Having the new Wayfair store in Wilmette close to the house is slightly dangerous but oh so much fun. It’s two floors of home decor inspiration. With their Black Friday sale right around the corner (yes, it is that time of the year), I wanted to share the blog’s best-selling decor and furniture Black Friday Sneak Peek deals that have[...]
My neighbor and I were chatting about decor (of course). She moved here from the city about a year ago, and we got on the topic of throw blankets. She said, “It’s just me and my husband. What do I do with 12 blankets?” My response was, you need a stylish storage basket. That got me thinking about my throw storage—a rattan[...]
Yes, I know it’s a little early for holiday mantle decor, but Christmas trees and gingerbread houses are beginning to pop up on social media.

I thought I’d try a little experiment and warm up my all-white kitchen with this wood table from Ashley. Now, I love my kitchen even though I’ve heard a few interior designers say all-white kitchens are out. “They are too cold and sterile. Yadda, yadda, yadda.” A load of baloney if you ask me.

I’ve popped in a few times, so today I’m sharing an up close and personal look inside because this home decor mecca does not disappoint! If you’re planning a trip to the Chicagoland area or you liv[...]
If you're a student, you don't need me to tell you that back-to-school is right around the corner, which means it's dorm prep season! In my college days, we did not have functional storage furniture, bed risers, or Command Strips. Freshman year, my college furniture consisted of an old couch from the Salvation Army, if I[...]
The Wayfair sale of the summer is here, so I thought I'd share what I'm eyeing for outdoor furniture, living room decor, and more for Wayfair's Black Friday in July sale. You know I love a good deal, and this is the perfect time to buy the home items you’ve been looking for to upgrade your favorite space with up to 80% off and free shi[...]
I was sorting through boxes and stumbled across a stack of vintage gold — my old Sassy Magazines circa 1988 through the early 1990s. These date back to my rebellious teen era — the junior high and high school years. During this time, I shaved my head, wore a black leather motorcycle jacket, listened to Morrissey, and suddenly shifted[...]
