My top tips for making decorating the outside of your house for Christmas a little EASIER.

Tip 1: A quick, easy, & secure way to add bows to your outdoor wreaths is using smaller zip ties.

Tip 2: A damage-free way we add wreaths to our windows every year is with heavy duty suction cups. 🔗 Link in my bio.

Extra tip: Wipe the area of the window down with an alcohol wipe & dry with paper towel before adding suction cup to window. It helps the suction cup hold better.

Tip 3: Choose yard decor that can easily be stored in the attic fully assembled.

Then from year-to-year the only thing left to do is get them down, anchor them to the ground, & plug them in. Easy peasy.

If you add one thing to your Christmas tree this year, make it these faux candles to bring some old world charm & elegance.

Love that they came with a remote with various setting options to make the lights look more like real candles with a flicker & more.

Stop laying your garland on your fireplace mantel. This approach of draping your garland adds so much drama & elegance. I’ll never go back! Linking what you need.

My favorite jeans, that have people stopping me in the store to ask where I get them, are 40% off. Snatch them up while they’re on sale! They are worth every penny! Really good quality, great fit, & comfortable.

Linked exact pair, along with other wash/color options in the same style.

Just bought these high rise Stevie flare jeans in store & ordered two other washes (dark denim & black denim) when I got home. These are by far my favorite jeans & I always have women asking me where I get them. They’re 40% off, so I’d snag them on sale while you can.

Note: I size up 1 size in lighter washes & corduroy (for some reason I find they fit tighter) & get true to size in darker washes (dark denim & black (based on their size chart).

Warm brown & black striped pullover sweater & my favorite suede Birkenstocks also linked.

Sharing all the birthday party decor details, including the Sonic the hedgehog photo backdrop I setup for my niece’s 10th birthday.

I spray painted 3 foam rings yellow to look like Sonic coins & hung them above my kitchen island using fishing line, so they looked like they were floating.

Afterwards, I uploaded the party themed graphic I designed to my Frame TV and set the tables. Sharing links!

I found the coolest, most random thing you never knew you needed! You’re welcome. ☺️

When I saw this metal roller date stamp it took me back to my childhood, seeing library cards stamped with a date stamp.

This stamp will be cute styled on my office / craft room shelves, but you better believe I’ll be using it too when crafting.

Also, I didn’t realize until I was making this reel that I had the stamp set to 2005 instead of 2025. I really tried to take us back in time…lol.

This moody, floral dress was perfect for our friends fall formal. It would make a beautiful gown for a dressy holiday event or formal wedding, as well.

Note: the black straps I added

I underwent an EMO-tional transformation for my nieces 14th birthday party. 🖤🩷 This would make a great Halloween costume idea, if you’re looking for something dramatic, comfortable, & easy to pull together.

I already had the black jeans, plaid skirt, and nail polish, so the only things I bought was a printed tee, chocker necklace (you could also easily make with black ribbon if you have some laying around), and black & color striped socks I cut into the 2000s emo/seen armbands I remember being so popular.

Then, I straighten my hair, painted my nails, added some heavy black eye liner, and I was all set!

If you have black or checkered converse and an emo style belt…even better! Links for my emo look in my stories.

Sharing links from my niece’s 20th birthday shell-a-bration (decoration & setup). The tables were shimmery with a sand colored cheese cloth runner & both real and hand-made felt & beaded seashells sprinkled throughout. I created a mosaic 20 for the centerpiece and used pompas grass in ceramic & woven vases to carry the beach vibe throughout the party. A vibrant aqua, yellow, coral, & pink tassel banner hung on the kitchen island to bring a little pop of color. And what would a shell-a-bration be without shell plates?

The cutest copper cauldrons 🎃 These would be perfect to put treats in at a Halloween party.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKautumn

As promised, today I’m sharing the final reveal of this cozy corner in our master bedroom!

You may remember, I felt there was too much blank space for my liking & I wanted to cozy it up a bit.

I started moving around some pieces I already had & decided relocating the faux tree between our mango wood dresser & upholstered chair added the height & contrast needed, but I was still missing something on the adjacent wall.

I searched on @etsy for some vintage art prints I could download & found this clay pot & flower piece I thought was perfect. Once I downloaded the file, I sent it over to @finerworks, since they print on Giclee (fine art paper). It just gives the artwork a more realistic painted look, so it doesn’t look like a shiny photograph.

Next, I ordered a wood frame from @amazon & then went on the hunt for an affordable LED picture light, so no hard wiring was needed. Usually, the good quality picture lights cost $500 and up, but the one I found was less than $50! The light adds so much warmth & character to this corner & was the perfect final touch.

Sharing my charming home finds today that are both beautiful & functional. 1) An ice bucket with a lid enclosed in a wicker basket carrier for indoor or outdoor hosting (clearance alert 🔔), 2) a wood & brass twine holder for craft projects or cooking, & 3) an acacia wood & antique brass finished vinyl storage (tabletop stand) to hold vinyl records.

I know I know…it’s not fall yet, but when you stumble on the right pieces for entertaining for the upcoming holidays at a good price, you have to snap it up while you can.

Sharing links in my stories…now back to summer.

My recent purchases for organization when traveling: jewelry holder, magnetic close pill caddy, & more of the perfect sized food container for meals on the go.

#LTKFamily #LTKTravel #LTKHome

When I was thinking through the design of my kitchen cabinets, I knew I wanted my dishes in the lower cabinets instead of the uppers. I was tired of lifting a heavy stack of plates above my head to put them away or straining to take them down.

I asked the custom cabinet maker we were working with to get a peg board insert for the two lower drawers with many wooden pegs, so I could adjust my dish configuration as needed.

Incase you’re wondering, the wooden pegs keep the plates and bowls from hitting one another as the drawer opens and closes.

5 years later, I have no regrets on this kitchen design choice. I’d do it again & recommend it to anyone starting kitchen renovations or building a new home.

I didn’t want our TV above the fireplace, so I had to figure out how to arrange the furniture in our living room to where people could sit & visit, but also turn & see the TV behind them. Swivel chairs were a perfect solution for this!
