We got our roof done! It’s been on the list of things we knew had to get done since we moved into this home and we had it done this fall! It was so hard deciding on a shingle color and style and I realized there isn’t much online by way of examples. So hopefully If anyone is thinking of this roof color/style, then this photo will help!

In my previous blog post I spoke a bit about what a capsule home means to me, and today I’m sharing how to apply this mindset to the home for Christmas decorating.

Around the holidays it can feel especially enticing to go out and get all the newest holiday decorating items, but a few thoughtfully curated items can make a big impact, simplify your decorating and last throughout the years!

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. How wonderful would it be to apply that same strategy in a way to the home? The beauty of a capsule wardrobe is that it takes the stress out of getting dressed each day by creating a cohesive look with all the necessary pieces. Everything works together. Sounds exactly like my goal for our home!

I’m not going to lie— my heart belongs to fall, so I get very excited when September hits and cooler temps, fall colors, pumpkin spiced everything and slower days are in the near future! Although August is still at the height of summer, I can’t help but think about Autumn days. I see August as a bit of a transitional month— hot and still filled with beach days, swimming and dinners on the back deck, but with the knowledge that fall is just around the corner. This month’s mood board reflects that — warm whites with some light browns peeping in and end of summer hydrangeas.
