For Sale: Cocoa + Hearts Painting


Happy Monday! We are currently updating Hudson's bedroom to a "big boy" room and sadly don't have any space for our Cocoa + Hearts commissioned piece. Any serious inquires in purchasing can email me at nicole.guidetostyle@gmail.com for all the details or with any questions. I would like to get close to what I paid for since her pieces are hard to come by! If you aren't familiar with Jen's work check it out here... we have another large piece in our dining room that I'm so obsessed with [check it out here], she is such a wonderful artist! I'd love to send this to a home that can enjoy it as much as we have! XOXO

Decor: Recent Home Updates


We've been in our house almost a year now and I still haven't finished decorating. I seem to lose steam easily especially after some recent disastrous ordering experiences [backorders, damaged items being sent, etc]. The baby shower we are hosting in a few weeks is proving to be good motivation to try to work on a room or two and I'm especially looking forward to seeing this Max Wagner photo and this Serena & Lily rug in person! Would love for you to share any favorite recent decor purchases to help give me some inspiration for the rest of our home! XOXO

Decor: Christmas







Can't believe we are so close to Christmas... I'm super excited this year since it will be Hudson's first year celebrating! Last year we didn't put up decorations because I was 38 weeks pregnant on xmas day and we weren't sure when little H would arrive... My mom has given my sisters and I a Santa every year for the past 8 years [mostly from Vaillancourt from Rodger's Gardens] and I love the sentiment behind my little collection. This year we bought these West Elm mongolian fur stockings and two gold glittered pinecone topiarys from PB for our mantel. Any fun decorations you've picked up this year? XOXO

Decor: Thanksgiving











On Sunday we hosted Friendsgiving at our house and had so much fun! It's always been one of my favorite annual events and we are especially thankful for how supportive and wonderful our friends have been over the past year with Hudson! I made this salted carmel ice cream that you must try if you're in need of a dessert. XOXO

Decor: Our Backyard







Pillows + Cushions: Pottery Barn

One of the nicest perks of going from an apartment to a house has been having a backyard. It's been so nice to take Hudson outside to play and he loves looking at all of the flowers and listening to the sounds. We kept the yard as is besides adding a few rose bushes and hydrangea plants, hope you enjoy seeing a little glimpse of it... Btw, sorry for the slow upload process of house photos, I will try to spread them out over the next few days! XOXO

Decor: Housewarming Flowers + Food














The flowers I bought last week at the flower mart for Friday's housewarming party stretched into ten arrangements [I'm not complaining though, they were such a treat to have throughout the house!]... I will definitely be sad when they are gone! Also pictured above are some of the things we served at the party [desserts made by Hannah of Sweet & Celebrations!]. Hope you had a great weekend! Will post some more house details this week. XOXO
