β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
For quite some time, I've been wanting to give my bedroom a facelift--making it fit the "cozy cottage" vibe I desired when I first bought this house 🏑
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Before starting my renovation journey, I created a mood board with my ideal home decor in mind πŸ›οΈ I knew that I wanted a wood dresser that combined modern farmhouse with classic elements, and @sauderusa 100% delivered! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This stunning oak dresser immediately brought serious #SauderStyle (aka new life and so much beautiful warmth) to the room 🀎 It's incredibly sturdy, has so much space, and was honestly quite easy to assemble (with a friend) πŸ› οΈ I still catch myself staring at it each time I walk by 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
How would you describe your decor style? β˜•οΈ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ—οΈ I definitely would NOT swap lives with either Grayson or Jameson in The Brothers Hawthorne because I don't even have a fraction of their brain power to solve puzzles and enter high-stakes games.. like that would just be a recipe for disaster! 🫣
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🏰 Aaaand I also probably wouldn't swap with Agatha or Sophie in The School for Good and Evil because I'd be very confused in a place like that and wind up creating chaos without meaning to because how do you *not* when you're living in close quarters with fairytale characters? πŸ˜…

Hi friends--what have I missed? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All I'm hearing on repeat in my head is Jacob Black's ridiculous, "Where the hell have you been, loca?" πŸ˜† I missed you all SO MUCH this past month and a half 😭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
So to answer the werewolf's question:
🫢🏼 I got to spend a week with one of my best buddies in Ohio and we made friendship blankets, got matching Gilmore Girls tattoos, went to high tea, watched a ton of Seinfeld, avoided a tornado, and shopped til we dropped (it was the best time)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ“– @chronicacademia and I have been buddy-reading like our lives depend on it for quite some time, but actually meeting in person and being able to geek out over books together face-to-face was the absolute best
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯€ The chance to meet one of my favorite authors during the same trip? Couldn't pass that up! I attended the Foxglove book tour in Columbus for @authoradalyngrace and it was such a surreal experience
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸͺ΄ I've begun to work on some home projects--finally turning my cozy cottage into exactly that--and I'm loving every second of it! Very thankful for some incredible partnerships that will be coming to this page real soon
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯° I’ve spent so much quality time with my family, including celebrating my sister’s birthday with her making such precious memories. So grateful for my incredible tribe who have held me up and brought so much comfort lately. 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’” The life update that I posted on my stories on Sept 1 explained the hardest part of why I disappeared for so long. I know that there are great plans for my future even as I stumble my way through the now (if you missed it and are confused, feel free to DM me)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Our Master Bedroom Moodboard and Wishlist

This post is in partnership withΒ Revival Rugs who very kindly compensated this restored vintage rug for our master bedroom. As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the companies that supportΒ The Espresso Edition.

The right rug can be hard to find, but I always believe it should be the first item in a new space. It sets the mood for the decor!

I honestly thought I knew what I wanted our master bedroom to look and feel like – until I saw this rug on theΒ Revival Rugs website! Brandon and I spent probably an hour looking through rug after rug until we decided on the teal and turquoise restored vintage rug, titled the “Jerick.” I’d love to link it for you to purchase for yourself, however, since these are vintage rugs, there is only one of each! Honestly, I think that’s pretty cool, because it means you’re getting a rug that no one else owns, so it’s unique to you and your space.

After deciding on this beautiful rug, we (*ahem*) I got to work, looking for the pieces to make our space exactly the way we like – modern bohemian. This was the exact vibe we worked towards in our living room, and we love how that turned out. It didn’t come as too much of a surprise that our eyes were drawn to the teal/blue colors again and that we wanted to bring a similar atmosphere to our bedroom. You know what they say, these tones are the most relaxing and inviting! It’s no wonder we want them flowing throughout our home.

Now that we have the right rug, we can move forward with the decoration process.

I’ve put together an entire moodboard, focusing on the items we have on our master bedroom wishlist, and bringing in all the right colors and textures for this space. We don’t have a huge room, but the “Jerick” from Revival RugsΒ sure made it feel more spacious with all its stunning vibrancy. It’s the first thing that catches your eye when you walk up our stairs towards the room, and I love that about it.

