Have you heard the news? The next round of sunflowers at @lsuagbotanicgardens are about to bloom + their wildflowers are out in full force!

Have you been by yet to see them?

As much as I love all-white/light everything designs for their crisp + clean look, I 100% prefer spaces like this livingroom that are a little more practical for real life - different textures, some color, fun pieces...and more pet hair friendly 😅

What about you? Do you prefer the crisp + clean look for your own home or lean more towards a practical design?

Another busy Monday, which means it's time for coffee ☕️

If you’ve been following along for a while now, you know I love a good coffee and love to support small/local businesses whenever possible! Thankfully there’s no shortage of amazing locally-owned coffee shops and roasters right here in Baton Rouge, which leaves me with plenty of options wherever I am in town.

If you're looking for your next favorite coffee shop, I’ve got you covered with the ultimate list of local shops here in Baton Rouge and pointed out a few of my favorites 😉

FINALLY made it out to the new @torchystacos by LSU for lunch today after a hot bike ride around the lakes, and I have to say - YUM! 🤤

Our bartender Jenny was amazing + I think we found another favorite spot to hang out. Have you been yet?

Accent walls - yay or nay? 🤔

While I'm not usually a fan, I'm really liking this design by @thehillarystyle - the mix of dark/moody colors with lighter fabrics and just a pop of color makes this bedroom feel pretty cozy! What do you think?

👉 What To Know Wednesday 👈

Unsure if it's even a thing, but today we're making it one 😅 with the start of a new month (jeeze how is it August?!), here are a few things you might have missed in July:

BR-related stuff:

- @sweetbatonrouge officially opened their doors in @electricdepotbr 🎉
- Flambee Cafe in Willow Grove is no more! It has been completely rebranded as @pizzabyronz + offically opened their doors Tuesday after a soft opening over the weekend 🍕
- @torchystacos by campus is also offically open! Making it the perfect spot for me to get some post-bike ride margaritas 🍹
- @redstickfarmersmarket Tuesday markets are back. It's also #nationalfarmersmarketweek - so support your local farmers!
- In case you missed it, @millennialpark opened up in mid/late June with their first vendor (@jive_turkey_br) + more opening each week
- The latest capital city coffeeshop addition, @cedarhouseroasting, opened their doors in early July and (for all you parents out there) offers on-site childcare!

Real Estate stuff:

- for MOST areas + price points around the Greater Baton Rouge area, the market is on fire. Houses are going quick due to low interest rates and lack of inventory which means...
.
- if you're buying: low interest rates mean you get more bang for your buck. Either with a lower monthly note or more house for the same money compared to this time last year (and previous years in general)
- if you're selling (or thinking about it): homes are typically selling quick if they're in great condition (esp. in the 200-250k price range!). If you're thinking of selling, now is a great time to do a little tidying, finish those honey-dos, and get it on the market!
- another question I've been getting a lot from buyers has to do with foreclosures. While we ~might~ see an increase in foreclosures later on this year and next, we are not seeing them now. Purchasing one is typically a lengthy process and at least in our market, foreclosures are priced AT market value. Which means you won't be seeing a ton of "amazing deals" hitting the market any time soon

Have anything to add? Did I miss something fun + exciting?! (hey it happens, I'm human 😅)

Let me know! 👇

Which came first - the kitchen island or the backs

Which came first - the kitchen island or the backsplash? 🤔

Jokes aside, how pretty is this kitchen? I'm absolutely loving the gorgeous dark blue island that goes perfectly with the glass subway tile backsplash, and I'm always a sucker for beautiful wood floors ❤

What do you think?

The first one being these gorgeous blue skies! Looks like perfect "afternoon bike ride around the lakes" weather to me and just what I'll need after a busy day at work. What about you? Any fun plans for today?
