Honestly becoming a tablecloth person and it’s making summer dinners so much more fun! 😂 I love this red, white and blue combo from The Company Store collab with the great Heather Taylor. Such high-quality 100% cotton pieces, and they go so well with these other tablesetting basics you can find at The Company Store. Perfect for Fourth of July or anytime it’s not a million degrees outside. 🤞❤️

I cannot believe what Quince charges for this luggage. This is a large hard shell bag for $220 (!). It expands, it has built-in TSA lock, and the inside has nice organization. I've also been using their packing cubes because I like one big bag for everybody's stuff and this way I can keep it organized.

Quince doesn't offer you 100 options, they just make a few really good ones at amazing prices, and luggage is no exception.

We actually bought some of this luggage for Micah last summer and took it to Mexico, worked great! Lightweight and easy. Such an upgrade from what I was using before, and the price is literally unbeatable for the quality.

Finally replaced these cheap polyester Roman shades with these lovely natural bamboo ones from Neutral Curtains. You can customize nearly everything and chose top-down for these so we can have light but privacy from the sidewalk.

Neutral Curtains uses higher quality natural materials and has an OEKO certification. Their products truly don’t have any strong or irritating smells, and they prioritize making healthy products for our homes.

I recently became a tablecloth person, and I tell ya, it’s life-changing. The fastest and easiest way to set a great foundation for a beautiful party, and then the prettiness of the food is just a bonus! @thecompanystore has the most lovely linens and tablesetting goodies for summer.

Used this floral tablecloth and napkins, napkin rings (I love a casual bunch into the ring!), and more from @thecompanystore for my bachelorette parties/bridal shower brunch and everything felt so pretty and easy!

Linking in LTK, comment SHOP!

Got a summery new case for my phone, loving the butter yellow! I always use Loopy cases because I’m always carrying too many things.

My code suzannahstanley get you 10% off, and suzannahstanley15 get you 15% off two!

What I chose for my bachelorette party/bridal shower, brunch… A floral arranging class and complete DIY floral kits for all my friends! Petal Icon offers these beautiful kits for ladies nights, work events, etc. and ours was perfect for this lovely brunch!

We had a very floral lunch on the patio, and due to the 90° weather we came inside for floral arranging. Petal Icon sends you a video with instructions for your particular kit, but you can just use the principles and do your own thing as well! We all had such a lovely time, being creative and making something beautiful, and celebrating my wedding in a way that’s so much more special to me than drinks out at a bar.

I’m so grateful to be surrounded by these incredible ladies and so glad I got to create a memorable afternoon for them!

Linking the table settings.

LOVE a cotton shift dress for hot days. This one’s fully lined and has pockets 🙌

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife

The quality on this set is amazing, wish I’d gotten the blue too! So great for hot days. In for a more polished look!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Love this date night look and the polka dot trend! This leather jacket is so affordable and versatile too.

These are both from different sets, but I thought they would pair well together! Do you have any sets yet? Loving the elastic waist shorts trend for summer!

My living room is my favorite room in my home! I recently did a blog post with sources for every single thing and my house, all the rooms, and since I get the most questions about my living room, thought I would share these here.

My sofas are a wonderful performance velvet from @interiordefine and I have a blog post all about our exact order.

This room is long and skinny, so the rug is custom from @ernesta.

Where there’s no label, it’s probably vintage! I have several vintage Ethan Allen lamps and other things in here, some art I had inherited from my grandma, and gold frame vintage mirrors, of course. Plus, lots of silver frames of family photos.

What’d I miss? What are you looking for?

I’ve decided I want to start entertaining more, but it turns out it’s inspired the kids too enjoy fancier meals at home too. Lucy asked for a “tea party lunch” the other day and I knew it would take a little extra set up so I got things ready early. The kids loved it. Table linens are from @cottonprintclub, a newer small business that imports 100% cotton block prints and makes them in basically any size you could want, and so many pretty colors and prints. This tablecloth is a substantial cotton, and the napkins are so soft! I got the mix of pretty colors and of course gave Lucy the pink.

Set up a tea party for snack time today. Featuring this beautiful 100% cotton block print tablecloth from a small business that makes them in just about any size you want and so many colors! Also using their beautiful patterned napkins that are in a super soft cotton. Also got these new seagrass chargers that are so affordable but so classy and go with everything!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKfoodie #LTKmomlife

As predicted, wearing both of these pieces all the time! Gingham top is French Connection found at a great price. This maxi skirt is organic cotton and I seriously wear it at least once a week.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKWorkwear

You guys have good taste! These have been top sellers lately, clearly you love neutrals and classics!

Organic cotton maxi skirts, the best and so versatile!

