It's no secret that the living room in my home has been a challenge to decorate. This awkward living room layout has frustrated me between the wall of sliding glass doors leading out to the patio, the French doors, and the fireplace. Yes, I can style it for photos, but it just feels off when you're standing in the space. If you want to l[...]
While walking around High Point Market scoping out the latest interior design trends, my friend Carrie declared that purple decor would be big in 2023, and boy was she right! All the shades of purple have started to trend hard - lilac decor, lavender, and even mauve! It's one of those 80s modern colors that is making a comeback. Below yo[...]
Over the weekend, I sold the black horseshoe lacquered linen coffee table from CB2 on Facebook Marketplace. It was a complete spur-of-the-moment design decision, and that means I need to whip up some modern living room decor ideas. Of course, I'm going to try to decorate on a budget. Here are a few virtual design mood boards that I'[...]
Remember when I said I had a sofa debacle? Well, it's fixed because a new brown leather couch just arrived, and I couldn't be happier. To refresh your memory, while The Boy and I moved the Interior Define sofa to storage, one of the back cushions flew out of the truck and was hit multiple times by semis and cars going 45 mph.

I have been scrolling the interwebs at night and saving fun things that have caught my eye, so here is a huge brain dump of what I'm loving now. Oh, bu[...]
I don't know about you, but my schedule seems to have suddenly kicked into high gear. It's back to school with a new routine...distance learning means making room for at-home office. However, I have still managed to find some beautiful distractions. Here's what has caught my eye and more interior design trends I'm loving. A few we[...]
Today I have a before and after furniture reveal that is mind-blowing. A while back, I wrote about a quest for the perfect TV watching sofa. When we first moved into the house, I had purchased a vintage sofa with the thought process — it was preowned, it already has dents and dings, and I won't be sad when my kids wreck it. That though[...]
I'm saying goodbye to the vintage leather couch and hello to comfortable modern sofas for the living room. Apparently, we live like savages and have completely ruined that old couch. A living room makeover is in order because there are now 2 gigantic holes in the center cushion where my daughter likes to dig in her Barbie heels, it's unco[...]
