One of the most rewarding projects in this room was refinishing this antique dresser. Instead of replacing it, I gave it new life with fresh paint and styled it with classic decor that feels simple and timeless.

The black mirror adds contrast, while layered artwork, textured storage, soft florals, and ceramic accents bring warmth without feeling cluttered. It's a look that's easy to recreate with a mix of vintage finds and affordable home decor.

The newest addition to our living room 🤎 I had been looking for a rug that would add a little pattern without making the space feel too busy, and this one is such a good balance. The cream, tan and espresso tones work beautifully with all of the warm neutrals we already have throughout the room!

This is the Tac in Pearl from Revival, and it’s also machine washable, which is a huge bonus in a home with three dogs!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

A prettier way to corral all those dog toys 🐾

I love when something can be practical for the dogs and still look beautiful in the house. This seagrass toy basket keeps all those colorful toys contained so they don’t make the room feel chaotic!

And right now, it’s on sale at Wayfair and about 40% less than the identical basket at Pottery Barn. Such a good find if you’re looking for dog toy storage that blends in with your decor!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Affordable curtains that look anything but budget-friendly. 🤍

I’ve used window treatments from Vision Home, Two Pages, Homerilla and Neutral Curtains throughout our home, so I’ve had the chance to compare them firsthand. I’ve been really impressed with the quality of the Vision Home curtains, especially for the price. They have a beautiful, tailored look and add softness to this room without feeling overly formal.

If you’re looking for affordable window treatments that still feel elevated, these are definitely worth considering!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Our outdoor patio has become one of those spaces where we naturally slow down and stay awhile. The woven furniture, comfortable cushions, and soft pillows make it feel just as cozy and inviting as the rooms inside our home! Some of these pieces are even on major sale!

It’s the perfect spot to relax, unwind, enjoy the pool, or spend an afternoon outside with family. I love having an outdoor space that feels comfortable enough to actually live in and enjoy.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Making room for the dogs without sacrificing the look of our home 🖤

A crate cover is such a simple way to make a dog crate feel more like furniture and less like a kennel. I love that these covers add function while giving you a surface to style with the things you love.

I added a few personal touches on top — woven boxes that hold some of the dogs' essentials, a little greenery, a photo, and a book — and now the crate feels like it naturally belongs in the room.

It’s a great option if you want to create a beautiful, dog-friendly home without hiding the things that make it work for your pets.

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

A few simple pieces can make a bathroom feel both more organized and more like a spa. There are a couple things I do to keep essentials close by while still ensuring the space feels calm and uncluttered...

The round wood tray is perfect for skincare essentials, while the wood bath caddy adds another layer of functional storage and gives you a place to set a book or drink while you're bathing!

It’s a simple way to maximize storage while creating that relaxed, spa-like feeling at home.

#LTKselfcare #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

One of my favorite ways to style shelves is mixing new finds with pieces that actually mean something 🤎 I filled this arched cabinet with woven baskets, decorative vases, candlesticks, taper candles, and old books that have been passed down through our family.

The woven baskets are one of my favorite affordable finds — they have such a similar look to the McGee & Co. ones for a lot less!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

This drum coffee table is such a beautiful anchor in our living room! I love the simple shape and the warmth of the walnut-stained mango wood — it adds just the right amount of contrast to all the lighter textures in the space.

Ours is 48" wide x 16" high, which gives us plenty of surface area without making the room feel crowded.

One of the things I especially love about this table is that it can be customized through Etsy, so you can choose the size that works best for your space!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

My favorite affordable pinch pleat curtains that look way more expensive than they are! 🤌🏼 You’d never guess these were an Amazon find.

They come in both unlined if you love that soft, filtered light and lined if you’re looking for more privacy or blackout coverage. Such an easy way to make your windows (and your whole room!) feel more elevated.

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Sometimes your bed doesn’t need a million layers to feel cozy. 🤎 A simple quilt topped with a chunky knit blanket adds just enough texture and warmth while still keeping everything relaxed and effortless.

I love how the chunky knit instantly makes the whole room feel a little softer and more inviting. Sharing my quilt, chunky blanket, and bedroom details below!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Celebrate fall with the Benebone Pumpkin Spice Wishbone! This limited-edition dog chew is made to be long-lasting and durable for aggressive chewers. Available only during the fall season, it's a fun way to treat your pup while supplies last.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

If you're working with a small kitchen, don't overlook the walls. These floating shelves added much-needed storage while giving me a place to display everyday essentials in a way that still feels beautiful.

I use glass jars for dog treats and supplements, stack mugs to save space, and mix in a few decorative pieces to keep the shelves feeling collected instead of cluttered. It's a simple way to maximize storage without sacrificing style.

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

A well-styled nightstand can make a bedroom feel so much more inviting! I love mixing practical pieces with a few cozy accents like a timeless lamp, framed artwork, trailing greenery, and a woven basket for added texture.

This chunky knit throw blanket is currently on sale, making it the perfect time to add an extra layer of warmth to your bedroom. I'm sharing everything from this cozy corner below.

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

These accent chairs made our office feel so much more inviting. They're the perfect spot to sit with a cup of coffee, chat through ideas, or take a break from the desk while adding warmth and texture to the room.

I've really enjoyed shopping with Chita because they offer stylish, quality furniture at more affordable prices. These chairs are a beautiful example of getting a high-end look without overspending!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

This floating media cabinet completely transformed this space. The clean, wall-mounted design keeps the room feeling open, while the hidden storage makes it easy to tuck away gaming consoles, remotes, movies, board games, and all the little things that tend to collect in a media room.

