A not often seen view from my home office. // Will got me that beautiful dried arrangement when my grandmother (who I am named after) died in August, so I could look at them and always remember her. It was truly the most thoughtful condolence and I love having it near me when I work everyday 💜 #millayhomescenes https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGEZAMJiuP/?igshid=141fye5nfe183

I’ve now changed out our curtains and swapped out key textiles in the bedroom with new exclusives from @garnethillpics and this is the most in love I’ve been with this space so far! It feels clean and elevated yet relaxed and serene...which is perfect for my little weekend homebody self 🌿 Wishing you all an equally serene weekend! #millayhomescenes #millaypartner https://www.instagram.com/p/B8T-Kslpo00/?igshid=xasu7kumwwyb

Rosé very okay on this humpday. How's everyone's week going? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #millayhomescenes #mvoriginals https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrbZLxJ2YU/?igshid=408igk4w15r4

Cleaned out and restyled these bookshelves a few weeks back, and it’s been fun to go back through old coffee table books and magazines I’ve saved for inspiration. Definitely seeing old things in new light and appreciating every second of that! #millayhomescenes https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qTCEmJqRp/?igshid=v9al7u7kz1s5

Swapped out our duvet cover and love how much it’s transformed our bedroom for the spring! Lighter, fresher, and feeling much closer to my style. #millayhomescenes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been getting some questions lately about how I approach design and our home, and have to say it’s been a real learning curve into home ownership. This bedroom was a good example to me that you don’t always get it all right the first time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was going for a moodier, darker, saturated vibe and once it was all in, I realized that aesthetic just wasn’t me and doesn’t relax or energize me, which is so important in a bedroom of all spaces. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So now I’m on a slow journey of tipping it back to my natural style - more neutrals and more light. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The bedding, nightstands, lamps, and dresser make me so happy - and next on the list are a light fixture to replace the ceiling fan and an upholstered bed frame to replace this antique one to elevate the space a bit. Happy to take my time on those though! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bedding gifted by @garnethillpics, who you all know by now that I’m a true fan of — the best linens around ⭐️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4qsv1pFfF/?igshid=y91ffs3815pw

Here she is: the grand reveal! Our kitchen is finished and I couldn't feel any luckier that this is my home and where I get to make meals! (swipe to see the before) ⭐️#millayhomescenes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've got a couple blog posts coming up where I'll share more photos, details, and address all the great questions you guys hit my inbox with (trust me, I know this can be daunting, so if my experience can help at all, I'm happy to share!), but I've honestly been giving myself time to read, watch movies, and educate myself more on the BLM movement in my off-work hours and haven't prioritized these post yet. I do promise they're coming! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can tell you that first thing is first...these counters from @adamostone are a dream come true and I'm so glad we went with real marble and a local family-owned business that let us pick exactly what parts of the stone slab we wanted to use. If I could make love to a counter, it would be this one and basically I don't think we can ever move now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On a more serious note: If you haven't watched 13th yet on Netflix, it should frankly be required watching. So much introspection and discussion has come out of watching that for my husband and I, and while I continue to share "pretty" snippets of my life here, I want to also remain vocal about how important it is to stay in tune with this important human rights movement. Do share any articles, movies, etc. that have you thinking, I'd love to add them to my own list! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now excuse me while I go make some coffee to get through this afternoon IN MY BEAUTIFUL NEW KITCHEN 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3a9QZJVSG/?igshid=5gc9s37suge6

So I discovered we have a couple lilacs trees on our property...and took some liberties 🌿 #millayhomescenes https://www.instagram.com/p/B_-W2HcJLeo/?igshid=13u56dyb1mxne
