layered bedside lighting

The thing I was most excited about this week was finding this vintage patterned sectional on Facebook Marketplace for $200. I just couldn’t pass it up! I immediately started dreaming of designing a room around it one day – can’t you just imagine it in a room with rich walls and layered patterns? Someday…


After living with open shelving in the kitchen for over a year, I’ve decided I will probably always have some kind of shelving – whether it be for dishes, cookbooks or special serving dishes – in my kitchen. I love easily reaching for plates or mugs when we need them and it definitely adds more personality and warmth than upper cabinets would.

I get asked often where we bought these shelves, and Ty actually made them; we needed a custom size and wanted to tie the brackets into the studs do that we knew could hold a good amount of weight. If you’re in the market for floating shelves, but don’t want to go fully custom, Shelfology is a great place to start:

I shared these little nightstands I ordered for our bedroom this week and you all loved them! They’re a pretty shape, come in a few different colors and are super affordable. Click the link to shop!

We’re slowing chipping away at our bathroom renovationvfor the One Room Challenge, and this week I worked on choosing paint colors for the vanity and trim. I’m still not 100% sure which color I want to go with, but I’m leaning toward the far left – Benjamin Moore Gray Husky. You can read about this week’s progress and get info on our vanity sconces from yesterdays post!

ORC Week 4 Update

Madewell is having their 30% off $200 sale right now. I like to buy my denim and statement jackets & shoes from there, so this sale is always a great one to shop for investment pieces. I’m wanting to try their perfect vintage jeans along with my go-to black skinnies, and always have my eye on their winter coats:


Happy Friday, friends!

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.

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 🥂

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!
