Little Miss Riley is VERY particular when it comes Little Miss Riley is VERY particular when it comes to cat toys. I can buy her the cutest toy ever and she’ll look at me like, “And what exactly am I supposed to do with this?” 🤣

But cat scratching pads?! Those are her absolute FAVORITE. She’s just about worn her old one out, so when I spotted this adorable Halloween cat scratching pad at Target, obviously I had to bring it home for her. 🎃

After a few very thorough sniffs, an inspection, and some test scratches… we officially have Riley’s approval! 👏🏻😹

Honestly, I’m just glad I managed to buy something that passed her incredibly strict quality-control standards. 😂

Anyone else have a super picky cat?! What’s the ONE toy or cat product they actually love?

Which is exactly why this pumpkin butter cake is one of my FAVORITE fall desserts. It’s fully baked, but the middle stays unbelievably soft, rich, and ooey gooey. 🙌🏻

You get a buttery yellow cake base topped with a creamy pumpkin layer that basically melts in your mouth. And add a big dollop of whipped cream on top?! CHEF’S KISS. 🤌🏻🎃

And the craziest part?! We literally JUST brushed her yesterday. 😬 How does one fluffy little tuxedo cat have this much fur to give?!

Being a cat mom basically means accepting that cat hair is now an accessory, your lint roller is your best friend, and you’ll be doing laundry for the rest of your life. 🤣

Thankfully, Charlie is cute enough to get away with it… and clearly VERY unbothered by the fact that she completely ruined my outfit. 😹

Tuxedo cat parents… PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one constantly covered in cat hair?! 👇🏻

10 YEARS. 🤍😭 Today is our 10 year wedding anniver 10 YEARS. 🤍😭

Today is our 10 year wedding anniversary, and I truly cannot believe an entire decade has already gone by. Somehow, it feels like we were just saying “I do,” and at the same time, I can’t imagine a version of my life without you in it.

Logan, you are my rock, my safe space, my biggest supporter, my constant encourager, and most importantly, my best friend. 🤍

This past year has probably been one of the hardest years we’ve walked through together. Between everything going on with my health, the uncertainty surrounding my job and my future, and all the unknowns we’ve had to navigate, life has looked a lot different than I ever imagined it would.

But through every hard day, every appointment, every disappointment, every fear, and every unknown, you have been right there beside me. You’ve supported me, encouraged me, taken care of me, made me laugh when I needed it most, and reminded me over and over again that I never have to go through any of it alone.

And I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully put into words how much that means to me.

I’m so incredibly blessed that God gave me you. 🥹🤍 I would choose you over and over again in every lifetime.

Happy 10 year anniversary, Logan!! I love you more than you’ll ever know. Here’s to the next 10 years, and every single year after that. 🥂🤍

A whole decade down, forever to go. ♾️
POV: you’re overstimulated, exhausted, SUPER hangr POV: you’re overstimulated, exhausted, SUPER hangry… and then you drop your entire hot lunch on the kitchen floor 😩🤣

Because WHY do these things always happen when you’ve already hit your limit for the day?! Like that was quite literally my final straw 😂

And the best part? I had JUST cleaned the kitchen floors. Of course I did. 🙃 But at least this runner is vinyl so it’s easy to clean too thankfully! 

Nothing humbles you quite like standing in your freshly cleaned kitchen, staring at the lunch you were so excited to eat… on the floor. 😂

Just one of those real-life moments where you have to laugh so you don’t cry and keep rolling with life’s punches.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has days where one tiny inconvenience feels like the absolute LAST STRAW?! 😩👇🏻

Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle from @antiquecandleco_ I shared last month?! Well… I’m sad to report that I’ve already burned through the entire thing 🤣 It smelled THAT good!

But honestly, one of my favorite things about this fall candle is that the beautiful amber glass pumpkin jar can be repurposed once the candle is gone. After giving mine a good clean, I turned it into the cutest little Halloween candy jar! 🍬🎃

So basically, it’s a 2-for-1: you get an amazing smelling fall candle AND an adorable reusable pumpkin jar for your fall and Halloween decor. 🙌🏻

I love finding ways to reuse seasonal decor instead of putting it away or tossing it—and this amber pumpkin looks so cute filled with Halloween candy!

