I have an idea that I’m really really excited about, but would love to get your thoughts on it below!👇🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the idea.. when Josh and I spent time in Italy a few years back we took so. many. PICTURES!! Like thousands 😬 (swipe through to see just a few) And I am constantly turning to them for inspiration because of their natural beauty. It’s no lie when people say “everywhere you turn could be a painting”. Every view, street corner, sidewalk.. it’s all beautiful! So, why not actually turn these beautiful photographs into artwork! Thinking I could manipulate them somehow to make them look like paintings that could then be turned into framed prints. Sharing some examples of what I’m talking about in stories today! Also showing you how to use those vintage looking framed artwork in your home! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

I've been collecting and holding on to vintage ite

I've been collecting and holding on to vintage items for some time now! I have 100+ year old chairs and dressers that were passed down from my family, and I'm so excited to be building a house where I'll be able to feature them, instead of storing them in a closet. One thing I don't have yet are vintage rugs! And I've had my eye on quite a few! Tagging a bunch of my favorite vintage rug accounts below! If you have any favorite vintage rug accounts please do share and tag them below!

She’s painted!!! 😭❤️ Having to keep remin

She’s painted!!! 😭❤️ Having to keep reminding myself how excited I am about this new house.. bc y’all, this week has been hard! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve finally moved out of our first home and into an apartment until this new home is ready, but saying goodbye to our first home has been 10x harder than I ever expected.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I need to cheer up and focus on what’s ahead!! And what’s ahead is SO exciting!!

Benjamin Moore Mascarpone AF-20 (White brick, Board & Batten & window trim)
Benjamin Moore Pashmina AF-100 (Tan fascia & soffits)

BEST. PASTA. EVER! And guess how many ingredients?

BEST. PASTA. EVER! And guess how many ingredients?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TWO! Yes you read that right.. you only need TWO ingredients to make delicious homemade pasta!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always said I wanted to take a cooking class in Italy, so when Josh and I were there, that was the top of this list of things to do! And oh man, did it live up to the expectation! (Swipe to see more pictures from the class)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Y’all know I’ve been reminiscing big time on my trips to Italy.. from when I was just a kid visiting my grandparents, to this last trip a few years ago with Josh. And it’s not just the beauty of your surroundings there that offer up inspiration. It’s the FOOD! But I’m guessing you’re not surprised by that at all 🥰 Italian food is the best! And it’s the best because it’s so fresh and SIMPLE! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As soon as we’re in the new house I’ll be doing a series of videos on TRUE Italian cooking! Thinking this homemade pasta is going to have to be top of this list! Let me know what other foods you’d like me to share?! Tomato sauce, ragu, meatballs, gnocchi, pizza, lasagna, seafood, proteins, potatoes, veggies? All of the above?! 😋

You’re the best ❤️ And we’re the luckiest

You’re the best ❤️ And we’re the luckiest 🥰 Happy Father’s Day @murphy__josh! And so sorry I just realized, this morning, that I should have got you movers for Father’s Day 😬 #HappyFathersDay #movingday

Tuscan kitchen of my dreams 😍 We took so many pictures of this kitchen during our cooking class bc we knew we’d want to draw inspiration from it one day! All in the little effortless details. Love that Josh and I are in this picture completely unintentionally 😂 Let me know if you see it!

First, I want to thank you for your understanding

First, I want to thank you for your understanding and respect as I chose to step back last week and only share what was heaviest on my heart. It says a lot that not one single person reached out or commented with hate or negativity. That gives me hope that we are all in agreement, the world needs more love and understanding right now. My prayer is that we continue to come together, share stories, backgrounds, listen, learn and support! We are all different (which is such a beautiful thing) and coming together is what we all want and need ❤️ Let’s continue to build this beautiful, loving and lasting relationship and respect for our differences. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be honest, it still doesn’t feel quite right to jump back in. But in effort to provide some joy, I want to continue to offer you all a place to feel comfortable, inspired, included and welcomed. That’s always been the name of the game for me! ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, I never got the chance to thank all of you who entered the rug giveaway 🥰 That was so much fun and I think you all really loved it! Let me know what you thought and if you want to see more giveaways like that in the future!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Again, I can’t say this enough... thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

This is not about anti-cops, this is not about oth

This is not about anti-cops, this is not about other lives and voices not mattering, this is not about supporting violence or looting.. this is about HUMANITY.. it’s about showing our African American community they are being seen and they are loved!! If you’re able to drop your pride, look inward, and know in your beautiful heart that you love ALL of God’s children, this is a very easy thing to do! ❤️#blackouttuesday
