Hi, I’m Emily! After 25 years teaching high school Marketing, I retired early and started sharing the way I style, update, and truly live in our family home in Florida.
Married at 36, mom at 40, and now raising our 7-year-old in our 12th (!!) house.
I’ve always loved finding homes with potential and updating them to feel high-end on a real-life budget.
Follow along for DIYs, decor tips, Amazon & Target finds, and everyday life at the lagoon 🏖️

The whimsy of our daughter’s playroom is so sweet 💕 the abundant storage cabinets and curtains are the necessity but the rest I can have a little fun with so I added some ruffles and lace! May I always remember that little girls are so precious 🫶🏻 #targetfind #anthropologie #playroom #littlegirls #neutralrooms #simpledecor

Welcome to my LTK! I am Emily and I am 47 years old and I love simple but stylish home decor and outfits for myself and our 7 year old daughter! Hope to see you around 🫶🏻

If wallpaper intimidates you, I promise it’s more doable than it looks. 🤍

I’ve wallpapered a LOT of rooms in our homes over the years, and I’ve definitely learned that not all wallpaper is created equal. There are brands I’ve used that I wouldn’t use again.

So I’m sharing some of the wallpapers and brands I’ve personally used and would recommend.

If you’ve been wanting to try wallpaper but have been nervous to start, save this for when you’re ready!

One tip: If you have textured walls like we do, lightly sand them and wipe them down really well before you start. It makes a big difference!

Five home purchases that have been worth every penny after actually living with them.

Some things aren’t worth splurging on, but these are the purchases I’d make again without hesitation:

• A timeless wood bed that will never go out of style.
• Classic leather chairs that work in almost any room.
• A living room rug that can pull your whole main living space together.
• The best washing machine you can afford—it makes a difference when you’re doing laundry week after week.
• A refrigerator with a hidden self-filling water pitcher so you always have cold water without ruining the aesthetic of your kitchen.

These aren’t necessarily the trendiest purchases in our home, but they’re the ones that have made the biggest difference over time.

What home purchase has been worth every penny for you? 👇

I know the Frame TVs are beautiful… but I just couldn’t justify the $$ for the look.

So I started looking for a way to make ours feel a little more custom instead.

This peel-and-stick trim ended up being one of the easiest DIYs I’ve done!

If you’ve been eyeing a Frame TV too, this is worth trying first.

Comment FRAME and I’ll send you everything I used!

Target run done ✏️🚌
Got all the school supplies and everything we need for the first day ✅
My daughter’s a little cowgirl so she loves this Cat and Jack set but I also love the cheetah print with the pink bows! They have race cars and Dino’s too!
Check out Target for school supplies now while it’s all on sale!
I linked everything we got!

If you love the look of custom built-ins but don’t love the price, this is one of my favorite tricks. Instead of paying for built-ins, I pushed multiple cabinets together to create one large storage wall—and it completely changed the feel of this room.

The best part? It gives you tons of hidden storage while looking polished, and this trick works in almost any room of the house.

I’ve linked the cabinets (mine are the Satin Walnut) and a few of my favorite styling pieces here if you want to recreate the look in your own home.

No one told me a playroom could look like this.

When we designed ours, I wanted it to feel like it belonged with the rest of our home—not like an afterthought filled with bright plastic everywhere.

The secret wasn’t having fewer toys. It was giving everything a place behind closed storage while keeping it easy for my daughter to access.

These cabinets have been one of the best purchases we’ve made, and paired with this rug, they completely changed the feel of the room.

If you’re trying to create a playroom that’s beautiful and functional, these are two pieces I’d buy again.

Some people know it’s fall when the pumpkins come out…

I know it’s fall when the Georgia pillow comes out. ❤️🖤🏈

Priorities. 😅

Who’s your team? Because this adorable little US company makes pillows and towels for lots of teams ❤️🖤🏈

$My husband said, “No more projects…” 😂 But this one was worth it. I found this big planter on sale and turned it into a DIY fountain with a pump, copper pipe, and a hidden 5-gallon bucket inside. We filled the extra space with empty plastic bottles before adding the rocks, which saved us from needing a ton of stone. Then we found an actual fountain on clearance because it was missing all of its internal parts. Since we already knew how to build one, we added new guts to it too… so now we have TWO fountains for a fraction of what we’d have spent buying them new. I linked the supplies we used if you want to recreate one for your patio or backyard! 💧🤍 #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal$

$If you’ve ever loved the look of those oversized designer consoles but not the designer price tag, this is one of my favorite decorating tricks. Instead of buying one expensive piece, I use multiple cabinets pushed together to create the look of one large custom console. It gives you tons of hidden storage, looks high-end, and costs a fraction of what a built-in or luxury console would. I’ve used this trick in three different spots around my house, and I still think it’s one of the best ways to get a custom look on a budget. I linked all of the cabinets here so you can recreate the look in your own home. #LTKHome$

When I saw this on Today’s Deals I had to share. These are perfect under any sink and you can get a set of 2 for $19.99 today (instead of $29.99)!
They do come in white also.

