There she is 😭 In all her glory! We’ve been here a little over a month now, but I still cant believe she’s ours. Designing this home has been a process, starting with long nights sketching out ideas, working with my mom @albdesigninc to have it come to life on paper, and then working with the amazing top notch @dwelldesigned team to build it and the lovely @bekahcochranteam @lcmitchell1 for helping us through the home buying process. Through what has been one of the hardest and most challenging years of my life, building this home has been a blessing from God that we will forever be grateful for. We’ll honor his blessing by making it a home filled with special memories, lots of laughs, good food, forgiveness, patience, gatherings with friends and family, and LOVE.. lots and lots of love! Praise be to God 🙏🏼❤️🙌🏼

Swipe to see the whole process, from my original rendering to the gorgeous hand drawn sketch from my mom!

Open shelves vs closed cabinets? Just like anythin

Open shelves vs closed cabinets? Just like anything, there’s positives and negatives to both. Open shelves gives a more lived in open vibe. But cabinets offer more storage. My favorite? You guessed it.. a combination of BOTH! The biggest negative (and only negative in my opinion) of doing open shelves is the dust! So adding glass door cabinetry still gives you the open look while also protecting your dishes from dust!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think?? Do you have a favorite? Curious if you have a preference?! Also taking a poll in stories!!

Adding a touch of something old to bring history and character into a new home is key. This larger oil painting has a lot of sentimental value to me.. check out my stories today (or in “our home” highlight) to see why, and where I decided to hang it 🥰

The best I could do this year guys.. hate to disappoint, but with the house still being only about 50% unpacked, pulling out Fall decorations just isn’t happening this year 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hopefully we’ll have all our furniture (& no more boxes) in time to decorate for Christmas! Here to hoping! 🙏🏼🤞🏼

G I V E A W A Y * Busy mommas, keep reading!

Anyone else guilty of getting to dinner time not having anything on hand to feed your family? Meal prepping is great for that, but Mason usually gets left out of that equation, until now!! @littlespoon just launched their precooked toddler meals! And we’re talking fresh non gmo ingredients, hidden veggies & super foods, no preservatives, and only needs one minute in the microwave for your toddler to be eating a delicious & nutritious meal that you didn’t have to cook! HECK. YES!! And y’all, they’re GOOD!! I’m guilty of eating a few of them myself 😬. Mason absolutely loves them!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve loved partnering with @littlespoon because they really care about our kiddos, but also us mommas! They were so sweet to offer one of YOU a WEEK’S worth of these toddler meals! All you have to do to enter this giveaway is:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) like this photo
2) follow me @mariaamurphy_ & @littlespoon
3) comment on this photo and tag a friend!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s it! Each comment with a tag is 1 entry and you can enter as many times as you’d like!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Giveaway will close next Friday 10/16 at midnight. US residents only. Good luck!!

DESIGN TREND ALERT! By a raise of hands 🙋🏻‍♀️ who else is loving spaces decorated with antique/worn ceramic pots & planters? I personally can’t get enough of them! I have a fun DIY project I’ll be working on this weekend to try to achieve this same look without spendings hundreds of dollars (yes they can really be that much 😐). If it turns out 🙏🏼🤞🏼and you want me to share, let me know!

Spilling some tea... there are definitely ways you

Spilling some tea... there are definitely ways you can save money when building a house or renovating and still get the look you want! One way we chose to do that was by having a carpenter build our fireplace built ins instead of going with custom cabinetry, and boy did that save us some money!! We did the same thing with our pantry, office, and laundry room! SO worth it! And there are so many other places we chose to cut back to save money! Would you be interested in seeing everywhere we did that?
