A great outdoor space doesn’t have to be expensive.

The ones that get used the most usually have a few simple things in common.

Seating. Shade. Lighting. Fire. And a reason to stay.

What keeps you outside the longest?

The TV was actually the easy part.

Figuring out where to put it so it looked nice, stayed protected, and didn’t turn into a huge project was the challenge.

This entire setup came in under $1,000.

Trying to design a room for college-age girls is oddly hard because everything online feels either teen bedroom… or dorm room.

And neither really felt right for girls who are 19 and 21 and still come home to their room.

We built this house four years ago and never touched this space, so I wanted to finally make it feel more grown up for them now — but also timeless enough that down the road it could easily transition into a guest room or work for future buyers too depending on how it’s styled.

I feel like this ended up being that perfect middle ground.

We wanted a TV outside that could stay out year-round, but we didn’t love any of the typical options.

Instead of mounting one to the house or building a large feature wall, we installed a post, added a weatherproof locking case and used a regular TV.

It ended up being one of our favorite patio upgrades because it gives us the function we wanted without taking away from the look of the space.

Sometimes the best home projects are the ones that solve a problem without making a bigger one.

Sometimes all you need is a good top and your favorite jeans.

This one from Commense is comfortable, flattering, and looks more expensive than it is. @Commense

Just a good pair of jeans, a white tank & summer sandals. That’s basically my personality from May through September.

Furniture shopping lately just feels like a gamble.

There are SO many options now, which sounds great, until you realize every single thing has mixed reviews and half the time you have no idea what’s actually going to look and feel good in real life.

We bought this affordable king bed from Amazon over a year ago after looking at so many different options and it ended up being one of those purchases I’m genuinely happy we made.

Whenever I find something for our house that actually lives up to the hype, I always want to share it because I know I can’t be the only one trying to figure out what’s actually good anymore.

The bed is linked in my bio!

Brunch, dinner, city weekends, vacation nights… this set somehow works for all of it.

At this point I’ve accepted that there are two types of people during home projects 😂

The people who need exact measurements… and the people who can just look at a wall and immediately know what feels right.

Unfortunately for Tony, I’m the second one.

Also not sure why tape measures suddenly become impossible to use the second someone is watching you use one.

I’ve tried a lot of flowers in outdoor pots over the years, and these are the two I keep rebuying.

Rio Dipladenias stay full, bloom nonstop, and somehow still look good at the end of summer instead of getting thin and scraggly halfway through July.

And ferns honestly make every planter look better. They instantly make pots feel lush and layered and they’re super low maintenance.

Both of these are usually easy to find @homedepot and they’ve become my go-to combo for summer planters that actually last.

We tried the whiskey barrel setup first and it just wasn’t sturdy enough for the size of our yard.

The posts would shift, the barrels didn’t hold up… and we didn’t want lights just around the patio anyway.

We wanted something that would go across the whole yard and actually stay up year round.

So we ended up doing actual posts and haven’t had to touch them since.

They’re on a timer, come on every night, and have held up through winter, storms… everything.

I linked the posts, cafe lights and everything we used in my bio if you’re trying to figure out your own setup.

Prom bouquets, wedding bouquets… they’re all expensive.
But, it’s really not about the flowers—it’s how you put them together.

We had a dining room… and I finally stopped pretending we use it, so I changed it into a space we actually sit in

Nothing complicated,
just pieces that work together

I pulled everything for this space from @wayfair — chairs, rug, table and light

We all have those shoes we’re definitely going to wear again… eventually.

I can’t do heels like I used to, but I’m also not getting rid of them. That feels aggressive.

These shelves + the little organizers just made everything fit without cramming or stacking.

Nothing fancy — just works.
I used the white organizers + boot inserts from Amazon and the IKEA lack shelves on the wall.

Simple + inexpensive.

A few days in Key West with friends… and honestly, this is your reminder to just go.

No overthinking. No perfect plan. Just say yes, book the trip, and let it unfold.

We laughed more than we expected, stayed out later than we planned, and somehow those are always the nights you remember most.

Key West is that kind of place…
laid-back, go-with-the-flow, nothing needs to be perfect to feel really good.

And at this stage of life, that’s kind of the whole point.

Stop searching Pinterest for how to decorate your teen’s room.
Instead, start with what they already love.

Music, sports, art, books — whatever they’re into. When the room reflects them, it instantly works.
In this case… vinyl records.

If you want the record shelves I used, comment SHELVES and I’ll send the link.

Kids don’t just grow — their stuff grows with them.

From the little treasures that make no sense to anyone else…
to collections, hobbies, shoes, hats, memories — they always want it close, and they want to see it.

So instead of fighting the clutter, I try to give it a place that can grow with them.
Built-ins for the things they love now.
Shelving that can change later.
Closets that actually hold what real life looks like (because dressers never seem to).

A room that feels finished today…
but still makes sense when they’re bigger tomorrow.

Designing for kids isn’t about perfection.
It’s about making space for who they are becoming.

This is Pewter Green (SW 6208).
It changes with the light, but never feels trendy or loud.
I still love it — and that says a lot.
Timeless > Trendy

Turns out I just needed a small room to try color without freaking out halfway through. This one made me braver.

I lived with the white ottoman while I figured out the room.
It did its job.
This one just feels like it belongs.

We always laugh because we both know how this goes 😅
I say the words.
He already knows the budget, the timeline,
and the “one more thing” are about to change.

I look at this every morning while getting dressed.
It wasn’t about manifesting things — it was about staying connected to how I wanted to live.
Time to make a new one.

The 3 AM wakeups are nightly now… so I upgraded my pillow situation.
These queen-sized ones are soft, super fluffy and honestly feel pretty great when I’m wide awake for no reason. 😆

I mix faux and real greens out front…
and only the real ones get a little spray paint.
So when they start to turn brown?
You’d never know the difference. 😂🎄

Walking into my house at Christmas and instantly feeling that warmth.
A good entryway piece really does set the tone.

The easiest holiday hack: spray paint your décor.

I found these lotus pods on clearance, gave them a coat of Vintage Gold by @rustoleum (the best Christmas gold), let them dry, and added them right into my tree.

It works on old ornaments, branches, stems — anything you want to refresh or match your holiday palette.

When my oldest left for college, I realized something fast:
the only time we’re all home before Christmas… is Thanksgiving.

So now I decorate early.
Not to rush the season, but to save the tradition.
All the family ornaments we’ve collected through the years — the ones they made when they were little, the ones tied to memories — we hang them together when everyone is finally home.

If you’re in the college-kid season too… you understand this in your bones. 🤍🎄
And if you know a mom who needs this reminder, share it with her❤️

Same cozy vibe as last year… just switched the tray and added small bells in the greens.
Honestly, you can reuse so much of what you already have and still make it feel new. 🤍✨

I’ve been putting a Christmas tree in my kids’ rooms since they were little.
It’s such a small thing, but it fills the house with this quiet kind of magic. ✨
It’s the kind of joy that never really gets old.
