Finally splurged on these gingerbread houses since I found them on sale! They’re even better in person and I love the kitschy nostalgia they bring to the kitchen.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

If we’re being honest this feels like my Super Bowl.

#vintage #shinybrite #vintagechristmas #christmas #collection #antiques

Your kitchen deserves some Christmas decor and holiday styling too! I love a more kitschy Christmas in the kitchen so adding these gingerbread houses with a vintage Christmas tree felt perfect. Some simple winter artwork in the background and a dish of peppermints made for the finishing touches! 🎄🍬

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

Traditional inspired Christmas in my cozy tv room. A dark color palette, red bows, nutcrackers, tartan, candles, crystal decor, and traditional garland and Christmas tree give this room a classic Christmas feel. #interiordesign #christmasdecor #ralphlauren #holiday #moody

The theme this year is more.

If you’re a vintage Christmas lover, this one’s for you. 🎄❤️

My flocked tree is dressed exclusively in vintage ornaments I’ve been collecting over the past two years… and honestly? I think I could still add more.

It took two full days to decorate, so you’d better believe I’ll be showing her off nonstop over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more vintage Christmas ✨🎄🎁

Everything was going too smoothly… until my paint sprayer turned on me. 🤦‍♀️ One wrong-way nozzle and suddenly I’m pressure-washing primer onto my dentil molding and wiping drips for hours. A humbling moment in an otherwise dreamy transformation.

The silver lining? I’m using the new flat eggshell finish @farrowandball for my topcoat and it’s going to be my saving grace. I used the same finish in my primary bathroom and loved how durable it was, but it’s also soft enough to help disguise those tiny primer mishaps I definitely didn’t catch. A win for both beauty and forgiveness.

For the trim work and walls I went with Joa’s White - the perfect saturated warm cream that’s already making me swoon. For the ceiling I went a couple shades lighter with the color Dimity and it’s proving to be the perfect compliment.

Every DIYer has their fair share of mistakes, even if they’re embarrassing to share publicly. What’s your take on this? Do you want to see more of the real mistakes… or just the satisfying reveals?

This is the 7’ flocked Noble with warm LED lights. I wanted the 8’ but they were sold out so I just popped this on a suitcase and wrapped a furry blanket around it. I think it works! Seriously check the open box section!

A glimpse of Christmas in my cozy tv room. Every year I change my decorations just a little. This year I layered cedar garland as a base and the prelit hemlock garland on top. Some premade bright red bows flanking the corners gave it a little something extra and my white ceramic village on the bookshelves adds more glow. So happy with how the Christmas decor is shaping up this year 🎄

Sharing a look at some new home decor and mantel artwork in the living room. It’s been so fun to design and style this space with a bright color palette and I think this artwork is perfect!

#LTKHome #LTKvlog

Obsessed with this new artwork above the fireplace mantel! For now I’m keeping the design simple but I think some sconces could also work eventually. Tagging everything I can here including this one strand of garland that’s so lush it can stand on its own! #livingroomdeckr #styling #interiordesign #garland

This room has been quietly waiting for its moment, and this week it finally started to come to life.

When I first walked into this office it felt flat and unfinished, the kind of space you rush past instead of spend time in. Once the old peel and stick wallpaper came down (an covid eraproject I regretted) and I stripped it back to a true white box, the vision finally had room to take shape.

From there, every layer shifted the energy. The trim added the architectural detail I’ve been craving, and the dentil crown molding brought in that classic, traditional feel that grounds the entire room. It already feels like such a different space thanks to the gorgeous woodwork from @ornamentalmoulding @novobp.

And now we’re onto the part I’ve been so excited for. I’ll be spraying all of the trim in Joa’s White from @farrowandball. It’s the dreamiest warm cream, and I know it’s going to make the room feel cozy, inviting, and genuinely inspiring to work in.

After that, the mural wallpaper from @belartestudio goes up and then it’s finally time to decorate!

Follow along if you love watching a room rebuild its character one thoughtful layer at a time. The next chapter of this space is going to be a good one ✨

Come with me because it’s time to pick a paint color for the home office!

One of the reasons I love this vintage tapestry wallpaper mural from @belartestudio is because it naturally ties into the existing color scheme in my house, which will ultimately make for a cohesive design. Walk with me as I pair this paper with 3 paint color ideas.

Which one are you voting for?
1 - Treron
2 - London Clay
3 - Joa’s White

Your future self will thank you for these ornament storage organization bags. I love the trays, dividers and the fact that they stack! Such a great low cost investment to store and protect your ornaments!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday

Last year I invested in two of these ornament storage containers for my vintage Shiny Brite collection, and I cannot believe what a difference they made. Being organized and able to see everything at once made decorating so much more enjoyable this year.

