My Trip to Magnolia

February 26, 2019February 26, 2019 Adrian StewartLeave a comment

It’s taken me a few months to get this post written, but I wanted to “formally” share about our trip to Texas last Fall! My husband had a business trip to Austin that I tagged along with him on. We flew out a few days before his work conference began so we could have some… Continue reading My Trip to Magnolia

When Leo’s great grandmother gets him his very own vacuum...he wakes up the next morning and says,”Let’s vacuum Mommy!” 👦🏼💛👩🏻 . #notanadd #butshouldbe #dyson

Today’s agenda included a BIG CLEAN of the house. Like, get everything put away and CLEAN. No excuses. No leaving the house until it’s done type of priority. And I did it! There are still a FEW things set on my dining table that are being given away tomorrow, but other than that I think I did pretty good. Am I the only one that feels like I deserve a medal for actually getting it done?!? 🤣🤣 After I cleaned (which included finally running the vacuum 🙌🏻), little guy and I went out for the rest of the day. See my stories to see how our trip to feed the ducks went 😳🦆. When we got home tonight after church it felt SO good to come home to a clean house. Now to make sure it stays this way...😬🤞🏻. Climbing into bed feeling GOOD tonight! . Ps—dusk is my absolute favorite time to be in my house. I love how cozy everything starts to feel!The dust bunnies tend to disappear about then too... 😉🤣.

One of my favorite ways to add personality to my home is through LARGE prints. I have several scattered throughout my home and it’s one of the easiest and cheapest ways to get great design! For this project, I was looking for something to go in our master bathroom We have dark gray walls in there with zero natural light in this spot so I wanted something to balance that. I found this beautiful black and white botanical print on Etsy for about $4. Sent it to my local printer to get a 20x30 size for $10. I reused a frame I already had and BAM...mission accomplished! . Disclaimer: it’s impossible to get a good picture of this room; especially while cropping out the commode ...because who wants to see that?!? 🤣Swipe for the best shot I could get. 🙂 . Now tell me— do you use these same type tricks for large statement pieces in your home too?

A day to myself in my own home does some good for my creative-burning mind. I put together this simple tablescape for the upcoming 4th festivities. Everything I had on hand already, except for the little flags I picked up today from the Target dollar spot. The perks of keeping a neutral base of items (like napkins, plates, vases, etc..) means it’s super easy to switch accessories in and out to create a whole new look! Now, let’s see what I can get into next around here... 🤔🤗

Well y’all, I basically took the month of June off from ole Stewart Styling. It was a nice little break. As most of you know, I’m a teacher and have a four year old boy who is keeping our summer days very busy. I keep telling people it feels like we are doing a whole lot of everything... yet a whole lot of nothing at the same time. Does that even make sense?? 🤪 We are halfway through our summer break and I’m just trying to soak it all in. I’m also getting excited for some DESIGN projects I’ve got scheduled in the next few weeks💃🏻. I’ll be sure to take you along on those. My little guy is spending the night with his Grandparents tonight so that means I’m already laying in bed with snacks about to indulge in The Bachelorette (who’s watching?!?). I also just snuck into Leo’s room to snap this picture. Did a little rearranging in there and I’m LOVING the vibe. Especially loving this beautiful print by @jenessawait . Want my boy growing up with that daily affirmation. 💛💛 . Well, now that we are caught up on life... goodnight! Stop by tomorrow for some 4th of July styling! 💥🇺🇸

Looks like the rain is moving in and staying over the next few days. I guess I’ll keep working on some of these house projects , especially bc I just pulled everything out of the “junk closet”. 😬 Repeating the phrase.. LESS IS MORE! ✌🏻

Raise your hand 🙋🏻‍♀️ if you are watching The Bachelorette tonight?! Go ahead and judge me, if you aren’t! 💁🏻‍♀️ It’s just one of those things you start watching and can never get off the train 🚂. If you are watching...tell me who you are loving! I think I’m still having a hard time remembering who everyone is so far 🤣. . If you catch my insta-stories today you get a glimpse at THE closet I’m working on updating/reorganizing. Y’all...SO much stuff I have in this closet...in this house. I’m so tired of being a “stuff manager” as @thenester calls it. I’m getting rid of anything and everything at this point. KonMari-ing the shiitake out of this place! 💃🏻✌🏻. . Happy First Monday of June, y’all! ☀️

The first full week of summer break starts NOW! Is it weird that I’ve already planned to pull everything out and do a MAJOR purge and do some organization?! I’ve got this one specific closet that is getting worked on first. I’ll be sure to share more of that mess with you this week...and hopefully have an “after” shot soon too! 😬🤪 . Oh...and of course we will be mixing in lots of mommy-and-me adventures too. I’ve always said being a teacher is the best job. I love to work, but I love getting a few weeks out of the year to also be a stay at home summer mama!! ☀️🙌🏻

Getting to meet @thenester last Fall on her book tour was so fun! It was the first book signing I have ever attended. I almost didn’t go, but decided to give myself a night out and drove the 45 min to Atlanta for it. I loved getting to hear more about the importance of creating a Cozy Minimalist Home. This book is so great! It’s perfect for the interior decorator enthusiast (🙋🏻‍♀️) but also anyone buying a home or wanting a refresh. Myquillyn walks you through the steps to curating a well designed and purposeful home. . Today in my stories, I brought back my summer series called “Tip-Full Tuesday”, where I give insight on various topics related to home. Well, today I shared some key tips I learned from this book on the topic of WALL ART. I found the tips to be #duh inspiring and thought you might too!

Anyone else??? 😵🤭🤦🏻‍♀️

Single Digits! The countdown to summer break is in the single digits and I am getting excited! Longing for beautiful summer days!! Already loading up on tons of ideas for fun!

Saturday!!! We made it. Some weekends I just want to lay around and do nothing. Other weekends I wake up and start pulling everything off the walls and out of the closets because I’m in the mood to PURGE and CHANGE. Anyone else do that?? Speaking of... tell me your BEST home organization tip. It can be for any space in your house 🏡! . . Ohh and my hubs got me a new dish all white dish set for my Mother’s Day gift and I am in love! It’s crazy how much our tastes can change in just a few years. If I were to register for my wedding again my items would look way different! Haha! . Hope y’all have a great day!! 💛
