Same room. A completely different season of life. Swipe for the before ✨

When we bought this house it was a boring 1990s ranch. But the bones were good, and it had some land. I told my husband I wanted it to feel like a modern European cottage meets Nancy Meyers style. I couldn’t love it more 🥹

this little corner ended up being one of my favorite spaces in the house 🤍

the round rug made such a difference — it warmed everything up and made it feel finished without feeling too formal. something about having a rug that actually fits the shape of the space just works

today is the last day of the Amazon Spring Sale ✨ so if you’ve been eyeing a new rug, now’s the time

this one is from the @loloirugs × @chrislovesjulia collection: Rosemarie (ROE-01 Sage/Blush) – 7’9” round

#cljxloloi #loloirugs #rug #diningroominspo #cottagecore

Our patio door was so boring before… completely see-through, zero privacy, and honestly just felt unfinished.

I kept wishing we could swap it for a vintage door, but that just wasn’t in the budget.

So I tried this window film from @artscape_design_studio (we used the Victoria pattern) and I’m still not over how good it looks.

It gives that leaded glass look, adds privacy, and still lets all the light in (just without the blinding glare)… and the craziest part is you can actually feel the texture of the design. It looks so luxe.

It was also way easier than I expected… I did the whole thing in about 10 minutes.

If you’ve been wanting more privacy but don’t want to lose natural light, this is such a good option.

Walmart toddler girl Dress Haul 🌸

Had to share this haul for my 3 year old girl. These Spring toddler dresses are so cute! Loving all the styles and prints and the fact that they are all priced at $15 🙌

Dearest reader…

The kitchen has undergone a most delightful transformation.

These soft linen Roman shades brought the most romantic light into the space and I honestly can’t stop staring at them. It feels like the cozy European cottage kitchen of my dreams. 🧺✨

These are the Bella Roman shades in Paper White from @neutralcurtains and they’re made with OEKO-TEX certified natural fabric (which I love with four kids running around).

I’ve always loved rugs that feel like they’ve been part of a home for years 🤍

This one instantly gave our living room that warm, vintage-inspired feel — the colors pull in just enough warmth without feeling busy, and somehow it makes the whole space feel cozier the second you walk in.

It’s the @loloirugs Margot Ocean/Spice Area Rug with CloudPile, and I genuinely can’t get over how soft it is. Like… sink-your-feet-in soft. No shedding and kid-and-pet friendly 🤌

It’s part of the President’s Day sale right now — I linked it in my LTK 🤍

The before and after I have been dreaming about since we first bought our house.

This wall used to be the most awkward, forgotten spot in our living room… the only focal point was an old green shade that never felt like it belonged.

When we remodeled, I designed this little library wall and reading nook (still dreaming of adding a ladder one day and fully living out my Belle dreams 🥀📚). We added a @rollishades motorized Tulum Soft Fold shade in the color Salt with a light-filtering thermal lining so the window would feel just as custom and intentional as the built-ins.

The filtered light and one-touch control feel a little magical. Truly my dream place to sit and read a book. ✨

Some seasons of motherhood don’t leave a lot of room for grand gestures.
And honestly, we don’t need them.

Sometimes it’s the small things that make us feel seen—fresh flowers on the counter, a quiet moment in the kitchen, a reminder that someone thought about you.

These @rosaholics roses made everyday life feel a little more special.
And that feeling? It lingers.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be overcomplicated.
Just thoughtful. 🤍

I found the world’s coziest rug ☁️
And now this little corner of our bedroom finally makes sense.

We removed the large rug from under our bed but still wanted something cozy here—and this six-pelt sheepskin rug from @overlandsheepskin completely transformed the space.

It’s unbelievably soft, looks so luxe, and has become our favorite spot to sit in the mornings while getting dressed.
My husband said it feels “too nice for us,” which honestly feels like the highest compliment 😂

This window wall finally feels complete. 🤍

We went with the Lesley Custom Linen No-Drill Roman Shades in Ivory from @curtarra_curtains — inside mount, cordless, with a white cotton lining. We used four panels across our great room and the fit is so clean.

No drilling, no cords, and they let in the prettiest filtered light while still giving privacy. I installed all four myself in under 15 minutes, which honestly still surprises me.

One of those upgrades that instantly elevates the whole space.

The kitchen stools of my dreams ☁️

I stared at so many options before finally choosing these Canyon Counter Stools from @denver_modern — and now that they’re here, I’m obsessed. 🤌

They come in a bunch of combinations (leather or velvet, walnut or oak). We went with the white oak frame and sunflower leather…and they’re even prettier in person. The leather is this soft, velvety finish that feels so luxe but still works for everyday life.

They completely changed the look of our kitchen — everything just feels more finished now. Clean, warm, and finally pulled together.

#ad Skincare I actually have time for 🤍

In this season of never-ending to-do lists (and four kids needing me 24/7), I’ve been reaching for products that work — no 12-step routine needed 🙃

The SunsolveMD LipidRestore Volumize + Restore SPF 40 has been so good for my winter skin. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and gives me SPF protection in one easy step.

And for my forever dry lips this time of year, I love the LipidRestore Volumize + Condition Lips SPF 40. It’s smoothing and nourishing but not sticky, which is key when I’m chasing toddlers or sipping cold coffee 😂

Quick, effective, and clean—this is skincare that fits real life.

We found so many fun picks @target this year, but our big ticket favorite has to be the Nintendo Switch 2 🎮 We grabbed Mario Kart World with it, and it’s already become a family favorite. Endless fun for everyone!

The boys can’t get enough of the Beyblade X Drop Attack Battle Set (so much laughter with this one 🌀), and of course we had to add in the LEGO City Formula 1 Race Cars 🏎️—because building and racing is always a win here.
