Concrete Overlay: A DIY Concrete Table Top Refresh
When we moved into our house almost a decade ago, we quickly switched out our old rectangular kitchen table for a round one. The base of the table was a beautifully colored wood. The top was some sort of metal material (I think). It had little button rounds on the side. It was a great table. It has lasted for years and fits the space perfectly. However, the top has been painted on, nail polished on, banged with toddler forks and spoons, etc, etc. Needless to say, it was time for a little refresh. I love how the DIY Concrete Table Top Refresh turned out!

MIDCENTURY IN A NON MIDCENTURY HOUSE
MIDCENTURY IN A NON MIDCENTURY HOUSE Surprising even to myself, I find that I am drawn to midcentury modern (MCM) homes and furniture pieces. I think I love the clean but soft lines and the unfussiness of it all. It is likely good that I don’t currently live in a midcentury home because I would be ALL IN– lol. Nonetheless, my lack of a midcentury house has not stopped me from purchasing a few midcentury-inspired pieces for our 1913 Beach Cabin and 1926 Colonial Home. *DISCLOSURE: This post contains affiliate links/photos, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation.

Fall Throw Pillows
Fall has officially descended on Michigan. The fall leaves are beautiful, and on sunny days, we spend as much time outside as possible. On rainy days, it is so nice to curl up with a good book and get cozy. This week has convinced me that it is time to switch out a few pillows on our sectional to fully embrace the fall feel. Here are some of the fall throw pillows that I am considering to sub in for my floral prints and summer stripes.
