Hilltown House Spring Home Tour
Believe it or not, this is the first time I have ever fully decorated this house for the spring, and it’s not because I haven’t wanted to, but most of the time I don’t finish taking down our Christmas decor til at least March (I remember one year I had to tell the boys that the Easter Bunny wouldn’t come unless we finally put their Xmas tree away). So this year when I was asked to join a wonderful group of bloggers for their Spring Home Tour I jumped at the chance to try something new and quickly put away the snowflakes and ornaments. Nothing screams Spring to me more…

Christmas Home Tour 2018
It’s officially one week to Christmas and to celebrate I’m sharing with you my final blog of the season (and the year!) and taking you on an extended tour of Holiday Hilltown House. I already shared the small touches I made to the boys bedroom and the guest room in my last few posts but today I want to share the common areas of our home that got the full Deck the Halls treatment. I fully intended to not worry about the living room since I decorated it last year, but I found that just by making a few small changes I became so much happier with the…

Fall Decor Living Room Tour
I wish I could say I’m writing this on a cool, crisp Autumn morning with the waft of pumpkin candle floating through the house – but the truth is the weather out her has been CRAZY and we have had more hot and humid days than I’d like to admit. Regardless, that didn’t stop me from channeling my inner Sweater Weather and decking out the living room for fall. I grew up in a house that changed with the seasons so changing out my decor regularly is something that I really like to do. Last year I made myself go through all my seasonal decor and get rid of anything…

Changing things up in the Living Room
Every time I finish a big room makeover it tends to make me look around my house and over-analyze whether all of the other spaces are telling the same story. This spring, when I finished the Dining/Front room makeover, my focus laser-ed in on the rest of the first floor. In my last post I shared some of the small changes I made to my morning room, and this time I’m bringing you the most used space in our house – our living room – and the small projects and decor updates that have changed the feel of the whole space. The bones of the room (the shiplap…

Living Room FINAL REVEAL
It’s pretty dreary here but I’m feeling mighty cozy in our finished living room. Last time I shared the couch side, and today I’m here to bring you **trumpets and fanfare** the TV side! When I started thinking about my plans for this year the living room honestly wasn’t even under consideration, but it became clear that my patient husband was quietly pinning over the one thing he wanted to buy for our house – this TV. So before starting anything else big, I made him a deal…..he could get his TV, if I could get my couch – DONE! I’m trying to get him to write a guest-blog on…

Living Room Next steps + Shiplap Tips and Tricks
First some quick housekeeping – If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been slowly making some changes over here in preparation for a really exciting project I’m going to join this fall (I promise I will tell you all about it soon) and the biggest change was that I’ve decided to brand this little project of mine with a name – so I am happy to officially introduce you to Hilltown House! I’ve got some more changes planned to the look of the page (and am very lucky to have in-house support to help make that happen – thanks husband) so look out for those too. I’ve also started to post a…
