Window treatments are an investment, which is exactly why I’ll always make the case for a stripe. They have enough pattern to make a room feel considered and interesting, but they’re classic enough that you’re not going to look at them in three years and wonder what you were thinking.

Basically: the safe bet that doesn’t look like the safe bet. If you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger, this is a good time: use code MEG for up to 60% off, one of the highest offers to date.

I haven’t properly said hello in a while and with so many new faces here lately, it felt like a good time. Hi! 👋🏼

A lot of you have found me through my kitchen (she does tend to steal the show), and one of the coolest parts of sharing our renovations has been hearing how many of you have used these posts to navigate + complete renovations of your own.

A few things about me: I’ll rearrange a room 10 times until it feels right. I firmly believe every space needs something old. I’m forever chasing that collected, lived-in kind of home that tells my story, not a catalog’s. I love a good outfit almost as much as a good lamp. A “quick house project” is rarely quick in this house. I’ll always say yes to a crisp wine and oysters. And if you ask where something is from, I will absolutely find the link.

Around here you’ll find lots of home: decorating, renovating, styling, sourcing + all the little details in between…with outfits, entertaining, everyday life and whatever I’m currently loving mixed in.

And as always, comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links to shop my entire home, outfits + Amazon storefronts.

The corners I walk past a hundred times a day deserve a little appreciation, too. The afternoon light, something left on the counter, a room looking particularly good for no reason at all. Here’s a reminder that the ordinary parts of home are often the ones we love most.

To shop my entire home, comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links. 🤍

Love when the sun shows off around here ✨ There’s something about the weekend light pouring in that makes every little detail, texture and corner of a room feel that much better.

My favorite whites aren’t really white at all 🤍

They’re a mix of creamy, nuanced shades that shift throughout the day depending on the light, and you kind of have to be okay with that. Sometimes they read a little warmer, sometimes softer, sometimes almost perfectly neutral. That’s the beauty (and fun) of choosing a white with some personality.

If you’re interested in the exact paint colors I used, or want to shop anything in the space, comment SHOP and I’ll send you the details.

There are no words for these pants! Somehow these are actually chic while feeling like the most comfortable thing I own, a combination I’m always skeptical of until proven otherwise.

They’re quite literally the softest pants ever, no lie, but it’s the fit that really got me. Drapey, ridiculously flattering and polished enough to make an outfit feel pulled together while I’m essentially getting away with wearing pajamas.

Safe to say I won’t be taking these off now through fall. Well worth the hype and investment.

My case for warm neutrals:

Neutral gets put in the boring box far too quickly. I’d argue you just need better neutrals.

Warm wood, creamy paint, veined stone, aged brass, woven textures and pieces that feel collected instead of perfectly matched. There may not be a lot of color happening in our kitchen, but there’s plenty of character—and that’s always been the point.

Quiet? Sure. Boring? I’ll respectfully disagree.

Comment SHOP for all my kitchen details + sources if this inspires your own!

A little character goes a long way🤎 This carved walnut mirror has that collected, one-of-a-kind feel I’m always hunting for, and right now it’s 25% off for Labor Day.

Even better? So many of the other pieces you see throughout this space are on sale too, making it a very good weekend to finally pull the trigger on anything you’ve had your eye on.

The best kind of wardrobe math: fewer pieces, way more ways to wear them.

@trovata has been a go-to of mine for years for quality pieces that stick with me season after season. They’re elevated without trying too hard, comfortable enough for real life, and endlessly easy to mix, match and make my own—which is exactly what I want from my closet these days.

4 tops. 2 bottoms. So many ways to wear them now and straight into fall.

Comment SHOP for everything you see here! Down to my new favorite flats that are entirely comfortable.

#Ad These are some of my @wayfair finds I’d buy again, and a few you may want in your home, too.
I’m always looking for those pieces that can shift a room without completely reinventing it, especially heading into a new season. Wayfair Verified has become one of my favorite shortcuts for narrowing down the endless options and shopping with a little more confidence. I can spend less time searching and more time finding the pieces that actually feel right for our home.
These are a few Verified finds already living in mine that I love for an easy fall refresh. Think warm woods, great texture and those little layers that make home feel especially good this time of year.
I’ve linked all of them in my LTK Shop, comment SHOP with a message to your inbox

Wayfair Verified brought me this perfect bench + pillow combo for our mudroom—making it so much easier to shop with confidence and know I’m choosing pieces worth bringing home.

I wanted the view when you first step inside our home to tell a little bit of our story before we even say hello. From the collected pieces, to the old mixed with new, the rooms that feel lived in, and a home that never feels too precious to actually live in.

