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.

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.

With summer break coming to an end soon, before the kiddos head back to school, I thought a vintage inspired summer camp party would be loads of fun…so I surprised my nieces & nephew with “Camp Green”!

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.

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!

Sharing some various style swivel chairs at different price points.

This @anthropologie top was too cute not to share! I love the twist they put on a classic button up. The blouse has a feminine, hourglass silhouette with a bit of an edge & coolness to it. Believe it or not, It’s even more stunning in person!

How I made this patriotic, scalloped banner with a 1/4 a yard of each of these fabrics, along with some navy blue ribbon. 🇺🇸

Love the aged/vintage look of the fabric!

My coffee table book on Italy & this Amalfi Coast tee that recently arrived on my doorstep has me wanting to bring some of that vibe into the house for the upcoming summer season.

This scalloped edged salmon & white striped table cloth with blue trim was exactly what I needed! It reminds me of the classic stripe umbrellas at the beach clubs in my book.

I styled the table with items I had around the house. Looking forward to setting it up different ways as the summer approaches. Maybe next time we bring in some yellow & 🍋 s, whatcha think?

When a big black void becomes artwork instead. Love the difference it makes in a room!

Another benefit with this TV was the matte screen model, so it reduces any glare, which is especially helpful with all the natural light flooding in. It makes a huge difference both when watching TV and when it’s in “art mode”, as it makes it more believable as framed art.

I can’t tell you how many times this has fooled people. They’re truly amazed when they learn it’s a TV.

I found the prettiest faux stems to decorate my TV console for Easter/spring.

I found some realistic spring florals that are super affordable! I bought some myself…can’t wait to style them in one of my vases!

The second video is a quick bouquet I put together in the store to get an idea of what flower combinations I wanted.

I needed some sandals to go with my spring dresses, that are also pediatrist approved after dealing so long with plantar fasciitis. These sandals are perfect! Cute & supportive for the win!
