When we moved into our house, I knew that I needed to make this space more functional. The door opened into it, the closet was wasted space, and there was nowhere to fold clothing, not to mention the BRIGHT turquoise walls. </p><p><span> </span>I decided to remove the closet hanging and replace it with cabinets that will provide us with storage as well as an additional folding space. I'm contemplating adding some sort of rack into the nook to allow for a spot to hang clothing, but I'm still undecided. </p><p><span> </span>I also decided to remove the washer and dryer from the drawer pedestals. Overall this makes the space more functional, as we can now have countertop space, though I will say it can sometimes be challenging to reach the socks in the back of the washer!. I hope you love the space as much as we do. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Before // </b></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWN1letvJODrrR3JJgB7fYyKb9m7yma6S76MopzO7yc_gXsaasqbkF9OGuYyP-zO4GafQguCLaqQ4xNKBUXAM45kJhiDlJLUti1XzlSHOEE-LJ_9w7xP_5HKS5spv29F6F23acCotz2KeBx-6qnmJnj-UymJSP7xDdjOwnahaOa17WWCBQTlpqu1xO3Q/s4032/IMG_3824.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We ended up purchasing our current home and renovating instead of building, which meant I was losing that massive closet space that I was so excited about. Fast forward to the new house and I had about 35 square feet to work with. I was so bummed, I thought there was no way I could have the closet of my dreams.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I called Cathy from <a href="https://www.lccvt.com/">Lake Champlain Closets</a> and we set up a consultation for the following week. During our consult, Cathy asked questions about what I needed most out of the space. I shared how I have many many pairs of shoes and wanted that to be a focus. During our consult, we decided that we would also do two additional closets in the bedroom. One would act as Kyles closet and one a linen closet / more storage for me. Cathy took the time to make sure these spaces would meet all of our needs. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Just a month after our initial consult, our beautiful custom closets were being installed. I was blown away by the quality of the materials and how good they looked! I know looks aren't everything, but seriously these closets are swoon-worthy. I was so excited to organize all of my things into the closets. I'm happy to report that my shoes do in fact all fit! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_AT8dRHQCgzfQqqacUrIsxf1iV-soyJBJCsbkJasODz7m8FOdAHwzNUVm_-yVW_i6zsoh521vs9WnC6UymGiXrK6G0758Aa5lXuMY0Q2WUcqKUPHGutEUXvdp1Y-mVo2Q3OiKUS3ZphS1/s2048/DSC_5894.NEF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_AT8dRHQCgzfQqqacUrIsxf1iV-soyJBJCsbkJasODz7m8FOdAHwzNUVm_-yVW_i6zsoh521vs9WnC6UymGiXrK6G0758Aa5lXuMY0Q2WUcqKUPHGutEUXvdp1Y-mVo2Q3OiKUS3ZphS1/w364-h548/DSC_5894.NEF.jpg" width="364" /></a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpgNYgsfduF-5FyObp0iIRkNdLw4FX7oW1ggNEE3e7BLKsVx49ozGX9n2GMCiYUfyfW5liQAJhBcjUPdN9dTgycLMDy7XFp_5cbkxBkQ8vuVLS7qXHatKJlK72v4y8zPQYVrZER4zQd-v/s2048/DSC_5656.NEF+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1627" data-original-width="2048" height="443" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpgNYgsfduF-5FyObp0iIRkNdLw4FX7oW1ggNEE3e7BLKsVx49ozGX9n2GMCiYUfyfW5liQAJhBcjUPdN9dTgycLMDy7XFp_5cbkxBkQ8vuVLS7qXHatKJlK72v4y8zPQYVrZER4zQd-v/w558-h443/DSC_5656.NEF+%25281%2529.jpg" width="558" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXoHkzQ1y8_CLMkxRck517uL2TjIeIws-xVRQUyP8MAppoxqhnTxfvKalPN3vmapcmMY4WGnOXsri8s03JtJQz-xUn4vzXzinfqqWpwCUZNbSum3Ck8BRHRUdUPoyRpJYP5lr0lEvN_0l/s2048/DSC_5662.NEF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXoHkzQ1y8_CLMkxRck517uL2TjIeIws-xVRQUyP8MAppoxqhnTxfvKalPN3vmapcmMY4WGnOXsri8s03JtJQz-xUn4vzXzinfqqWpwCUZNbSum3Ck8BRHRUdUPoyRpJYP5lr0lEvN_0l/w394-h592/DSC_5662.NEF.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Key Features of <a href="https://www.lccvt.com/">Lake Champlain Closets </a></i></b></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="text-align: left;">They can work around baseboard heat. For my walk-in closet, Cathy suggested choosing drawers for that area to ensure safety. What I love about the drawer section is that it also created a beautiful focal point in the closet. </span></li><li>You have the ability to choose your finishes. For our closets, I chose white wood with oil-rubbed bronze rods. I love to have a cohesive home and all of our other fixtures are dark so I was happy this was an option. I was also able to order my own hardware and have it installed. </li><li> They create a design that truly fits your space. Cathy brought my closets to the ceiling to maximize storage and shelving, this also helped to make the space feel much bigger. </li><li>Lake Champlain Closets works with you to build a closet that fits within your budget. When looking at other closet companies, the costs were almost double! </li><li>Cathy and her team at LCC are very communicative. Throughout the entire process, Cathy was prompt and responsive to all of my questions. </li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Overall, I can't say enough good things about Lake Champlain Closets.

