You guys, remember when I told you I was buying my childhood home? Thanks to Wayfair, today we're diving into what might be the most nostalgic spaces to redesign - my old bedroom and my sister's room! These small spaces will be where the kids crash during our weekend visits. Both rooms were slightly challenging because both kids can bri[...]
The cat is outta the bag, and the rumors are true — I'm purchasing my childhood home! If you read yesterday's post, you know it's a 3-bedroom split-level ranch home in rural Wisconsin. For the design, I will be leaning into the mid-century modern vibe. After hearing the news, Wayfair challenged me to find the best Mid-Century Mod[...]
I’m a sucker for a chair, but if you make that a showstopping statement chair that is sculptural with bold upholstery, it will make my heart sing. I’m constantly asked, “Where do you find funky furniture,” and “How do I decorate with statement pieces?” Today, I’m breaking it down with Wayfair to chat about the process of cr[...]
I get a lot of questions about the arched cabinets flanking my fireplace in the living room, and I understand why. These display cabinets have a classic yet unique design, and the glass doors are perfect for showing off my vintage decor collection. The bottom drawers have ample space for children’s toys, throw blankets,&[...]
I love to design a living room mood board, so when Ashley asked me to pull together a few affordable living room designs to help promote their Black Friday sale, I jumped at the chance. I wanted to challenge myself to give these living room designs an eclectic, modern aesthetic, but I also wanted the furniture pieces to be timeless so th[...]
Since Wayfair opened its store in Wilmette, I’ve been finding so many hidden gems I previously missed online. Last week, Wayfair asked me to round up my home’s best sellers for its Sneak Peek early drop deals. Now that all the Black Friday deals are live, I’m sharing more home decor, organizers, kitchen gadgets, holiday prep, and m[...]
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[...]
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. White cabinets and countertops are[...]
