Happy Saturday! I had so much fun styling up my k

Happy Saturday! I had so much fun styling up my kitchen island yesterday for You Pick Friday. I was secretly hoping the vote would swing that way so that I would be "forced" into a refresh!😉 You guys help me get things done around here! I also love how styling up simple spaces like a kitchen island doesn't require renovating a whole room or painting all the walls. It really is as simple as rearranging a couple things, adding a seasonal touch, and lighting a candle!

I don't have a lot of kitchen countertop space to spare, so I try to use my kitchen island wisely! I almost always keep fresh flowers or a plant to bring some life and freshness to the kitchen. This week, it was extra fun to add some life to the kitchen with my fresh boutique from @bloomsybox ! They are a flower subscription company with a fun twist...subscribers get a surprise box each month, filled with specialty flowers. This would make an amazing gift that would keep on giving too! I am so pleasantly surprised with the long vase-life my bouquet has, so I get to enjoy it even longer!

Today is going to be a "get stuff done at home" kind of day, but I'm pretty sure that after a busy week, we will make some time to stop and enjoy home too!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and find some simple ways to rest and recharge!

Blessings,
Robyn

I got lost in a gorgeous account this week....

@myriversidefrenchcottage . And goodness, does Rene's style ever live up to the beautiful IG handle! So many pictures from her account that drew me in, but I especially love this view and styling into her kitchen!

I'm going to be styling up my kitchen island tomorrow for You Pick Friday and so many things here inspire me! What element in Rene's kitchen inspires you the most?

One thing I absolutely love about Rene's kitchen space is the "curated over time" look. It's so inviting and tells a story of a home that is well-loved and well-lived in!

Lots of other inspiration in my stories today too, as well as some favorite thrifting finds. So fun to join up with some friends today to share our favorite thrifted pieces and how we have styled them in our homes. So head over to stories; lots happened there today!

Happy Friday Eve!

Blessings,
Robyn

It is entirely possible that I went a little crazy

It is entirely possible that I went a little crazy with the baby plants over the past week. And entirely justifiable since I kept *most* of my plants from last year alive. Plus, the little baby ones are so inexpensive. Justified. 😉😉

But I still didn't have enough to finish styling this cabinet, believe it or not! So....take a guess...how many fresh plants and how many faux plants did I use on this cabinet?

I shared my favorite tips for mixing the two over in my stories today! I am a plant lady in training, but there are still those spaces where fresh plants just don't get enough light (or someone who remembers to water them enough...shhh...🤫). So I am a big fan of using good, faux plants too!

My sweet friend Toni from @toni_marianna is masterful at styling her home with plants and flowers and she is sharing some plant styling today too! Make sure you head over and watch that; I'm always so inspired!

Happy Wednesday, friends! I hope you're having a blessed week! Spring is coming...

And don't forget to take a guess at those faux and fresh plants! I'll be sending someone a treat!

Blessings,
Robyn

Do some tulips and a fresh plant count as a bathro

Do some tulips and a fresh plant count as a bathroom refresh? I hope so! Really, bathrooms are the easiest to refresh because it's where simple and easy count the most! I purposely do not "decorate" our bathrooms...less maintenance and really, who wants to spend extra time cleaning a bathroom?!?!

Here are 3 quick and easy ways to make your bathroom feel fresh for spring:
1. Add a simple spring flower. These wall vases have been here since we renovated our house 3 years ago. I love them because I can add a simple seasonal touch. They are also up on the wall, out of the way, and don't get any splatter. I shared some great options for wall vases in my stories!
2. Time for some fresh hand towels? I just replaced all the kids towels over winter break and it really is so simple as a fresh towel or shower curtain to make a bathroom feel refreshed.
3. Set a timer for 10 minutes and do a quick clean out, clear out, reorganization! I had the kids do this (since it's their bathroom!) and everything just feels more fresh.

I shared a tour of this space in stories today! Head over and check that out and then you'll want to stop by @georgiamaes_athome to see her tips for adding spring vibes to your home! I love Michelle’s home and style!

I always feel better when these essential living spaces are clean and spruced up! It's time for spring cleaning!

Happy Monday and Happy new week!

Blessings,
Robyn