One of the prettiest brass finds I’ve seen lately! ✨ I was so surprised to find this café shelf at Kohl’s, and it’s on sale for just $31 with the current code- GET20. It’s perfect for styling a bathroom, kitchen, coffee bar, or even a small entryway. I linked it here before it sells out! 🤍
Personally I would get 2 and stack them behind a toilet or in a kitchen!

You don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics to have an organized home.
We all have stuff, probably more than we need, but if we are intentional we can keep it under wraps 😉
Or behind doors, lids and tops in my case 🤣

Save this one if you’ve been eyeing those expensive end-of-bed benches. 🤍

This simple upgrade turned an affordable bench into a custom-looking king-size bench with nothing more than a set of $4 screw-in legs. No power tools, no woodworking, and no complicated DIY.

I linked the bench, the legs, and everything you need to recreate the look. It’s one of my favorite budget-friendly ways to get a high-end look without the designer price tag.

Cupshe actually does provide coverage at an affordable price!

If you’re looking for a swimsuit that’s cute and actually offers great coverage, this one is worth checking out. ☀️ I love that it has a flattering fit, a cute back detail, and enough coverage to feel comfortable for pool days, beach trips, and family vacations.

I’m wearing an XL, but I could have comfortably sized down to a Large for a more fitted look.

Linking it here for anyone shopping for summer swimsuits, vacation outfits, mom swimsuits, beach vacation outfits, or resort wear. 🌴👙

I pushed two of these wood buffets together to give me eight cabinets of storage in the playroom on our main floor because I could not handle open toy storage!!!
To make these inexpensive cabinets fit with my decor instead of using the wood handles that came with them I got some gold ones that literally stick on from Amazon and before you ask if that will last these have been on here for two years and haven’t budged an inch!

I linked everything I could!

Some of my favorite home purchases have been storage pieces that don’t just hide the clutter—they actually add to the look of my home. 🤍

These are the 5 aesthetic storage finds I’d buy again in a heartbeat because they’ve helped keep my spaces organized while still feeling warm, cozy, and intentional. They’re functional, beautiful, and the kind of pieces I use every single day.

If you’re looking for storage that works hard without looking bulky or boring, these are definitely worth checking out.

#LTKHome

Gotta have closed toy storage for your playroom!!
You might say but how can the kids clean up themselves? Use bins for them to throw the toys in and then put them into the cabinets 👏🏻👏🏻
Ta-da!!

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKKids

Have an empty wall space that’s less than 48” across?
You can truly make this mudroom wall in less than a weekend!
I linked all the pieces of wood that I used to make this here!
There is a corner piece of trim for the outside corner, 1 1/4” trim pieces for the top and the inside corner and the remaining piece of trim sits on top of your baseboard for you to sit the 4x8 panel on 😉

A little trashy. A little classy. 😂

Turns out my pantry has great taste.

I kept the builder-grade wire shelves and made them so much more functional by adding pull-out drawers, clear bins, and a few zip ties instead of ripping everything out. It looks cleaner, it’s easier to find what I need, and it cost a lot less than a full pantry makeover.

I’ve linked the pull-out drawers, the clear bins, and the zip ties I used if you want to copy this setup.

Save this for your pantry organization day! 🤍

I’ve wallpapered more rooms than I can count, so I’ve learned pretty quickly which brands are worth buying… and which ones aren’t.

This is one I’d recommend again and again.

It was affordable, easy to work with, lined up beautifully, and completely transformed this little nook.

Not every peel-and-stick wallpaper is created equal, and after trying a lot of them over the years, this one earned a spot on my favorites list.

I linked the exact wallpaper if you’re planning a project of your own. Save this for later, and let me know what space you’d wallpaper next!

For every country concert, you can find me in cut off shorts, a T-shirt, boots and a hat! First step for me is to figure out which boots I’m going to wear so you can see me trying on a couple pairs in this picture.
Then I wear a good country T-shirt in this case it’s the one that says my playlist be like and it shows Post Malone, who I was going to see Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, and Dolly Parton 🤠
Keep in mind that I’m 48 years old so these shorts I did get from American Eagle but they’re stretchy you can’t tell they’re stretchy but they’re super comfortable. I have them in back and I also have them in denim for that reason!!
Had to also grab a net back hat and a fan for this heat 🥵
I’ll link everything I can for your next concert! This was such a fun date night for us. I hope you have a blast!

