I seem to be drawn to little writing desks these days! I loved the idea of the marble top on this one. It reminds me of an antique wash basin table!

Scarlett Marble Writing Desk (39") | Pottery Barn (US)

Love the details of this brass wall sconces! The delicate pleated shade mixed with the more modern base is an eye catching combination. #dailyfind

#LTKHome

Loving this cozy corner of our home 🥰. Old + new is always a winning combination

#LTKHome

The cutest desk! Perfect for a kid’s room or a small corner that needs a little writing space

I shop Wayfair all the time for both my home and my clients. Thinking back through some of my favorite pieces of furniture, lighting, and decor that are in my own home, these are my top 5 that have stood the test of time and I’d buy again in a heartbeat!

Just a few highlights…
- This rug is SO SOFT! People always comment on how nice it feels.
- The blue chairs are a great mix of traditional style with a punchy mod fabric.
- If that lamp wasn’t so perfect for my living room I’d steal it for my daughter’s bedroom. 😉
- That art print fools people into thinking it’s an original all the time and it’s SO affordable!
- We’ve had our bed the longest out of all of these pieces (6.5 years) and it looks just as good as the day we bought it.

All winners in my book!

@wayfair #AD #wayfairpartner #wayfair

These are my top five BEST Wayfair finds that I’ve owned for years:
- A super soft Turkish style rug
- blue patterned chairs
- an abstract landscape
- a table lamp with a scalloped rattan shade
- a classic wingback bed

I shop Wayfair a lot because it’s a one stop shop for so many different categories in one place – from beautiful lighting to reliable furniture brands – in the shipping is also often very quick and free.

Want to know more? I’m reviewing each of these in detail on the blog at mixandmatchdesign.com. I’ll tell you how long I found it, what I love about it, and if I have any feedback or watch outs on it. I love reading a good review and if you do too, this is for you!

This new Jenny Lynne style nightstand is so cute! It comes in several styles, including a drawer on the bottom and a smaller version. Four finishes as well! It’s well priced at under $300. Don’t miss this one!

We’ll be giving our powder room a makeover with our big reno over the summer and I had a chance to play around with some design ideas today! I chose a fluted light oak vanity that offers good storage, along with a mix of polished nickel and brass finishes. I’m loving this Sanderson wallpaper paired with the herringbone tile floor too.

I’ve been doing a lot of rendering with AI recently and it’s so helpful to visualize things. Here’s where I landed for today! I’d be thrilled with these selections, but being a designer makes it hard to actually finalize things. 🥴 Loving the idea generation phase though!

#LTKHome

I loved these curtains before, but now they have even more options to fit just about any window! They offer extra wide widths along with four lengths, and lots of good colors. There is a true blackout now too, so you can use them in a bedroom more easily!

I was recently sourcing a dresser for a client and came across these two very similar white-washed ones at very different price points so I thought it would be fun to play a little game of high versus low! Which one would you choose?

#LTKHome

This dresser with a swoopy base caught my eye! Would be so pretty in a coastal traditional home.

These counter stools from our old kitchen are still one of my favorite finds. I can’t believe how affordable they are at full price and right now two of the colors are on sale! We were happy with these for 4+ years and would buy them again!

Obsessed with these new curtains from the @pinkchickenny x @westelm collection!

Will someone please let me design a little girl’s room around them?

#LTKHome

I’ve now used these dining chairs for 3 (maybe more?!) client projects - they’re so versatile. Now they come in 11 colors and are 20% off right now!

Surprisingly affordable given the source. 😉

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKHome

If you’re looking for a vintage inspired mirror, take a look at this one! I love the scalloped edge and the bead detail. The price point is really good too! It would be great in a bathroom or above a console table.

#LTKHome

I’m going to start sharing a favorite find each day (or at least a few days a week!). These are pieces that stop me in my tracks and I hope you like them too! Today’s is a beautiful, English-inspired barley twist desk. This would be perfect as a console table as well with a couple of ottomans underneath. I’m hoping to use it like that in a client’s home that I’m working on now!

Looking for something easy and meaningful to give? I just came across this gallery wall set for under $100 that’s highly rated. Just get a few photos printed, pop them in the frames, and you have a beautiful, collected gallery wall that’s ready to hang!

