I’m absolutely obsessed with Clary Sage by Sherw

I’m absolutely obsessed with Clary Sage by Sherwin Williams. Evergreen Fog gets all the love for being a moody neutral sage green, but if you’re painting a room with less windows, Clary Sage is the way to go!

I’ve read so many reviews of people saying Evergreen Fog turns swampy in dark rooms, so I wanted to go a step lighter for Archer’s nursery to toddler room makeover! His room only has one window and we can’t have a toddler room feeling swampy, can we 😂

What I love most about this color is how suitable it is for every age! It’s perfect for a baby, a toddler, and even a teenage boy! He’ll be able to grow into this room and hopefully never feel like it’s too childish as he grows older.

This color is perfect for baby boys AND girls so if you are a team green pregnancy trying to decorate a nursery with no gender direction, I GOTCHU!!

I tried to capture this color in a previous reel in midday sun and it looked waayyyy greener in direct afternoon sunlight. This footage feels MUCH more true to the naked eye color. 😍

I can’t wait to show off the finished room!

The reason I emphasized getting a steel or brass rod is because this is a curtain rod and as you can see, there’s a wee bit of bending happening 😅😅

I’ll be replacing it with an aged brass rod but I couldn’t wait to see how this copper hanging basket looked against our blue walls!!

I’ve been loving this copper and moody blue color combo so I thrifted some copper and brass accents last week to incorporate into our kitchen decor. I absolutely love how this charming little space is coming together 🥹

We inherited these gorgeous copper bottom pots and pans from Chad’s grandma and I just KNEW they would look stunning hanging above the sink. Plus, this will save us so much space in our cabinets!

What do you guys think??

Don’t get discouraged if your home is small, it

Don’t get discouraged if your home is small, it just means you have less projects to take on 😂

I grew up in a mobile home and to be completely honest, I LOVED it. I loved how it kept our family in close quarters and I love that it always felt like a cozy little haven to come be safe in.

Before we bought this house we were renting a 700 sq ft old college party house and I loved that one too 😂 But as our family grew, our square footage had to grow too.

So we upgraded to 900 sq ft 🤣

I think I would be overwhelmed in a large house. Too much space to decorate and too many rooms to clean. Small homes are the way to go for me and no matter how much success our family finds in life, I will always wanna stay under 2,000 square feet.

What do you think? Do you like small homes or would you thrive with more space?

KITCHEN MAKEOVER GIRLIES LISTEN UP!!

I found an amazing small business to cover all your brass/gold kitchen hardware needs. It’s affordable, the product is beautiful, and the most important part it, it’s not from Amazon!

Everything from Etsy is linked in my Etsy storefront in my bio.

I love this series so much and miss my fun CapCut graphics 😭😭 But nothing can stop me from trying to encourage shopping small in 2025!

What home decor items do you have saved in your Amazon wishlist that you want me to find small biz alternatives for??

Every time I go to this store, I score big time!! I went in today to see if some items I previously found would still be there, but of course everything I wanted was already gone 😭😭

I can’t wait to style these in my home to show you guys the vision come to life. That’s my favorite thing about thrifting is exploring all the opportunities to give these old items new life.

If you’re in the Sioux Falls area, you must check out Gift & Thrift on Bahnson! Just don’t take ALL the cool things 😅😅