What cozier food is there than a hot bowl of ramen!? I put together this meal in under 15 minutes and it was so delicious. I used my favorite <i>al fresco chicken sausage </i>& it made the perfect topping for my ramen.

Heat the chicken stock over high heat until boiling- Add a dash of ground ginger and powdered garlic to taste</p><p style="text-align: center;">2. While the stock is boiling slice up your chicken sausage and sautee over medium heat until browned. Remove from heat and set aside. </p><p style="text-align: center;">3. Once the stock is boiling drop in your ramen noodles and cook for about 6 minutes until desired tenderness. </p><p style="text-align: center;">4. Fill your bowl with noodles and broth and top with desired toppings. I chose the al fresco chicken sausage, sliced mushrooms, shredded carrots, sliced jalapenos, and a sprinkle of sliced scallions.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Enjoy! I made this for Kyle and he was raving about how good it was! I also loved how easy it is to put together. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Let me know if you try it. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>* This post is sponsored by al fresco chicken sausage.

In case you missed it, Kyle & I purchased a new home at the beginning of November which was very unexpected.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We sold our previous home in September as the market was great, and we were looking to eventually get into a bigger space ( that home was under 1,000 sqft.). The plan was that we were going to build a new home which just kept getting pushed back due to building delays related to COVID. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Fast forward to October when Kyle told me there was a house I had to see but I needed to be open minded...and here we are 3 months later! The house needed MAJOR updates. While it has great bones it was UGLY- and when I say ugly I mean it. Turqoise walls, green granite, red birch cabinets, a lavender master bedroom...yikes!</p><p style="text-align: center;">We are now 2 months into our major renovation and we are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4VJs_V5r5SeYQ0FM0Ydox-i7OmwnxiTL4DAe3r8p9HzjlPGx6gAnxUaNSN_4voEyvmLLTleAKBjHy9461bONMeG0YKf7z-6Wvwq4FdlL7iNABFDQs9e4UoglZuT97ls6Pbvi61n5hMXtv/s1500/Home+Reno+Before+%2526+After.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="787" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4VJs_V5r5SeYQ0FM0Ydox-i7OmwnxiTL4DAe3r8p9HzjlPGx6gAnxUaNSN_4voEyvmLLTleAKBjHy9461bONMeG0YKf7z-6Wvwq4FdlL7iNABFDQs9e4UoglZuT97ls6Pbvi61n5hMXtv/w524-h787/Home+Reno+Before+%2526+After.jpg" width="524" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Where is your new house? //</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Our new home is located in Chittenden County which is perfect as that's where we both work. We are 10 minutes from my school and his office as well as a short drive from both of our families. I love this area of Vermont- I don't think I would be able to live in another area! Plus did I mention there's a full spa within walking distance!?</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Do you still plan to build? //</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">I have no real interest in building anymore after enduring this renovation...I'm not sure my heart could take all of the ups and downs that come with building! That being said, I think Kyle would love to build one day so we will see. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>How big is your new house ? //</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Our house is right around 3000 sqft., which is massive compared to our old home, which was 936 sqft. We now have 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. We plan to finish the basement eventually which will add an additional 1500 sqft. I don't think we could ever outgrow this home! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Your bedroom looks huge! //</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">This is probably what sold me on the home- our bedroom! It has a dressing area, 3 closets and a huge bathroom. I made Kyle calculate it for you with the blue prints and he says it's about 625 sqft. With that being said, I could probably just live in my bedroom! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Plans for the extra bedrooms? //</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Good question! I truly don't have many plans for all of the extra space in this home. I'm planning to set up a guest room but other than that the spaces will be empty for now. We will probably have kiddos in the future, until then, they are nice rooms for Penelope to run around. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Are you renovating the outside? //</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Heck ya! The color is just not my style. We plan to have the outside done this summer. We will be having the siding and windows painted as well as landscaping and new garage doors. I can't wait to see how the outside turns out. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Are you using a company for the reno? //</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm super into home design and felt like I could take this on. We hired a contractor and I have given him all of my ideas which he has brought to life. It feels so rewarding to see it come together! I can't wait to show you the home when it's complete. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>And finally, the most asked question...What are your floors? //</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">I have to say, I'm obsessed with these floors. I'm so happy we went with a lighter color. It has helped to brighten and open up the space. </p><p style="text-align: center;">The floors are Pantim Hardwoods, Palladio in the color "Whiskey". They are white oak, with wire brushing & an oiled finish. I highly recommended them. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Let me know if you have any other questions</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 24pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">♥ </span><span face="montserrat, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Nicholle</span></p>Nicholle Sophiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07623571652950451141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418146189750139412.post-515141462156045732020-09-28T21:01:00.002-04:002020-09-28T21:07:14.311-04:00Fall Inspiration & Ideas<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDBhfZHLINUcHuh8g7akjvtoyYi6x0sJccywRhWnc04VFpfvQKyHgVpFGVYlC_fStbEPmj0JXMAWYNzBFq06y6DePvMfKkqFTSWStdYC6UXjofkSRclAlOrQ06p8SCoTBRz3uVOPWLnH53/s1102/Fall+Inspo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="735" height="870" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDBhfZHLINUcHuh8g7akjvtoyYi6x0sJccywRhWnc04VFpfvQKyHgVpFGVYlC_fStbEPmj0JXMAWYNzBFq06y6DePvMfKkqFTSWStdYC6UXjofkSRclAlOrQ06p8SCoTBRz3uVOPWLnH53/w579-h870/Fall+Inspo.jpg" width="579" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Fall Y'all!

So comfy, such a great price and perfect for summer. My mom tried them on the other day and said they felt like slippers- I don't disagree! These comfy in so many fun colors and styles. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">7 // <a href="https://rstyle.me/+4rQqHJx4N422qvBWKkRLZA" target="_blank">Reusable Shopping Bags</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Vermont now has a plastic bag band, so we've been using our reusable bags frequently. These are the best ones I have found. I love that they fold up as well as the ability to throw them into the wash. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">8 // <a href="https://rstyle.me/+WuIFPGFDbUjUIerePpM_6g" target="_blank">Eyebrow Pencil </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have tried so many eyebrow products and this one is a winner! At under $6 there's not much you can complain about. It has a spoolie on one end and an angled pencil on the other. It goes on smoothly and stays all day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">9 // <a href="https://rstyle.me/+CM2KPjipSOZKdgaJXpyARg" target="_blank">Colorful Sneakers </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since I've taken up walking/running I was in serious need of new sneakers. I've had these for about 2 months now and I can report back that they're SO comfy. My feet are never sore after wearing them, plus they're cute and colorful. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><br /></div><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4100667" style="text-align: left;"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/5cd8a1930bbaa9dd3bbefa7dee6cc6dfe0819458/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let me know some of your favorite Amazon finds, I'd love to check them out! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 24pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">♥ </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Nicholle</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: montserrat, sans-serif;"><font size="1"><i>*This post contains affiliate links.

