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!

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

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.

What area of your home feels close, but not quite there??

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!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife

This lamp is vintage Ethan Allen, and I found it on Facebook a bit of a drive away, but I knew it would be cooler than the plain one I have here before! I did some research and found some similar options I’ve linked for you!

#LTKHome

I made this DIY pattern Roman shade for Lucy back in 2020, before we had all the options for colors and patterns of affordable custom Roman shades. My DIY looked OK from afar, but was getting yucky and didn’t open that well anymore.

She requested pink… @Twopagescurtains now has their Belgian linen Roman shades with a trim border option. 😍 We chose this adorable delicate light pink pattern. My code SUZANNAHSTANLEY gets you 25% off!

I did this one as outside mount since this window hinges out from the top; plus I like how outside mount doesn’t block much of the window when fully opened. Send this post to someone who’s been struggling with their window coverings!

Planning some other changes in here, stay tuned!

Exciting shopping trip 💍
Been wearing this denim barn jacket a lot, so versatile! Linking several great options, all under $60!

I set the bar high with this lunch on Saturday, and I think it might have to be a tradition every few weeks! We had nothing to celebrate other than some sunshine outside, pretty new table linens, and felt like quiche. I want to create more of these memories with my family and there’s no reason to wait for a bigger event or reason. ❤️🙏

#LTKSeasonal #LTKKids #LTKHome

Every single morning when I open these curtains, I feel grateful for this pretty (but very small) kitchen, my neighborhood, my family I get to share this house with. It’s all one in the same sometimes. Gratitude makes such a difference. 🙏❤️

#LTKHome #LTKmorningroutine

I’m so grateful to live in the neighborhood I grew up in, and I walked past this house a million times before we found out we might be able to buy it and make it ours. My mom took me here once when I was a kid, some neighborhood organization thing, and I remember sitting in this breakfast nook and appreciating the built-ins.😂🤓 And now I get to store my vases and cookbooks and pretty cocktail glasses here.

(What I didn’t realize back then was that the glass doors were not original…! I’m guessing someone replaced them in the 80s and did the best they could, but I just try not to look at them too closely. Still so cute!)

Hosting beautiful parties inside and outside is one of my life goals but it’s taken me a few decades to build the muscle. Turns out all you need is some beautiful table setting options, colorful fresh food, and children to bring the joyful energy ✨.

I’m loving these fun fish plates and this cheerful green linen ruffled tablecloth, and beautiful embroidered napkins, from @greenrow. Also paired with their chargers and butter dish, plus some vintage pieces from my collection. @greenrow’s products are all sustainably sourced and vintage-inspired so they combine so well with the thrifted and sentimental pieces I like to mix in too.

We called this “fancy lunch” and the kids loved it 💕

#LTKHome #LTKfoodie #LTKSeasonal

Loving the denim, chore jacket! Super comfy, and I even dressed it up for work today and felt polished. Linking several affordable options.

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert

I've been helping my friend update her home, but we weren't sure how to solve the slatted blinds problem in this breakfast area. Enter these lovely Roman shades from Neutral Curtains. They are double on one headrail and they easily replaced the slatted blinds on the doors. We also changed the light fixture and added a nice table and chair set… but we had to start with function first, and these blinds needed to block the sunlight and add privacy. We chose a lined Roman shade with an edge binding. Such a difference and so simple!

These jeans (I have in 4 colors) are 50% off and honestly better than some $185 ones I’ve tried on. Loved this classic outfit on this almost spring day!

#LTKSaleAlert

I am amazed at how much we were able to transform my friend's breakfast area with this one change! We started with a new table and chair set… these are from Costway and are super affordable and still solid wood and sturdy quality. I absolutely love the chair with this classic rattan caning, and this lovely soft wood color. Plus I always love mixing the table color with the chairs.

We also changed the light fixture and Roman shades instead of the slatted blinds on the door. What a big change we made and still so simple and affordable! Linking everything in my LTK and my bio.

#LTKHome

This tablecloth and napkin set was made for spring! The green floral/leaves were perfect for St. Patrick’s Day but anytime the next few months too. Linking all of our silverware and dinnerware too!

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife

I never really considered painting it cause it’s sooo much work, and I couldn’t commit to that big of a change to an old house. But it’s not my favorite wood color and I never really loved it. But the other day I was daydreaming about decorating a new house and I felt a little sad to think of not having the original wood trim anchoring things. I even think it works well with some dark antique wood pieces, nothing is too overpowering or dusty old lady. Here’s to blooming where you’re planted, I guess??

#LTKHome

Coved ceilings and one of only two walls in the kitchen? It had to stay. Despite the open floor plan trends. Plus, we can close the doors when Micah smoke up the kitchen cooking steak. Here’s to not messing with old houses sometimes 🫠🙏

#LTKHome

Springy colors but make it a sweater… win win!! Love this striped 100% cotton cardigan. Only $32!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife

Otto’s room had almost no storage, so we just kept stuff sort of pushed against the walls on the floor. 🤦‍♀️ Until I had an idea. We also didn't use his closet at all, but I found a really simple $129 closet system and my friend's husband helped install it 🙏❤️. He custom fit it into this kind of funky old closet, even working around the original angled shoe shelf (we have them in almost all our closets). We didn’t need the top part of the shelf unit, or the other bars that it came with, but we even got an extra bar out of it that I’ve been hanging Lucy‘s summer dresses on.

He’s a 7-year-old boy so he doesn’t have any clothes that need to go in the closet, but now we have room for all his books and toys that we totally didn't before. So simple and gave us so much storage!

