Guys, it’s a big day. John finally fessed up to a design choice that he insisted we make in the beach house kitchen... which he now realizes was NOT the best idea. 🤦‍♂️ Thankfully it wasn’t too hard to undo 🙌 There’s also a polarizing decorating “trend” that literally can make people get rage-y, and it’s all on today’s podcast episode 85 ❤️ (head over to younghouselove.com or tell Alexa to play Young House Love Has A Podcast) http://liketk.it/2vgFT #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Some new Target designs I have my eye on (almost don’t want to share the ones I want to buy because I’m worried they might sell out - but the design bar is so high with these 🙌✨)

Every day I get asked about "John's favorite LED bulbs."💡 He's a true light bulb diva so he (and his "special eyes") tried a heckova lot of LEDs before landing on his ultimate favorites, which we now use all over our house AND the beach house. So we finally wrote a post full of all the details and links to the exact ones we use in every room (and outside). Just go to younghouselove.com for all the "illuminating" info 😂💡🙈 #BadPuns4Days #Lit http://liketk.it/2vgHI #liketkit @liketoknow.it

📢🙎‍♀️COME ON SPRING! SHOW YOURSELF! My fake ginkgo leaves are out and I’m GETTING DESPERATE! 🌸🌿☀️(sorry for all the shouting, I’m just really ready to not have frozen feet at the bus stop 😂❄️) http://liketk.it/2vgHC #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We all know that deflated feeling when you’ve lost your mojo for a major project or renovation😔 So how do you reignite that excitement you had for it in the first place? We’ve struggled with this at the beach house lately, so we’re sharing 5 tips for combating project fatigue on this week’s podcast episode 90, including Step 1: look at before pics to fully appreciate how much progress you’ve made (swipe to see where this bathroom was when we started 😱🙌🎉). Listen to the rest by going to younghouselove.com/podcast or asking Alexa or Google Home to play Young House Love Has A Podcast ❤️ http://liketk.it/2vgHw #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Birthday streamers are still going strong. Pretty sure we’ll keep them up at least through Easter. Or my birthday next year 😂🙌🕺 http://liketk.it/2vgHr #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Didn’t get to drive out to the beach house this weekend so I'm looking at pictures of it on my phone and putting my hand on the screen like that steamy car scene in Titanic 😂🙈 #DrawMeLikeOneOfYourFrenchGirls #YHLBeachHouse <— click that for more pics http://liketk.it/2vgHo #liketkit @liketoknow.it

💚This week we’re talking about involving your kids in the design of their rooms, and sharing some tips for keeping everyone happy in the process 🙌 You know, so the result is a room that they love (and that you also like to be in with them). We’re also talking about the paint colors that help a home sell for more money (and I put photos of my very favorite neutral ones in the show notes). It’s all on this week’s podcast episode 89, so ask Alexa or Google Home to play Young House Love Has A Podcast or go to younghouselove.com/podcast (where you can see those favorite neutral paint colors in multiple rooms 🎉❤️) http://liketk.it/2vgHg #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Bonus room was clean for a hot second so I took a picture 😂 We got this room back together a few days ago, but it was only three hours before it rained Shopkins and LEGOs in there again 🌧😂🙈 http://liketk.it/2vgH9 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

John & the kids surprised me by decorating the kitchen with streamers for my birthday and I don’t think I ever want to take them down 😂❤️🎉 #StreamersAreTheNewChevron http://liketk.it/2vgGZ #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The beach house is so simple. Hardly anything anywhere. And so much sun shining in. Makes me want to simplify our house SO HARD, because I’ve decided that less-stuff-lightness that you get in a hotel and a beach rental can be done at home too! Just gotta pare down all the things! #EvenPillows #AndCeramicAnimals 😂 http://liketk.it/2vgGB #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I’ve decided that Burger loves the beach house more than anyone else (probably because he gets to sleep while we work 😂). And speaking of work, that piece of plywood is going to be cut down and thickened up to become a concrete coffee table top... someday🤞#YHlBeachHouse #BurgerTheBeachBum http://liketk.it/2vgGe #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Pink house, we are comin’ for you tomorrow, with a car full of lumber and pillows and enthusiasm 👋🤣 (And thank you to everyone for the kind words about yesterday’s podcast, we loved getting personal ❤️ http://liketk.it/2vgG8 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Duvet covers? 🤔 Pillow shams? 🤔 Throw blankets? 🤔 It can get confusing. So this week we shared our go-to formula for a nice cozy bed (that doesn't take an hour to make) along with a few magazine secrets for how they get it to look so darn fluffy. Plus does Young House Love have a board game? Just tune into our podcast Episode 85 by telling Alexa to play Young House Love Has A Podcast or heading to younghouselove.com 😊❤️) http://liketk.it/2vgG0 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We’re headed back to the beach house, and nobody’s more excited to be reunited with a pillow than this guy 😂❤️ #YHLBeachDog http://liketk.it/2vgFN #liketkit @liketoknow.it

