a collection of thoughts, creations, ramblings, and the home renovation story of the tiny white house.

life is not about material things. of this I am sure. when we lost our home in a flood, I saw firsthand how the things of this earth truly are fleeting. this is always on my mind and helps me to discern whether something is worth spending money on, and to keep in mind that, in an instant, it could be lost. besides, none of it's coming to heaven with me. however, there is something to be said about the art of gift giving. pictured are a few of the Christmas gifts I received and I get so tickled any time I look at them. the thoughtfulness, creativity, willingness to hunt [from people who are not necessarily natural-born treasure hunters]... that act of kindness is not lost on me. bonus: it's all secondhand, with the exception of two books. you know I'm all about that. I'm excited to find a spot in our home for these treasures and I'm even more thankful for the beautiful people who gave them to me. #thetinywhitehouse
new post on the blog about my resolutions and some of the habits I hope to create in 2019. link in bio. #thetinywhitehouse
I'm thrilled to announce that the tiny white house now has a little booth! it is filled with all kinds of treasures and my most favorite finds. located in Gypsy Soul on Old Sterlington Road in Monroe. local friends, I hope you will stop by sometime! #thetinywhitehouse
I think this is the year that the potting-bench-turned-changing-table will officially make its exit from the nursery. over the next several months, I plan on slowly transforming our boys' nursery into a "big boy" room. this is certainly bittersweet, but I'm mostly excited about it. and don't you fret about the beloved potting bench! it's just moving downstairs and outside to serve its intended purpose, as a workbench for gardening. I'm hoping this will inspire me to get my hands dirty and garden more [read: at all]. that's one of my resolutions for this new year. maybe I'll share more about them on the blog... which, ironically, is another of mine—to blog more regularly. for now, I'll let the boys play on the lower shelf a bit longer. I wonder if they'll be sad to see it go... #thetinywhitehouse
