Mackinaw Road: November Updates
As happens this time of year, the days are flying by and we are already into December- yikes and yay! Here is what November looked like for us. It included putting up Picture Frame Molding, Thanksgiving and The Day After (with the smartest pie I’ve come across), Christmas Shopping, and Christmas Decorating.

Holiday Dining Room on Mackinaw Road
Hi! I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving Weekend!! This post is probably 10 days too late, but here it is just the same. I do think that it is versatile enough that some of the ideas could easily be incorporated into a Christmas table, too. Here is our Holiday Dining Room.

Last year for Thanksgiving, our table was on a much more traditional level. (You can check it out here.) This year, however, I was scrambling. Gretchen and I added picture frame molding to the room and I…

Mackinaw Road: August Updates
Hi! Keep reading for some August Updates… (I can’t believe it’s already September!) I hope your August went well! It flew by for us, and I’m hoping to share some autumn styling soon. Until then, we will be soaking up all that summer has to offer! We spent the entire summer in Michigan and I’m not even a little bit mad about it. This is what we wait all year for and I am incredibly happy to stay put. That said, we are excited to be heading out East in September and I hope to finally be able to write another travel post for that.

Beach Cabin: Serena and Lily Bedding
The Serena and Lily Bedding arrived for the Beach Cabin and I couldn’t be more excited! Even the 8-year old said “Wow this is so nice!” which made me very happy and then a little apprehensive that I’ll soon find Doritos residue on it.

I posted a poll over on Instagram earlier this spring, and while I can’t find the exact results, I believe that the Beach Cabin kitchen shelves won out over our Colonial Home shelves by just a few percentage points. Maybe we will have to do the kitchen shelves at home soon too. For now though, here…

A Cape Cod Inspired Celebration
You may or may not know that I love something inspired. Okay, maybe even a little theme-y. When my sister and brother in law suggested lobster rolls for our Mother’s Day celebration, I was all in. Then, I saw some candles. And maybe sent a text suggesting that everybody dress the part. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. Keep reading for the details of our Cape Cod Inspired Celebration. As a disclaimer, I should mention that I’ve never been to Cape Cod. Someday soon hopefully! **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! The Food My sister and brother…

Spring Table Setting: Gray and Pink
All of this sun in March has me ready for spring! Our spring mantel already got a little refresh and our dining room is next on the list. This spring table setting involves muted terracotta, classic spring pink, and gray stripes. I pulled out our wedding china for this classic spring setting. It’s simple yet elegant detail feels like spring to me. It goes perfectly with my grandmother’s silverware and her water goblets. My SIL knows how much a love a pretty table setting. She gave me a basket full of napkins, table runners, etc. for Christmas. I am going to have so much fun pulling them out and incorporating…
