Do you remember this DIY from a few months ago? 👀

Everyone said it wouldn’t hold up… that it would scratch, fade, or wear off with everyday use.

Well—months later and I’m happy to report: it still looks SO good 🤍 No discoloration, no wear, no regrets.

The secret? Sealing that metallic wax finish with two coats of polyurethane 🙌🏼 That step made all the difference in keeping it durable and fresh.

If you’ve been on the fence about trying this—consider this your sign ✨

These Amazon window treatments made ALL the difference 🤍
This window in our new home is absolutely stunning, so I didn’t want to take away from the view—but I did want the space to feel elevated, cozy, and lived-in. Adding window treatments instantly creates a warmer, more inviting atmosphere, and these Roman shades were the perfect choice. The result? A space that feels intentional, welcoming, and perfectly finished.

The Easiest Centerpiece Formula (Anyone Can Do This)👇

Step 1: Start with an anchor piece
Think tray, placemat, or table runner. This helps define the space and gives your centerpiece direction.

Step 2: Add a vase with texture
I usually choose a solid-colored vase with a little texture or character. It doesn’t have to be neutral — just something that fits the overall theme you’re going for!

Step 3: Bring in florals
I used spring stems that can easily carry through the summer months too. Faux or fresh both work beautifully.

Step 4: Add something personal
This is what makes a home feel collected and cozy. I added a watercolor portrait of my dog wearing a USA bandana 🇺🇸🐾

Step 5: Finish with ambience
A candle or rechargeable light instantly adds warmth and makes everything feel more intentional.

Pro tip: Pick a theme!
This Americana-inspired centerpiece will take me straight through Memorial Day and into the Fourth of July ❤️🤍💙

Simple formulas like this make decorating SO much easier. Save this for later and tag me if you recreate it — I’d love to see your centerpiece styling! ✨

This wreath is sooooo good! An awesome all year around wreath. For Christmas I just add some red berries in and a Christmas sash. I went ahead and bought my Fourth of July sash to put on the wreath since we plan to entertain for Memorial Day & 4th of July. Totally elevated our door! Love it!

White kitchens are timeless—and mine isn't going anywhere. 🤍

If you've been told your white kitchen is "out," don't worry. You don't need a full renovation to make it feel warm, inviting, and current. A few simple swaps can completely transform the space.

✨ 3 easy ways to warm up a white kitchen:

1. Swap hardware and outlet covers for brass or gold finishes.
2. Style with wood accents, greenery, and warm-toned decor.
3. Add warm lighting—my favorite trick! This rechargeable lamp from Amerelle instantly makes any space feel cozy.

Sometimes, it's the smallest changes that make the biggest impact. Linked to all my favorite finds!

I wanted to bring a little more warmth and detail into our kitchen… so I swapped out all 55 of our brushed nickel pulls for brushed brass 🤍

I also mixed it up—using one style for the cabinets and another for the drawers—and WOW, the difference it made. It instantly feels cozier, more intentional, and so much more elevated.

It’s the smallest details that people overlook… but they’re the ones that completely transform a space.

Save this if your kitchen needs a simple upgrade ✨

You know that one thing you didn’t realize was ruining your sleep… until you replaced it? 🤍
Yeah… it was my pillow.

I kept waking up with a stiff neck, constantly fluffing it, flipping it—nothing worked. Finally switched to this one and the difference was *immediate*. Better sleep, no neck pain, and it actually holds its shape (!!!)

If you’re not sleeping well, don’t overcomplicate it—start here.

Trust me, your bed will feel like a whole upgrade without changing anything else.

These café curtains added the best five to our kitchen! I absolutely love the softness that it created! Now our kitchen feels warm, welcoming and not quite so white and sterile. If you have a white Kitchen and want to add a pop-up color, this is an awesome option for you and super cost-friendly!

I may switch this space up often, but one thing that never changes—my love for neutral, earthy tones that feel grounded and calm. This setup just *works*, especially with that stunning deer artwork tying everything together 🦌

Mixing greens, blues, and that gorgeous taupe-brown is always a yes for me… and adding a touch of spring greenery made it feel so fresh and alive 🌿

Absolutely in love with this little corner ✨ Shop everything linked!

Designer faux pas… and yes, I’ve been guilty of this one 👀

Visible lamp cords 🤝 instantly taking away from an otherwise beautiful space.
Here’s the thing—it’s not about hiding the cord… it’s about eliminating the need for one altogether.

Rechargeable bulbs = no outlet required, no awkward cord lines, no visual clutter.
Just clean, intentional design that actually feels elevated ✨

This is your reminder that the smallest details make the biggest difference—and this one is an easy win.

These Adidas Samba Jane’s are the cutest shoes! I’ve worn them all week, they are comfortable and look so cute with so many outfits. Today we walked around grayton and seaside for a few hours so I knew wedges were not the way to go today, plus it was like 58* so a closed shoe was a must for me. Casual but elevated, I’m in love!

High–Low Part VI ✨
I’m *completely obsessed* with the Chris Loves Julia collection at Pottery Barn right now. Every single piece feels so intentional — the details, the finishes, the overall mood… it’s truly stunning.

But let’s be real… sometimes that price tag isn’t in the plan. And that’s okay. My goal is always to help create the same feeling and vibe for a space, even if we’re mixing different price points.

These pieces aren’t exact matches, but they capture that same elevated look and layered feel. Think of it as recreating the mood — just with options that work for different budgets.

And honestly… if you haven’t looked at the Chris Loves Julia collection yet, go take a peek. It’s top-notch design and every detail has clearly been thought through. 🤍

Save this for when you’re sourcing pieces and want that high-end look without the stress of one price point.

Final details like this wall plate covering our light switches and electrical outlet is everything. It matches perfectly with our hardware and light fixture and instantly elevates the entire space.
It’s one of those things that’s so often overlooked — because “standard” white plates are just that… standard. And we are anything but standard in this house.
Don’t skip the details. They’re what make a space feel finished, thoughtful, and completely you. ✨

Amerelle has done it again 🤍✨
We just gave our bathroom a little refresh and those basic white plates had to go — especially against our dark wall color. We wanted something that would truly pop, and the Oxford design delivered.
No detail spared on this one. It’s the perfect finishing touch and instantly elevates the entire space. Truly the jewelry of the room ✨

These planters are literally the BEST 😍
Shopping planters online is a gamble — cute online, tiny in real life? Nope. So here I am, all 5’2” of me, giving you the real-life scale you deserve 👏
They’re super lightweight (but don’t look cheap), have built-in drainage at the bottom, and the quality is honestly SO good for the price.

This might be my favorite budget glow-up yet 😮‍🔥
We wanted to update all the finishes in our bathrooms, but replacing everything would’ve been $250+ real quick… faucets, towel hooks, toilet paper holders — it adds up FAST. So I tried this $15 wax metallic finish on our brushed nickel faucet and… WOW.
✨ Major glow-up
✨ Zero fixture swaps
✨ 3 months later and it’s still holding up perfectly
If your hardware feels dated but your budget says “girl, relax” — this is for you 😂
💛Best $15 DIY upgrade, hands down.

New series alert 🚨 High/Low Outdoor Edition!
I found two *amazing* outdoor furniture options — one splurge, one steal — and honestly… both are such good picks.

When choosing outdoor furniture, think about:
✨ How you’ll actually use the space (lounging? hosting? dining?)
✨ Durability for your climate
✨ Comfort (if it’s not cozy, you won’t use it)
✨ Storage + maintenance
✨ Budget that fits your season of life

Both options are linked so you can choose what works best for **your lifestyle and your budget** — because outdoor spaces should feel good *and* make sense financially.
