A reminder that good things take time when it comes to your home improvements, whether indoors or outdoors. 🌿 Swipe to see where this space was when we first bought our home. Year by year, we’ve been turning this space into our outdoor oasis and proving that outdoor living in MN? YES YOU CAN. Absolutely worth it. And at the end of the day, it’s all about the family moments created in the spaces you curate. 💛

Summer hosting era is officially ON. 🙌☀️ Here are my 5 outdoor hosting must-haves that actually make your space look good AND function…

🍕 A pizza oven…because nothing brings people together like fresh pizza in the backyard
🧊 A cooler that doesn’t ruin the aesthetic (yes, they exist!)
💡 String lights…the easiest way to set a vibe instantly
🪑 Outdoor pillows that are actually cute AND weatherproof
🫶 A tablecloth that makes your table look like you tried (even when you didn’t)

Hosting doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to feel good. Everything is linked in my bio! 🔗

A mentor told me this and I think about it constantly. Every time you point at someone, blaming or just asking something of them… three fingers are pointing right back at you.

Before I ask anything of our team, I try to name three things I can work on first. Write them down. Own them.

Do the work here before you project it out there. 🤎

Bug spray that actually smells good?? Sprayed it on and forgot it was even there. That’s literally the point. Seven ingredients, all on the front of the can. No mystery, just the good essential oils. Get yours at Target, Walmart, or Kroger… or drop “spray” below and I’ll send you the link straight to your door in time for the weekend! Bye, bye 🪰🦟🦗

Another peek of what we’re doing to our dining room/entry + foyer too! Missed part one, rewind back to our previous post in feed at .

Something we always tell our clients: finish the remodel, then if your unsure on how you want to style the room, it’s ok to take time to sit with it and see how you actually use the space. Don’t rush the finishes. Our personal dining room is the perfect example of this. However this $300 table was only supposed to hang with us for 1 year, not 8. Ha!

So here’s how we’re evolving this space: we rarely do formal sit-down dinners here, so we’re transforming it into a lounge-style area where we can eat, play cards, build Legos, hold team pow-wows, work, and gather in many ways.

Time to pick the actual selections… stay tuned!

Reminder that your home is always evolving as you grow, as your family grows, and as hobbies, passions, and needs change.

Solving marriage problems, one hose at a time. HA! Jamie would come outside and the hose would be stretched across the yard exactly where I left it “for later” which we both knew meant never. 😅

We got the Hoselink retractable hose years ago and honestly it’s become one of those random home upgrades I rave about way more than expected. It mounts right to a post, pulls out super easily when you need it, then retracts back on its own when you’re done. No dragging it back. No wrestling with kinks. No giant hose snake across the lawn for three days.

Need bridal gifts? Gifts for your adult kids? Or for your parents who have it all? This is it.