Want one for your home too? Comment “CANDLE” below and I’ll send you the link! 👇🏻

POV: your bedroom officially entered its cozy fall POV: your bedroom officially entered its cozy fall era 🍂🤎

Sharing some cozy fall bedroom stills today because this room might be one of my favorite spaces I’ve decorated for fall this year! There’s just something about rich autumn colors, warm candlelight, and seasonal touches that makes a bedroom feel SO much cozier.

And can we talk about these new fall eucalyptus trees from @nearlynaturalfloral?! 😍 I feel like they completely pulled the whole fall bedroom look together. The deep, moody colors are perfect for creating that warm and cozy autumn vibe I love.

I swear I sleep better when my bedroom is decorated for the season too. 😂 Anyone else?!

And of course, it wouldn’t be fall in our house without an @antiquecandleco_ candle burning. 🕯️🍁 Their fall scents make the entire house smell like autumn perfection!

If you’ve never tried Antique Candle Co. before, you can use my code Macedonia20 for 20% off! 🤎

Are you team decorate every room for fall or do you keep the seasonal decor to just a few spaces? Tell me below! 👇🏻

When my hubby first got this rotating watch displa When my hubby first got this rotating watch display case, I’m not gonna lie… I thought he was being a little ridiculous and extra 😂 Like, do the watches really need their own light-up display?!

Turns out… yes. Yes, they do. 🤣

Now I totally get the hype! I love the blue LED light in the background, the slow rotating display, and how it keeps his watch collection organized instead of having watches scattered all over the place. It honestly looks SO cool sitting out too!

And if you’re looking for a unique gift for a husband, boyfriend, dad, or any watch lover in your life, I feel like this would be such a good gift idea. 👏🏻⌚️ Especially for the guy who already seems to have everything!

Apparently I’m enabling the watch obsession now instead of questioning it. 😂

Would the watch-obsessed man in your life love this too?! 👇🏻

Vintage Christmas Home Tour 2022

I can’t believe it’s Christmas already! And it dawned on me that I haven’t shared a vintage Christmas home tour with you all yet either. And I have been meaning to!

So I am sorry for the delay, but I figured better late than never right? I hope you enjoy my little tour and hopefully it will give you some inspiration for next year’s Christmas decorations too!

Living Room Christmas Tree

Vintage Christmas Living Room

We recently changed things up pretty big in our living room. We got a set of vintage leather sofas and replaced our old white sectional in here.

Vintage Leather Sofa in Living Room
Here are the new vintage leather sofas!

I have to say, at first I wasn’t really loving them. I thought they were a little too orange in color. But now, they have really grown on me. I love the style to them and the bead detailing.

View of living room into kitchen

Also, the cool thing about them is that they can be used with or without the back cushions as well. So you can have two completely different looks with just one sofa!

Vintage 7-Up Crate
I love how this vintage 7-Up crate is the same color as the leather too!

I will say though I don’t love all the red Christmas decor with it. In my opinion, I think it clashes. But I am pretty OCD when it comes to things like that.

Side View of Christmas Living Room

Next year, I want to replace all my red Christmas decor and do more of a gold and copper theme. I think that would really make the vintage sofas pop! So I am definitely going to be hitting up a lot of after Christmas sales!

Another new thing to our living room this year is this vintage side table that I restored with some Fusion Mineral Paint! I plan on sharing a full tutorial on how I did that soon. So be on the lookout for that tutorial!

I just love the shape to it, and it fit in our corner perfectly!

And I wrapped my presents just like last year too. I just can’t get over the vintage lace and ribbon! Most of the wrapping paper and supplies I got from Zulily and Amazon as well!

Christmas Entryway

I kept everything on our Christmas entryway the same. Although the paint and gold sconces are different than last year. You may remember that we did a whole entryway refresh at the beginning of this year too.

