These flicker like the real thing and screw into any standard socket.

Grabbed these bamboo silverware and striped napkins for some outdoor hosting and they’ve been so fun! A little vintage and nostalgia flair for summer 💛

#outdoorhosting #summerhosting

This is the cutest pitcher for summer hosting! I’ve been using it for coffee, water and orange juice and it adds so much charm to any setting!

This striped pool float is a must have! A fabric like materials keeps things comfy rather than sticky and I love the stripes and piping! #poolideas #summerhosting #poolparty

#LTKSeasonal

Obsessed with the stripes on this new pool sling! It was leather piping and clips to clip to another one too - perfect for a pool or even a lake day!

Trying out this new floating tray today! It literally floats in the pool and holds so much! Showing you the scale here so you can get an idea!

I took brunch to the pool. Then I took it into the pool. No notes. 📝

Brunch at the pool, turned into brunch in the pool, turned into me deciding I live here now. And I’m blown away at this floating tray!

It’s all @wayfair and it’s all coming back in the pool with me this weekend.

A DIY paint job can look just as good as a professional one... the difference is usually just the tools.

I’ve been painting for over 20 years (my college job was painting the exterior of condos!) and in my current house I’ve tackled walls, trim, ceilings, cabinets, you name it. The number one thing I see people get wrong isn’t their technique, it’s that they’re doing every single job with the same basic brush.

Here’s my roster and what I use each tool for:

A paint edger for crisp lines with no tape. I find these best for vertical surfaces...ceilings were a little tough to get the pressure right.

A sprayer for that ultra smooth, professional finish. I used mine for my kitchen cabinets as well as my dentil crown molding which was very detailed.

A lidded paint cup so you can pick up where you left off without cleaning everything out. Usually most projects require 2 coats and a days worth of drying time. These have been so handy!

And paint pens for the touch-ups that would otherwise require breaking out the whole setup again.

These aren’t fancy, they’re just the right tools for the right job.

Save this before your next paint project & follow for more DIY tips & tricks!

Whether you’re the person who genuinely enjoys a fresh coat of paint or the one who just wants it finished without the chaos, this tool is for you.

I’ve painted enough rooms in this house to have strong opinions about what works and this is the one thing I wish I’d had from the start. It cut my time in half, gave me an even, smooth finish and the thing i didn’t expect — no splatter. Not on the floor, not on the trim, not on me.

If you have a project coming up, save yourself the mess.

Making a trophy case for my trophies: my vintage Lenox Garden spice set! #DremelPartner

My favorite FBMP find deserved something better than basic, so I teamed up with @dremel to create this custom vintage spice rack.

#BISSELLpartner The renovation tax is real and it will take over your entire home if you let it.
Mid-project I am a human pig pen. In and out all day, tracking every surface I’ve touched directly onto my floors. I don’t have the bandwidth to vacuum and then mop on top of everything else I’m doing, so I stopped doing it two separate ways.

The BISSELL CrossWave Turbo does both at the same time, allowing me to make one pass and switch surfaces with the push of a button. And my favorite part? It cleans itself afterwards! Working smarter, not harder, so I can stay focused on the actual build.

The best little compact tool that packs a punch! The Dremel portable saw station is truly a jack of all trades and it packs up nice and neat when done! #diy #homeimprovement #diyprojects #beginnerfriendly

Laundry room part 2: building my first ever cabinets! #diy #homeimprovement #diyprojects #laundryroom

Grabbed these new track pants from @Spanx and I’m loving how light weight they are! Also got the matching jacket - it’s too cute!

Simple faux wildflower stems that look effortless and relaxed. These are perfect from transitioning from spring to summer!

If you’re removing baseboards grab one of these pry tools instead of an actual pry bar. It will save your drywall and make it a bit easier than it would be otherwise!

This transformation is going to be 🔥

This laundry room has made my skin crawl for 8 years. My peel & stick tiles and popcorn ceiling removal were basically putting lipstick on a pig, and I’ve been living with it half finished for years.

Now it’s finally getting what it deserves.

I’m adding the appliance of my dreams: an at-home dry cleaning machine. But I couldn’t put baby in the corner, so I thought “let’s build floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and really blow this out!” Fun fact: I’ve never built anything 3D in my life before.

The goal is a laundry room that feels warm, elevated, and in sync with the rest of the house. Not just a place to do laundry but a command center designed for how I actually live.

This room has been begging to leave the 90s. Follow along to see if I can pull this off!

My favorite faux stems! These limelight hydrangeas and the perfect piece of spring and summer home decor. I have them in both white and green. 8 total styled here.

@Alice Lane #alicelanehome #alicelanehomecollection #interiordesign #homedecor #springdecor

One of my favorite styling pieces: this brass hand bookmark is such a fun conversation piece! Display a coffee table book opened to a favorite image, lay this on top and you have a piece of artwork on your table!

@Alice Lane #alicelanehome #alicelanehomecollection #interiordesign #homedecor

This Italian hand blown pink dish is such a statement piece! Would be perfect for jewelry, candy or simply stacked on top of a set of books.

He quoted me $670 to fix a drawer. Over the phone. From a photo. Without measurements. Without ever seeing it in person.

That was the moment something snapped. I’d been handed ridiculous quotes by people who took one look at me and decided I didn’t know any better and for a long time, I let it happen because I didn’t think I had any other option. Not this time.

Instead of fixing the drawer, I renovated the whole kitchen.

Painted the cabinets. Ripped out the glass tile backsplash and put in paneling. Painted my dark granite counters to look like faux marble. Swapped every hinge to soft close. New light fixture. Island back in.

I didn’t know how to do most of it when I started. I started anyway.

The difference between a room that looks “done” and one that feels designed?

It’s the details no one thinks to upgrade.

These brass toggle switches (one dimmer, one standard) are one of my favorite high-touch swaps in my dining room. You use them every single day—why shouldn’t they feel as considered as your lighting or wallpaper?

It’s a small shift, but it changes how the whole space feels.

Design isn’t just what you see. It’s what you touch.

Dining room views lately. Forever in love with the combo of the bubble chandelier and this floral wallpaper 🤍

I loved this table but the black finish was not it.

I was this 🤏 close to getting rid of it… but decided for one last Hail Mary before calling it quits. And I’m so glad I did!

Now it finally has that warm wood tone I wanted and actually fits my space.

If you’ve been thinking about replacing something you already own, try this first.

Tagging what I used here for you!

Save this for later if you have a piece you’ve been thinking about updating.

I thought the home office was done… until I actually tried working in it.

Turns out “beautiful natural light” isn’t so beautiful when it’s hitting your screen every afternoon. The GE Smart Shades by @gelighting were the missing piece. They still let in that soft, diffused light but actually make the space usable when the sun shifts. And I can control them with the push of a button (or honestly, just ask my smart assistant). They’re quiet, streamlined, and do the heavy lifting in the background without stealing the show.

The finishing touch this room didn’t know it needed, and neither did I. Your room is next.