These white shorts are embroidered 🥹

I love this blue speckle mug for only $5

I got this umbrella last year and it’s holding up great. So classy! It’s on sale for less than I paid last year.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

I am so dang excited about my last Marshalls order I had to share with you. Home finds like this classic teapot, great price on a Stanley, cute functional picnic blanket, so many adorable dresses! Fully lined and with pockets! 🙌 Plus adorable little girl dresses. We are going to be so stylish this summer!

Every single one of these pieces was under $40! They sell out fast, I’m linking them below, but definitely poke around while you’re on the site because there are so many good things!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

Wearing a white cotton midi skirt yet again! So versatile, pair with sandals for girlfriends or shopping, or flats for work or. Linking this peplum top and fabulous big necklace too.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

I was never sure about that saying that you dress the way you shop for your closet… But I figure out it’s true for the principles, if not the colors. I always want high-quality natural materials as the foundation, some layering, and fun accent pieces… For an outfit it’s a necklace or earrings, for my home it’s the vintage 1960s fruit sculpture lamp I recently found in an antique store…
But back to this great outfit formula. Full cotton skirt, snug fitting top, cardigan or other short top layer, and of course a fun necklace! Plus real leather sandals, or flats for work. I have been wearing this combo so many places this spring!

Save this for when you stumped getting dressed!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKdayinmylife

We threw together a dinner party for a couple friends this weekend and I didn’t have anything red, white, and blue… nothing against them, but if you combine a tablecloth, some flowers, and some interesting tableware, you have a special party! I’m trying to host more this year but still keep it laid-back. That doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful though!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I had basically given up on finding a rug that was the right size for this room, but there are great custom options now! A rug that’s the right size, filling the room under at least the front legs of all the furniture, especially in a high-quality natural fiber like wool, makes a space feel so much more comfortable and luxurious.

Lucy’s room was already adorable but the new rug, a more functional and pink-trimmed Roman shade, and some art updates made it feel even nicer. And some additional toys and dolls made it feel more like hers. 💕

This rug is from @sisalrugsdirect and I have a link in my IG bio and in my recent full home tour blog post! #SisalStylePartner

Still not over this 90s nostalgia tea party I threw with my friends and our daughters. I found this farm tea set I evidently got for Christmas in 1994 and my parents had held on to… what a great way to enjoy it! Chatting with my girlfriends while our daughters played happily in their dresses and helped pick out their bow colors… What a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

I’m linking all the supplies I got on Amazon, plus this exact tea set and some similar vibes for the table setting! Save and try this with your friends!

My daughter's room was really cute, but needed some upgrades upgrades for function and to make it a little more elegant. First I swapped the Roman shade for this much nicer one… and then the RUG! This made the biggest difference. I found a custom size rug from Sisal Rugs Direct because this room is so long and skinny.

It's a comfortable wool and it comes with a backing attached so it's super easy to lay down. Using a rug the right size gave us enough space for all of her stuff. I was able to clear out some things, get some toy organizers, and then do some final styling touches to make this room feel so lovely and special for her.

The rug for this room honestly stumped me for years because it's so long and skinny and it turns out custom was just the right solution. It's so easy to find exactly what you need on Sisal Rugs Direct for any size room!

Was planning on wearing this dress with flats for wine tasting, but ended up wearing it with heels for dinner! Love this pattern and it’s linen, plus bonus: it has pockets! 20% off today.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert

Wine tasting in the Willamette Valley is one of the most wonderful things you can do with a Sunday afternoon. I love wearing white for wine tasting, feels so classy! I wear this white midi skirt all the time, and I’m linking similar options from this year.

Had two soccer games today, only went to one. It got hot! Love my denim chore jacket for the cooler part of the day, and these seersucker cotton pants are so comfy. Plus, still wearing the rainbow necklace all the time.

I'm going to introduce you to a favorite soup in our house! Otto requested this soup the other day and I figured I would share it with you. The kids call it “Stanley Special,” but I’m pretty sure it’s just a simple Italian sausage white bean soup.

I started making this years ago, inspired by one I think they have it Olive Garden, but this version is dairy free. You can also do it with potatoes instead of beans, but this one is so easy because everything comes from a can.😂

2 pounds of Italian sausage (pork or turkey, though pork is better for sure)
2 onions
3-4 cloves garlic
3 cups broth
2 cans white beans
2 cans diced tomatoes
1/2 bag spinach
Parmesan for serving

I am all about efficiency, so I always use this meat chopper thing instead of a spoon to break up ground meat!

I also hate the smell of garlic on my fingers but I have broken many a garlic press before and they are so hard to clean, so I use this great rocking one. Linking both these tools in my LTK.

Cook for like 30 minutes and it’s done! I add a little parmesan on top because we are low dairy over here.

Save us for later and let me know if you try it!