The vintage ceramic Christmas tree pops better against the darker color too. If you remember, the previous wall was white as well. So it kinda blended in more last year.

Love my vintage ceramic Christmas tree! I got it from Vintage Market Days last year!

Vintage Christmas Kitchen

Now, it’s time for the kitchen in my vintage Christmas home tour! I always love displaying my old Christmas dishes!

Vintage Christmas Place Setting
The cutest little Christmas tea cup!

I usually always do a vintage Christmas tablescape on my bar in the kitchen. The old dishes only came with four place settings, so I didn’t have enough for my full dining room table.

It’s the perfect set up for our bar area!

I also love to display a few Christmas touches to our tiered trays in the kitchen too. It makes for a festive centerpiece on our island.

Christmas Coffee Bar

And now my all time favorite Christmas place to style, my coffee bar! Y’all know I always love to style my coffee bar. But Christmastime is my very favorite!

Vintage Christmas Coffee Bar

I also really love the vintage Santa mugs I hang on the hooks too. It took me a few years to find enough to hang up there!

Vintage Christmas Dining Room

I kept my Christmas tablescape pretty much the same as last year too. I just loved it so much, I didn’t want to change it up any!

Vintage Christmas Tablescape

You’ll notice that I keep my vintage ironstone dishes on my tablescape a lot and reuse them almost every season. They are just timeless and classic and go with any kind of decor!

Vintage Christmas Dining Room

Another one of my favorite things to decorate each season are my open shelves in my dining room. It’s the perfect place to display all my vintage goodies!

Vintage Christmas Dining Shelves

You may also recognize my vintage Christmas spice tins on these shelves that I shared a few weeks ago too.

Christmas Bedroom

As usual, I had to have my two pencil trees in my bedroom this year too. I love the cozy glow it brings to the space!

Christmas Bedroom

I shared more about how to style a Christmas bedroom on my blog a few years ago, so be sure to go check that out too!

Vintage Christmas Office

One of my favorite rooms in the whole vintage Christmas home tour, is my office! I love to sit in here and write next to the pretty Christmas tree!

Vintage Christmas Office View

And I have plenty of other vintage touches in here as well. Such as the vintage postcards in my inbox/outbox mailer. And the vintage Christmas card on my flower frog. You knew it had to be one with cats, didn’t you?!

You can also see my cute office assistant down below too. Toby loves to be in the office working with me!

You can also see above that I have my favorite Tree Farm candle from Antique Candle Co. burning in the office as well. I always gotta have one burning during the Christmas season!

And, I found some more vintage Shiny Brite ornaments this year and decided to display them in my dough bowl I love the grayish blue color to them!

Christmas Guest Bedroom

I also am obsessed with our Christmas guest bedding! It has cats all over it, which you know is right up my alley!

Flocked King of Christmas Tree in Bedroom

Another new edition to the guest bedroom is my olive tree! And it is actually real! So let’s hope I am able to keep it alive until next Christmas too!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my little vintage Christmas home tour! I threw it together really quickly and only made it time by just one day before Christmas!

But, I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy spending it with family friends! And as always, I am so appreciative of all of you stopping by my blog! Merry Christmas!

    I really love that clock, it’s so unique! I really like the couch color, it really does look vintage without looking worn out, I would have guessed that it was basically new. I like the 7up crate, I also just like wooden crates in general, I just don’t have them because I am prone/unlikely to splinters for some reason. I really like how you decorated with mostly white, with pops of red and green, and the idea od replacing red with gold next year sounds amazing.

10 YEARS. 🤍😭 Today is our 10 year wedding anniver 10 YEARS. 🤍😭

Today is our 10 year wedding anniversary, and I truly cannot believe an entire decade has already gone by. Somehow, it feels like we were just saying “I do,” and at the same time, I can’t imagine a version of my life without you in it.