More than anything, I wanted it to feel welcoming. Like you can drop your bag, pull up a chair and stay awhile.

If you’re creating a home that feels layered, personal and distinctly yours, follow along. And comment SHOP to shop our home room by room.

We all agreed we weren’t buying more fall decor this year. And then these showed up.

Under $20, a rich dark brown, and a woven texture that makes them look more like something collected over time than something that arrived on your doorstep two days later. They come in two sizes, work indoors or out, and add just enough fall to make the house feel ready for the season without turning it into a pumpkin patch.

Classic, understated, charming, and festive enough to make the whole family happy. That’s my kind of seasonal decorating.

I have a feeling these won’t stick around once everyone gets into fall mode, so consider this your head start. Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the link.

A room truly isnt complete until window treatments are in! With @selectblinds , you can install in seconds between their no drill and simple screw options. The best part? They are offering up to 55% off sitewide with code MEG

Consider these your throw-on polish for fall. 🤎 The pair you reach for when you want to look pulled together for a workday, dinner, school drop-off—or honestly anywhere that requires real pants without sacrificing comfort.

I’m wearing the brown in a size 4, and the fit is SO good. They hit in all the right places, drape beautifully and somehow feel far more expensive than their under-$40 price tag would suggest.

And the brown? Such a good little shift from my usual neutrals for fall. They come in a bunch of beautiful colors, too, so pick your poison.

My one piece of kitchen decorating advice? Decorate with the things you actually use.

The prettiest kitchens aren’t filled with decor for the sake of decor. They’re filled with beautiful, functional things that earn their spot on the counter: a great wood cutting board, a crock of utensils, a bowl you actually reach for, cookbooks with dog-eared pages, a pretty bottle of olive oil, a lamp that gives you that perfect glow at night.

When you choose quality, functional pieces that are also beautiful, you don’t have to sacrifice precious surface space just to make your kitchen feel decorated. The things you need every day become the decor.

It’s what makes a kitchen feel warm, collected and genuinely lived in…not overly styled or like no one actually cooks there.

It’s Friday at 5, so naturally I’m clocking out of work and clocking into the bar I built in my own house.

It was always in the plans that Friday nights would go from bar hopping in the city to pouring a drink at home in the county. Not only is the commute is significantly better, I’ve curated a space just for us.

Happy hour starts now. Want to make your own? Comment SHOP for everything you see here.

If you’re into homes that feel collected over time, not decorated all at once, you’re in the right place.

I’m always sharing the pieces, vintage finds, little details and layers that have made our house feel like ours, plus plenty of inspiration for creating a home that feels like you.

Follow along for more home inspiration + finds, and comment SHOP and I’ll send you the link to shop my entire home, room by room.

Your house can be fully furnished and still not feel finished. Usually, it’s not another big purchase that’s missing. It’s the layers…the things that make a room feel collected, personal, and distinctly yours.

A few reasons your home might still feel like it’s missing something:

You’re matching too much. Mix the wood tones. Mix your metals. Let the old table live next to the new chair. A little contrast is what gives a room depth.

Everything is new. A room needs something with a past. Vintage art, an antique side table, an old frame, a piece passed down—anything that makes it feel like your home came together over time rather than all at once.

You’re missing collected objects. The little things you pick up on travels, inherit from family, find at an antique shop, or simply love for no particular reason. Layer them into shelves, tabletops and unexpected corners. Not everything in your home needs to have been purchased specifically for that room.

You’re afraid of family photos. Put them out. Mix them into gallery walls, tuck a small framed photo onto a bookshelf, layer one into a tabletop moment. Your home should have evidence of the people who actually live there.

You’re missing the smaller layers. Books stacked under a lamp. Art leaning behind something else. Textiles, trays, bowls, objects with interesting shapes. These are often what take a room from decorated to lived in.

Everything is the same scale. Rooms need variation—something oversized, something delicate, different heights, shapes and visual weights.

You’re decorating for the photo instead of your life. The most interesting homes give you little clues about the people who live there.

The goal isn’t for everything to perfectly match. It’s for it to feel like it somehow belongs together, and like it could only belong to you.

Fully embracing the Sunday gloom over here as the kind of afternoon made for staying in, getting cozy + slowly putting the house (and ourselves) back together before another full week begins.

A little reset, a little nesting, dinner on the horizon, and nowhere else we need to be. My favorite kind of Sunday, really.

It’s the little things when you’re washing and cutting approximately 100 berries a week.