Sharing the secret to painting a room with just one coat! I learned this on Instagram years ago and it’s life-changing! The trick is, you don’t want to keep stretching the paint farther on your roller. Just paint a 3 ft.² area (or in this case I did a 2 ft.² area because I had a less than perfect roller and a very dark color to go over). Once it starts to get thin, stop and reload your roller!

Edging is a little harder, you may need to do a partial second coat with the brush, or maybe try an edging tool for better coverage. I think I’ll try that next actually!

Linking these fabulous painting coveralls that I wish I’ve been using all my life because I’ve definitely ruined plenty of outfits by bumping into the paint behind me 🫠

I wear this white cotton poplin skirt literally all the time. I love that it’s lined and has pockets! This year‘s versions are 20% off, linking here!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife

I’ve decided to put our patio and some of my summer dining items to good use this summer and do more of these dinners. The pressure is off, but it can still be really beautiful! I absolutely love these hand-painted fish stoneware plates, embroidered crochet napkins, and cheerful checkered linen tablecloth, all from @greenrow. Prefect since GreenRow is all about joy, plus of course sustainable sourcing and vintage inspiration.

But honestly, the perfect outdoor dinner party to me is beautiful, but most importantly, features the impromptu talent show my daughter organized, super easy cooking we can tag team while we chat with our friends, watermelon!, and some hammocking. More of this this summer, please ❤️🌞

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I’ve totally been there… curtains/window treatments are one of the first things you need when you move in for privacy and light blocking, but they’re expensive and it’s really hard to choose the right ones… so if you’re like me, you might end up living with the IKEA, Target, and Amazon options for a little too long.

I’ve finally decided on the right curtains for almost all of the rooms in my home now. I have a template: pinch pleats, on rings, lined, linen or velvet. Trim tape for some color: texture except on the velvet.

You find what works for your and try it in different rooms in your home… it’ll all come together!

A lot of my curtains are from @twopagescurtains and they gave me a code for you… SUZANNAHSTANLEY gets you 25% off. This post is not sponsored; I’m really just this excited about curtains.

I wear this white cotton poplin skirt all the time in the nicer weather. It’s from last year and this year’s versions are selling out but I found some similar options. Highly recommend for a super quick and easy pulled together look for spring and summer! Linking some similar red and white gingham tops too!

#LTKSeasonal

This comfy organic cotton poplin skirt from Quince is so versatile, I’ve worn it casually, for a wine tasting, and now for a professional event where I was speaking on a panel! It’s a crisp cotton and I love the navy, but it comes in a couple other colors too.
Also had to add a fun colorful bead necklace!

#LTKootd

I’m going to help you style this beautiful, classic white dress from Quince for spring! I love the full skirt and that it's fully lined. I’ve been wearing my denim chore jacket so much that I got another one in this canvas color.

I debated belt or no belt, went with belt to add definition! Definitely wanted to add some color and a different texture with my necklace… Tried a few options and ended up going with the BIG one for maximum impact. 😍

Honestly, you can't go wrong with shoe choice here… flats or something with a heel would also work, but I went with this gold lamé option for extra fun and I'm loving it.

I love Quince because they have organic cotton and other great materials all at direct to consumer prices. You can get 10% off your first order with my code INFG-26SUZANNAHSTANLEY10 ❤️ They have so many great classic pieces for spring! @onequince, #QuincePartner

I love this friend and was so happy I got to help her with her front living room, putting our skills and knowledge together… Good decor principles, plus how her family uses this room!

This really shows the power of cohesive style and colors, high quality materials like custom curtains and a wool rug, and styling with a mix of old and new.

This house was a major fixer upper, and we completely redid every surface in the kitchen. On the cheap, entirely ourselves except for the countertops. But the really amazing thing is that I still love it.

How?

I chose timeless fundamentals like white cabinets and a slate look floor. The white backsplash could’ve felt boring, but I‘ve added interest with things like vintage plates on the walls. I initially did industrial look wood shelves next to the sink, which then felt really dated so I replaced with some white ones with traditional corbels. I swapped the brass hardware for a more timeless polished nickel last year. I replaced the earthy modern block print café curtain with a high-quality off-white one last year too. And of course I’ve changed the styling.

But because I stuck with basics, I’ve been able to keep the foundation the same, and still feel so grateful for my simple, small, but beautiful kitchen!

Of course, I also have detailed blog posts on both the 2019 and 2025 updates to this kitchen you can find on my blog Room Reveals page!

Haven’t worn this sweater yet this year since it is definitely a spring/summer one, but it’s so sunny today! 100% organic cotton, and only $42! Cute oversized boyfriend fit. I sized down to an XS. Love it instead of a sweatshirt for a simple outfit!
