This week, instead of sharing my usual Wise Apple Weekly roundup of small changes and updates, I’m sharing one slightly larger update – one that has made a HUGE difference on the overall vibe of our living room. When we moved into our home just over two years ago, the former owner was kind […]

Wise Apple Weekly: Even More Houseplants & Tomatoes
Hello, my friends, and welcome to this week’s edition of Wise Apple Weekly! Despite the fact that today is officially the first day of Fall, this week has been unseasonably warm (in the high 80s every day!), so I’ve been spending a ton of time outside, soaking up the last bits of summery sunshine. Never […]
Wise Apple Weekly: Ripe Tomatoes and a Disco Ball
Hello, lovelies! Hope you all had a wonderful week! Have you all caught Fall fever yet? I’m definitely getting there! In last week’s edition of Wise Apple Weekly, I promised to share some of the treasures we found on our trip to Ithaca – and here I am, back to share those goodies, and […]
Wise Apple Weekly: A Rainy Anniversary Camping Trip
This week’s edition of Wise Apple Weekly is a bit different than last week’s, as I didn’t spend nearly as much time nesting as I usually do. Instead, I was celebrating nine years of wedded bliss with my handsome hubby in Ithaca, NY. We rented a cabin at the Robert H. Treman State Park, […]
Introducing: Wise Apple Weekly
In last week’s blog post, I talked a bit about some changes we recently made in our living room. Though small, these updates have made a pretty big impact on how we feel about the current design situation in our living room. It got me thinking more and more about small changes and updates […]
Living Room Update: Bring on the Brass!
We’ve lived in our fare share of rented apartments over the years, and each time we’ve moved into a new space, it’s taken us quite a while to start putting things on the walls. We’re pretty fast with decorating in general – furniture finds its rightful place within the first couple of weeks, nick-knacks […]
An Ode To Peonies
When we moved into our house in August of 2015, we spotted a peony bush nestled up against the house in our backyard. It was in pretty rough shape and had a terrible case of powdery mildew, but I was determined to at least keep it alive until the following summer, when I envisioned […]
The Buffalo Botanical Gardens
As you may have guessed from the numerous houseplants that show up as props in my product photos, I kinda have a thing for plants. Which is why I was over-the-moon excited to visit one of my very favorite Buffalo attractions yesterday for my birthday – the Buffalo Botanical Gardens! In case you could […]
Vintage 101: Salt and Pepper Shakers
One of my all-time favorite things to collect is vintage salt and pepper shakers. They’re colorful, quirky, relatively inexpensive, and they don’t take up too much space – what more could you ask for? I’ve been collecting them for years, and though my collection isn’t gigantic, I absolutely LOVE every single one of my treasured […]
Home Tour: Our Living Room
A few weeks ago, I wrote about how perfectionism can sometimes get in the way of my willingness to share peeks into my home. I also made a promise that I’d share part of my home with you all, even if it’s not quite perfect. It took me a while to finally act on […]