We already had a couple of furniture pieces picked out, and we probably won’t change too much about the bed, aside from adding colored pillows and maybe a throw blanket. The real additions will be artwork (hoping to hang wedding photos above the bed and our wood wedding signs above the television), curtains, and goodness knows I’d love an armchair in the corner to snuggle up in when I want to read!

Oh goodness I LOVE good wood floors. If I had the option, I’d definitely have more of them in our home. However, we’re in a townhouse right now so there’s not much we can do as far as the sand-toned carpet goes. So that’s why we opt for vibrant rugs to bring life to the space!

Same here! We’re in a townhome, so our entire house is washed in beige carpeting and sandy-colored walls. I knew I HAD to have more color, so rugs were the way to go. Our living room also has a super vibrant rug – and man, they’re just serious mood-boosters!

That 100% makes sense! You don’t always have to do a giant rug! Revival Rugs offer different sizes, and we even looked into getting a small one for our kitchen πŸ™‚ You certainly don’t have to cover anything – just add a pop of color or design under a chair or by a table or something. Who knows – maybe you’ll love it!

I used to not understand the obsession, but I get it now 100%! Rugs can make all the difference, so that’s why I like to choose them before any of the other decor!

I love rugs to brighten up a space! We have a blue-turquoise one in my living room. We went bright colors so we have the turquoise with orange accents and it makes me so happy.

That sounds a lot like my living room! I have teal and turquoise and green with orange, gold, and black! It sounds funky but it sure is wonderful to me!

Heheh! Glad to hear this helps! I discovered it with our living room first – when we purchased our rug for that space. So I knew we had to do the same for our bedroom!

Haha I certainly do right now. I didn’t own anything else prior to getting married – and decorating is SLOW MOVING on a tight newlywed budget. I’m just excited to begin adding more to the space as we go.

I feel like finding a good rug is so tough to do! I have looked for months before I found one that I liked for one of my rooms! I am just loving the vibrant color of this, especially paired against the more neutral colors in the room!

I never even thought about rugs before I discovered the world of blogging, and now I’m head-over-heels in love with home styling and decorating and cannot WAIT until I buy a house and start searching for the perfect rugs! They are SO many styles, shapes, and designs and they can really make or break a room. I can’t wait for the challenge!

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
For quite some time, I've been wanting to give my bedroom a facelift--making it fit the "cozy cottage" vibe I desired when I first bought this house 🏑
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Before starting my renovation journey, I created a mood board with my ideal home decor in mind πŸ›οΈ I knew that I wanted a wood dresser that combined modern farmhouse with classic elements, and @sauderusa 100% delivered! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This stunning oak dresser immediately brought serious #SauderStyle (aka new life and so much beautiful warmth) to the room 🀎 It's incredibly sturdy, has so much space, and was honestly quite easy to assemble (with a friend) πŸ› οΈ I still catch myself staring at it each time I walk by 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

If the main character of your current read asked y If the main character of your current read asked you to swap lives with them right now, would you agree? πŸ’­ Why or why not? πŸ€”
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ—οΈ I definitely would NOT swap lives with either Grayson or Jameson in The Brothers Hawthorne because I don't even have a fraction of their brain power to solve puzzles and enter high-stakes games.. like that would just be a recipe for disaster! 🫣
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🏰 Aaaand I also probably wouldn't swap with Agatha or Sophie in The School for Good and Evil because I'd be very confused in a place like that and wind up creating chaos without meaning to because how do you *not* when you're living in close quarters with fairytale characters? πŸ˜…
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've been drinking this Bannered Mare tea from @steepedinlore with a splash of milk almost daily and it's been just the pick-me-up I need when I have those midday slumps after spending hours at my desk πŸ’» You don't want to miss this one and you can use the code ESPRESSO10 for a discount when you make your purchase! πŸ«–

