Over the past three weeks, we've shared the inspiration behind our latest projects; The Pierce, The Eisley and The Cameron Lounge. Before I start any project, I pull together a design inspiration board filled with images, textiles, and anything that inspires me.
Read MoreLast but certainly not the least, we are sharing our inspiration behind our new outdoor space, The Cameron Lounge. The Cameron Lounge will connect The Cozy Cottages and will be a gathering area to unwind, have fun and kick back with a couple games of cornhole. We want this space to evoke a freshness and have an element of fun, kind of like our daughter, Cameron!
Read MoreWe're back this week with more inspiration behind our latest project: The Cozy Cottages! This week I am sharing the inspiration behind The Eisley Cottage, named after our sweet and spunky daughter. The Eisley will feel a little more girly and feminine and will reflect her shining personality with surprising design elements, and lots of fun sparkle!
Read MoreWe are so happy to have finally shared the news with you about our latest project, The Cozy Cottages! These next couple weeks we'll be sharing our inspiration for both cottages, as well as the outdoor patio. We lovingly named each after our children; The Pierce, Eisley and The Cameron Lounge.
Read MoreWe couldn't be more excited to FINALLY share the news with you! Soon, our property will encompass four lodging options with our latest additions - The Cozy Cottages. The two cottages will be named lovingly after our children, The Pierce and The Eisley, and will be centered with an outdoor patio area filled with hammocks, lounges, and games, named after our eldest, The Cameron Lounge.
Read MoreIt's no secret that Pinterest is a powerful tool for small businesses and we have seen it do wonderous things to help grow ours. Through sharing images of our home and what inspires us on Pinterest, we have built a following that in turn has helped get our home published in books and magazines, drive sales to our webshop and attract guests from all over the world.
Read MoreThe kitchens in both Boho and No.1450 were created with our guests in mind. We have loved watching events take shape in the space and watch people naturally gravitate towards the kitchen bar in No.1450.
Read MoreThis past spring at Marburger, we found these absolutely amazing aged glass panes at the Counter Culture booth, owned by Chad Kilgore. By the time we got there, Chad had already sold all of them, which was so sad! But luckily, he was able to secure a few more once he went back home to Kansas City. We were able to snag a few from this sought-after collection.
Read MoreBack in its day, this vintage French sign may have served as a signal post for military traffic or a town road sign. Today, it serves as a sign post from the past with the its vintage paint and worn edges.
We found this cool sign in the French town of Marseilles, which is a beautiful beach town on the water. As we explored and took in the sights, you could really feel the soul of this old French town. It was such an incredible experience visiting this amazing place, much less being able to shop for priceless antiques there.
This vintage sign is an authentic French piece. Today there is a tremendous amount of vintage and antique knock-offs, so there's something to be said about the soul and stories carried with an authentic piece. We think this sign was used on a military road, so each man or woman who drive by it had a story and a reason for being there. That's the soul that these pieces carry with them throughout the years.
This charmingly worn sign can bring a bit of French nostalgia to your home decor. Lean it on a shelf among other cherished trinkets or hang it amid your gallery wall.

As I'm sure you've heard/seen by now, we re-painted the exterior of the house from blue to Nordic black! We gave a little sneak peek back in February, but today we're posting additional photos and giving a little more background into the Modern Vintage Style choice. If you haven't yet, you can read more about my family's Scandinavian heritage and how that played into our black color choice in our Sneak Peek post.
There are about a million different shades of black, so it's always hard to make a choice. Especially when so many are just ever so slightly different. But, we ended up picking this particular shade, which is Valspar Lincoln Cottage. We liked that is was a true black, and did not have overt purple or blue undertones. We felt like it paired best with the white trim and stained wood.
Along with picking the color, we also had to pick a finish. From flat to eggshell and satin to gloss, there are so many choices and things to think about when choosing a finish. We decided to go with the satin finish because it gives the black a silky quality and it's much more durable than flat. And we feel that the satin finish matched the Modern Vintage Style the best.
We loved the idea of black and white, not only because of my Scandinavian heritage, but also because it is very clean and modern. We added the stained wood for warmth and interest. We couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Early on, Smoot and I decided that we wanted to provide our kids with travel and experiences over material goods. We really value traveling to new places and experiencing new things and we wanted to instill that in our kids as well.
Read MoreNext up in our Modern Vintage Style Summer Picks series are blueberries! Blueberries are by far my favorite fruit and they always taste extra yummy on a hot summer day.
Read MoreOne of the main things we look for in a Modern Vintage Style piece is the story behind it. We love to gather pieces with a heritage that can be repurposed into something new, while still maintaining the historical integrity. These sage-scented Antique Snuff Candles are the perfect example.
Read MoreIt's getting warmer and warmer outside, which means it's time for swimsuits and sandals, fresh summer fruit, and long-awaited getaways! After this crazy busy year of hard work on Boho, we decided to take our family on a much-needed vacation this summer.
Read MoreWe've added some great new vintage items to the shop, and wanted to highlight a few of them for you here. Mother's Day, Graduation, and Father's Day are all coming up, and all of these unique finds would make lovely gifts. Or a great gift for yourself!
Read MoreAs many of you know, we are hosting a summer session of our Business, Branding & Social Media Workshop on June 3! We're so excited to expand this workshop to an all day event with panels in the morning and hands-on breakout sessions in the afternoon. We are also excited to look for another round of swag bag contributors!
Read MoreIf these showers mean anything, it's that spring is upon us! Spring usually invokes lots of colorful imagery and vibrant flowers, but this year, we're focusing on the absence of color in our spring style. Simply focusing on green and white can be just as striking and vibrant as a bouquet of colorful flowers.
Read MoreThis week, we're following up on a post we did last summer about antique brass. We had bought this antique brass shower head awhile ago and are so excited that it's finally installed!
Read MoreIf you've been following us for a little while, you may have noticed we made a big change to the property! We've hinted at it in the past few months, but we decided to paint both the new Boho cottage and the No.1450 cottage Nordic black!
Read MoreThis week we're showcasing the vanity in the Guest Bathroom. We originally found these rusted, perforated metal sheets at EX-CESS during one of the Round Top Antiques Shows.
