8" x 5" Wood Edge Trim … curated on LTK

I made over this $25 thrifted table and styled it two ways for our family room. Which one do you like better ? The coffee table or end table ? Swipe to see them both along with the before! http://liketk.it/3bPlD #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The best part of my job is showering the people I love with special items that help create a home they love. In this case, it was a 9 ft pre-lit flocked Christmas tree from @kingofchristmas ! This tree comes in 4 sections but it was so easy to assemble and can you believe there wasn’t a huge flocking mess? It’s perfect in this corner especially with their two story ceilings.

Double tap if you love the look of a flocked Christmas tree! 👆Now, it’s time to get mine out🤓

The curtains are up and I still can’t decide between the two. 🤔I hung the mauve ones by using the pinch pleat method. The ochre drapes are hung by the threads on the back. I wanted to give you an idea how they both look since there are different ways to hang curtains. Ok which color has your vote?

My drapes from @spoonflower arrived and they’re up! I chose these window pane drapes for a little geometric pattern mixing against the soft vintage inspired rug. Swipe to see the before. What do you think?

One of my favorite changes to our bedroom is the Georgie rug from @loloirugs @amberinteriors collection. I love the earthy tones and that it doesn’t roll on top of our carpet.

If you’re on the fence with wallpaper, try your hand at this gray poplin peel and stick wallpaper. It’s by far the easiest one to install making it the perfect first wallpapering project. There’s nothing to line up and it blends seamlessly. That’s another reason why I didn’t put it behind the headboard. I can add it anytime if I want in the future.

Swipe to see the before! What’s your favorite change?

If you had the luxury to choose between the two what would you rather have? A personal chef that cooks for your family every single day or housekeeper who does all the cleaning AND laundry. 🤔

We spent Thanksgiving week in DC with my sister’s family and had the time of our lives. We ate tons of good food (duh), visited all the monuments, belly laughed all day, talked to a famous person, and bought some amazing Costco apparel. Anyone pick up a David Bit-ton sweatshirt yet? #vuittonslilbrother 🤣

#LTKhome #LTKHoliday

I did a little thing and moved the armchairs in front of this bookshelf. Gotta say I love it!

And I’m so excited to be reunited with my sister and her family for Thanksgiving. Her kids had no idea! You gotta swipe to see our sweet reunion. We live so far from each other so we decided to meet in the middle here in DC.

My metallic and blush tree is live! It’s full of faux branches, thick ribbon, white poinsettias and lots of ball and crystal ornaments. Can’t forget her branch mohawk!

I love how this turned out. Forget caboodles… gimme a gorgeous flocked Christmas tree!

#LTKhome #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Did y’all know caboodles are back? It’s fun seeing all of my childhood favs make a comeback even though my immigrant parents said them things were simply unnecessary.😩😣😭

Well speaking of unnecessary things, mantel decorating could fall under that same category but it sure does bring me joy just like a caboodle would have back in the day.🤣

Ok, should I add some blush velvet ribbon here or keep it as is. I still can’t decide. 🤔 #simplyunneccessary #itsallrelative #iwantacaboodle #immigrantparents

In order to truly appreciate the after, you have to see the beginning. (Swipe!) Here’s a gentle reminder that a space takes time, can evolve and be appreciated through each phase. And those legos and toys strewn all over the place is only temporary. Have a wonderful Friday, friends!❤️

#LTKhome

Did you see the crazy damage I did to my little office wall?🙈 It only had like a gazillion holes from all the nails and anchors but it’s ok bc I patched them up!
Time to vote. Do I install grasscloth wallpaper or just paint it?! Heeeelp

Do you have an idea where I hide my remotes?👀

I shared some tips on how to do a simple living room refresh with textiles in today’s blog post. You’ll also find all the sources there including my favorite greenery that lasts for months and the perfect acrylic tray to corral all your necessary items.

Last week, I gave this awkward alcove a refresh. My mantra is always shop the house first! You don’t need to go and buy something to start or finish a space. Work with what you have and move things around. You may just love the simple change that gives you a fresh new look without spending a dime.

I grabbed a couple more frames around the house and tested them out in the alcove. Which one is your favorite? The framed canvas, round mirror or gold framed art?

And yes, the alcove is off center.😲 Why do builders do this?😵‍💫

#LTKhome #LTKunder50 #LTKSeasonal

Last week, I gave this awkward alcove a refresh. Many of you noticed it’s not centered and I believe the builder did this to make it look centered from further away when you look at the arched ceilings.

Who else is sad that @brownbutterbakeryny went back to New York? 🙋🏻‍♀️😢 I’ve been sad but thankful for all the crazy videos I have saved on my phone. Swipe to see my sis and niece enjoying our patio. The cutest was when I would randomly see my 6 yr old niece come out on her own to enjoy this space alone. She told me she loved how peaceful it was.🥰🥰🥰

The greatest gift this patio has given us is the ability to share it with our loved ones. Thanks to my friends at @serenaandlily for adding special decorative touches like this foldable teak stool so we can relax even longer on the sofa. The breakfast tray serves as my desk when I want to work out here which is quite often.

Check out today’s blog post for more photos and sources! What’s your favorite part of this space? #sponsored

Our dining set still hasn’t arrived but that didn’t stop me from setting a pretty table in the patio for our mothers and Granny June today.

