Caught My Attention 5

What was supposed to be a monthly series where I share all the things that have caught my attention recently has obviously not gone as planned.  Here’s to hoping this newish blog series becomes a regular around here in the new year.  😉   Because I really love sharing and discussing all the things with you all!

Without further adieu….

Yes Please, to this Cinnamon Apple Cider Margarita!

My girl Courtney shares the recipe in this really fun Friendsgiving round-up!  There are lots of great recipes over there, so be sure to check it out!

Naked Trees Are the New Black

Call them naked, bare, undecorated, whatever, I’m here for them!  I love everything about this look!  It’s so fresh and simple and gorgeous and just, I love!  Would you consider a naked tree in your holiday home this year?  Or are you a hardcore must-have-all-the-ornaments type?

The House Inspiration I’ve Been Searching For

I finally found it!   This is the house inspiration I’ve been searching for ever since we bought our lot and decided to build.  This newly built home is gorgeous, and combines modern and classic in such a stunningly, timeless way.  It’s exactly what I want for our new home.  A new home with an old soul.  Maybe that should be my new blog name when we move.  😉

One Room Challenge Favorites

This round of the One Room Challenge was pretty amazing!  I’m floored at what the featured designers and participants were able to accomplish in just 6 short weeks.

This guest house from Dabito is crazy good.  I think my eyes popped out of my head when I first saw this pop up in my feed.  The colors, the patterns, the styling….I’m inspired!

House of Brinson always knocks it way out of the park, but I think this bathroom renovation is my favorite space they’ve ever done.  Which is saying something because everything they touch turns to gold.  This cabinet makeover alone takes the cake for me.  You absolutely have to go see all the photos of this space!

A New Favorite Song

Last but not least, I’m excited to share one of my new favorite songs that just so happens to be from my friend Traci’s son!  Traci was one of the very first bloggers I ever met in real life.  She’s a Kentucky girl with a heart of gold, and her son Jonathon, who was on the Voice a few years ago, has just released his first single!

This song feels like fall, and the video was shot at Traci’s house.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

So tell me, what has caught your attention lately?  Any great new reads, tv shows or Netflix binges you care to share?  Let’s chat!