Prepare cabbage slaw. Shred the red cabbage, you will need about 2 cups of slaw for 6 tacos. Chop up 1/4 a cup of cilantro. Once the cabbage is shredded and cilantro is mixed in, juice one lime over the top of the cabbage mixture. Add one grind of sea salt. Let the cabbage slaw rest in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. Prepare Sriracha cream sauce.

Bake Gorton's Fish Filets according to the package. I broiled mine for a few minutes at the end to make them crispy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">3. As the fish is finishing up, place your tortillas into the oven to crisp them up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4. When your fish is done, split each fillet down the center into two pieces, this will make it easier to assemble the taco.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">5. Assemble your taco! Place the cabbage slaw in the bottom, follower by your Gorton's Fish Fillet, add some sliced avocado, cilantro, crumbled cotija, and finally finish it off with a drizzle of the sriracha cream sauce. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5RjcUtqPClC65YZVv-xkZ6X_1HGg8C-dBXZYNBPWDSut58pdZd55IK6T3jKQoq8bfxAGmkxs8njBF7X-qz20P3FL6kDQSaNHU2YlJFBSTZz3vRhtiYNsjUwwaqHcedEuVZkqVitryUmcZ/s5568/gortons-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5RjcUtqPClC65YZVv-xkZ6X_1HGg8C-dBXZYNBPWDSut58pdZd55IK6T3jKQoq8bfxAGmkxs8njBF7X-qz20P3FL6kDQSaNHU2YlJFBSTZz3vRhtiYNsjUwwaqHcedEuVZkqVitryUmcZ/d/gortons-2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggfiNs8odl4PaJHTpcxzrvyrHHvTWny3YksXk5qq8y9k_yp9ZolSCtTRpmepIyFrywmIsYKYkojdSHIIlzkWiAjjeWxj5KeHwa0VBO_E-gcsvrbb7J2SdfeTLIupKJAKgkImNcfpN1TNFu/s5568/gortons-4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggfiNs8odl4PaJHTpcxzrvyrHHvTWny3YksXk5qq8y9k_yp9ZolSCtTRpmepIyFrywmIsYKYkojdSHIIlzkWiAjjeWxj5KeHwa0VBO_E-gcsvrbb7J2SdfeTLIupKJAKgkImNcfpN1TNFu/d/gortons-4.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV9ImJZwrDy3dOYkZx7Ll8EAA6qAdFU-Hz1WamiekijUfApMeDezYo6b3ip8xUKdSDcEgXAGYmpwTG6ybWrfGQcLPHBkwTS0rQICBbVoJ5eAEYtlm5Xb78BWXMH50ZOppeUWnTFCk2LLwQ/s5568/gortons-5.jpg" style="clear: left; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV9ImJZwrDy3dOYkZx7Ll8EAA6qAdFU-Hz1WamiekijUfApMeDezYo6b3ip8xUKdSDcEgXAGYmpwTG6ybWrfGQcLPHBkwTS0rQICBbVoJ5eAEYtlm5Xb78BWXMH50ZOppeUWnTFCk2LLwQ/d/gortons-5.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJefuTkWBHP-5EDlcb1l5Iy0R7YOzIvCJpS_ltgRa2mkAbJxjkkk4Kw3hsvEewJ_BoQgEbGKto1QlZvE42ZFomgnfa-SP3HshT63veFQpOmhD-Z9s4yjw5uwKj8Qpl5hVZWQfxnQZ60nt4/s5408/gortons-11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5408" data-original-width="3605" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJefuTkWBHP-5EDlcb1l5Iy0R7YOzIvCJpS_ltgRa2mkAbJxjkkk4Kw3hsvEewJ_BoQgEbGKto1QlZvE42ZFomgnfa-SP3HshT63veFQpOmhD-Z9s4yjw5uwKj8Qpl5hVZWQfxnQZ60nt4/d/gortons-11.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYSxvGPlb7jqmxYMMYQ-zP9mUwUD12L2nyrp3SH87A_rrsUWET5kzNCwrYiDKEzC0pbHixAfQnLsRUjt52kuUUL8cy0rCs_IM_oPAi3sJ9nx3W4KqWV4U6IsgLGtAvBKxW1lxWoF7H0uLf/s5568/gortons-23.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYSxvGPlb7jqmxYMMYQ-zP9mUwUD12L2nyrp3SH87A_rrsUWET5kzNCwrYiDKEzC0pbHixAfQnLsRUjt52kuUUL8cy0rCs_IM_oPAi3sJ9nx3W4KqWV4U6IsgLGtAvBKxW1lxWoF7H0uLf/d/gortons-23.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yum!

