For the Home- Pretty decor.

I can honestly count the homes that I have lived in on one hand since I was little
so moving is a really big deal for my family!
My parents have been building a home for about a year 
and we were so excited to see it all come together. 
It turned out so beautiful.

Ryan and I went from the Dominican Republic to Houston, 
and then Houston to Salt Lake City in a matter of 24 hours.
It was pretty crazy.
*Remind me never to fly alone without my husband after that many hours on a plane.

I flew to Utah to help my mom decorate her home and put it all together for 2 weeks.
It was a such a dream!
She has such a knack for decorating (seriously she should do it for a living) and I tried to learn from her  and her designer as I went.

I came away from the whole thing obsessed with 4 items.
Trays, florals, pretty decor books, and candles.


Living Room Tray


Tray on Laundry Room Island


P.S. the candles are fake. So pretty.



Tray on Family Room Ottoman


Master Bedroom Dresser Tray

(Also notice all the floral pieces, they totally brighten up any room)


Here are a few places that I have been recently with my mom and seen pretty trays.

Alice Lane carries GORGEOUS trays (and unfortunately very pricey)
Z Gallery some smaller pretty ones.
Gatehouse Furniture a good variety.
AND Marshall's Home Goods! YES Marshalls.  You have to look, (and keep checking) but they will have them!
(which is where I will be going to find my tray's ha)



Pretty walls.


Yes Ryan is front and center.
Oh how that child is loved.


These are bits and pieces but seriously I was in heaven putting it all together.
My husband doesn't understand the excitement that comes when I see pretty home decor.
Ha boys.

  3. Haha guys/husbands just see it as throwing away money! My husband could live with four blank walls, but that drives me NUTS.

    I always find such great things at Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and Home Goods, so many steals!
