Today’s lesson: not every Pinterest-worthy idea actually works in real life. I tried wallpapering the switch plate covers in our powder bath. The corners refused to cooperate. So I scrapped the plan and ordered fancy brass covers instead. 😭

I’m off to go order more details for this project! 🏃‍♀️ See ya next time for day 2!

Turning on these lights in the evening makes our home feel so cozy

Budget friendly curtains that look custom 🙌

The things you won’t stop DMing me about this month. 🤍

Battery powered sconces. Custom looking Amazon curtains. A corner bench with hidden storage that actually works. The summer comforter that keeps you cozy without overheating. And an olive tree that passes the “is that real?” test every single time.

Today’s lesson: this is why the powder bath is taking forever.

If you’ve been hanging out with me in my stories, you might remember the first towel ring I ordered. I hated it the second it arrived. So I sent it back and ordered THIS one, which I absolutely love. But the install? I am so dumb. I put it on the wrong way the FIRST time, had to take it off, and start over. Sometimes the simple projects humble you.

Worth it though. This brass towel ring is exactly the right finish for the space and brings in another touch of warmth against the wallpaper.

Day 5 coming soon, accountability partners. Don’t let me start anything new. Save this for the rest of the journey.

Outdoor rugs are one of my favorite ways to completely change the feel of a patio without spending a fortune 🤍 These are a few of my current Target favorites — from classic neutrals to fun pattern moments that make an outdoor space feel layered and pulled together.

Everything is beautifully priced and linked in my LTK ✨

I think I may have found the perfect bedding combo for our bedroom. I always struggle with bedding especially since our wall color isn’t the easiest to coordinate with. This quilt from anthro might be what I’ve been missing.

No boring outdoor patio this year 🙌 I brought my style outside, one piece at a time, and the Spruce Swivel Lounge Chair from @denver_modern is what finally tied it all together. #ad

Some pieces just complete a room (or in this case, a patio). The texture, the swivel, the way it pulled the whole space together while still feeling cozy enough to actually want to sit in.

I’ve linked the Spruce Swivel Lounge Chair and a few other favorite pieces from this patio refresh in my LTK Shop so you can go shop directly from there.

Battery powered, warm dimmable light, install in 15 minutes, look completely hardwired. I added two to our breakfast nook and the whole space feels softer now.

Perfect for renters, DIYers, and anyone who wants sconces without the electrician bill.

Today’s progress: installing these glass shelves above the toilet.

If you’ve followed along for a while, you might recognize them. They’re the same ones I installed in our primary bathroom a while back. I keep coming back to glass shelves because they let beautiful wallpaper actually be SEEN. Solid shelves would have blocked half of these gorgeous cheetahs and that’s just a crime.

And these are very reasonably priced from Amazon.

Drop a 🤍 if you’re officially my accountability partner. We’re styling these shelves on Day 4!

I refuse to have a boring patio. The Spruce Swivel Lounge Chair from Denver Modern tied this whole space together.

Today’s mission: swap the outlets and switches to black so they actually blend into the wallpaper instead of fighting it.

A few real talk takeaways:
1. The GFCI outlet was the hardest part. If you’ve ever done this, you know.
2. The dimmer switch was a $25 piece that took about 15 minutes to install. I genuinely wish someone had told me sooner how easy these are. Electricians can charge around $150 for the same job, and rightfully so because they’ve trained for years to do this work safely. But if you’re on a budget and comfortable with basic wiring, it’s a project worth tackling yourself.
3. Black outlets and switches against patterned wallpaper is the upgrade no one talks about.

Day 3 coming soon, accountability partners. 🤍 Save this and don’t let me start anything new until this powder bath is done!

The full source guide for our laundry room makeover.
A few things I learned designing this space:
- The right wallpaper changes everything
- Hidden storage is just as important as the pretty stuff
- Small functional details (Velcro, foldable hooks, anti-vibration pads) make the space WORK as hard as it looks good

The kids’ crafts, the mail, my design work, snack wrappers from who knows when. Our breakfast nook used to look like a tornado hit it on a daily basis. The fix? Hidden storage built right into the bench. One side is for the kids’ coloring books and crafts, the other side is for my design work. Everything has a home and the whole space resets in under two minutes.

Anthro vibes… without the Anthro price tag ✨
Layered patterns, playful color, and those little details that make a space feel collected instead of cookie-cutter.

This is exactly how I mix pieces to get that high-end, curated look—just styled a little more real life.

Three rugs, completely different moods… and all of them work ✨
This is your sign to stop overthinking it—mix the pattern, pull a few colors through the space, and let it feel a little collected.

The right rug doesn’t just sit in a room… it makes the room.
