They say home is where the heart is. I guess, for me anyway, this is so true as my husband and I have put so much heart into making our house a home. Being surrounded by things that I love like beautiful books, family heirlooms, wedding photos, and my husbands favorite recipe books warms my heart.
Tray: West Elm, Teapot: vintage from my Grandmother, Teacups: vintage from my Great-Grandmother

I like to fill my home with a mix of new and old treasures. There’s a little bit of his and some of mine combined with things we have got together. Sure, we have a coffee table from Ikea….and a bunch of other stuff too. Who doesn’t? Decorating your home should be just like getting dressed. I might wear my fave skinny designer jeans with an inexpensive t-shirt and vintage leather jacket. In my house I combine my Ikea coffee table with a chic tray and vintage family pieces. It’s in how each of us choose our personal mixes that gives us our unique style.

What’s your at home style? Are you all about sleek modern lines or classic and cozy?
