pin images if you're looking to refresh your interior too. 

I know there are so many resources out there, but decisions to renovate are always an evolution. I tapped into advice from other interior designers, gathered images and created mood boards on milanote (love that app). Painting a fresh coat of Chantilly Lace (inspired by Isabella) was the perfect place to start, then painting the stair railings black truly transformed the space (here's the pin that swayed me). The key though was installing new hardwoods + refinishing the originals. We opted for a natural finish using Bona, hiring local experts from On Point Flooring. It was quite a task making this home project work amidst life's crazy, but oh so worth it.

Here's a sneak peek into my home this past holiday. All the ornaments, wreaths + bottlebrush trees are packed up now and I'm ready for the reset of a new year. How about you?

wishing you + yours much joy, goodness, peace, and pretty moments in 2023!

loving lately

 

Just checking in to share a few loves lately. Like 

Natural movement in stone
Sun shadows
Gold fixtures + faucets
B+W art
Vintage glass

and
Pretty desserts

Just paying the inspiration forward.

I have long admired Athena Calderone of Eyeswoon and her inspiring kitchen with open shelving dreams, wall sconces to die for + all around swoon-worthy inspiration for "living beautiful." Of course, I'm also loving her podcast "More Than One Thing." If you haven't taken a listen yet, do yourself a favor and do so asap.

I also saved this stunning kitchen nook of friend + designer Kelley Vieregg. I always love the simplicity and beauty of a tulip table, a built-in banquette and striking B+W art. 

This vintage glass inspiration is from one of my personal Instagram favorites Ashley Kane. It is definitely motivating me to take a trip, virtual or otherwise to do a little vintage shopping. 

And though my recent Valentine charcuterie may not have looked quite as amazing as Athena's kitchen spread, I enjoyed making beautiful food in February to enjoy with family. 

My most recent discovery for baking inspo + visual candy (literally + figuratively) is Zoe Bakes. I just watched her tutorial of creating a rustic Pavlova (a twist on this tutu-shaped meringue-magic dessert), and I'm ready to dive in.

What's been inspiring you lately? Do tell. 

Happy March ya'll! xo
