LATELY

We had our first Decor Swap last weekend and it was so fun! There was a small group of us and everyone went home with a few new-to-them items and we were able to make new friends as well. The cookies (provided by @breaking_bread_co) and coffee (by @revivecoffee.co) were amazing and I’m still thinking of that snickerdoodle paired with my pumpkin spice latte. I had a lot of feedback asking when the next swap will be, so stay tuned!


We’re seeing lots of great faux pumpkin options popping up recently so I wanted to try ordering a bunch from one retailer, and Michael’s had a great selection at the right price. Overall I think they may fool you from a distance – but just like flowers – there’s nothing quite like the real thing. I think I’m going to be a real-pumpkin girl at least for one more year!

Our dining room rug arrived his week and I’m in love! It makes the room feel much more intentional and I love the extra layer it adds. It had me switching up dining chair options – which, we haven’t had a full set of for at least a year (oops). I have had such a hard time finding chairs I love so I’ve rotated quite a few in and out. I do know that I love the black cane and wishbone chairs and am trying to decide which to go with. I really think either one would work great so I may let the lead times do the deciding!

IN MY SHOPPING CART

T.J. Maxx online is one my favorite places to shop for high end clothing at a great price. I particularly love shopping their shoes and recently checked out their jewelry selection and was in love with all of the simple gold jewelry they have in stock. I linked a few below that are either solid gold or gold plated — and you can’t beat the price!


Until next week —

XO,

Lauren

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.

Put those cutie Polaroids on display! You don’t Put those cutie Polaroids on display! You don’t need a fancy frame - just snag a few affordable place card holders. I’m using @mcgeeandco marble place card holder from a few seasons ago, but any holder will do!

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!
A moment for the sconces in our dining room 😮‍💨 the only lights I keep on all day, everyday. This was a project that didn’t take too much time and was 1000% worth it! The lights are from @etsy and so beautiful and affordable. Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop our dining room on my LTK 🫶
