Written By Laura Genevieve

As I glance around at the items we brought with us to Portugal, I can't help but notice some of my favourite possessions – our books.

The coffee table in our rental house is just perfect for showcasing my treasured collection of coffee table books.

Whenever I need a pick-me-up, I can crack one open and reminisce about home or get a burst of inspiration.

I wanted to share with you a few of my favourites.

Happy Autumn Equinox🍁

Fall is truly my favorite season of the year. There’s so much energy of change in the air, and we definitely have some big changes on the horizon. Taking full advantage of this Mercury Retrograde, to slow down, go inward

The temporary kitchen in the dining room is officially gone🙏🏽

Man does it feel good to have the plastic down, our home put back together and to know where everything is again🤪