Logan, you are my rock, my safe space, my biggest supporter, my constant encourager, and most importantly, my best friend. 🤍

This past year has probably been one of the hardest years we’ve walked through together. Between everything going on with my health, the uncertainty surrounding my job and my future, and all the unknowns we’ve had to navigate, life has looked a lot different than I ever imagined it would.

But through every hard day, every appointment, every disappointment, every fear, and every unknown, you have been right there beside me. You’ve supported me, encouraged me, taken care of me, made me laugh when I needed it most, and reminded me over and over again that I never have to go through any of it alone.

And I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully put into words how much that means to me.

I’m so incredibly blessed that God gave me you. 🥹🤍 I would choose you over and over again in every lifetime.

Happy 10 year anniversary, Logan!! I love you more than you’ll ever know. Here’s to the next 10 years, and every single year after that. 🥂🤍

A whole decade down, forever to go. ♾️
POV: you’re overstimulated, exhausted, SUPER hangr POV: you’re overstimulated, exhausted, SUPER hangry… and then you drop your entire hot lunch on the kitchen floor 😩🤣

Because WHY do these things always happen when you’ve already hit your limit for the day?! Like that was quite literally my final straw 😂

And the best part? I had JUST cleaned the kitchen floors. Of course I did. 🙃 But at least this runner is vinyl so it’s easy to clean too thankfully! 

Nothing humbles you quite like standing in your freshly cleaned kitchen, staring at the lunch you were so excited to eat… on the floor. 😂

Just one of those real-life moments where you have to laugh so you don’t cry and keep rolling with life’s punches.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has days where one tiny inconvenience feels like the absolute LAST STRAW?! 😩👇🏻

Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle Remember that gorgeous amber glass pumpkin candle from @antiquecandleco_ I shared last month?! Well… I’m sad to report that I’ve already burned through the entire thing 🤣 It smelled THAT good!

But honestly, one of my favorite things about this fall candle is that the beautiful amber glass pumpkin jar can be repurposed once the candle is gone. After giving mine a good clean, I turned it into the cutest little Halloween candy jar! 🍬🎃

So basically, it’s a 2-for-1: you get an amazing smelling fall candle AND an adorable reusable pumpkin jar for your fall and Halloween decor. 🙌🏻

I love finding ways to reuse seasonal decor instead of putting it away or tossing it—and this amber pumpkin looks so cute filled with Halloween candy!

Want one for your home too? Comment “CANDLE” below and I’ll send you the link! 👇🏻

Sharing some cozy fall bedroom stills today because this room might be one of my favorite spaces I’ve decorated for fall this year! There’s just something about rich autumn colors, warm candlelight, and seasonal touches that makes a bedroom feel SO much cozier.

And can we talk about these new fall eucalyptus trees from @nearlynaturalfloral?! 😍 I feel like they completely pulled the whole fall bedroom look together. The deep, moody colors are perfect for creating that warm and cozy autumn vibe I love.

I swear I sleep better when my bedroom is decorated for the season too. 😂 Anyone else?!

And of course, it wouldn’t be fall in our house without an @antiquecandleco_ candle burning. 🕯️🍁 Their fall scents make the entire house smell like autumn perfection!

Are you team decorate every room for fall or do you keep the seasonal decor to just a few spaces? Tell me below! 👇🏻

When my hubby first got this rotating watch displa When my hubby first got this rotating watch display case, I’m not gonna lie… I thought he was being a little ridiculous and extra 😂 Like, do the watches really need their own light-up display?!

Turns out… yes. Yes, they do. 🤣

Now I totally get the hype! I love the blue LED light in the background, the slow rotating display, and how it keeps his watch collection organized instead of having watches scattered all over the place. It honestly looks SO cool sitting out too!

And if you’re looking for a unique gift for a husband, boyfriend, dad, or any watch lover in your life, I feel like this would be such a good gift idea. 👏🏻⌚️ Especially for the guy who already seems to have everything!

Apparently I’m enabling the watch obsession now instead of questioning it. 😂

Would the watch-obsessed man in your life love this too?! 👇🏻
