FRIDAY 5 | FALL FAVES
style
I thought it was so cute, yesterday on my IG feed someone suggested I do OOTD posts. I don’t think I will be doing them consistently any time soon but there’s no doubt that I love creating not just in homes but on my own body with my clothing…
GALLERY WALL INSPO + MY DILEMMA
We live in a rental. We can't touch anything in the home we live in. No new flooring, no new cabinetry, no new wall colors-nothing. Now, if you're reading this and you're a creative like me who loves changing the aforementioned more than you change your unmentionables then you understand my plight. Couple that with an architectural design that isn't exactly my own and it COULD be a recipe for disaster…

I've been on the search for the perfect sconces for our walls in our little cottage and since we are renters with definite restrictions, I’ll be needing a plug-in option vs. hardwire…
OLIVE BAR CHICKEN from THE MODERN PROPER
With all the busyness the fall season brings, I am always looking for ways to cut corners but not taste. This recipe from The Modern Proper 100% delivers in every way and I HAD to share it with you guys. It’s officially my new favorite…
So, yesterday I was driving along, minding my business when all of a sudden I realized that it was October 1. Now, I know that fall officially began a couple of weeks ago but for some reason, in my mind, it's really not fall until I see change in the seasons. The trees begin to fade into beautiful hues of red and golden browns and yellows and the temps truly begin. Around here, that's usually right around October…
how to get through hard times
I feel like that title is a little misleading. Mostly because when I say hard in the title it should actually read “really hard like can’t get outta the bed and you feel like you’re dying and you’ve lost it all…hard”. The past year was pretty rough for me. It's been a year since I've written anything not related to my book…
MEET KENNESHA
Hi there, I'm the creative behind Restoration House and I'm glad you are here...
![WHY I’M HERE | I asked over in my stories what kinds of things you guys like to see over here on my feed and blog cause sometimes I wonder if I’m just spinning my wheels over here or if you guys actually pick up what I’m laying down, ya know? I don’t think it’s eternal but I think it matters for the sake of my own time and yours AND for relevance sake.
One response was probably the sweetest and sincere response and even though I feel like I’ve come such a long way since I first started here, reminders of why I do what I do here are always good.

Because I’d never really be able to articulate it well enough here is that response, verbatim: “I have been thinking about this survey since yesterday. I Feel like your ID account is more than the count. It’s has genuineness. A clear calling. So you do you. If He inspires you to post a quote, post it. If the day is a day for home [creativity], post that. What makes her side spot on is the genuine, not planned, peek into your day.”
___
And that, my friends, was good for my soul. It’s not to say if you’re here for any other reason you’re wrong. It just lets me know that there are people out there who get it. And sometimes I just need to know we’re all here, part of this community, doing this together. That you get it. And, while you may have landed here a multitude of different ways, I am thankful today that you are here. I don’t take it lightly.
___
You’re not just followers, many of you for me, have become family. That’s a big deal to me. It’s a fact that I don’t take lightly and that I find honor in.
___
If you’re here, I hope that you find something I share encouraging, insightful, empowering, uplifting or just something frankly that you like. But if you, don’t? Well, that’s ok too. There are lots of accounts out there that provide all kinds of things for all kinds of folks. I’m just thankful today that I get to do what I do over here and know that God in all His power makes it so that it makes a difference not only in my own heart but hopefully in yours too.
