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

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!

I wanted designer lantern sconce energy… but my budget was giving Dollar Tree aisle. So I turned two little lanterns into DIY wall sconces for my laundry room using spray paint, Rub ’n Buff, leftover ceiling tile, and golden battery candles. They’re now hanging in the laundry room quietly pretending they were always meant to be sconces — and honestly, I think they work.

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 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

In case you haven’t noticed, I love creating high-end interior looks for so much less. This time, I’ve put myself to the challenge to make a Grandmillennial bedroom with soft, calm, and collected choices. I love how mixing classic wood nightstands, blue-and-white bedding, soft patterned textiles, brass accents, and tailored trim details gives this room a traditional-meets-fresh look. Timeless without feeling too formal. Sharing everything I used and similar finds to create this look below—options for upholstered bed, vintage-style rug, brass curtain rods, pleated drapes, classic lamps, landscape art, and a bench that finishes the whole room. #wayfaircreator #amazonhome #grandmillenialdecor #targetdecor

When you’re redesigning all of the rooms in your house at once, you learn a lot! 😆 I found a bed with a headboard over 5 feet tall, a console design previously unavailable for a small wall, and a non-standard size area rug—all these little nuggets add up! Because sometimes the “good find” isn’t the cheapest option — it’s the one with the right height, the right width, the right function, or the exact detail you’ve been looking for for your home. I went through my Prime Day finds with my designer “hat” on and pulled together the pieces that solve oddly specific problems I keep running into while updating my own house… plus a few personal favorites I genuinely think are worth watching.

JLily Intro
Leaving for vacation soon so naturally I'm starting a half dozen house projects this week... My whole thing is design and organization on a single-income budget. No renovations, no custom orders — just stuff that actually works. I walked through our house and pulled 13 budget things I'm loving + using right now. Some I've had for years, some were gifted (that bed vacuum), some I just installed. All DIY-able, all under $100, all worth copying. Save this for your next "I should get the house perfect before I leave it empty for a week" moment. budget home upgrades, single income decorating, DIY home organization, affordable home finds, under $100 home, renter friendly DIY, pantry organization ideas, small budget mudroom, bamboo shades install, magnetic closet lights, faux tree styling, laundry room organization, oddly specific problem solvers #budgethomedecor #diyhomeonabudget #homeorganizationideas #singleincomeliving #affordablehomestyle #LTKHome #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize
I’ve banished the orange! If you only knew the time I spent evaluating the finish BEFORE I ordered the first top…but I learned the hard way. Apart from the finish, I LOVE having this worktop on top of my washer/dryer. It’s a great way to reclaim space, add a contrasting finish to warm the space and be assured you aren’t going to lose socks in between your units. SpaceAid’s top came well-packaged, with plenty of screws and one tool to set it up. It’s lightweight enough to carry up the stairs and set in place. It’s definitely an addition worth having in your laundry space! And if you’re a fan of the maple wood tone, they have that too. 🩶 Everything linked below! #spaceaid #laundryworktop #laundryroommakeover #washerdryertop #LTKHome
I just need like 40 more of these and we’s have the pantry dreams are made of! I seriously love organizing groceties inti drawrs. Perfect for snacks, plasticware (they have long flat ones), creamer cupss, tea bags…the list goes on. #vtopmart #amazonfind #organization #pantryorganization #LTKmomlife #LTKHome
