I’m Kayla, and I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m here to share all the things that fill my heart and home with you! I have a heart for God and I’ve been blessed by the love of my sweet husband, Merrill, and my twins, Braelynn and Bennett. I love decorating, DIYs, and all things paper. I’d say my style is French Country Farmhouse. I like to chalk paint all the things and I really enjoy repurposing thrifty furniture finds. I love browsing craft markets and antique stores. I have a thing for little old churches and hymnals. I’m pretty organized and clean by nature but my twins are helping me loosen those reigns…. just a little bit. I hope you enjoy following along!
If you also love hearing the history and meaning behind names …
In the fall of 2012, Merrill and I purchased a live oak tree and planted it in our front yard. It was planted during our first year of marriage, and was placed right outside the kitchen window so we could see it everyday. With tender care, it grew taller and stronger as the two of us grew closer. We lived in that home with that little tree for almost 3 years and even after moving we still refer to it as our little love tree. I wanted the name of this business to remind me of my marriage, and Live Oak Boutique was the perfect fit. It’s my husband’s love that allows me to chase after my dreams with open arms. He is my biggest fan, and he whole-heartedly believes in me and my God-given talents. Earlier this year (2019), I decided I wanted to start sharing more about my family and my love of making our house a home so I changed my business name to Live Oak Nest. And it’s here you will find all the things that fill my heart and home. Enjoy!
