I believe art is the most personal layer of a home. It tells a story. It holds memory. And it almost always takes time (and saving) to find the pieces that truly feel like you. BUT, blank walls in the meantime don’t serve anyone. There’s a real need for thoughtful placeholders while you wait for the right piece, the right moment, the right investment. And for that season, Target is often my go-to.

The availability, range, detail, quality, and price point make it an easy yes when the goal is to live well now, without rushing something permanent.

I’ve linked a few current options that meet the standard: versatile, quality, and worthy of your walls while you curate slowly and with intention. Simply comment ART to browse!

The Art of a Room to Rest | PART III, The Finishing Layers:

If the foundation sets the tone, the finishing layers create the feeling. This is where function meets softness, and where a room shifts from styled to settled. Every choice matters—not for impact, but for balance.

Start with pieces that earn their place.
Here, a bamboo tortoise table between the windows brings utility and quiet texture. A tufted bench adds comfort and an invitation to pause, with the function of a place to get dressed.

Ground the palette underfoot. A patterned rug anchors the room, holding the colors together and softening the space both visually and physically.

Then, layer the windows fully.
Stripes introduce rhythm and movement.
Woven roman shades add warmth and depth. Together, they frame the light and give the room a sense of completeness.

The final layers shouldn’t shout.
They should support how the room is lived in—calm, functional, and considered.

When each element has intention, rest follows naturally. You can shop my entire space by simply commenting SHOP. Then, check your messages! Plus, use code MEG for an extra 10% off your @selectblinds window treatments order, sitewide!

Paint Deserves a Process ✨

Paint is often treated like a final detail, but it’s one of the most influential decisions in a space. When we moved in, this room felt unfinished. It didn’t account for the light, the function of the room, or how we actually live in it.

We tested undertones throughout the day. We considered how the color would interact with existing materials. We chose shades that would support the room, from the walls, through trim.

The difference between the “before” and now isn’t just the color itself. It’s the process behind the choice.

If you’re feeling stuck or second-guessing your paint decisions, it’s usually not about the shade, it’s about missing a framework.

Frame the family photos 🤍 It may sound overstated, but it’s rare that we stop and do so. Before we know it, those moments have turned into memories and it only brings pure joy to the home to see them.

The Art of a Room to Rest | PART II, The Dresser:

If the bed is the anchor, the dresser is the quiet workhorse of the room.

Choose a piece that makes a statement without demanding attention: timeless in form, substantial in weight, and designed to live with you for years. Beauty matters here, but function matters more.

Open surface space for a few intentional objects: a lamp, a vessel, boxes, and something personal. Leave room to breathe. A dresser should never feel crowded.

Inside, every drawer deserves purpose.
Think in categories, not chaos: sleepwear here, daily essentials there, linens where they belong. When each drawer has intention, the room feels calmer even when it’s unseen.

A well-chosen dresser supports rest in a quieter way. It removes friction from your mornings and evenings—and that ease is part of the luxury.

Be sure to head back for Part 3!

The Art of a Room to Rest | PART 1: The Bed:

Welcome to a series where I guide your journey to making an elevated, yet fully relaxed room to rest. Today, we’re starting with the bed as it is the anchor of the space:

Choose a statement bedframe that stands the test of time for you—one that makes you swoon, then immediately settles the room.

Layer in the bedding with intention: great sheets as a base, a quilt for texture, a duvet for softness.

Build a pillow system using different sizes, shapes, and edges so it feels collected, not styled.

Luxury here isn’t about perfection.
It’s about weight, comfort, and ease: the kind you actually want to come back to at night.

This is where the room begins, come back for part 2!

I get asked about the paint colors of my home more than anything else. So, here they are: swipe through the tried-and-true neutrals that ground our home, layered with a few bold moments that keep it interesting.

I’ll always believe the magic is in the mix: safe enough to live with, confident enough to feel intentional. Paint sets the tone, tells the story, and quietly does the heavy lifting in every space.

Save this for later, steal what speaks to you, and don’t be afraid to add a little edge where it counts!