Hi All & Happy Memorial Day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you've all been able to spend some time with your family on this long weekend, and to remember those we have lost who fought so hard for our freedom. I'm always so touched to see our communities come together to remember our fallen heroes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I wanted to share with you my latest home project! It seems like every time I finish one project, another one pops into my head. Today is also the 2 year anniversary of when we bought our home- time flies!<br>

Hi All-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With these stay at home orders in place, Kyle and I have been trying to fill our time. Kyle has now re-done so many things in our house that I've lost count. I thought it would be fun to share some of our home projects with you. The first project we tackled was redoing our very ugly and dull bathroom for well under $1,000 dollars. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be sharing the things we changed as well as where you can purchase the items. </div>

Hi All!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're finding some light in these unknown times we are living through. One of my favorite things to do is get my nails done with my Mom. For the past 4ish years we've gone every 2 weeks for a manicure on Saturday morning. Obviously, we're unable to get our nails done and won't be able to for the foreseeable future, so I decided to try an "at-home" option for my nails.<br>

I get so giddy with the start of a new year. Does anyone else?! On new years day, Kyle & I took down all of our Christmas decors and it felt so good! I spent the day cleaning everything and then realized we were in serious need of a few new decor pieces.<br>

Hi All & Happy Holidays! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to decorate my house early this year as there are just a few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We had a snow day last week (so exciting!!) which means I didn't have to work (#teacherlife) so I spent the day decking the halls. </div>

Hi All & Happy Sunday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm excited to share with you more of our wedding photos. It's been so fun looking through them and remembering all of the special moments from our wedding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite memories is when the photographer had Kyle & I go down to the river to take some photos. At first, I thought this was a fantastic idea until I was knee-deep in freezing cold water in my wedding shoes- and at that point, there was no turning back. After wading through the river to the perfect location our wedding planner brought down some champagne for another "photo op". Champagne photos are cute right?? Well yeah, until Kyle decided to shake the bottle of champagne prior to opening it so when he opened it, of course, it exploded right into my face! The photos are hilarious, I can't wait to get our wedding video back and see it in action! I have to say, even though the champagne exploded all over my face, my makeup didn't move at all- so props to my makeup artist! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy a few more glimpses into my favorite day</div>

Hi All-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our wedding photos have arrived and I am so excited! I have so many photos to share so I plan on splitting them up into a few posts. The first post I'm going to share is some of the "close up" details of our wedding. I planned all of our decor and such and love how it turned out. It definitely was a bigger undertaking than I had anticipated but it was the exact vibe I wanted. While none of this was inexpensive it was a lot more affordable to do it myself than it would have been to hire someone. If you have any questions about vendors or products used let me know! </div>

