I’ve got my game face on. 🎄✨

While the world’s out shopping for new decor, I’m unwrapping memories…the Shiny Brites that belonged to my grandmother, her tree topper, plus the glass ornaments I continue to collect. All part of my Christmas story!

This isn’t just tree trimming…it’s storykeeping.

If you’re the kind who decorates with meaning, not minimalism… you’re in the right place. ❤️

Thanksgiving Tablescape Tuesday – Week 3
 This table came together like a little scrapbook of my life… a tablecloth from India, my mom’s glassware, my grandmother’s brass candlesticks, and a Christmas gift from my best friend (that gold bamboo flatware 💛).

It’s a mix of stories, colors, and people I love. And it’s proof that a table doesn’t have to be super matchy to be beautiful. It just has to mean something.

Would you call your holiday style eclectic or classic this year? I’d love to know what story your table will tell.

#sentimentalhome #thesentimentaldecorator #sentimentalstyle #styleyourstory #meaningfulhomedecor

What makes a home feel meaningful? I’ve thought about this a lot, especially as I’ve gathered, styled, and written about the pieces that I have in my home. It’s not just the things themselves. It’s the why behind them.

The memory tied to a dish. The person behind the photograph. The ritual that makes an ordinary day feel sacred.

Our homes truly hold our stories. And when we take the time to listen, they teach us so much about who we are and what we love. I’m exploring this more over the next few weeks while I prep and prepare for the holiday season, practically and tenderly. And I’d love to do it together.

I’ll share simple ways I’m weaving memory, ritual, and warmth into my rooms, and I’d love to hear what you’re trying, too.

Drop one sentence that finishes this thought: “My home feels meaningful when ____.

People ask how I’d describe my style… and honestly, the answer’s simple. Sentimental
.
Because every piece in my home means something — from the heirlooms passed down to the treasures I’ve collected along the way. Each one tells a story, and together they tell mine.

That’s the heart of Sentimental Style — a home that feels beautiful because it’s personal.

Honestly, I’m talking to myself here. Some nights it’s so easy to crash on the couch with dinner and a show. But every time I take a few extra minutes to set the table (even just for one), I feel the difference.

Lighting a candle, using my favorite dishes, slowing down… it all turns an ordinary evening into something intentional. A little ritual that reminds me that my life, even lived solo, is still worth celebrating every day.

I’m not saying my dishes have their own personality…but they do require a little extra attention. And ‘tis the season to bring the fall and Christmas beauties front and center!

Between the stacks, the stories, and the endless rearranging, this pantry might be my favorite corner of the house.

Every plate has a past life…gifts from people I love, thrift store finds, treat myself moments, and heirloom sets passed down with love. But somehow, they’ve all found their way home here.

My nephews and niece (and their parents and grandparents) came over to celebrate my birthday this weekend, and I wanted to have a little bit of spooky season fun for the kids! I set up a pumpkin painting station along with a candy charcuterie board – with most of the items coming from Target! Such a fun way to celebrate the season with Littles! And the adults loved the charcuterie as well.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKHalloween

Happy new week!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

The snug is officially 90s-nostalgic and ready for cozy season. Almost complete — just waiting on the perfect ottoman for my feet (and the pups) to land on.

I pulled in warm colors and nostalgic textures, restyled the bookshelf (thanks to inspo from @mirth_and_maximalism!), and finally got some art on the walls. Will I add more? Maybe. For now, it feels just right: layered, lived-in, and ready for autumn evenings at home.

Do you ever feel like a room tells you when it’s done… or are you a “forever tweaking” type like me?

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Fall is in the air! I’m slowly layering in warm, vintage-inspired pieces as the season shifts. Autumn doesn’t rush in all at once here. But a few little touches help me ease into the cozy months ahead.

Here are 5 vintage-inspired ways to bring that warm, nostalgic feeling into your home this fall:

1️⃣ Swap light linens for richer tones & textures — think plaid throws, tapestry pillows, or embroidered runners 2️⃣ Use vintage crocks, vases, pitchers, or transferware for fall branches, mums, or dried hydrangeas 3️⃣ Add autumn-hued or harvest-themed vintage finds — think leaf motifs, amber glass, or turkey platters 4️⃣ Light warm, spiced candles adn display on brass or silver trays for that golden glow 5️⃣ Incorporate woven baskets & wooden bowls filled with seasonal treasures like pinecones, pumpkins, or apples

What vintage-inspired touches do you bring into your home for fall? Tell me in the comments!

It’s a beautiful morning, and I’m actually wearing a little bit of sleeve for the first time. Crisp air after a stormy Friday makes me happy!

FRIDAY FEELS

My favorite scent of the season…Bath & Body Works Leaves!

