//via If there’s one thing that’s almost certain to be in every home, that’s a television. And often there are more than one. Since decorating around the TV is actually a pretty common (and important!) design dilemma that homeowners face, today I wanted to share a few ideas for decorating around your TV! //via Gallery […]

//via Summer is right around the corner, and with it will come weekend BBQs, evening bonfires, and afternoons at the pool. But just because you’ll be spending less time in your home doesn’t mean you have to completely forgo sprucing it up for the season! I love adding a little touch of whatever season it […]

After having our Ikea sofas for 1.5 and 2.5 years, I thought it was time to do a (very informal) review of them for all who are curious what we think and how well they’ve held up! We chose Ikea sofas due largely in part to all the great reviews I read on other home […]

//via I’m always keeping my eyes open for good (and affordable!) dining chairs. We currently have a mish-mash of chairs from thrift stores and Ikea around our dining table, and while it was definitely the most affordable option a couple years ago, I do yearn for the day when we have a bona-fide dining chair […]

I’m often asked what my favorite stores to shop for home goods are. So I thought I would share my top five stores to purchase home goods from, whether I’m looking for rugs or furniture, candles or photo frames. And keep in mind, I’m not sharing my top five stores for daydreaming or inspiration; these […]

They say that they have too much tupperware or that their dishes just aren’t display-worthy. While I totally feel ya’ on the tupperware (that’s what my drawers are for!), I am a firm […]

//via If April showers bring May flowers, then flower season is upon us, friends! And flower season means one of a few things will be happening: a) our husbands/fiances/boyfriends will be bringing home flowers to us b) we’ll treat ourselves to a bunch from Trader Joe’s or another local grocer c) we’ll be snipping flowers […]

Today I’m excited to share with you our upstairs living room design plan. When we moved into our house last September, the basement had a large finished room, complete with sparkly popcorn ceilings, wood paneling, and bare bulbs. Not exactly the most welcoming (or cute!) place to hang out. The past couple months we’ve been working […]

A couple weeks ago I shared some spring wreath inspiration and great resources to buy a beautiful spring wreath for under $50. Well, if you’re anything like me and like things to be real affordable, then today’s post is for you! I’m going to show you how to make a wreath for under $10! Now, I suppose for […]