Speaking of Granny June, she turns 94 tomorrow!! She’s as grumpy, sassy and hilarious as ever. Today, she was super annoyed to be woken up to celebrate and take photos. You better believe she was internally cursing us out 🤬. But we still love her for it. Plus, we try to take as many photos and videos of her as possible bc we know our days are limited with her.

Happy 94th birthday, Granny June! You are dearly loved and adored even when you pitch a fit and give us all the stink eye. 👀

PS: don’t my parents look gorgeous in their Korean hamboks?! ❤️

If you don’t know where to start when decorating a space, find a gorgeous rug. This one coordinates with the dark green from the bookshelf, velvet drapes and the soft peach hues are so pretty.

I shared some tips on my stories for keeping rugs stay put on hardwood floors and carpet. I hope you found them helpful bc bunched up rugs or curled edges are annoying and a total tripping hazard.

I’m loving how this space has transformed over the years. Swipe to see what it used to look like! May this be a reminder that your kids will one day grow up and that crazy mess will be no more. Ok, it’ll be more like a hidden mess. 😉

I’ve been on a furniture makeover kick lately and this one did not disappoint!! I cut some fluted molding pieces and glued them on top of my 18 year old glass console table. This table is as old as our marriage as it was one of the first pieces we ever bought from Crate and Barrel when we got married. Swipe to see the before!

In 1985, my very young parents immigrated to the US with me and my baby sister @brownbutterbakeryny. She had just turned 1 and I was 5. Swipe to see the photo of us at the airport the day we left South Korea. We all look legit DEPRESSED!! Can you tell my grandparents and their sisters were so upset we were leaving? 😭My parents were understandably filled with anxiety of the unknown future that awaited us.

I couldn’t truly understand the extent of what was happening but I was depressed bc my mama made the decision to cut my long hair and give me the worst perm just days before we left. I guess she thought it was a nice fresh start to our new life? Mom, you were so wrong for that! 🤣

My mom recently gave me this photo a few months ago and we laughed so so hard. When I look at this this photo now, I see struggle, hope, resilience, determination and so many terrible hair styles. 😜It reminds me where I came from and how hard my parents worked to provide the life they wanted for us. Thank you, 엄마 and 아빠. I am forever grateful for your love and sacrifice. Now, it’s my turn to take care of you. ❤️

Who remembers when I added wallpaper to the back of this bookshelf?

This week, my sad, deflated pouf got revived with new foam balls and the bookshelf got restyled with some newly spray painted items. These small things are making me love our space even more.

What are some small things that are bringing you delight these days?

Bonina finally made her appearance! This is the extent of my Halloween decor this year. Don’t worry, we’re still going all out with our costumes but I’m definitely keeping it simple at home.
Are you guys going trick-or-treating with the kids or staying in?

Today’s “Goodness Grazes” platter consists of a variety of cheeses, Korean scallion pancakes, an assortment of dips, crackers and some fresh fruits and vegetables.

I shared a blog post today on some tips to help your kids eat more veggies. One of those tips is including some delicious dips or dressings. My kids love cookie butter with celery and apples and ranch dressing with mini peppers and carrots. Korean gochujang is the perfect spicy sauce for cucumbers.

What would you eat first from this board? My dairy intolerance didn’t stop me from digging into the brie with hot pepper jelly! 😋 Yum!

Two posts in one day? Who dis 👀. Today, I joined some blogger friends and shared a tour of our dining rooms. I recently transformed our dining room into a dark and moody cocoon.

Today, I partnered up with my friends @atcharlotteshouse and @honeybuilthome and shared our painting projects on our stories. I reupholstered that ottoman with some fun animal print fabric and painted the base. Now it’s as good as new again! Are you surprised I didn’t paint it black?😂

I also spray painted that irregular shaped vase and it’s holding some limelight hydrangeas that just started blooming this week. Swipe to see what my foyer used to look like and be sure to see what Charlotte and Christine finished today!

Since the kids have been home so much, I have been trying to teach them new things like roasting a whole chicken, painting old furniture and reupholstering cushions. I’m not great at teaching conventional subjects but I can sure teach you how to create a tablescape!

Today’s summer lesson was making homemade biscuits with Jules. The best part? You only need 2 ingredients! I shared the recipe in today’s blog post. What’s your favorite way to eat biscuits? Mine is with fig preserves and some fried chicken!

Do you remember what my laundry room used to look like? Swipe left! With all the time spent doing this chore, I figured we might as well make it look beautiful and act functional for our family. Today, I joined my friends @lovefabdecor, @haneens_haven and @simplecozycharm for my weekly quaranclean series and shared our spring cleaning tips. I have to say, quarancleaning is motivating me to finish all the cleaning chores I’ve been meaning to tackle and get me through this time. Well, that and TikTok. 🤪 What has been helping you during this quarantine?

I’m just a girl staring at her new hallway bookcase with love in her eyes. Words like storage and organization speak straight to my heart.

In totally unrelated news, I went to my friend’s bday costume party last night and it was epic. We had to dress up as movie characters and most of you guys got it right! Swipe to see my costume. How did I do? Was anyone else obsessed with Pee Wee as a kid? My kids were like, “umm... who are you supposed to be?” 🤔😂 #differentgeneration

Did you see the blog post today on my client’s master bedroom reveal? My favorite part is how we updated the office area in the room. We incorporated a lot of special pieces that have been passed down to my client from her grandparents like this antique dining table and chair. I reupholstered the chair for a simple update. You’ll have to read the full post for all the photos, sources and tips for how it all came together. Doesn’t it look and feel lighter and brighter?
