Target Gifts Under $30 That Will *Definitely* Impress
This post is sponsored by Target It's the gift-givingest time of the year — and I have something to confess. Every year, I forget someone. It's true: In the holiday hustle, I have forgotten my sister's new partner or my neighbor or a cousin (who, in my defense, was not supposed to be in town). […]

Which Holiday Window Candles Are Right for You?
When it comes to decorating for Christmas, it doesn't feel like I've really "finished" the task until there are candles in each window. The glow at night is just the most classic, nostalgic holiday feeling. But now there are so many kinds of window candles to choose from—and some are better for certain situations than […]

The Best Of September 2024
Can you believe that September has already come and gone? This time of year is my absolute favorite and we've been busy finishing up house projects (the mudroom is officially checked off the 2024 project list!) and launching two new product lines! It was such a surreal moment to see our wallpaper designs on the shelves at Lowes […]

The Top 12 Fall Scents for Your Pura Smart Diffuser - 2024
Everyone gets excited to decorate for fall (same!) but an often overlooked element of decorating is how a home smells. Scent is such a powerful tool in making your home feel warm, welcoming, and seasonal. When I think about fall scents I definitely want some spicy or woodsy notes in there like cardamom, amber and […]

A Change in the Dining Room: Our New Dining Chairs
For the past few years we've had a set of vintage chairs in our dining room and I really do love them... at least I love how they look. But to be honest, they are really uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. We love to host dinner parties and game nights and […]

The Lady Jacket: Fall 2024's It Girl Top
The lady jacket isn't exactly a new concept (think Jackie O.) but it's certainly having a moment this fall! Lady jackets come in all different styles (see below!) but typically they have a crew neckline, a slightly cropped length, and focal point buttons. Some are heavier like an actual jacket and some are more lighter-weight […]

Fall Boots (And My Hot Take on Skinny Jeans)
There are two types of boots I'm seeing everywhere this season that create two very different silhouettes for your favorite outfits. One is a very slender boot, often with a pointed toe. Because jeans are getting wider (hello to my new favorite pair), it's great to have a slim boot that you can zip up […]

Halloween Decor Ideas for a Traditional, Spooky Vibe
I tend to go for a traditional, elegant, and spooky approach to Halloween decor rather than a cutesy vibe. I want it to feel like my house is really abandoned!! Imagine if my home had been left untouched for 150 years...that's the look I'm going for. We're talking cobwebs, spiders, bats, ugly pumpkins with warts, […]

The Best Fall Candles in 2024
Every year, I love to revisit my favorite fall candles—I keep a lot in storage if we haven't burned through them yet. Bringing out those tried-and-true candles always evokes scent memories. Like a game night we had with some dear friends last year. Or the backdrop to an amazing fall dinner that Chris whipped up […]

The Best of August 2024
August is my unofficial start of autumn — I don't believe in separating seasons, or holidays, for that matter. I prefer to squeeze every ounce of joy I feel from the day, whether that is a sunny beach day (which is how we started the month!) or a cool early fall walk with Cricket and […]

My Favorite Fall Stems This Year
I love fall faux stems. It's funny how it feels a lot more acceptable for stems to be faux in the fall! I guess in the summer you can grow your flowers and cut things from the yard or buy some at the market. In the fall — at least in North Carolina — we’re […]

A Sectional Couch for Every Budget
There is something quintessentially cozy about having a sectional. I remember shopping for furniture for Chris and my very first apartment together. We went to a local furniture store, and there was a U-shaped sectional right in the front. We’re both tall, and it was the kind that had a bench seat and then a […]

White Floral Chandeliers at Every Price Point
There's been steady progress on updating Greta's room: we've painted the trim, installed the wallpaper, and added a new rug. At first, we painted the ceiling the same color as the trim, but it made the room feel too dark. So we pivoted and painted the ceiling back to a creamy white — it immediately […]

The Pillow That Changed My Sleep