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife

It might be time to drop a hint, because if you’re like me, you’re a mom who is doing ALL the things right now: ordering the gifts, wrapping said gifts, signing up to bring cookies to the class party next week, making sure you have a babysitter for the Christmas party on Saturday night…the list goes on, am I right? Having a cozy retreat to sink into at the end of the day should be high on your list. Let’s work on that in 2026! Here’s some inspiration to get you started, but let’s make it yours. I’m here to help!

#LTKHome

I love a good challenge. 🤓 This bathroom in our new-to-us 1920s home was in dire need of a total renovation. It’s hard to believe this was a Jack and Jill style with two doors entering into a 5‘ x 7.5‘ space! To make it more functional we closed off a door and moved the vanity and shower plumbing to be in line with the toilet so everything was in a nice row. I also wanted to make sure it had lots of personality, so I designed it with a vertical ivory and white striped tile and added a floral block print wallpaper. Needless to say, I am in love with this for both its function and modern cottage style! I am so excited for my daughter to use it for many years to come.

This is my second review of a faux garland I love! It’s a nice mixed pine with white berries. I trick people into thinking this one is real every year! This one also comes in just one longer length as well.

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday

Reviewing two of my favorite faux garlands for you today! These are some longtime favorites that are a great balance of price and quality.

The first is this Norfolk Pine. They just sell it in the longer length now, but I actually think that’s better than what I have! It’s currently 50% off too, so grab it now while it’s available! Head to my next post to see my second review.

I’m just dipping my toe into AI rendering and wow, how cool is this? I transformed my recent Modern Cottage Living/Dining Room moodboard into a realistic room and am very impressed with how it turned out. I’m sure I’ll be integrating this tool into my design client projects soon! What do you think? Would you want to have this option for a project?

#LTKHome

Hello from my daughter’s bathroom! I love this brass medicine cabinet and polished nickel faucet combo 😍. Can’t wait to wallpaper in here!

#LTKHome

There’s so many good things on sale for up to 40% off, including these Windsor dining chairs that come in a bunch of colors!

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

I’m excited to kick off my new series, “Request a Room Design” with this open concept living dining room! I put out a call a couple of weeks ago for room ideas for me to design, and I had a blast pulling this modern cottage space together!

When it comes to designing open concept spaces, there are a couple of important things to keep in mind to make sure your space feels cohesive:
- Carry a consistent metal finish and style throughout your overhead light fixtures.
- Make sure you repeat some elements like wood finish or colors in both spaces.
- Create a layout that’s functional including good walkway space and access to and around seating areas.

I hope you enjoyed this first installment! I’ll do another one later in November so stay tuned for that!

TFW… you find the most adorable headboard that comes in so many great fabric options AND it’s affordable! I’m especially digging the gingham options. It’s whispering that modern cottage vibe to me...and I may need one for my guest room.

I’ve been on the hunt for wallpaper for my daughter‘s bathroom and finally landed on the cutest block print! It’s the top left in this round up. I figured I would share a few other favorites I found as well!

#LTKHome

This is a mistake I see all the time! 🫣

Hanging art at the right height is one of the easiest ways to give your home a designer’s touch. Just remember a few rules of thumb:

1. If your art hangs alone on a wall (no furniture underneath), hang it so that the center is at high-level. This usually equals about 58 to 60 inches from the floor to the center of your piece.
2. If you’re hanging a group of art like a gallery wall or even just a pair, hang it so that the center of the GROUP is at eye level (58-60” to center).
3. If it’s hanging above a piece of furniture, there’s a little more wiggle room, but you don’t want a ton of space between the top of the piece and your art. A good distance to shoot for is 4 to 8 inches above the top.

Give this a try next time you’ve got a piece of art to hang and let me know in the comments if you’d like me to share more easy tips like this!

I finally picked a wallpaper to finish of my little girl’s bathroom and I cannot wait to get it up on those white walls! It took ordering several samples and noodling over it for a couple of months (wallpaper is an investment!), but I found “the one” - a pink and blue block print floral. A great nod to the modern cottage look I love! It’s linked below along with the other bathroom sources!

Chris Loves Julia launched a big, new collection of rugs with Loloi this week and I’m loving so many! These are just a few of my favorites…there’s quite a diversity of shapes, sizes, and price points. Check them out and let me know what you think!
