Making and Styling Your Bed, Made Simple
When we moved into our new home, one of the most unexpectedly overwhelming tasks was styling the beds. Suddenly, I had more bedrooms than I was used to, which meant more bedding to buy, more styles to choose from, and honestly… way more decisions than I expected. I know that probably sounds dramatic. I mean, I’ve been making my bed since I was a kid. But choosing bedding as an adult felt completely different. Suddenly I was trying to figure out: It felt surprisingly intimidating at first. But over the last couple of years, especially while decorating our home and setting up our Airbnbs, I’ve learned that styling a beautiful…

Simple Faux Greenery Decor Ideas to Refresh Your Home for Spring
With winter fading (finally!) and spring approaching, I’m always looking for simple ways to bring a little life and color indoors. I’ve found that one of the easiest ways to refresh your home for a new season is by swapping out or adding new faux greenery. I used to just swap out my decor and greenery for the fall an holiday seasons, but recently, I’ve enjoyed switching things up for spring as well. I would describe my home decor style as modern organic, so I use mostly neutral colors in my home. Adding in greenery is a great way to quickly and easily add a pop of color to break…

Easy Bathroom Upgrades to Make Your Space Feel Luxurious
Last year, I was so focused on upgrading our bedding and our living room. I’m happy with how the bedrooms and our main living space is turning out, but I realized I totally neglected the bathrooms! Nothing is wrong with them per se, but they’re builder-grade and frankly, just plain boring. As I begin to tackle the bathrooms, I’ve been thinking a lot about the what changes I can realistically make. I’d like to elevate the bathrooms and make them feel luxurious and inviting, but of course, I want to do this on a budget! I’ve come up with several affordable ways to instantly elevate my bathrooms.

Easy Hallway Upgrade: Floating Picture Ledge Shelves
When we moved into our home, I found our upstairs hallway to be so plain! Stark white walls, an open staircase, and absolutely nothing to give the space any personality. I knew it needed something, but it took me awhile to figure out the perfect solution! After getting married this year (read: tons of new photos!), I finally had the perfect reason to refresh this space. Instead of doing another full gallery wall like I did downstairs—with the rechargeable picture lights I love so much—I wanted something cleaner, minimal, and easy to update over time. That’s when I found these Floating Picture Ledge Shelves—the perfect simple solution that totally transformed…

How to Style Large Ceramic Vases for Elegant Fall Decor
When I think of fall decor, I picture cozy textures, soft neutrals, and those little seasonal touches that make a home feel warm and inviting. I used to be someone who proudly displayed the traditional orange pumpkins, colorful fall leaf garlands, and “Happy Fall Y’all” signs. More recently, however, I’ve moved away from this decor toward something more elegant—I’m talking earth tones, mixed textures, and dark, moody pieces. What’s even better is if you can find pieces that are timeless, specifically, if they transition beautifully from one season to the next. One of my favorite ways to do this? Large ceramic vases filled with faux stems or greenery. They add…

Best Fall Candles on Amazon for a Cozy, Inviting Home
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE summertime. I am someone that’s always cold, so I absolutely love enjoying the summer sun. But, I’m also a sucker for the fall season. As someone who grew up in the Midwest, I learned about all of the best fall activities at a young age. There’s nothing quite like picking your own apples at an apple orchard, getting homemade donuts and cider, and going on a hayride around a pumpkin patch. Now that I’m older, I appreciate fall in a different way. I really enjoy swapping out my decor to embrace the season. I have to say, there’s definitely something magical about the first…

Elevate Your Photo Gallery Wall with Picture Lights
I hemmed and hawed for months on how to best display our wedding photos. I wanted to include them in the living room in a way that felt intentional and elevated—not just frames on a wall. After searching for awhile, I realized I was gravitating towards the look of a gallery wall with large mat picture frames. I created a gallery wall with six of our favorite wedding portraits, but something still felt missing. The frames looked beautiful, but the wall didn’t have that wow factor I was envisioning. Enter: gallery wall lights. I found this 3-Pack of Picture Lights on Amazon and added them above our gallery wall. The…

How I Completed Our Living Room Look With The Right Roman Shades
When we first moved into our home, I had no idea that choosing window treatments would be such a process. I thought I’d just find something that fit the windows, hit “add to cart,” and move on. But as I started shopping, I realized that curtains and shades aren’t just functional—they completely change the feel of a space. After spending weeks researching fabrics, hardware, curtain lengths, and styles, I finally pulled the trigger on some beautiful linen curtains (more on those in this post). They added softness, elegance, and helped define the space. Still, something felt missing. That “missing piece” turned out to be the ARLO BLINDS Sheer Bamboo Roman…

The Exact Bedding I Use for a Cozy Look
I honestly didn’t realize how sad and outdated the bedding looked in our master bedroom until we moved into our new place. With the new decor, our old comforter looked flat and boring. It definitely did not provide the cozy, luxurious hotel-style feel I craved. But, I truly had no idea where to start when it came to elevating my bedding. I was overwhelmed by the color, texture, and pattern options. And, I didn’t even know the essential layers, let alone where to shop for them! Luckily, I’ve now learned, and I’m happy to share (check out my post Making and Styling Your Bed, Made Simple). But, trust me, it…

How to Choose Curtains for Your Living Room: Tips for First-Time Decorators
When we moved into our new home, I didn’t expect that picking out curtains would be so tricky. I figured I’d just measure the windows, click “add to cart,” and call it a day. But once I started diving into the options—lengths, fabrics, linings, hardware styles—I realized that there is SO much to think about. I honestly researched curtain ideas for weeks. Seriously! I really feel like curtains can make or break the look of a room. The good news? Once you know a few key tips, choosing the right living room curtains becomes a whole lot easier. In this post, I’m breaking down everything I learned (after lots of…
