The things I’ve loved. #LTKHome
My favorite bedroom details so far. #LTKHome
The blue plaid continues! I told yall I love pumpkins. I also love our dining chairs. 10/10 would buy again! #LTKHome
My home keepers
I can’t believe I haven’t thought of bringing blue into my fall decor yet! But I love the way it’s working. Balancing light blue plaid pillows and throws with rust and taupe browns still says fall to me. My affinity for French flair in my decor carries true in my dining chairs and plaid light blue….as well as the rustic light wood tones. #LTKHome
These blue hydrangeas tie in my blue pillow covers and my faux leather touches reference the brown leaves a fall. #LTKHome
I love these black print pillow covers for fall! They have the perfect subtle touches of brown and blue. #LTKHome
My Autumn Home
Dedicating this moment for the laundry rooms! You work magic so you deserve a little glow up too. 😉 #laundryroomrefresh #homedecor #homedecoronabudget #roomtransformation #LTKOver40 #LTKHome
I’m pretty sure my husband despises my “while we’re at it…” brain game. 😂 What started as one small wallpaper project turned into a new light, a new rug, DIY lanterns, hidden hookups, a new laundry top… and about ten other side quests. And if you’ve been here for a while… yes, the washer and dryer are FINALLY level with each other. 😂 Please tell me I’m not the only one whose brain works like this. 😅 Comment LAUNDRY if you’d like links to everything!

My laundry room finally feels like the special little space it was always meant to be. For 9 years this windowless laundry room was just functional—Now, this custom peel and stick wallpaper is the final touch that makes it feel custom and intentional. And it elevates my sconces + art more than I expected! I was surprised at how the wallpaper pattern actually made my tiny laundry-closet space feel larger by drawing your eye up. The texture, the custom color, how it catches the light with my DIY sconces - it finally feels like a designer’s laundry room, and not an afterthought closet. Quick real life note since I know you’ll ask: I papered around my sliding doors without taking them off, just slid them over and papered around the frame. Clear wall protector behind the dryer door so the paper stays beautiful. Details from @lovevsdesign they gifted: Pattern: Canopy Shade Colors: Frost + Air Paper type: peel-n-stick/ woven Check out their options! They have SO many to choose from! Custom colors + textures and pastes available. 🩶Comment LOVE for my laundry room links!

Room Makeovers
So apparently my blue era might have more meaning to it than I realized… #LTKHome
The secret to a high-end coastal home isn’t buying expensive furniture—it’s layering the right accessories. Think soft blue textiles, natural woven textures, oversized art, sculptural decor, and classic patterns that create a collected look. I rounded up some of my favorite Amazon + Target finds that work together beautifully and make decorating so much easier. Shop the full collection through my LTK and save your favorites for later. #CoastalDecorStyle #WalmartHomeFinds #AmazonHomeDecor #DesignerLooksForLess #walmarthome #LTKHome
If your Pinterest board says coastal but your budget says Target + Amazon… this one’s for you. 🤍🌊 I pulled together a designer-inspired collection with soft blues, warm natural textures, woven accents, classic stripes, and timeless artwork that feels elevated without the luxury price tag. These are the kinds of pieces that layer beautifully and won’t feel dated next season. Everything is linked below for easy shopping. #CoastalHomeDecor #BudgetHomeDecor #TargetHomeFinds #AmazonHomeFinds #walmarthome #LTKHome
Power of Blue
I wanted my basic metal bed to look like a beautiful upholstered designer bed… without actually buying a new bed. 😂 This linen bed skirt completely changed it. I searched Amazon for that tailored French box-pleated look, and this was the only one that comes close to the inspo. I also chose the color specifically to coordinate with my headboard so the two would visually read as one upholstered bed. Exact pieces linked below. 🤍 Bed skirt gifted by Biselina_bedding Designer note: the bedskirt is linen, while my headboard fabric is not. If you want actual linen for your headboard to coordinate with the skirt, that’s certainly possible-I didn’t do that due to the cost of linen. 👉Follow your designer friend who decorates on a budget. metal bed frame makeover • Serena & Lily inspired bedroom • French box pleated bed skirt • linen bed skirt • designer bedroom on a budget • upholstered bed look • affordable bedroom refresh #LTKHome
My dream board for my primary bedroom. #hauteloom #walmarthome #wayfair #target #LTKHome
If no one can see the stain anymore… is it actually even there? 😂 I gave my upholstered headboard a whole new look with a $35 linen-look tablecloth instead of replacing the bed. Such an easy, budget-friendly way to refresh a bedroom when you want the look of a new upholstered bed without the price tag. Linked the tablecloth + bedroom finds I’m using for this refresh. 🤍 #signaturedesignsbyashely #bisselina #luxurylooksforless #homedecor #homedecoronabudget #LTKHome
Primary Bedroom
I’m trying to reimagine my stair landing to be a bit more of a destination. Right now, it’s a bit of an afterthought. So I’ve incorporated a cane back sofa, some anthropology-inspired candle sconces, some shiplap wallpaper, and a linen Roman shade toy bring this space some warmth. #ballardesigns #safaveigh #dejavuromanshades #amazomehome #walmarthome #LTKHome
I’ve literally had this tree in my cart, recommending it to my friends for months. I love the shape and the color and the price. #fauxolivetree #pinchpleatdrapes #amazonhomefinds #LTKHome
A soft blue + neutral sitting room will always have my heart. I love mixing classic details like pleated drapes, a patterned rug, cane storage, brass lighting, and cozy white chairs to create a space that feels polished but still livable. Everything is soft, layered, and budget-conscious — the kind of room that feels custom without every piece needing to be custom.

