I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving! In last week's newsletter, I shared a look at my gift wrapping and our custom holiday gift tags. These are a free printable that you can print at home or any office supply store (I printed mine at FedEx and they were ready same day). I've loved seeing you share the tags with your gift wrapping! ...
I love a good green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. Next to stuffing, it might be my favorite holiday side. Austin would disagree though -- he's more of a Mac and Cheese guy all the way. But he did say this was the best green bean casserole he ever had. He hasn't stopped talking about it since I made this recipe for Friendsgiving last week. ...
There are many exciting things about finally being settled in the new house, but my favorite has to be watching it come to life during the holidays. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we are looking forward to hosting our family and friends.
As I started prepping for our table and menu, I couldn’t wait to use our new dishes from VIETRI. The dishes and serving platters from VIETRI are handcrafted and designed in Italy and I have have been so excited for them to arrive so we could start using them. We have pieces from the Lastra collection which were inspired by the overlapping wooden mold that was used for centuries to form Parmesan and other cheeses throughout Italy. They are truly incredible and perfect if you want to set them on open shelves or on display — they look like art! ...
This is our first holiday season in the new house and I couldn't wait to add my personal touch on the Halloween decorations. I like to keep it pretty minimal by creating themed vignettes and sticking to a black and white color palette. The best part? Most of these decorations are budget-friendly and can be found at Amazon, Target or Walmart. Amazing right? ...
It's our first official Halloween in the new house (we moved literally 2 weeks before Halloween last year) and we couldn't wait to get everything decorated for the holiday. Inspired by all the bat photos on Pinterest, I decided to finally go for it. We kept it pretty simple and surprisingly, everything was really easy to pull together. ...
One of my favorite things about summer is getting to have fresh flowers in the house. I've always loved putting together flower arrangements and this season always tends to have the best variety for us in Dallas. ...
I've been on such a smoothie kick lately. Not sure if it's a pregnancy craving or if it's my body wanting clean foods, but I drink 3 or 4 a week. And now that our kitchen is almost done, I'm jumping on every opportunity to use it. ...
It's been a minute since I've shared Ashley At Home updates with you all and we are excited to finally share this Q&A and sneak peek of our home. This video was filmed back in July, so there's been a ton of updates since, but I know a few of you wanted to see progress photos and had a few questions that we address in the video. Can't wait to share more of the progress! ...
Each year, Austin and I enjoy throwing a little holiday party with our closest friends. This year has been a bit tricky since we just moved and have zero furniture (more on that later) but we are going to try and do a small NYE party. We figured why not embrace the empty house. We will rent some chairs and tables and spend the evening ringing in the new year with our friends. ...
With the holidays quickly approaching, Austin and I are thrilled to host our first houseguests this season. One of our favorite things to do is welcome our friends and family into our home. And what better time than the holidays, right? ...
