Who else used Mother’s Day to force your kids to do some type of chore?? Mine had to purge some toys because I can’t take the mountains of toys they hoard. Where do half of those random plastic figurines come from anyway?!! As promised here are some of my favorite storage pieces for kid junk. I’m not obsessive about toys being organized- just hidden in something pretty! http://liketk.it/2vKeN #liketkit @liketoknow.it Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app to shop this pic via screenshot You can instantly shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app

I slept a total of about 30 minutes last night it feels like so I am having a hard time stringing words together. Anyone else stay up half the night thinking about things like “don’t forget to sign up for the field trip” “go by the paint store” “buy hand sanitizer”?? That was just a few examples of what went through my head at 3am 🙄😩. I also can’t shake this light. I have someone coming to hang the new one I bought but now I kinda want this one instead. I’ve got probs. May the force be with you all my insomnia buddies! http://liketk.it/2uyQE #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome #LTKsalealert Screenshot or 'like' this pic to shop the product details from the LIKEtoKNOW.it app, available now from the App Store!

WHY IT WORKS || There is a shift happening in decorating that is bringing us all back to the basics. Natural woods, traditional pieces, and simplicity. There’s a reason why these elements have worked for centuries! Let’s break down this pretty siding room by @patrickprinty and find some ways to recreate it in our homes. *I say “recreate” because my purpose with this series is to help you pinpoint exactly why you are drawn to certain images and give you ideas on how to bring that feeling into your house. I’m never trying to rip off another designers work! I’m hoping to help you take an inspiration image and make it your own!
1. The table style is crucial- stick with a traditional piece with simple lines. The 4 legs versus a trestle base gives us a great traditional foundation!
2. The tone of the wood is also key. Find a table that has a warm, light, natural finish. That will translate into a warm and organic feeling room!
3. Skip the solid upholstered chairs for something with pattern. Bonus points for finding a pattern that is subdued like this one. You’re not looking for a show-stopper, just a simple neutral layer to the room.
4. Bring in a teeny bit of contrast with black light fixtures. Choose pieces that feel light and airy but with some metal/iron detail. Stay away from anything overly ornate or heavy!
5. In Patrick’s version the room had beautiful built-ins which are not always an option BUT finding a great storage piece is! You could go for a creamy china cabinet or make this your own by choosing something that carry’s on the earthy vibe. Maybe that’s more wood or an antique metal piece. Scroll through to see the cabinet I love in this space!
6. Like we learned last time (11 posts back) simplicity is a good thing. Simple greenery, stacked glass dishes, and a soothing color palette is how to achieve the perfect backdrop!

I’m proud to say I actually watched the Super Bowl and by “watched” I mean I cheered when my family cheered. I did pay more attention when the halftime show began though 😍. During the game I rounded up 11 of my favorite nightstands. This was a category you guys requested so I hope you like these picks! They are all fairly inexpensive and meet my personal requirements of a nohhtstand- plenty of surface space, not too squaty, and lots of storage! http://liketk.it/2uvYe #liketkit @liketoknow.it Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app to shop this pic via screenshot

At first glance you could look at this picture and decide:

A. My house is a hovel
B. My budget is a joke
or...
C. Stop getting caught in the Instagram comparison trap and appreciate this photo for what it is- INSPIRATION ✨

Let’s pick apart this design to see “Why It Works” and translate a little @beckiowens in our modest little hovels 😉

- Bleached woods bring a natural, casual, and warm feeling to your home.

- Soft simplistic layers leave breathing room. Keep accessories to a minimum and let pretty furniture pieces shine!

- Choose one piece to give the room presence. A solid dark piece next to all the light helps the room not feel too fluffy.

- Choose accent pieces- lighting, hardware, and rugs- that add personality through texture. A room can have a minimal color palette and still stand out with different finishes! http://liketk.it/2umel #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home To get the product details for this look and others, follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app

I’m slowly chipping away at the final details for my kitchen ✨ Yesterday this beaut arrived and I can’t wait to hang it. I’m trying to pick things that are a good mix of traditional and modern with lots of layered neutrals. This shift is going to show up in my house more as well as clients’.

Rise and shine, it’s Monday, which means trying not to cry when that alarm clock goes off 😩.

It’s a boy/girl bedroom we did on a super tight budget that proves you CAN mix the tastes of two people and you CAN do it no matter your budget! #liketkit @liketoknow.it Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app http://liketk.it/2u9JB

I realized I never shared details on my yummy new rug. Yummiest part is the price! Warning: it is thin so definitely get a rug pad if you’re not layering. But, it is so soft and the fringe order definitely gives it that true vintage feel! http://liketk.it/2tVCk #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I'm only 10 pages into this book and my highlighter has almost run out. One paragraph in I felt like it was written for me, for this stage of life or really just all stages of being a parent. With fall comes a schedule and stress so I need all the help I can get remembering to look at the big picture each day. I linked the book here if you want to read it too! http://liketk.it/2sxPM #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Here is another view of the screened porch I shared this week. I love how the glass pendant shines against the white ceiling and those pretty beams 💫 And for all of you who asked about the table (see it a couple posts back), YES it is outdoor! It is made of fiberglass so it can handle any weather and can be easily wiped down but it looks as gorgeous as wood 🙌🏻 http://liketk.it/2rpGb @liketoknow.it #liketkit

The light I used in my navy playroom project (see my last two posts) is no longer available so I rounded up 10 other favorites for y'all! Each one of these lights has me envisioning an entire design plan. I need 10 playroom clients!! Oh, and best part these are all right at $300 most of them less 🙌🏻 http://liketk.it/2qEEZ @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Apparently the punishment for moms who go out on a school night is technology issues the next morning. I finally got my post up with all the photos of this fun navy playroom and I also put together a very similar look all from @target Head over to the blog to see how you can do a room on a budget and why I love Target when it comes to ordering home stuff!

Scrolling through my phone pics and realizing there is nothing but stalker photos of my dog from last week and 1,000+ selfies of Harper courtesy of Harper. But I have been sourcing up a storm the last couple weeks so I promise pretty things this week starting with this beautiful wood side table. Looking for some quick updates? Grab something warm, natural, and neutral like this table! Stack a couple pretty coffee table books and put a small plant on top. Voila ✨ http://liketk.it/2qwTk @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Today I shared some outdoor living inspiration on the blog. Me personally, all I need for inspiration is a little ☀️and 🍹 but if you want a little more like my 3 tips for making your outdoors as "decorated" as your indoors head on over! http://liketk.it/2qp1D @liketoknow.it #liketkit

My client's office is making me miss my desk 😕 I recently moved it upstairs to use for my son's keyboard so he has a dedicated space to practice piano 🎶 Sacrificing a workspace in hopes of having a child with musical talent! A lot of you have asked me about the desk chair and you can find the direct link in my blog post! This exact rug is sold out but I linked a similar one that would be just as pretty! #projectbrightwhiteoffice http://liketk.it/2qase @liketoknow.it #liketkit

I didn't put together an official gift guide (#slackblogger) but I do happen to have two December babies so I can give you a heads up on what they are loving from their birthdays in case your shopping for boys (the hardest group in my opinion!!) My girl's birthday also falls in November so I included the things she loved as well! Consider it the tested and kid-approved list. Also make sure to check out my #1 favorite this year- that cute little giraffe you see up there 👆🏻. If you have kids of any age that need the comfort or convenience of a nightlight you HAVE to check this one out. It was developed by a close friend of mine and really is so cool- travel-ready, safe, turns off on its own, and is rechargeable! Shop everything here http://liketk.it/2pRqt @liketoknow.it #liketkit
