I recently realized that I am obsessed with statement lighting. Real talk, I would rather shop for a chandelier than jewelry. The truth is, lighting (and hardware) is the jewelry of the home. The right lighting makes or breaks a room, and I made a few clutch choices that I think made it. Here are the 5 statement lighting pieces I love in my home:…

I have been a big fan of Justina Blakeney for years, so naturally when Target’s bohemian-leaning brand Opalhouse announced their collaboration with the designer’s brand Jungalow, I could not wait to see the goods. They do not disappoint. I ordered a few, and I am loving them in my home. Here are my favorite pieces from the Opalhouse X Jungalow collaboration:…
Today I am sharing a little update on the littlest room in the new house. The first time I laid eyes on it, I thought it had so much potential. I am now realizing that I should have taken more photographs of the before, but I am pretty sure I didn’t because I wanted to forget it (I am not even sure how to describe the paint color other that “dirt smear”). Here is my powder room before and after:…
This Wednesday Wishlist item is something I’ve been on the hunt for: a parsons style teak outdoor table and a matching teak dining bench. I had a wrought iron outdoor table I inherited from the previous dwellers of our Gramercy apartment, and that lasted many years save for some rust, but I felt it wasn’t comfortable and sold it on Craigslist when we moved to our first house. To replace it, I bought a trestle table and bench from World…
This is our first Christmas in our new home, and I had a lot of fun decorating it for the holidays. I will fully admit that I am not done, as some of my deliveries have been delayed. My oldest had been mentioning that he was concerned that Santa would not know our new address, so I involved him in the process and told him that decorating would help the big man find us. We mostly decorated our main living…
I’ve been decking my halls, and getting ready to share my holiday home tour this week. There are a few low budget items I keep going back to, and a few new ones I recently found that I need to share with you ASAP before they sell out before I even have the chance to shoot it tomorrow. Here are 5 budget holiday decor items I love:…
Serena & Lily, the queen of coastal cool home decor, is now giving us 20% off everything as part of their Friends and Family sale with code LOVEHOME through 10/29. Today I’m sharing all my favorite pieces I have and love along with photos of them in my home. I used the discount to order these chairs for my dining room, which is currently a work in progress. Here are my picks for the best of Serena & Lily Friends…
In years past, I did a little fall decor update, but went light on Halloween house decorating. Since they’re getting older, my kids are really into Halloween, and because I am doing my best to make this year extra special for them, I surprised them with some spooky decorating while they were out of the house (except for Rocky, who was my little assistant). They love it, and I had a lot of fun doing it. Hope you enjoy my…
Today I’m sharing a little update to our sons’ Jack and Jill bathroom, which my two boys share. The renovation work was minimal, and I think it goes to show that sometimes a little update is all that is needed to transform a space. I always ask my kids input on how they want their rooms to look, and Bear said he wanted a “blue surf room” so I ran with that theme for the bathroom as well since it…
I’m so excited to share my moody blue grey bar pantry with you today. I don’t feel like it’s quite done because I am on the hunt for the perfect odd sized vintage rug (something like this). I love the contrast of the pink that is in there now, but it is too small for the floor space so it’s a placeholder for now. The existing cabinetry was beautiful and in great shape, but needed a paint job and some…