Hi All & Happy Sunday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently added some new decor pieces to my little room as well as having a custom closet installed. There are a few more things I want to do and decor pieces I want to add but I thought I should just share it. I picked up this beautiful multicolor rug a few weeks ago at <a href="https://rstyle.me/+LGNwR01Ll06ah2sUxsplpg">Pier One</a>. I previously had a bright white rug but I felt like everything was beginning to look too sterile. I love the texture and color this rug adds to the room. Another item I added to the room was this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+SWqzULslqSR9AVA7-EG2Zg">leather ottoman</a>. It's a fun and functional piece though I usually don't sit on it, I just pile all my clothes on it! I always get a lot of questions about my <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hemnes-open-wardrobe-white-stained-10379303/">clothing rack</a>. Kyle and I drove to Canada to go to Ikea to get that rack. It came in a million pieces with of course no directions but I love it and it was under $200! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kyle had 3 of our closets in our house done which has been life-changing. Our house was built 50's so the closets aren't great, to say the least. The custom shelving in my closet has created so much storage and I actually enjoy going in there. If you're on the fence about having custom closets installed I say do it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have any questions about specific pieces let me know! I'm going to link a lot of them below.</div>

Happy Tuesday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had shared over on Instagram a few months ago that I have finally found a fitness routine and meal plan that works for me. I received so many questions about it that I thought it would be easiest to put a post together. Full disclaimer that I am not a fitness guru nor am I a nutritionist, this is just what has worked for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With my wedding having been coming up this September I really wanted to look and feel my best so I started making some changes in May and have had some great results. I was able to tone up as well as shed a few pounds from too many breads and sweets! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Fitness Routine //</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't follow any crazy program, I don't have a gym membership and I don't work out for hours on end. The one thing I've learned about working out is that it needs to be sustainable. It's not realistic for me to go to the gym every day, but it is realistic for me to set aside 30-45 minutes at home to workout. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 // Cardio </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I start my workouts with 15-20 minutes of cardio on a <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GuWTg74D67i9CZmLGEHbAg">recumbent bike.</a> Mine is from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GuWTg74D67i9CZmLGEHbAg">amazon</a> and cost under $150 with prime. The bike itself has different resistance settings and is perfect for some basic cardio. You don't need anything fancy. While Peleton machines and Nordic track are great they're not necessary for a good workout. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> 2 // Arms</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always do arms after my cardio as my legs are usually a bit sore! I do 2-3 different exercises with simple 8-10 pound weights. My goal is always to tone not to build up muscle. I'm going to link below to videos demonstrating the exercises I do (much easier than trying to explain!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the main ones I do! Nothing fancy- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rvp2gAZIO8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rvp2gAZIO8</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3 // Abs</b><br />
Abs are my favorite workout to do! I love using the exercise ball for my ab workout as I feel like it does the best job at keeping me toned. Let me warn you that your abs are going to HURT after doing this!<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqdaSQL9dH0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqdaSQL9dH0</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4 // Legs/Butt</b><br />
Legs have been the hardest thing for me to tone, not entirely sure why. All I can think of is that I have never attempted to gain any leg muscle until now. Like with the abs, I love to use the exercise ball for my leg workouts.<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtrYVS1c6mI&t=85s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtrYVS1c6mI&t=85s</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What I Eat // </b><br />
My food weaknesses are definitely carbs. I don't crave chocolate or sugary candy. I crave garlic bread, and pasta, and bagels, and toast- YUM! So in full disclosure, I had to stop eating all of those things on the regular.<br />
<b>Breakfast // </b><br />
During the workweek, I'm not big on breakfast so I will just have a banana and my coffee (much needed!). On the weekends I like having scrambled eggs with veggies or a yogurt parfait. Around 10:30 is when my students have a snack so I usually have some mixed nuts or one of <a href="https://www.naturesbakery.com/shop-snacks/whole-wheat-fig-bars/whole-wheat-fig-bars-original-fig?gclid=CjwKCAjw5_DsBRBPEiwAIEDRWzaXqEO3KCGSFyr0VagmuIJBKGCk2wvfmj4t-SjYJY57xfo73tBxUhoCn9AQAvD_BwE">THESE</a> fig bars, they're so good!<br />
<b>Lunch // </b><br />
I'm much more of a snacker than I am a big meal type of person. I purchased one of <a href="https://rstyle.me/+0WoMo176cAHsJjuvlJdA2g">THESE</a> lunch containers and it has been such a game-changer! What I've loved most about the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+0WoMo176cAHsJjuvlJdA2g">container</a> is that it helps me with portion control. There are 3 sections in the container. In one section I put veggies ( I love cucumber, carrots and snap peas), in another section, I put a fruit (grapes, orange slices, berries), and in the final section, I put a protein like peppered turkey and cheese and make little rollups. I also bring a container of hummus to dip my veggies in. This lunch combo leaves me feeling full and satisfied since I was able to have a few different things. I really avoid breads and sandwiches at lunch as all it does is leave me feeling bloated.<br />
<b>Dinner // </b><br />
It's no secret that I love cooking. Preparing and plating meals is one of my favorite things to do. Kyle & I love Mexican food so 2/3 times a week we have some kind of Mexican dish. I'm not very restrictive when it comes to what I make for dinner. I generally don't make pasta dishes and I don't serve bread/rolls with dinner. We always start with some kind of salad and then a main dish. One of my favorite meals is maple salmon and brussel sprouts, so good! I also do not have dessert. While I love treats I find that it's just not great to eat them before bed. We always eat dinner around 5:30 so we're never eating past 7, it allows time to digest before lying in bed.<br />
<b>Tips// </b><br />
* Have healthy snacks! Any cut veggies or fruits are great go-to's. We also always have yogurt in our fridge.<br />
* Limit beer intake! Kyle loves beer but we don't have any during the week. All of those calories and carbs in beer really adds up.<br />
* No fancy Starbucks drinks! You would not believe all the junk in those drinks. Besides it being wildly expensive it's also pretty unhealthy if you're getting anything besides a basic coffee or tea.<br />

