Sunday Morning Coffee and Labor Day Weekend

September marks the end of summer, but it also means that the book launch party is less than a month away!

I shared with you that I am hosting a book launch party at my home to celebrate the release of my book, A Home to Share. Tickets are almost sold out, there are just a few left, so if you have been thinking about joining me, do it! Get your ticket here.

Season 2 Volume 33

Today I am pleased to share with you Sunday Morning Coffee. This is a place to share, learn, explain, dream, and have fun.

My new book, A Home to Share, is available for Pre-order now! Click here for more details!

About Me

We turned the final edits of the book in on September 27, 2021 and last week, I opened my front door to find boxes of the published book on my doorstep! I cannot explain what it feels like to have poured my heart and soul into a project and then be able to hold it in my hands as it is launched out into the world.

When y’all get your copies, please know that every single word, every photo, and every caption, was thoughtfully considered before the book went to press. I wanted you all to feel the passion behind what I do and I can’t wait for you to get your copy!

I am so proud of this book and I cannot wait for all of you to read it!

It feels like I have been preparing my whole life to write this book. A Home to Share is truly a culmination of the things I love to do and I cannot wait to share all of these new ideas with you.

Something New

Twenty+ years ago, when we renovated our kitchen/family room area, we added an entertainment center (which is what they were called at the time) that housed a TV, stereo equipment, and speakers.

The photo above is a Linen Press which we designed twenty-two years ago to hold our TV and all of the items in the entertainment center.

For those of you under 30, stereo equipment consisted of stereo receivers, VCRs, a DVD player, a subwoofer, multiple speakers, and a CD player. Each of the pieces of equipment was big and bulky and took up a ton of space.

Now that life is primarily digital, we do not need any of this or the speakers, including the sub-woofer, which sounds cool, but I have no idea what it actually did.

I have had my eye on this area for a little while. Every time the cabinet was opened, I would look at all of the equipment, (which literally had not been turned on in years), and dream about what I could store in the cabinet instead.

And I finally got my way!

I convinced my husband to donate all of the stereo equipment for scrap parts and I quickly filled the entire cabinet. I will share an entire post about repurposing underused storage areas, so stay tuned. But for now, this is amazing!

My Favorite Room This Week

My favorite room this week is the Pottery Barn Outlet in Camarillo. Technically, it is one ginormous room, so it qualifies, right? It is a brand new outlet store and the items they carry are simply amazing. If you are in Southern California, make a special trip. Just don’t buy all of my favorite things before I get there, again! I swear, I might just move in!

Everything this week is 50% off of the sale price. I literally cannot get enough of this place.

Pottery Barn is also opening an outlet in the Ontario Mills shopping center (in Southern California). It opens on September 7th and it looks like it is going to be amazing!

Do you have outlets near you? Are they good? I think this outlet may be the best I’ve ever been to!

See this dining room table? I bought it yesterday for the beach house and it was 50% off the sale price. Oh my!

This week is going to be amazing! I am sharing my favorite fall wreaths, all of my mood boards for the decor in the beach house, a new fall free motion stitch embroidery pillow, a new pumpkin DIY project, some new fall cookies, and an inside look at the influencer boxes I am creating for my book launch!