💖 Dear beach house pantry: although we are apart, you are always I my heart. Will you be my Valentine? 💖 (Sidenote: my entire family once unanimously voted me “weirdest child.” 🤣) #PantryLove #YHLBeachHouse http://liketk.it/2vgFC #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Didn’t get out to the beach house this weekend and like any weirdo who loves more than one house, I feel like I betrayed an inanimate object. Because that’s a normal thing to feel, right?! 😂👌🙈 #HouseLoveTriangle #YHLBeachHouse http://liketk.it/2vgFt #liketkit @liketoknow.it

My desk is basically just full of stuff made of stone and stuff that’s pink (ok, and a laptop) and I’m FEELING IT. 🌸😊💕 I shared a little “desk tour” on InstaStories (and simultaneously proved how quickly I get off track 😂🙈). http://liketk.it/2vgFh #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Didn’t get to sneak off to the beach house this weekend but we’re counting down the days until we can go back and finish the bunks. Here’s the little TV table we assembled last time we were there (and I finally got to re-stain the front door in the background of this pic 🙌🎉) #YHLBeachHouse #OldBricksAreMyLoveLanguage http://liketk.it/2uts6 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

“Don’t you worry about renters damaging your beach house?!” is a question we get a lot these days (along with “when is the beach house going to be open for bookings?!”). So we answered both of them on this week’s podcast episode 80. Plus, am I only one who can’t keep Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel straight?? 😂🙈 #YHLBeachHouse http://liketk.it/2utsn #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I changed the letter-board at the beach house and John walked in and said “oh, you went beachy.” 😂❤️ #ButAlsoIWorkedInFries http://liketk.it/2utse #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We’ve tried a ton of different paint brands over the years, and this week we learned if expensive high-end paint is really worth it, or are you better off sticking with the stuff at your local hardware store? (the answer surprised us! 🙀) I also shared how I’m fighting clutter and simplifying our surfaces while John battles social media FOMO. It’s all on this week’s podcast episode 81 ❤️ http://liketk.it/2uts1 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Some people say gallery walls are out. Maybe... but probably not. In fact I‘d contend that people have been hanging frame groupings for decades and they’re not going anywhere. So we shared a ton of details about how we created the frame gallery around our tv, including four different techniques for figuring out your arrangement, what frames to use, how to mix art, etc. Basically it’s ALLLL THE WORDS I ever wanted to write about frames & art 😂👌 Head over to younghouselove.com to read them all 😘❤️ http://liketk.it/2utru #liketkit @liketoknow.it

These floors. 💙 Easily one of our biggest labors of love here in this old pink house. The funny thing is with all the snow we’ve had here lately it’s fitting that they kinda look like snowflakes (in the summer all I see is blue flowers ❄️🌸 😂) #YHLBeachHouse http://liketk.it/2utrm #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Who has two thumbs and is back at the beach house for a weekend of pantry painting and building bunk beds?! This moi. 😂👌#LizLemonForever (P.S. To everyone DMing us to say we should make that game we InstaStoried, we hear you & we’d love to 😂🎉🎲🍔🔨🏡) #YHLBeachHouse http://liketk.it/2utrh #liketkit @liketoknow.it

“I have too much storage space” said no one ever 😂 So this week we’re sharing tips for maximizing the storage you have AND uncovering additional places to stash things 🙌 From ideas that take up zero floor space, to ways to steal square footage you might be overlooking, there just might be a lot more storage space in your place 🎉🙌❤️ Plus I’m sharing my new weapon against insomnia 💪 It’s all on this week’s podcast episode 79 (listen in for free by going to our website, hovering over the Podcast tab, and clicking the words “Getting Started” in the dropdown menu 😊) http://liketk.it/2utrc #liketkit @liketoknow.it