About three months into my year of decorating for every minor holiday, and I’d say it’s going well! I love having ribbons on every lamp for the season. Found this perfect 1.5” wide mini gingham ribbon that comes in so many pretty colors… I might need more for spring!

#LTKSpringSale #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I had a corkboard in my room above my desk for years and lovingly added photos, art, keepsakes, movie, and concert tickets… I wanted to create some special places for my kids to put whatever they want up too!

Honestly, my overthinking self took forever to do this because I wanted a real wood frame and the ones I originally ordered from Amazon never came… So I had to compromise with these, but same-day pick up is pretty appealing! These are 24 x 36 which is pretty big.

I have a slightly smaller wood frame one above my desk in my current office, too!

#LTKHome #LTKKids #LTKmomlife

My friend and I totally transformed her living room with so many amazing changes, but one that we debated about forever was the chairs. She tried just one, but decided we really needed a pair, but that’s expensive (and/or only available in beige)… We found this beautiful light blue woven texture armchair that’s an amazing price. It swivels, rocks, and looks so elegant!

Full disclosure, the seat cushion is not as soft and comfy as a down wrapped one would be, but again… The price is right. Plus, her kids love swiveling in these!

Linking everything in LTK and in my blog post about this room transformation!

You guys always love a good swap… how about 4?! I’ve been helping my friend with her living room and we found these lovely upgrades from @zgallerie to take it up a notch. These lamps are HEAVY and solid, I love the natural materials of these and the tray, and the frames are classic but also catch the light so nicely. And those stems… statement! My friend likes light and calm and feminine… think we did it, right?!

I have loved white bedding since I first started decorating my bedrooms and it just can do no wrong! The trendy patterns come and go and honestly the reason isn’t that they’re better—it’s that the brands want you to keep shopping. I’ve loved my white linen sheets for years now and I keep an extra pair and different seasons of duvets and quilts (all white). It’s not boring cause it’s so pretty. Have you tried all white bedding?!
P.S. I use oxyclean for whites to keep it from yellowing or greying!

#LTKHome

Love these cheerful new bikinis! The nautical cases are ridiculously cute, and I can’t resist gingham. On sale!

I took my regular size small in the tops (I am a 34B), did a medium in the red bottoms, and a small and the blue bottoms.

I came across some photos of my first plate walls on my blog the other day… They are seriously mortifying. 😆 I was going to include them in this reel but I’m too embarrassed. 🙈 Maybe I’ll share them in stories today. Point is, I’ve tried a lot of different methods… These hidden plate hangers are not only super solid and easy to use, but they hold the plates just the way you hang them! Linking them and these affordable hand-painted cabbage plates I’m obsessed with in LTK!

Absolutely love this incredible quality linen bedding from Quince! I’m a white bedding lover, and linen is so soft and comfortable. Quince has designer quality at very friendly prices because of their unique sourcing and inventory methods.

I have tried multiple robot vacuums in my day, and they’re never quite as good as I’d hoped. That’s why I’m so excited about the new MOVA P10 Pro Ultra Gen2 Robot Vacuum.

This one has been so much smoother and better than I could've imagined! It handles crumbs, pet hair, and all the shedding from my natural wool and jute rugs without me having to rescue it or re-run it three times. If you have kids, pets, or people with dirty shoes coming through your house, you know how big that is. It has 26,000 Pa powerful suction and 12N downward force, both way stronger than my last vacuum.

I love that it’s smart enough to navigate my house easily, powerful enough to actually pick up things the others have missed, and it's even quiet enough that I can run it while we’re home!

It vacuums, it mops, and it takes one more thing off my mental load... and it has the latest MaxiReach technology for corner and edge cleaning so it's extra thorough. It also cleans itself, with a 212 degree hot mop wash & 1-hour Eco-Dry, always ready for next use.

If you’ve tried robot vacuums before and felt disappointed, especially in a lived-in home with rugs, kids, and pets, this one might finally change your mind.

My bedroom definitely needed a little spring refresh! I'm starting with this lovely fresh white linen bedding from Quince. I love linen sheets and their fluffy, lightweight Dream Quilt is the perfect weight for spring.

Next I swapped the vintage mirrors I've had here for some floral art and I took out these brass vintage lamps and tried these white funny floral ones that I actually love 😆, swapped some spring accessories… and here we have it, our bedroom that's updated for the slightly warmer days that we've been having. 🤞

Plus I love white linen bedding and this is so comfy and perfect for any season! Linen sheets are seriously amazing… Have you tried them yet?! You can get 10% off your first @onequince order with my code INFG-26SUZANNAHSTANLEY10 #quincepartner

I searched and searched for wide, non-cheesy gingham ribbon in a cute green… this one is perfect! Comes in several cute colors and js a great price for 25 yards! Bows on everything. No lamp is safe. Perfect for spring, St. Patrick’s Day, even into Easter!

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

In 2025 I took down at least three gallery walls 🙈. But that’s not to say groupings of things on walls aren’t good… I think we can just be more creative and find unique combinations—now that you can buy vintage-inspired art and frames in sets at the big box anyway. Let’s think outside that!

I’m obsessed with these cabbage plates a bunch of you voted no to. I love them in my dining room with the other greens and the grasscloth-ey wallpaper! Plus they are so affordable for a hand painted veggie plate! Linking in LTK and my story highlights.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

I’m only half kidding. I’ve found more and more as I’ve been a happier person lately… doing small, unnecessary, slightly whimsical things change the energy of my home and therefore me and my family!

Nothing fancy, just a $13 garland and about 30 seconds of work… now when I see it I’m reminded that I can have fun and joy in my basic everyday moments.

Linking this cute one in LTK!
