From the Front Porch

How has your week been? Good, I hope. As you guys know our calendars have been packed with birthday parties lately.

We’re on the hunt for some cool boho chic accessories for Hawk’s Ridge. These would make my brother in law giggle.

They have an extensive record collection so she’ll probably need an updated version of one of these.

This side table is reasonably priced and got good reviews if you’re looking for something modern.

I told my sister the other day we should incorporate a leather poof in her living room plans. The stitching on this one is really pretty.

This rug is a fabulous neutral if your style is more Scandenavian than boho chic. And it’s also a good price.

This desk is a great option if you straddle the fence between modern and rustic.

I hope you all have a peace filled and relaxing weekend. We’re off to an estate sale today, a birthday party tomorrow and I’m hoping a nap on Sunday ha ha. We have a great week coming up next week as we ease into spring with decorating ideas and I’m hoping to share some of the progress we’re making on the home office makeover. Until then, I’ll see you on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest over the weekend and back here on Monday.

Many blessings,
