Meet Nicole!


Hi Guys! I’m Nicole! I'm the face behind My Rustic Retreat Lifestyle Blog & Shop.
I'm so glad you're here!! Just a tad bit about me: I'm the wife to my high school sweetheart & best friend, mother of 2, HR professional turned SAHM turned blogger. I love sharing all things home & life!! Although I often focus on home decor (mostly modern farmhouse-ish style but I love ALL styles), I also love chatting about fashion/beauty, family, and all things LIFE!! I love reading, traveling, laughing, and spreading happiness!! Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have fun!

As promised, I DID NOT buy any fall stuff at @michaelsstores today...but boy did it feel good to just explore all the fall!! 🤗🤗 #itsmyhappyplace 🍁🍂🍁 I pledge not to share any more fall-ish photos for...🤔🤔🤔...at least a week 😉😂. I mean, it is #christmasinjuly after all!! 😂 I’m messing with you guys! My plan is to hold off until we get settled in the house, so, late August-early September. But I’ll be living vicariously through all of you early adopters!! Where my early decorators at??? #aintnoshame 🙌🏼🙌🏼😘😘 . Seriously, when do y’all start decorating for fall? 🍁🍂What about Christmas?? 🎄And when do you start looking for inspo for these seasons?? I’m curious! Let me know below, poll is live! Go! 🙌🏼 . . . . . #tooearlyforfall #itsnevertooearlyforfall #autumnleaves #autumnleavesandpumpkinsplease #falliscoming #fallislife #ilovefall #falldecor #fallhomedecor #fallinspo #fallinspiration #fallinspired #autumn I know I know, another photo of the kitchen 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄. Sorry! Actually, #sorrynotsorry 😂😂 I’m excited!! But seriously, so many asked to see a close up of the backsplash and I finally snagged a photo! Swipe over to see it. Also, vent hood cover is in! Still needs to be painted/stained, and we have lights!!! These are not the ones I loved but they were included 😂🤑so I’ll be changing them out once we move in!🙌🏼🙌🏼 . Also, if you’ve been following my terrifying bug 🐜 🐛 🕷journey, pest control comes Friday 😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼. #imterrified . . . . #kitchenupdate #subwaytilebacksplash #subwaytile #kitchenisland #homeupdates #kitchencabinets #cabinethardware #cabinetry #venthood #pendantlights #kitchenlighting I need y’all’s help!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 The fireplace is being installed and I can’t decide if we should stain the mantel the same color as the beams or leave it natural!?? What do y’all think?!?! Opinions welcome!🙌🏼🙌🏼 I love it natural but they still have to stain the floors (dark-ish stain) so I’m not sure what to do! 🤔🤔🤔 . . : . . #fireplace #fireplacemakeover #fireplacedecor #fireplacemantel #stone #stonefireplace #chandelier #woodbeams #farmhousehome #beadedchandelier #manteldecor #mantel #underconstruction #ourhome Morning y’all!! ☀️☀️ Okay, NEW BLOG POST is up!!! (Link in profile) I’m sharing ALLLLLL the details of our new home!! Backsplash, paint colors, countertops, lighting, tile, etc. I even gave y’all a sneak peek of the lighting we chose😉!! And believe it or not, I found links to like 99% of our selections so you guys can shop and/or price out any of these same options for your own build/renovation! 👊🏼👊🏼 I’m going to start linking these photos in the @liketoknow.it app so that y’all can shop the design choices from there too. 🙌🏼 I’ve had a ton of questions around this topic so I apologize if I haven’t been able to answer them all! Hopefully this blog post will!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ If I missed anything or y’all still have questions, just ask them on the blog post and I will for sure see them there! 🥰🥰🥰. . . . . #renovation #newbuild #newhome #newhomeconstruction #newhomeideas #woodbeams #woodbeam #ceilingbeams #whitekitchen #kitchen #grayisland #kitchenisland #kitchenislanddesign Grout was added to the backsplash this past week!! 🥰🥰 Holy moly, what a difference grout can make! Did y’all know that every tile comes with a “manufacturer’s standard” for grout lines? 🤯🤯I had no clue!! Our backsplash standard was 1/16th and I LOVE IT!!! I don’t think I’ll ever want thick grout lines again! 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ I’ll have to share a close up when I’m at the house next time! . Ps. If you already knew about standard grout lines...don’t tell me. I don’t feel like feeling dumb today. 😁 K thanks! 😂 I’m just kidding, you can tell me. There’s much I’m completely ignorant to when it comes to home building. 🤷🏻‍♀️ : . . . . #newhome #buildingahouse #kitchendesign #kitchen #kitchendecor #kitchenisland #kitchenremodel #kitchenrenovation #kitchensofinstagram #whitecabinets #whitekitchen #whitekitchens #whencanwemovein #subwaytile #subwaytilebacksplash Tile in the master bath is in! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I got a question for y’all though...do you actually SIT while you’re in the shower?? 🚿🚿🤔🤔 They always use the seat as a selling point but I’m an in and out type of girl...no need to doddle. What about y’all?? Do you just sit there and relax?? Or do you do your business and move on?? Always wondered how many out there actually use the seat for something other than a shampoo stand. . . . #masterbathroom #tile #tiledesign #subwaytile #whitebathroom #graybathroom #bathroomremodel #bathroom #bathroomdesign #bathroomdetails #bathroomrenovation #bathroomdecor Shiplap in the master...✔️🙌🏼 🎉 . Sooooo looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again! ☺️☺️ There’s nothing like sleeping in on Saturday morning when you’re nice and cozy in your OWN BED!! It’s the best!! Fingers crossed I’ll be doing that by late August! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Come on early close date!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼#agirlcandream 😂😂😂 Let’s be real, close dates never come early! 🙄 . I definitely can’t complain today though. We’re having a lazy morning, enjoying our coffee ☕️☕️, and watching the US Women’s Soccer Team go for the win!! 💪🏼💪🏼 ⚽️⚽️ Good luck ladies!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️💙❤️💙❤️ . . . . #shiplap #shiplapceiling #ceilingdesign #masterbedroom #homebuilder #home #homeconstruction #newhome #newhomeconstruction #shiplapwalls #beadboard #woodpaneling #woodworking Backsplash is in!! I know it’s hard to tell from this photo but I promise it’s gray lol. Tough to photograph during a storm with zero lighting and an iPhone 😂😂. I also promise the kitchen will not look like a black and white photo when it’s done! 😂 #therewillbecolor (or wood at least 😉). . . . #subway #subwaytilebacksplash #subwaytile #kitchen #whitefarmhouse #whiteinterior #interiordesign #kitchenproject #kitchenisland #kitchenproducts #neutralkitchen #neutraldecor
