How am I beating the winter blues? With a little help from the flower market! 🌱I love bringing branches inside, and in the summertime it’s free and easy! The winter...not so much! I’ve missed having fresh greens in the house, it’s amazing how much cozier the house feels with a little life inside! Do you like adding branches to your house too?

@lauratonopainteriors, I’m a big big fan of this

@lauratonopainteriors, I’m a big big fan of this gorgeous kitchen you designed! I stumbled upon @lauratonopainteriors via Pinterest and then of course had to follow on Instagram - have you seen their work yet?! The color combo of this kitchen is so pretty, and that high gloss black stool makes me want to jump through the screen and have a cup of coffee right there 😍🙌. {design & build by @lauratonopainteriors | photo by @mjay.photography}

It’s more work, and it takes longer than a tract

It’s more work, and it takes longer than a tractor or truck would, but I love that we use work horses to feed the animals on the ranch. @g_bigmack might disagree with me 😆 since he is the one out there every day even when snow is blowing sideways and it’s -20 F... but there’s something very pastoral about feeding with teams. It reminds me to stay slow, take a breath, enjoy the simplicity of life and not get too caught up in tile layouts, color schemes, blog posts, etc... Someone commented on my last post and reminded me of Boxwood Ave’s manifesto of living slow and enjoying the beauty of living a simpler life. Such a good perspective check! Sometimes I feel like I live in two worlds: one foot in the hustle and bustle of modern life, and one in the calmness of ranch life. I am grateful for both. As I delve into more design work, it is my goal to infuse that feeling of slow living into my designs to create a sort of yin & yang mashup of the two worlds.

I want to be a little vulnerable with you guys ton

I want to be a little vulnerable with you guys tonight about Instagram! 🤷🏼‍♀️ First of all I want to let you know how thankful I am for you being here. Instagram is a huge part of my overall business, and it’s because of YOU! Thank you thank you! When I started IG, I remember getting 5,000 followers and not believing it! Last week we hit 100,000 which is really amazing. With that said, I want to mention that Instagram really isn’t *everything*...I know so many amazing designers, bloggers, photographers, and business owners that have a smaller Instagram following or no Instagram at all, yet have thriving businesses that bring in wayyyyy more revenue than I do. I feel that sometimes it’s easy to get a little wrapped up in trying to grow an Instagram account or place a lot of importance on it. Of course it can be a really amazing tool and platform - it’s really opened up a lot of doors for me and has helped my business grow - but there are more ways to grow a business and make genuine connections than just through Instagram. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed with IG or the algorithm doesn’t seem to speak your language, don’t worry too much about it! Just keep doing YOU and figuring out what makes your business unique! I hope this gives you encouragement to free yourself from the pressure of Instagram and just share what you love and be who you are! Now, with alllll that said, I really am so grateful for those of you that have been following along for years, months, and days! I hope that I bring you a variety of inspiring content ranging from interior design to daily goat videos 😉🐐♥️✨. Thank you all for being Boxwood Avenue cheerleaders and supporters! I am beyond grateful to connect with you all on this platform!

🎶🐓 Morning sounds on the ranch... We have a hundred or so hens that free range all over the place, luckily they’re better at laying in their nesting boxes than my girls are 🙈. I always love going up to collect eggs from the giant hen house at the ranch. We also keep roosters, which according to my husband’s uncle are “$500 Roosters” (for sale if anyone wants one 😆) - they produce the finest Jess Valley Chickens, which is the breed of hen we like to call these girls. Every day, they get the scraps from the cook house delivered to them, which is why they’re all gathered here wondering why I am empty handed!

You don't need more, you need meaningful

Boxwood Avenue is a place where we can come together to appreciate beautiful design, old world traditions, and slow living. Be it making Grandma’s famous apple pie, sewing a new dress, or putting together a thoughtful handmade gift; we are passionate about living a simple and fulfilled life.