Even better, it's currently over 50% OFF, making it a great time to grab it if you've been looking for a stylish storage solution that keeps everything looking neat and organized!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Nothing makes a room feel more finished than faux florals!

These cream silk peonies bring so much softness and texture to my office while staying beautiful all year long. I love that they give the look of real flowers without any of the upkeep, making them an easy addition to any room.

They're even on sale right now, so grab them if they've been on your wishlist! If you're looking for timeless faux florals that feel realistic and effortless, these are some of my favorites.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

One of the few pet purchases I'd make again without thinking twice is this ceramic slow feeder bowl! We've used them for almost 10 years! 🤯

They've held up beautifully through daily use with our Labs while helping encourage slower eating at mealtime. I also love that they look right at home with the rest of our decor instead of feeling like a typical pet bowl.

If you're looking for dog bowls that are both beautiful and functional, I highly recommend these.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmorningroutine #LTKHome

One of the BEST home purchases I've made over the years is washable rugs!

With three Labrador retrievers, our rugs see plenty of muddy paws, shedding, and everyday life. I wasn't sure what to expect from a washable rug, but this one has held up beautifully. It's soft underfoot, easy to clean, and still looks just as beautiful as the day we brought it home.

If you've been looking for a timeless washable rug that's both practical and beautiful, I've linked it here.

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Some of my favorite home updates aren't the biggest projects — they're the little details that make a house feel more personal.

A bit of picture frame moulding, a fresh coat of paint, and a gallery wall featuring watercolor portraits of our dogs completely transformed a space we used to walk past without noticing. Adding a rechargeable picture light was the finishing touch. It brings so much warmth to the hallway, especially in the evenings!

If you're looking for hallway decor ideas or inspiration for creating a meaningful gallery wall, I've linked everything I used.

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Our bedroom has always been one of my favorite spaces in the house, and ever since we added this new bedding, I love it even more!

I mixed crisp cotton, soft linen, and cozy texture to create a bed that feels inviting year-round. The olive gingham sheets add just enough color while still keeping the room calm and neutral, and the gauze quilt is lightweight for summer but easy to layer into cooler seasons.

I'm sharing every piece if you're looking for timeless bedroom staples that mix beautifully together.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

A view I’ll never get tired of! This shiplap hallway is one of my favorite spots in our home and is a reminder that even the in-between spaces deserve thoughtful design.

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Proof that even the dog corner can be beautiful. 🤎 This gallery wall turned the dogs’ feeding station into one of my favorite spaces in the house.

#LTKHome #LTKvlog #LTKSaleAlert

These are the home purchases I’d buy again without hesitation because they’ve proven to be worth every penny. Linking everything I can here for easy browsing.

What’s one purchase you’d recommend to everyone?

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Dog moms (especially with large-breed dogs), these are worth checking out! My labs have been loving these rawhide-free, long-lasting Bully Braids (8–12” size) from @redbarninc. They are a great enrichment chew for rainy days and quiet afternoons at home. #ad #LTKpets

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Loving our new bedding from @Quince! This quilt and sheet set sat in my cart for WAY too long! Now that I have my hands on it, I’m regretting I didn’t hit that buy button sooner! This color is everything 🌿

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

One of my favorite DIY transformations is this little end-of-hallway nook. 🤍

It used to be one of those spaces that you walk past every day without giving it a second thought. A little decorative picture frame moulding, a coat of SW Dried Thyme, and three watercolor portraits of the dogs as puppies by a talented artist completely changed it.

Now it feels intentional and makes me smile every time I walk by.

Sometimes the smallest corners end up adding the most personality to a home.

#LTKHome #LTKstorytime

The Woof Pupsicle from @Chewy helps keep my dogs occupied and engaged. My fave dog mom hack to get some things done without the pups bothering me, haha! #LTKdogs #LTKpets

#LTKHome #LTKmorningroutine

The pillow refresh our living room needed 🤎

I recently switched to down inserts and I’m officially obsessed with the cozy, designer look they create. As a dog mom, I choose removable pillow covers so they’re easy to wash and swap out seasonally. Sharing all the details here!

#LTKHome

Happy Father’s Day to the guy who never says no to one more game of fetch, always makes room for three dogs in the bed, and loves these pups as much as I do. 🖤 #aurapartner

As the designated family photographer, some of my favorite photos are the candid moments between him and the dogs. I love that our digital photo album from @auraframes lets us enjoy those memories every day instead of leaving them buried in my camera roll.

Use code FORDAD35 for $35 off the Carver Mat and select frames through 6/21.

One of the most asked-about things in our home? The rugs 🤎

Sharing one of our favorite rugs from Revival because they’re currently up to 25% off through the end of the month. We have several throughout the high-traffic areas of our home, and they’ve held up so well with three dogs. The washable styles have been especially nice because they’re easy to clean while still looking elevated and cozy.

Linked this rug & a few other favorites!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

One of my favorite kinds of room makeovers 🤍 this low-lift guest bedroom refresh is complete with new bedding, window treatments, layered decor, and a cozy rug. These simple additions make this space feel completely different!

#LTKHome

Home office views 🫶🏼 from the picture frame molding to the desk, I love how everything turned out in this space!

#LTKHome

My favorite place to source rugs is running a sale through 5/31. You can save up to 25% off on all styles, including washable, easy care, vintage, and one-of-a-kind rugs. I love the runner I have in my hallway — we get so much foot traffic in this space and it has held up so well!
