Capsule Home and Practical Minimalism

What is a capsule home? It’s something that popped into my mind a few months ago when looking into capsule wardrobes and the beautiful simplicity of them.

August's Mood Board & 5 Things

Since taking the time to make our outdoor deck more functional and comfortable, we have gotten so much use out of it and I cannot tell you how much value it has brought to our lives! It’s so nice to have an additional space to hang with the family, entertain or enjoy our morning coffee. It has inspired me to make this month’s challenge to create a space outdoors if you don’t have one already, or if you do have one and don’t use it much, think about what you can change about it to make it more inviting!
