5 days ago by fromgrittopearl I may be wrong, but this might be the coldest day of the season in Charlotte. High of 49 today, which means this girl will be making the most of being trapped indoors. I’ve got a fridge to clean, laundry to do and I think I’ll put up some string lights for fun. What are your Monday plans, my friends?! . . . #babyitscoldoutside #babyitscoldoutside ❄️ #mondaymood #monday #mondayvibes #mondaysbelike #mondaymotivation #coffeemug #coffeemugshot #coffeemuggin

10 hours ago by fromgrittopearl Slowly transitioning to Christmas around here! If you can’t tell, I have a slight obsession with candles. Fun fact: My wedding fell between Christmas and New Year’s and it was at nightfall. Rather than use floral arrangements in my wedding (like a normal person), I had a massive amount of candles lit everywhere! Anyone else love candles that much or do I just have a problem? . . . #holidayvibes #candlelight #candlesticks #candlelover #candleaddict #elegantdecor #targetstyle #manteldecor #mantelmirror #farmhouselighting #sconces #sconcelighting #garland #magnoliahome #brasscandlesticks #eucalyptusgarland #eucalyptus #twinklelights #cozyvibes #finditstyleit #chestnutsroastingonanopenfire
1 week ago by fromgrittopearl Nothing makes a home feel cozier than a few fur pillows! Amirite? I’ve had a thing for this camel color lately and @hmhome has a mass supply of it! Did you know you could buy their inserts and pillow covers separate? They make it so easy to swap out looks without hurting your pocket. Go check them out and you’ll see why I love them! They’re my go-to❤️ Now, excuse me. I’m going to crash here for awhile . . . #textiles #texture #cozy #cozyhome #snuggle #thesnuggleisreal #pillows #HMxME #blackandwhite #pursuepretty #flashesofdelight #lightandbright #styleathome #simplystyleyourspace #neutraldecor #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #livingroom #bohoprints #bohochic