This chic little berry bowl has been one of those why didn’t I have this sooner kitchen finds, and you guys have sold it out over and over for good reason! I rinse, prep + serve the berries right in it—and bonus, I’ll pop the whole thing straight into the fridge when we’re done. One less container, one less step, and somehow berry duty feels a little more elevated.

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the link to the bowl + everything else in my kitchen. 🤍

Our working sink was one of the things we built the entire kitchen around. I knew I wanted something that could work hard for us—with multiple components for prepping, washing, drying and everything in between, through every phase of life in this home.

This one checked every box, but what really sold me was the design. It has all the function of a true workstation sink without looking overly utilitarian, with a timeless finish and quality that feels right at home in our kitchen.

One of those decisions I’d make again and again. Comment SHOP and I’ll send you everything you see here.

One of my favorite hours in the kitchen as the sun starting to set, dinner coming together, and getting everything ready for us all to gather around the table. There’s something about this time of day that makes home feel especially good. 🤍

My favorite find is back in stock! These are for anyone chasing the custom look without the custom quote…

These cushions are from Amazon, come in a huge range of sizes and patterns, arrived fast, and fit our kitchen seating perfectly. They instantly made the space feel more tailored while still being practical enough for everyday life. Andddd I just got red wine out of one of them, after spotting it in this video!

The striped chair of my dreams, and officially the piece that made this corner. Oversized in the best way, with plenty of room to curl up solo or cuddle in with my toddler (which is usually how you’ll find us).

And the new side table? The shape, the warm wood, the little bit of character it brings next to the stripe…it just works.

Both from @birchlane, bringing that collected, lived-in feeling I’m always after. Comment SHOP for links to the entire space!

All of my rejuvenation hardware.

I had to have this cheeky brass plaque, but now I can’t decide where it lives. I'd love to find a home near the bar without drilling into cabinets, but I also thought the Dutch door could be fun. However, it just barely fits...the front door feels odd as an exit as its a welcoming piece, and under the dinner bell might be brass overload. So—where would you put it? And ignore the shakes…too many last night!

There’s something about a space that quietly welcomes you in at the start of the day and helps you slow down before the end of it.

Our primary bathroom was designed to feel layered for real life: natural textures, timeless materials, thoughtful storage, and details that make everyday routines feel just a little more special. It’s proof that the most beautiful rooms aren’t just styled, they’re lived in.

Turns out, I don’t have to go far to chase the sun…I just follow it through my house.

One of my favorite things about our home isn’t something I bought—it’s the way the light moves through it. Every afternoon, there’s a new corner that glows, and somehow it makes even the most ordinary moments feel a little more special.

My favorite weather for outdoor dinner parties is almost near!

You don’t need a huge budget to create a table that feels special. A few thoughtful pieces, good food, candlelight, and your favorite people are all it takes to turn an ordinary evening into one everyone remembers.

I rounded up affordable finds that look anything but, so you can host with ease and make every dinner feel a little more intentional.

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you every source you see here.

I truly believe the most beautiful homes aren’t built by sticking to one style, one store, or one price point.

Our home has investment pieces that I’ll hopefully pass down one day, vintage treasures with stories to tell, Facebook Marketplace finds, big-box favorites, and little details collected over time. To me, that’s what makes a home feel layered, lived in, and unmistakably yours.

As millennials, I think we’re redefining what “designer” looks like. It’s less about perfection or matching every finish and more about creating spaces that evolve with your life, reflect your story, and feel collected instead of copied.

So if you’ve ever wondered whether that antique works with your new sofa, or if a Target lamp belongs next to custom cabinetry… my answer is almost always yes.

Welcome to our home, I hope you stick around. 🤍

Comment SHOP if you’d like links to anything you see.

ad. One of my favorite parts of our kitchen renovation has been creating spaces that invite us to slow down and spend time together. 🤍

The Scrabble Studio Edition from @WSGameCompany has quickly become one of those pieces that makes the space. It looks like a beautiful coffee table book on our shelves, but opens into a fully playable Scrabble game with thoughtful details that are meant to be displayed, not hidden away. Keeping it within reach has made spontaneous family game nights even easier. We love functional decor around here, and this one is a 10/10.

Find it at @Target and comment SHOP if you'd like the link to bring one into your own home! Happy gaming & decorating!

We knew we wanted this space to work just as well for a house full of friends as it did for an ordinary Friday at 5.

By placing the bar just off the mudroom, it’s one of the first spaces we walk by when we come home. It makes hosting feel effortless as guests naturally gather here, drinks are easy to grab, and the kitchen stays a little less crowded. But honestly? We love it just as much on the quiet weekends. Walking in after a long week, setting down the work bag, opening a bottle of wine, and easing into the weekend has become one of our favorite little rituals.