These are the pieces you all keep coming back to. 🤍

Florida summer + perimenopause = I was desperate for a blanket that didn’t make me wake up overheated. ☀️🥵

I’ve been using this cooling blanket on our king bed, and it’s lightweight, soft, and actually comfortable to sleep with when the AC alone isn’t cutting it.

If you’re a hot sleeper (or your partner keeps stealing the covers 😅), this one’s worth a look. I’ve linked it and they have it in several colors. Mine is the light blue.

Here is my discount code for 10% off also: P9I4XULV 🤩🤩

Save this for the next heat wave! 💙

My peel-and-stick wallpaper didn’t work out… and honestly, I’m so glad it didn’t.

Instead, I stenciled this wall, and I actually love the finished look even more. It gave me the look of wallpaper while letting me use the exact same paint color as the trim below, so everything feels cohesive.

A few things I learned:
✔️ Use less paint than you think to prevent bleeding.
✔️ Tape the stencil in place with blue painter’s tape.
✔️ If you have textured walls, use a thicker nap roller.
✔️ Set the stencil on a scrap board or sheet between moves, and wipe the paint off the back before repositioning it.
✔️ Finish all the full sections before cutting the stencil for the edges.

If you’ve been thinking about trying a stencil, I linked the one I used. 🤍

Save this for your next DIY project, and comment STENCIL if you have any questions!

#LTKHome

If I were starting over, this is exactly how I’d organize toys downstairs. 🤍

The goal wasn’t to hide everything—it was to make cleanup fast enough that we’d actually stick with it. Closed cabinets keep the visual clutter out of sight, while the bins, rolling art cart, and hanging storage give everything a designated home.

I’ve linked every piece I used, from the cabinets to the storage solutions, so you can recreate the system that works best for your space.

It’s always the little details that make a room feel special. 🤍

I added this lightweight gauze blanket with delicate lace trim to Ella’s room, and it instantly softened the whole space. It has that airy, layered look I love while still being cozy enough for everyday use.

If you’re decorating a little girl’s room and want something timeless and sweet, this is such a beautiful finishing touch. I’ve linked it along with the rest of her room.

#LTKHome #LTKKids #LTKmomlife

I bought these shelves because I couldn’t decide which size to use…

Funny enough, I ended up using both 😜.

In our movie room, they filled an awkward blank between two oversized prints. I styled one with one of my daughter’s first show ribbons and the other with an antique horseshoe to tie into the horse vibes. She was so proud to see that I used her ribbon 🥇

The second set went above a bathroom toilet, where they display a few meaningful pieces—a china candlestick from my grandmother, a small prayer book, and a few fun accents.

I love finding decor that works in more than one room and gives you a place to display the things that matter most—not just more stuff.

They’re currently 40% off at Kirkland’s, so I wanted to share them while they’re on sale.

🤍 Save this for the next time you’re staring at a blank wall and wondering what to put there. Follow along for decorating ideas that make your home feel beautiful, personal, and collected.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never liked putting on bug spray. I can’t stand the smell, I hate the sticky feeling, and I always want to wash it off the second we get home.

These plant-powered stickers have been such a nice alternative for our family. We simply stick one on clothing or a backpack before heading outside, and they’re easy to pack for vacations, parks, walks, and evenings by the pond.

Definitely one of those little summer finds I’ll be keeping in our bag.

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids

All I did to make this bookshelf is I held up my arched top mirror from my bedroom and I traced it and then I just painted inside the lines and hung the shelves right over it. I got these shelves on Etsy and then stain them myself so you can match them to whatever is in your kids room.
Then I get a set of the over the door hangers from Amazon, which I also used on the wall in her playroom and then any kind of closet organizer system for A regular closet will help with your floor space! This closet system will also grow with her as her clothes grow.

Save this for when you’re organizing your kids room!

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKKids

Closed storage over open storage!

If you want it to be easy to clean up just get bins to put inside. Even toddlers can throw toys in them and they can go into the cabinets.

I linked everything I used to organize the toys in our playroom.

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKHome

The goal was never to have a Pinterest-perfect house.

The goal was to create a home where we could actually enjoy living.

A place where the clutter has somewhere to go.
Where everyday routines are a little easier.

This is a place we made for my daughter to hang her book bag and put her lunchbox at the end of every day and it works out so well for our family.
Bonus: the kitchen island stays bookbag free!