Inside My Dish Pantry: September Edition

This month’s shelves are full of fall charm and a touch of Thanksgiving tradition. Here’s what’s making an appearance:

🍂Canonsburg Pottery Ironstone Gold – classic and warm, like autumn sunlight on the table
🍂Johnson Brothers Friendly Village – multiple cozy scenes that feel like walking through a storybook fall day… my Grannie’s that we used every Thanksgiving Day
🍂Spode Buttercup – I know she leans spring/summer, but I adore her soft yellows and greens mixed into a fall palette
🍂J.G. Meakin Romantic England Ironstone – timeless with a harvest feel
🍂Johnson Brothers Staffordshire Bouquet – florals that somehow feel right at home in September and November both
🍂Myott Thanksgiving (archived illustrations recreated by Churchill) – a sentimental nod to Thanksgivings past
🍂Bordallo Pinheiro Turkey – the perfect addition

Each season shifts the spotlight just a little, and this month the pantry feels especially nostalgic…ready for gatherings, gratitude, and all the cozy meals (and pretty tablescapes!) ahead.

Summer’s curtain call, starring my zinnias. It’s the last Friday Flowers before pumpkins steal the spotlight.

Who else is team fresh flowers on the table all year long?

The light is changing. ☀️🍂 Morning sun feels a little more golden these days, and even the smallest fall touches seem to glow.

I love how you can sense a season shift just by the way the light hits your kitchen table. #almostfall

Sometimes it’s the smallest switch that makes a room feel complete.

For my snug, these golden velvet curtains from @halfpricedrapes were the missing piece. The glow, the weight, the way they frame the window — it all pulled the space together in the most cozy, 90s nostalgic way.

Because the right finishing touch? It changes everything.

I’ve linked these beauties + more of the velvet options in my LTK Shop. Comment “DRAPES” to learn more about Half Price Drapes on LTK.

A little bit of fall is sneaking in…limelights drying in a patina-ed wire urn, woven pumpkins on the mantel, a favorite glass pumpkin added to the coffee table vignette and my Grannie’s Franciscan Apple platter by the kitchen sink.

Just a few cozy + sentimental layers to usher in the season.

I’m in the mood to dream up my tablescapes for fall …

And while I plan, I can’t help but look back at years gone by for inspo. From heirloom layers to simple seasonal touches, each table tells its own little story.

I hope this round-up sparks ideas for your own autumn gatherings. Sometimes all it takes is a favorite dish pattern, a cozy candle glow, or a touch of seasonal color to make the table feel special.

Swipe through and let me know. Which look is your favorite?

Pillow covers I love for fall and for every day… With a cozy 90s nostalgia vibe.

The September Switch… Changing the vintage months-of-the-year tea towel, retiring the Botanic Garden in favor of some classic blue and white, using Johnson Brothers Friendly Village on the stoveside utilities tray, and adding a couple of ceramic pumpkins for good measure. It’s almost fall, y’all!

And it’s only Monday.

Welcome to the wild world of sentimental style in motion.
 Some women lift weights… I lift furniture (over and over again).

Does it make sense? Not always. Does it spark joy? Absolutely.

Proof that rearranging counts as cardio.

There’s a certain quiet magic to this time of year. 
The plants still thriving, but the light is turning golden as we wait patiently for fall.

A soft shift. A little longing. And a whole lot of beauty in the in-between.

When people say “they don’t make them like they used to”…this is what they mean.

Triple crown molding, dentil details, pocket door scallops, yellow tile, even a brass letter slot in the front door…these little things are what make older homes feel so special.

They tell a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and time. And honestly? That’s what makes me fall in love with my 1953 home over and over again.

What’s your favorite “they don’t make it like this anymore” detail in your own home (or one you’ve admired)?

A little roundup of what home has looked like this month — snapshots of vintage treasures, sentimental details, and everyday rituals that make this house feel like mine.

Nothing fancy, just the moments I’ve been enjoying and the corners that have brought me joy. Now bring on fall!

August’s featured pattern is one I reach for again and again — Portmeirion Botanic Garden. It’s cheerful, collectible, and so easy to mix and match. Here’s how I styled it three ways, with a blend of heirloom touches and summer charm:

🌿 Casual Charm Botanic Garden pasta bowls are paired with Fitz & Floyd’s Sicily Green dinner plates, all set atop woven placemats and a green block print tablecloth. I kept it simple with taupe striped napkins, bamboo flatware, and Whitehall tea glasses for an easy, breezy summer table.

💗 Sentimental Story Vintage pink placemats from my maternal grandmother lay the foundation here, topped with my mom’s white Pier 1 chargers and Spode St. Catherine’s Court dinner plates. I added Botanic Garden bowls, green block print napkins, and my paternal grandmother’s Whitehall glasses for a look full of layers and legacy. The Staffordshire Dog salt & pepper shakers were a sweet gift from my brother and sis-in-law.

🪴 Everyday Elegance This cheerful summer table features Botanic Garden dinner plates layered on bright green placemats along with green and white striped napkins, pink glass tumblers, woven napkin rings, and bamboo flatware. Styled to make summer feel like a celebration. All available at @wayfair (shop in my bio), all styled to make summer feel like a celebration.

Which look speaks to you — 1, 2, or 3?

The secret? Not instant makeovers. Not the next big trend. Just time. Layer by layer, story by story. That’s how a home becomes unforgettable.