Window dressing
I built DIY sliding tile doors to hide our laundry hookups, and somehow the least qualified woodworking woman in the room survived to tell the tale. The goal: hide the wall hookups but make them easily accessible (because parents don’t need to add a step to the laundry routine). The solution: a lightweight sliding door unit made with ceiling tiles, Morcart peel-and-stick tile, sliding tracks, and a level of confidence that was not fully earned. It’s not the shortest tutorial I’ve ever made, but it might be the most useful if your front loaders came with hookups that were placed directly in your line of sight like a decorative feature nobody asked for. 👉Comment SHOP and I’ll send the materials I used. 👉Follow your designer friend who decorates on a budget. #laundryroommakeover #laundryroomideas #diyhomeprojects #peelandsticktile #homehacks laundry room makeover, laundry room ideas, laundry hookup cover, hidden laundry hookups, DIY sliding doors, sliding tile doors, peel and stick tile, front load washer ideas, laundry room DIY, small laundry room ideas, laundry room backsplash, DIY home projects, budget home upgrades
Don’t be like me and ignore the obvious culprit in the room… The ugly hookups were definitely not helping things, but the lighting was quietly making the entire space look strange — very much like a utility closet with appliances. I actually started to hate all of the finishes in here, and I’m realizing now that the lighting was a big part of the problem. We finally swapped out the old fixture this weekend for one I was gifted a while back, and honestly, I’m annoyed I waited this long. The softer, warmer lighting made the whole room feel happier almost instantly. It’s still not finished. Not even close. I have big plans for this room and a few other little “quick projects” planned that will absolutely not be quick. 😆 But this one change made the room feel like it’s finally heading somewhere.

I’ve always loved wall sconces but hiring an electrician was not in the cards. So I absolutely love that I can get rechargeable LED lights for my wall from Amazon. These in particular are peel n stick (although I recommend screwing them in as I found the adhesive was not a permanent solution). I love how they balanced out the mirror on my wall and that I can install all by myself. You can buy these sconces that come with their own bulbs or choose any hardwired sconce, cut the wires and use an LED rechargeable bulb (linked below). #LEDbulbs #rechargeablelights #DIYwallsconces #amazonhomefind #LTKHome
Home Fixes
I was only “browsing”… and then Labor Day sales + restocks started getting dangerous. 😂 These are the home finds that made me stop—some are major markdowns, some are finally back in stock, and some I already own and would absolutely buy again. Save this before the good stuff disappears, because I have a feeling a few of these won’t stick around. Comment FINDS and I’ll send you the links.

POV: my mom suffers from Amazon trigger finger and Prime Day just gave her better aim 😆 She surprised me with the Shady Lady 6ft faux black olive tree I've had saved (and recommended) for months — proof that mom is always right. After unboxing it, I can say it actually looks exactly like the pictures... which is awesome because the price + look were why I recommended it to begin with. Realistic trunk, full, bright leaves on manicured branches you can fluff, and it instantly filled my corner with life and greenery. It's the tall artificial olive tree every home needs right now-coming in various heights. I'm NOT keeping the black base it comes with though — stay tuned because I'm upcycling a Walmart planter to make it look high-end. Follow along for part 2!

Honestly, I’m a little mad that I didn’t try this sooner! I think it turned out so well! And the hardest part was really taping, but next time I think I will do the glass protecting jelly that I used on the bottom row of pains as that seem to be a little bit faster. But as far as process went, I did the yellow base let that dry and it dried super fast then I went over it with a brown color and use the wood rocking tool immediately after and worked my way around the mirror doing that. Then I went back over with some white touches with my fan brush to give it a weathered look. Never underestimate the power of a little paint! #valsparpaint #LTKHome
Honestly, I’m mad I didn’t do this sooner! It turned out so well! I think once I got over the chore of taping, which was no small feat, it was pretty quick! Paint with yellow color, dry, paint with brown color, apply woodgrain tool, repeat. I do go back over it with other colors if the hue wasn’t quite right. Then at the end, I used my fan paintbrush to add the white weathered strokes. I did buy and paint the mirror/glass protector jelly and used that on the bottom row. That was a lot easier to apply than tape! #valsparpaint #LTKHome

I like to change out the flowers in my hanging basket for each season. Summer is peonies! #amazonhomedecor #summerdecor #coastaldecor #LTKHome
A glimpse of my summer mantle space. I use lots of moss in the summertime-it makes everything feel lush and green. Paired with beachy palm branches, and it feels like a mini vacation. #amazonhomefinds #summerdecor #coastaldecor #LTKHome
I made this centerpiece but you don’t have to craft it if you don’t want to-I linked the quick and crafty versions below! #amazonhomefinds #orchidflowers #summerflowerarrangement #LTKHome

I have used and love these for years. I can shine up my rings. Anytime I need to. It works on my fashion jewelry as well. #dazzlestick #diamondcleaningpen #LTKmomlife #LTKBeauty #LTKWedding
When I researched, I found that these volufiline sticks actually had less ingredient than the ordinary’s serum. Plus, apparently your skin absorbs a serum better than it does a paste from a stick. And it’s less money. 😊 #theordinary #LTKselfcare #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty
Y’all, I don’t have good hair. It’s thin, brittle, non-porous and fine. Not a great combo. But this stuff really does make a big difference when I use it. It brings the fluff from my youthful hair back. I’ve tried the carb-infused and I want to try the coconut next. #colorwow #haircare #amazonbeauty #hairafter40 #hairvolumizer #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40
