Friday Focus: October 14

October 14, 2022

This week was all about art! It’s no secret that I love sourcing and collecting beautiful, meaningful art for myself and others so I shared my best tips on choosing & styling artwork like a designer, plus a Reel with practical rules to follow when hanging your art or frames. Both are linked below!

How to Choose and Style Artwork Like a Designer


lately

Last weekend the weather was amazing and the giant spiders came out. These elicit a lot of “looks like you have an infestation problem!” comments from passerby’s, but the kids love them and they’re an easy + tasteful way to decorate for October. A little bit of Halloween goes a long way in my book!

Shop Oversized Halloween Spiders

I’ve slowed collected a few vintage items for the shop and they’ll be available to purchase Monday, October 17! Each item has been hand selected by me and is one of a kind. If you’ve ever asked me where I find vintage items or where to buy one for yourself, now is your chance. It’s a limited product drop so be sure not to miss out. Email subscribers are the first to know when new items hit the shop — sign up a the bottom of the shop page:

holiday planning

Admittedly I’ve been thinking of Christmas for weeks now. I get so excited every time the holiday season rolls around and love to plan out all of my decorations in advance, so when the time is right I can deck the halls all at once. Another thing I usually order about this time are my wrapping supplies — I’m a sucker for beautifully wrapped gifts. I always hunt for beautiful paper and an array of ribbon to make each gift feel extra special.

Another thing I’ve been into lately are more nostalgic items for the holidays and something I would love to get our family this year is a German pyramid. They are so beautiful and mesmerizing to watch. I know my kids would love having this lit during the days leading up to Christmas.


Happy Friday!

Come with me as I work on giving Cohen’s room a Come with me as I work on giving Cohen’s room a little refresh! He was in need of a nice, flat weave rug (because Legos) and I was really excited to get this Henley rug by @loloirugs x @joannagaines @magnolia from their latest collab. I have these rugs all over my house because I seriously love them and they wear so well! More to come on this little room of his.

I had found this rattan pedestal planter at @homeg I had found this rattan pedestal planter at @homegoods a few weeks ago and didn’t buy it, but I just had to go back for it. I think it will live here in our dining room for now!

Uncover the back patio with me! After days of rain Uncover the back patio with me! After days of rain it’s time to let the furniture breathe a bit and open everything up to the sun. With part of our patio being pea gravel, the easiest way to get loose stones back where they belong is with our leaf blower - we recently topped it off with more gravel so it’s looking extra plush lately. You will find me here tonight pretending that it’s already the weekend 🥂

A moment for my latest @facebook marketplace find A moment for my latest @facebook marketplace find 🫶 this wrought iron chaise for $50 + new cushion from @walmart is going to my mvp this summer. I rearranged the back patio a bit and I’m loving how it feels. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t take big bucks or an overhaul for something to feel fresh again!