Hi All & Happy Sunday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather has been beautiful here in Vermont lately so we've been soaking up every second of it. We're headed out on vacation later this week so I was cleaning out my bag and thought it would be the perfect time to share what I carry in my bag as well as a little review of the purse itself. </div>

<li style="text-align: left;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dqmha8bx357">Felt Organizer</a>- </i>If you use a tote bag as your everyday bag you NEED <a href="https://rstyle.me/+dUQmNLK6_yLnIkLYqypftg" style="text-align: center;">one of these felt organizer inserts</a><span style="text-align: center;">. The </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dqmha8bx357" style="text-align: center;">organizer</a><span style="text-align: center;"> has been such a game-changer in a bag this size. Tote bags are very practical as they can fit so much, but they can also turn into black holes fast- and there's nothing worse than frantically trying to find your keys in your black hole of a bag- that's why you need </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dqmha8bx357" style="text-align: center;">this</a><span style="text-align: center;"> organizer! Another benefit of using this </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dqmha8bx357" style="text-align: center;">organizer</a><span style="text-align: center;"> is that you can easily switch between bags as everything is organized within it. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i>Mentos Gum-</i> YUM, definitely a new favorite of mine. My Mom got me some a few months back and I love it, so if you're looking for some gum next time you're at the store try this one.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i> <a href="https://rstyle.me/+qfCcn2nE3rf9UG874fHbYg">Fresh Sugar Lip Balm</a>- </i>This is one of my favorite products! I have it in a few different shades. I love how hydrating it is and that it contains SPF. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dqmhiubx357">Baggu Reusable Bag-</a> </i>Vermont recently passed a single-use plastic ban which means starting in the new year stores will no longer give out plastic bags and paper bags will come with a 10 cent charge. I decided to get ahead of the game and start using my reusable bags now. I love these <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dqmhiubx357">Baggu</a> ones<i> </i>as they fold up into the little bags they come with. I always keep one in my handbag. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+YFAe0hsNclPVNouPxef44A">Personalized Leather Keychain- </a> </i>This keychain is great quality and a great price. I got it a few months ago and have loved it. It would also make the perfect gift!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+ATxgdCoL3aLsEc-mC8hnSQ">Ray-Ban Sunglasses- </a> </i>If you're going to get one pair of sunglasses these classic aviators are the ones to get. They come in a few different colors and are a decent price for designer shades. </li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+zg4PeIyaLi5jQUvyxVg5tA" style="font-style: italic;">L'Oreal Lipstick- </a>This is the best drugstore lipstick- I always have a tube of the shade 'Eva's Nude' in my bag. It's a great neutral that has some rosiness to it. </li>

