I finished up our master bath water closet last night. 🙌🏻 This black and white modern florals statement wall looks like fancy wallpaper...but it’s so much easier. Full details are up on the blog along with the DIY tutorial for the Hand-Lettered “Take a Seat” Sign. Swipe for more pics!

I spent Memorial Day with a book in my hands and it was time well spent. Best book I’ve read in a while! ⁣ ⁣ If books got standing ovations, 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘌𝘥𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 would deserve one. ⁣ ⁣ It is the story of Edward Adler, a 12-year-old boy who is the sole survivor of a plane crash that kills all of the other 191 passengers, including Edward’s family.⁣ ⁣ This story easily could have been told in a manner that was heavy and depressing because the storyline, at its core, was both of these things.⁣ ⁣ Remarkably, Napolitano managed to tell this poignant story with an undertone of quiet strength, perseverance, and hope that better days are coming.⁣ ⁣ While Edward’s story was the most unimaginably tragic, every character had their own traumas and battles. In day to day life, we don’t see everyone’s inner struggles. In this book, we were privy to them all, and that created a unity of sorts that seemed to say, “Being a human is hard, but life is worth living, and we are all in this together”.⁣ ⁣ Part two of the book opens with this quote, which I think perfectly sums up the main takeaway from this story: “What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?” -George Eliot⁣ ⁣ Beautifully, beautifully written. A must-read.

Happy Saturday!⁣ ⁣ I’ve been sharing sneak peeks in my IG stories, but we finished up the DIY Board and Batten wall behind our bed. 🙌🏻⁣ ⁣ It’s an easy and inexpensive way to add charm and character to a room. Swipe for more pics. ⁣ ⁣ We also did a wall in the half bath and two small walls in our living room. It was an all day project, but it made sense to tackle all three rooms while we had all the tools and painting supplies out.⁣ ⁣ I shared step-by-step instructions for how we did this in our stairwell a few weekends ago on the blog. We used the exact same method for all the walls we did yesterday.⁣ ⁣ Shop our master bedroom style in the @liketoknow.it app or by visiting http://liketk.it/2PqQ5 ⁣ ⁣ #liketkit #LTKhome #StayHomeWithLTK #charlestonblogger #charlestonhome #modernfarmhousestyle

A little more Charleston charm for you. How picturesque are these house numbers? ⁣ ⁣ Swipe to see more of the adorable gated entrance. I just love when greenery climbs the walls. 😍⁣ ⁣ In other news, I finally started venturing out a bit this week (with a mask 😷). I struggle with allergic asthma so I’ve been extra cautious these past two months. Up until this week, I’d only really left the house for some outdoor exercise.⁣ ⁣ It felt weird but nice to do my own grocery shopping and take the dog to the vet (they’re doing curbside service only).⁣ ⁣ I’m currently sitting at my dermatologists office about to get my third PICO laser treatment to remove two old tattoos. It’s super painful but also super quick and I’ve been so impressed with how fast it’s fading my tattoos. Soon it will be like they were never there.⁣ ⁣ Have you ventured out yet? How was it?⁣ ⁣ Everywhere I’ve gone so far has done a great job with the masks and new procedures to keep everyone safe. It’s nice to have a little human interaction again, even if it’s still from a 6ft distance!

Quiet early morning walks around historic downtown Charleston will never, ever get old. I love this city so much. ❤️

Do good intentions of working for several hours count as being productive during these extraordinary Coronavirus circumstances?⁣ ⁣ I cleaned my office, downed two cashew milk lattes, and yet somehow I still lost my motivation to actually sit down and work. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ⁣ ⁣ Maybe it’s the fact that one of my three kids pops in every few minutes to ask for eLearning help or share random facts like “VSCO girls carry Hydroflasks, mom. Can you please get me one?” 🙄⁣ ⁣ Me after she left the room: “Hey Siri, what the hell is a VSCO girl?” ⁣ ⁣ Siri was just as confused as I am. 🤣

That time I bought a new couch online without seeing it in person. 🙈 Would you ever buy⁣ a big piece of furniture online?⁣ ⁣ The good news is it came (a week early!) and we are SO happy with it. The color and fabric texture are exactly what we expected and it’s super comfy.⁣ ⁣ If you’ve seen past photos of my living room, we still have all the cute settees, we just re-arranged rooms a bit to make this space a more comfortable and family-friendly.⁣ ⁣ All this time at home made us realize that, as much as we loved the settees, we missed being able to lay down and Netflix binge! 😂⁣ ⁣ Shop my look in the @liketoknow.it app or visit this link: http://liketk.it/2O6oG ⁣ ⁣ #liketkit #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKhome #charlestonblogger #charlestonbloggers #shopylook #stayhome #coastalfarmhouse #coastalfarmhousestyle #housecleaningday