Happy first weekend of autumn 🍁 Who else is as thrilled as I am that the best season has officially arrived? 🀭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I spent the day baking pumpkin bread with my sister, reading The Brothers Hawthorne while sipping my (multiple) cups of coffee, and watching the blustery rainy weather πŸŽƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
To answer my own question, here are a few of my top cozy, autumn book recs:
β€’ The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin
β€’ All Souls by Deborah Harkness
β€’ Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
β€’ Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper
β€’ Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
β€’ Spells for Lost Things by Jenna Evans Welch
β€’ The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones
β€’ The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
β€’ The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Do you plan your reads around the seasons? 🍁
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't pick up many spring or summer books (since I dislike those seasons), but I typically find myself reading more cozy or witchy novels during autumn! πŸ‚ Doing this helps me to fully embrace my favorite time of the year πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

SURPRISE! I'm going to begin adding home content to this page and I'm incredibly excited about it πŸ₯³ I've been slowly but surely transforming my house into the cozy little cottage of my dreams and the first thing to get a rework was the gallery wall in my bedroom, thanks to @desenio πŸ–ΌοΈ

Truthfully, it doesn't matter how long you've followed me, you probably already know that I love all things Shadow and Bone 🫢🏼 I've been going through a Grishaverse reread this year and loving every second of it, but nothing will compare to those first three books! πŸ₯°
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I was late to the game with this trilogy, reading it for the first time just a little before the show first premiered, but it quickly became a core part of my personality πŸ˜‰ Now, I own two signed copies of the first book (one is the special edition hardcover and one is the show tie-in) πŸ“– And no joke, 90% of my candles are related to the Grishaverse in some way (thank you @janzywaxco for providing the perfect scents for my many rereads and rewatches πŸ•―οΈ)

Hi friends--what have I missed? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All I'm hearing on repeat in my head is Jacob Black's ridiculous, "Where the hell have you been, loca?" πŸ˜† I missed you all SO MUCH this past month and a half 😭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
So to answer the werewolf's question:
🫢🏼 I got to spend a week with one of my best buddies in Ohio and we made friendship blankets, got matching Gilmore Girls tattoos, went to high tea, watched a ton of Seinfeld, avoided a tornado, and shopped til we dropped (it was the best time)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ“– @chronicacademia and I have been buddy-reading like our lives depend on it for quite some time, but actually meeting in person and being able to geek out over books together face-to-face was the absolute best
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯€ The chance to meet one of my favorite authors during the same trip? Couldn't pass that up! I attended the Foxglove book tour in Columbus for @authoradalyngrace and it was such a surreal experience
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸͺ΄ I've begun to work on some home projects--finally turning my cozy cottage into exactly that--and I'm loving every second of it! Very thankful for some incredible partnerships that will be coming to this page real soon
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯° I’ve spent so much quality time with my family, including celebrating my sister’s birthday with her making such precious memories. So grateful for my incredible tribe who have held me up and brought so much comfort lately. 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’” The life update that I posted on my stories on Sept 1 explained the hardest part of why I disappeared for so long. I know that there are great plans for my future even as I stumble my way through the now (if you missed it and are confused, feel free to DM me)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, tell me something that you're looking forward to this autumn πŸ‚
What was the last book someone recommended to you What was the last book someone recommended to you that became a favorite? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, this wasn't the last one for me, but it was the FIRST book that @chronicacademia recommended to me… and it became an instant fave 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The Bone Houses is a cozy-creepy (aka, not scary, but just a little eerie, while also being totally cozy and atmospheric) fantasy with incredible disability rep and a truly creative story 🦴 If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it for your "spooky season" TBR πŸŽƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Do you prefer to savor one book for an extended pe Do you prefer to savor one book for an extended period of time, or do you tend to fly through your reads pretty quickly? ⏳
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Normally, I would say that I fly through books--inhaling them more than savoring them πŸ˜… But over the last week, I spent time buddy-reading The Fragile Threads of Power... and taking my time with it β˜•οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
There was something really nice about slowing down and reading little bits at a time, then discussing them with my friend, then reading more, then theorizing about the plot, then reading a little more, etc. 🀎 It felt good to just appreciate the book rather than gobbling it up (though I know I'll go right back to that with whatever I read next πŸ˜†)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If you tend to fly through your reads, what's the last book that made you WANT to take your time with it and savor each moment? πŸ“–