<u><i><b>Thoughts on the Neverfull // </b></i></u></div>
<div>
Kyle got me the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Nashville while we were on vacation. I had been wanting one and when we went to look at it in-store (as we don't have any stores here) he got it for me (he's the best!). Anyways, I've had the bag for about 5 months now so I feel like I can give a pretty honest review. Do I think the bag is extremely expensive for a purse? Yes. Do I love it? Yes! You're either into designer bags or you're not and that's okay. I personally love designer pieces. If you love designer pieces I think this tote is a great investment. It's the perfect everyday bag that will last you for years. I also love that this bag comes with a clutch (pictured above) so it's an added bonus. I use the clutch to hold my cards and cash- this is perfect because if I don't feel like carrying the bag I can just grab the clutch out of it. The one drawback of this particular bag is the Vachetta leather- this leather starts off as an almost pink tone and gradually over time darkens to a honey color. The issue I have with this is that when you first get the bag the leather can easily become stained by water or lotions so you have to be careful unless those kinds of things don't bother you (I'm OCD about that). If you're wanting a more 'carefree' bag I would suggest getting a different color as the trim won't be the Vachetta leather. </div>

What's one must have item you carry in your handbag? </div>

I hope you've enjoyed!</div>

<br />
Hi All!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so excited to be sharing with you the BEST Vermont date night! Kyle & I did this a few weeks ago and he was raving about it to everyone for the next week. What I'm talking about is the <a href="http://www.rails-vt.com/dinnertrain">Champlain Valley Dinner Train. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The<a href="http://www.rails-vt.com/dinnertrain"> Champlain Valley Dinner Train </a>is, as the name indicates, a dinner train that runs from Burlington to Middlebury right along Lake Champlain. The train ride is about 3 hours long, departing at 5:30 and returning around 8:30. Your ticket on the train includes your train ride as well as a 3-course gourmet meal.<br />
<br />
<b>My Favorite Things: </b><br />
<br />
<i><b>The Food // </b></i><br />
My meal was SO good, and I'm not just saying that! I would seriously ride the train again just to have the chef cook me that meal again. I believe I had some sort of white fish stuffed with a seafood stuffing and my goodness was it good. The flavor was incredible, I couldn't believe he made it on the tiny kitchen in one of the train cars.<br />

One of the best things Vermont has to offer is its scenery and what better way to see it then on a train? It was so fun to ride through the rural farms and watch the sunset over Lake Champlain. It was a great reminder of how beautiful our state is. I also loved that the windows on the train opened so when we were going slower speeds we had the windows open to really take the view in. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In addition to your regular train ticket, you are able to add on different packages if you want. One of the packages was the romance package which included roses, champagne, and chocolate-covered strawberries- YUM! The other package we had included access to the lounge which had amazing live music and hor's d' oeuvres- so good! Having the ability to move from our table car to the lounge was really nice as it gave us the opportunity to move around vs. sitting at our table for the duration of the ride and the music was great!</div>

Overall I can't say enough good things about our experience on the train. I think this would make the best birthday, wedding, or anniversary gift for anyone. I love the idea of giving an experience vs. a typical gift. Kyle and I are excited to ride the train again. We were told they even do fun murder mystery train rides! </div>

Let me know if you take the train! I'd love to hear your thoughts.</div>

Hi All!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so excited to be sharing our wedding invitations from <a href="https://www.basicinvite.com/">Basic Invite </a>with you today. I shared our <a href="http://www.nichollesophia.com/2019/01/unique-save-dates.html">Unique Save the Dates </a>earlier this year and you all loved them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The clock is ticking when it comes to our wedding- less than 100 days, ahh! I've begun to make sure all of the "big" items are crossed off our to-do list and wedding invitations was one of the big ones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew that I wanted to use <a href="https://www.basicinvite.com/">Basic Invite</a> again to do our invites as it was so easy to make our <a href="http://www.nichollesophia.com/2019/01/unique-save-dates.html">save the dates</a>. </div>
