Guys!! Thank you so much for all of the love on yesterday’s sneak peek post! We can’t wait to get it cleaned up and share more info! Its been such a fun project and there is SO much to share! Until then I’m working on a post rounding up the sources (especially for the faux wood siding!) But today we’re talking about tile.

Encaustic tile goes by a few different names, Encaustic, Cement, Moroccan, but regardless of what you call it, its GORGEOUS. It’s wildly on trend and completely timeless at the same time. You know what else it is? Expensive (starting price is usually ranges from $16-20/sq foot BUT GUESS WHAT?! I’ve found (and used!) a shop that sells it for $9/sq foot!!

Are you dying? Cause I was.

It was almost too good to be true, so before I shared it with all of you I wanted to make sure that it was legit and it TOTALLY is. We used Zanzibar in my MIL’s master bath and it’s one of my favorite things in the entire house. (It still needs to be cleaned and sealed #constructionzone)

There are a few things that people don’t give a lot of thought to. Why no one has created a more advanced zipper? The fact that you’ve never actually seen your own face, just a reflection of it. (!??!) Unless they’re heinously offensive, do you even give much thought to the type of door knobs in a house? Am I right?

While I have yet to invent a new zipper, and find a way to dislodge my eyeballs to look at my face, I can DEFINITELY help with the doorknob situation.

I teamed up with Schlage to chat about the difference a doorknob makes. Instead of doing a before and after, I thought it would be fun to show you 6 of my favorite knobs on the same space, styled just a little differently.

The first thing that I need to announce is how heavy these knobs are. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. They are solid and have some serious weight to them!

Schlage has so many options, so if you see something that you love but want a different finish or knob style –  chances are FANTASTIC that they can make it happen.

 Who else is thrilled that it’s finally summer!? I am over the moon about it. We’ve been traveling loads but we’re finally home for a bit and I could not wait to get a little space set up outside for our evenings in the backyard. I teamed up with TIKI Brand and it was just the push that I needed, also my in-laws awesome deck doesn’t hurt the situation. The best part is that this quick makeover cost me next to nothing.