The trays have dividers, they stack neatly, and you can even label the bag if you want. They worked so well that I just ordered two more.

The living room decor is always evolving! The new Calais Chandelier I just hung is such a showstopper and I still can't believe I found this on FBMP. I'm thinking of swapping out the mirror above the fireplace for some artwork like what I have tagged here. My fireplace mantel styling ideas are always evolving and it's fun to mix things up! I’m loving how the new curtains compliment the entire room. #livingroom #livingroomdecor #mantelstyling #fireplaceideas #interiordesign #luxurylighting

#LTKStyleTip #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50

Living room decor updates. I love mixing old and new, and different styles of decor. This vintage bufffet with a more modern mirror, styled with a simple candle on some design books. And you can’t forget the tassel!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

The living room is quickly becoming one of my favorite rooms in the house. While much of my living room decor was sourced secondhand, I have a few new pieces sprinkled in and I’ve managed to find some look a likes for you of the vintage goodies. #livingroomdecor #lovingroomideas #vintage #collected #interiordesign #luxury

Walking you through this new caulking tool I just found and love. It will save you all the time and mess during your next diy project!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

I used to hate caulking — it always felt tedious and messy. But the truth is, it’s one of those finishing steps that can completely make or break a project. A clean bead of caulk is what separates a DIY job from a professional one.

Then I tried this little silicone caulking tool… and game over. Perfect lines, zero cleanup, no mountains of paper towels, no baby wipes, no stress.

It’s the kind of tool you use once and immediately wonder how you ever lived without it.

For the office I’m painting last so I’m using regular paintable caulk. My favorite kind is Big Stretch by @sashcoinc (same that I used for the bathroom) #diy #diyprojects #homeimprovement #caulk

Depending on the order of install for your project tintable caulk is such an amazing time saver! For the kitchen last year I painted the cabinets first, but needed to hand paint the backsplash (to get in the grooves) before I could install. Therefore I had to wait to caulk last. This saved me a step and made for a seamless look! #diy #diyprojects #homeimprovement

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

Tintable caulk is my new DIY obsession — it lets you perfectly color-match your caulk to your paint!

eXact Color takes the guesswork out and gives a seamless, professional finish every time. Just add your paint, shake, and go — it’s that simple. I’ll never buy “paintable” caulk again.

You’ve probably heard of paintable caulk — but have you heard of tintable caulk?

I’m all about working smarter, not harder, especially with a large-scale renovation like a kitchen. eXact Color takes the guesswork out by letting you color match your caulk to your paint — and it couldn’t be easier.

Here’s how it works:
• Snip the caulk tube open
• Add 20 ml of your paint (measuring tool included)
• Screw the lid on and shake for 60 seconds
• Add the provided thickener
• Shake again for 60 seconds
• Wait 30 minutes
• Caulk as usual

I’ll never buy “paintable” caulk again — once you try this, you won’t either. Total game-changer. Comment SHOP to see for yourself!

Crown molding can make a room — but it can also make you want to pull your hair out if you don’t know a few key basics.

Turns out, explaining it in a quick video isn’t much easier! I tried to break down the essentials here, but if you’d rather take it step-by-step, there’s a full blog post up on AllisonSkiff.com today. It covers exactly how to measure, cut, and install crown molding like a pro — including my go-to tools, tips for perfect corners, and how to fill and finish for that seamless look.

I used classic dentil molding for my home office makeover, and I’m already obsessed with how much character it adds.

All the supplies are linked here and a full tutorial is live on AllisonSkiff.com

Have you ever installed crown molding before? Let me know what questions you still have — I’m happy to help!

Everyone loves this vintage pendant chandelier so much and I do too. Unfortunately it’s vintage so I don’t have an exact link for you but there are some close look-a-likes out there. I’ve picked a handful I’d recommend for bathroom lighting ideas.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKHome

Answering your most frequently asked questions about the primary bathroom renovation!

Paint color: Walls and trim are Jitney and the ceiling is Stirabout—both in Flat Eggshell by @farrowandball

Vanity flip: My favorite trick in the book that requires no stripping and just a light scuff! I used @retiqueitliquidwood (4 coats total) and topped it with 2 coats of Dark Walnut gel stain by @varathane The finish is to die for.

Countertop: Calacatta Fiorto marble—and the best part? I found it in the remnant section and saved a ton!

Chandelier: A special antique store find, but I’ve rounded up plenty of similar options at all price points. Comment SHOP and I’ll send them straight to your inbox.

Favorite part: Taking this space from a plain white box I used to rush through to a warm, inviting retreat full of character—all by myself.

Binge my feed to see the entire transformation!
