feels like home
Welcome to my little corner of the internet…but it’s less of a corner and more like a whole house. So come on in!
Much like a good DIY or home renovation, life can be a little messy sometimes, and it’s very likely that there’s dust everywhere. But that is what we’re all about over here. Creating the magnificent from the mundane, and enjoying every part of the process along the way!
At the core of who we are —
simple living, repurposed goods, and thoughtful design.
What’s been happening on the ‘gram?
↠ We’ve officially begun our little kitchen beautification (I don’t think I can really call it a renovation hahaha) and I am beyond excited to give this old, grimy kitchen some new life! It is one of the last rooms in our home that we haven’t fixed up at all since moving in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We aren’t doing any major upgrades—— no new cabinets, countertops, or appliances. But we’re going to work with what we do have and a pretty small budget to see we can spruce it up a bit so it can be a beautiful, more enjoyable space to be in! Part 02 is coming soon, where we install something new and do a bit of painting! I cannot wait to see this project all finished!

↠ Nothing groundbreaking here, just an old $8 Marketplace spice rack turned into a cozy towel holder. Let this be your reminder to think outside the box, and also have fun. It sounded like a silly idea until it all came together, and now I can’t imagine it any other way!

Would love to know your favorite thrift flip you’ve done?

↠ Tiny spaces make the coziest spaces, repeat after me! Truly though, I adore having a smaller home and rooms with a smaller footprint. Things really do feel that much cozier when you don’t have too much space to fill. So if you also have a home on the small side, count it a blessing! Less to furnish and less to clean! Also, I just needed this shower curtain to be shared with the world.

Comment “bathroom” for the links to my decor, hardware, and everything else in this room!

↠ That feeling when your first baby isn’t the baby anymore. Oh it’s so very bittersweet! Had to take the opportunity yesterday to recreate a video from almost two years ago with my big boy! What a treasure it is to be able to watch them grow, mamas. Here’s your soft reminder to soak it all in.

↠ One of my favorite things to do every evening after the boys are in bed is clean up their play area and “reset” their toys for the next day. The other night we decided to give it a little upgrade with this new play mat and I’m in awe! 10/10 upgrade as this is wipeable. Good ridden to the stained rug! Comment ‘play mat’ for the link to this exact mat for your kids. It’s so beautiful! #playroomideas #playmat #toyorganization

↠ A Little Bear birthday playdate celebration for our sweet two year old! I can’t even believe that our little baby boy is two. What a journey! We had the best time making his favorite books and tv show come to life! Surprisingly, almost all of his friends adore Little Bear too! Did any of you grow up watching it? I certainly did!
I had to get creative with the party decor since there aren’t really Little Bear themed items out there to purchase, but it was so fun piecing it all together! If you want the link to my party supplies, comment ‘Little Bear’ and I will send it all to you in a message! Any other questions, leave them below and I would be happy to chat!

↠ Morning rhythms are my number one essential to starting the day. We begin our days the same each morning, and I think it’s so helpful for our children to come to know those daily rhythms—— a gentle hug to their little nervous systems!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since it’s the beginning of the year, I thought it might be helpful to anyone feeling that “what should I do first” feeling, to share how I structure every morning to set us up for success throughout the day!

Special thank you to @twopagescurtains for being my source of inspiration for this post. Their curtains are so weighted, soft, and luxury feeling. The most stunning I’ve ever owned. These are the Linen Pleated Drapes, Pinch Pleat header, Taupe Grey color (which is a dusty brown tone in my opinion, so lovely). They are memory trained which helps them keep the pleated look. Absolutely in love! #twopageshome

So speaking of curtains, opening them is the first thing I do every morning. Cannot start the day without letting that morning light in! Then it’s followed by——
• switch clothes from washer into dryer
• empty dishwasher
• breakfast
• refill dishwasher / hand wash dishes
• wipe down countertops
• make beds / tidy up bedrooms
• whole house vacuum
These are my non-negotiable tasks that must be completed before I really feel like the day is started. Beginning with a fresh home every morning puts us in the best position to enjoy the day! I’d love to know, what are your morning rhythms for your household? I’m sure it would helpful to others to get some more inspiration too!

the gal you want to go thrifting with.
Greetings, I’m Alivia —— I’m a photographer and DIY’er with a deep appreciation for simple living, repurposed goods, and thoughtful design.
My love for intentional design and a good thrift find has heavily influenced my work as a photographer. I used to pride myself on traveling to at least eleven countries a year and kept a note of how many flights I had ever been on, but then we bought a house and everything changed. Now I find moments of peace right here at home, when the afternoon light hits the wall just right, when my throw pillows look perfectly imperfect on the couch, and when I stumble upon a hundred year old thrift find. I’m all about turning the mundane into the magnificent, and enjoying all the moments in between, cause that’s the good stuff! Things that inspire me: times of rest, frolicking through a wheat field, the color beige, and feeling the presence of our divine Creator. So whether in a flower covered field, refreshing a space in my own home, or strolling through a small town antique shop, I strive to tell visual stories by embracing natural beauty, the thoughtfully repurposed, and the simplicity that comes along with making a house a home for the modern day homestead.
