Lately, I have been trying to embrace the coziness the house can bring during the frigid Winter months. It can get quite dreery and drab outside and it can most certainly drag your mood down, especially after the twinkle lights of Christmas have faded. But listen, just because the weather may be yuck and unwelcome, that doesn’t mean you have to feel that way in your home. I am a firm believer in surrounding yourself with what makes you feel good and happy to be home. With that being said, I have been on the hunt for staple peices and Amazon…

Christmas is less than a week away and that means it will soon be time to start preparing to transition your home decor from festive to something more seasonal. I love decorating for winter because by-nature things are more simple. I love the shades of whites and woods found in nature during this time of year and it is the perfect time to bring a little bit of the outdoors inside…where it’s warm. This project utilizes sticks from the yard, seriously it doesn’t get any cheaper AND upcycled garland that I found at the thrift store a couple weeks ago. I…

I have been dreaming of decorating this mantle and fireplace and tonight I am so excitied to finally be sharing it with you! The new home we just moved into has this amazing concrete stone gas fireplace with a large wooden mantle. Eventually I plan to whitewash the stone and brighten up the entire room but this year I decorated it as-is and I couldn’t be happier! The best part of this whole set up is the nice blend of thrifted finds and new items that come together to create a rustic, yet elegant and cozy look. This look all began…

I am seeing these adorable ceramic nesting houses all over the place. Not only do they make adorable additions to your Christmas decor, they are also great piences to have sitting out year round. My favorite part you may ask? The simplicity, of course. I like to keep things neutral over here at R+R and these little beauties just simply make me happy. These are just your basic 2x cut to a point so that they resemble a rooftop. My lengths from bottom to tip are 10,7, and 5 inches. Cut them yourself or simply order a set HERE Then, paint…

Oh my goodness, I jut absolutely LOVE a beautifully styled mantle. They are easily the focal point of an entire room and deserve to be the center of attention! Up until just recently (when we closed on our new home) I have not had a mantle to play with and decorate. I have spent sooo many hours browsing Pinterest for inspiration for the beautiful feature in our new home and of course I thought I would share some of my favorite winter styles with y’all. One thing you will notice about this collection is all the neutrals! Neutrals are my jam…

I orginally shared this project over on my Facebook page. It was such a hit I decided to write it down step for step for easy reference later. Go ahead and save this one to your Christmas Pinterest board…you will thank me later! It all started with a piece of scrapwood or you can get a pre-cut wood block HERE and my favorite shade of white, Alabaster by Sherwin Williams. After painting my wood block I cut a piece of hymnal paper in a basic house, or in this case, stable shape. This step can easily be subsituted with an old…
