Custom Paint Consultations with Gathered Living Design
They’re backkk! Due to your requests, I am opening up spots again for custom paint consultations in your home. One of the hardest parts of home ownership and the design process is making decisions about the perfect paint colors for your home. Paint truly is the easiest and most dramatic way to transform any room or update an outdated space without spending a ton of money. Not only is it difficult to narrow down all the options available, but also to know what shades work together for trim, doors, and ceilings, as well as how to create a color scheme that will flow seamlessly from room to room. I know how hard it is hard to make these decisions on your own, which is why today I will be opening up a select number of spots for custom color consultations with me in your home!
How to Style The Most Festive Holiday Bar Cart
I’m clueless when it comes to making a cocktail BUT I love to style a bar cart, especially for the holidays! There’s so many fun ways to add some festive touches to your bar set up quickly and easily. The key is layering items properly and balancing the visual weight on the cart. You can even set the scene around your cart with more holiday decor like little Christmas trees, twinkle lights, and a colorful rug. Below I’ve listed everything you need to deck out the most festive bar cart AND step by step instructions for styling it all like a pro!
30 of the Best Artificial Christmas Trees + Where to Buy Them
Buying an artificial Christmas tree, especially online, can be quite a challenge. It’s so hard to tell what looks realistic, high-quality, and has all the features you are looking for from one small photo! Since I’ve purchased quite a few (i.e. WAY too many!) Christmas trees in my lifetime, I decided to do a round-up of all my favorites in 3 different categories. I’ve included traditional, flocked, and whimsical trees and they’re all great high-quality picks. My philosophy is that you can never have too many Christmas trees, so don’t be afraid to mix and match, or stray away from traditional styles. I have everything from flocked to colored to real to vintage style trees all throughout my home!

Easy Table Setting Tips for your Holiday Entertaining
I’m so excited to finally share this holiday table setting how-to that I worked on with the Southsider magazine and my good friend, Kayla Weber Nord. Kayla and I work together so easily and we were immediately on the same page with our vision. It also helps that each have a good collection of table setting materials to use and choose from! We wanted to put together a table setting that was neutral and classic enough for fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and beyond but also had a bit of holiday flair.
My Top Picks from Magnolia's Hearth + Hand Holiday at Target
November is here and in the retail world that means we’re already in full holiday swing! Yesterday the new holiday line was released from Magnolia’s Hearth + Hand line at Target and there are SO many great decor pieces I wanted to share with you!

Our Fixer Upper: Nursery Updates
We have less than a month (hopefully) to go before Baby Woodford’s arrival which inspired some serious nesting and nursery work this past week! I dedicated two days to putting away and organizing 2 shower’s worth of gifts and hanging shelves, artwork, curtains, and decor. We also got our overhead light installed this week, so I finally have some light in here when it’s dark out! I feel so relieved that the bulk of decorating and prep in here in complete now and I only really have a few finishing touches left which I should be able to work on this week.
