Kinley’s Floral Farmhouse Nursery

Hi friends! I want to share with you the most special room in our home… Kinley’s nursery. When I found out we were having a girl, I knew the nursery theme would be floral farmhouse with touches of blush and gold.

The very first project that we took on for this room was installing a shiplap accent wall for behind the crib. So with the help of my husband’s uncle, we were able to knock out this project in one day. We ended up painting the shiplap to match the trim color which is Benjamin Moore White Dove and the rest of the room is a light greige color, Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. Since the walls are very neutral, I knew all the pops of color would come from the decor.

Next up, we selected this crib in the color, Cloud. Since then, the color has been discontinued in this specific style, but I’ve found one that’s very similar here in Cloud. We loved how this convertible crib will accommodate our growing girl. It converts to a toddler bed, day bed and full-size bed.

Sweet and Simple Spring Tablescape

With temperatures heating up and more and more sunshine peaking out everyday, it’s time kick Winter to the curb and say ‘hello’ to Spring! For this year’s Spring decor, I decided to start with a sweet and simple Spring tablescape. My Mom has a lovely collection of milk glass vases that I knew that I wanted to build the look around. She was so sweet to let me borrow them for this look. If you’re looking to build a collection for yourself, antique shops, thrift stores and flea markets are a great place to start.

Where to Buy a Magnolia Wreath

One of the questions I get asked most often about my home is where I purchased the Magnolia wreath that hangs over an old window frame in my living room. I always cringe a little bit when someone.. BECAUSE it’s so darn expensive. So if you’re willing to splurge, go for Signature Magnolia Wreath from Magnolia [Here]. It is the ultimate holy grail of Magnolia wreaths, and it is incredibly beautiful in person. You honestly won’t regret this purchase.

But, I wanted to pull together a list of other options where you can buy a Magnolia wreath to get the same look for a more affordable price point.

How to Apply Shiplap Wallpaper

Calling all Joanna Gaines wanna be’s… are you dying for the look of shiplap, but not ready to commit to the real thing? Do you currently live in a rental where you can make any changes to your living space? Or maybe you don’t have access to an arsenal of power tools at your disposal. For me, I’m the queen of indecisiveness so it’s hard for me to make a big time commitment to any design trend. The thought of destroying a whole wall of drywall for something I might not like in the future makes me a little leary.

My IG buddy Amanda @houseoncanal has this AMAZING shiplap wall in her home. When I asked her about it, she told me it wasn’t even real, and I couldn’t believe it! It was peel and stick wallpaper! After that, I was sold. I knew this DIY project wouldn’t be easy, but it would be well worth it to get the “Fixer Upper” look. Here’s how to apply shiplap wallpaper…

Materials

Devine Color Textured Shiplap Peel & Stick Wallpaper -Ultra White (I chose to use this wallpaper, because I loved how it had texture which gives it a more realistic look. Also, I found the price to be really affordable as well.)
Wallpaper plastic smoother
Measuring Tape
Craft Knife
Ruler to use as a straight edge

Home for the Holidays Home Tour 2017

‘Tis the season to be jolly and ’tis the season to decorate! Seriously… who doesn’t love decorating their home for the holidays? There’s just something about a home filled with beautiful decorations that makes me feel like a kid again. The Christmas nostalgia is real!

I’m so excited to let y’all know that I’ve teamed up with a fabulous set of lady bloggers to bring you a Home for the Holidays Blog Hop. There’s so much beautiful holiday inspo going on in this group of gals. I hope that you’re able to gather a number of ideas for your Christmas decor. Also, be sure to pin and share your favorite ideas along the way! If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, you can find a list of all the participating bloggers.

And now, welcome to The Holtz House: Holiday Edition…

Entryway

Believe it or not, I actually started dreaming up my theme for this year’s Christmas decor this past summer. I know… it sounds totally crazy! But- summer flea markets are a great place to snag some awesome items to incorporate within your holiday decorating. When I stumbled upon this green tackle box pictured above, it served as my inspiration. This year, I decided to go with a traditional red and green theme with vintage touches. No sparkle and bling… just neutral colors and natural woods.

When I attended the Urban Farmgirl Main Street Market in September, I stumbled upon this gorgeous vintage sled and knew that it had to be mine. It was perfection once I added the ice skates and decorative Christmas swag. I originally wanted to add this to our front porch decor, but I liked it so much that I decided I would get to look at it a whole lot more indoors. 😉

6 Ways to Style Spindles

A few weeks ago, I ran into my friend, Kari, at the Main Street Market hosted by Urban Farmgirl in Rockford. She had purchased a beautiful set of white, chippy spindles from Trove Vintage. We were chatting about all the fun ways she would be able to style them within her home. Then LIGHT BULB… it hit me! What a perfect idea for a blog post. In the hopes of providing some decor inspiration for your home, here are six ways to style spindles.

1. Place within a dough bowl or old toolbox.

If you’re looking for something to fill up a decorative bowl of any kind, you can add in your chippy paint spindles. You can keep it plain and simple or incorporate other filler as well.

Home Tour: Farmhouse Master Suite

When my husband and I thought about building our first home together, we knew creating a relaxing farmhouse master suite would be an important aspect. We wanted to create a space that felt like a calming retreat away from the real world. We wanted it to be soft, yet sophisticated, and incorporate a few rustic elements elements to tie in the rest of our farmhouse decor. So come on in, I’d like to invite you on a grand tour of our farmhouse master suite.

Upon deciding that a one-story, ranch floor plan would be best for us, we also opted to have the master suite located on one side of the home, and then the additional bedrooms located on the other side. We felt like this would enable us to have some form of privacy down the road when we do start to have a family. Now, we may learn to hate this layout since it will require us to do a lot more walking back and forth later on. But then… YAY for getting those steps in!

The Bedroom

Walking into our bedroom, you first see our queen bed split between two large windows. I love how this lets in so much natural light. Our windows open up to our backyard which backs up to cornfields.
