a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
Did you know that you can make your own bottle brush trees? They’re an extremely popular look right now and I think they’ll continue to be. And guess how you make them? With a toilet brush! From the Dollar Store. I’m not joking! Let me show you how cute these are.

One of my favorite weekends of the whole year is when my son and I put up our Christmas tree in the living room. We put on a festive record, pull out the decor, and get started. The living room took a full day of decorating. This year I went for the theme rainbow village. It combines my love of vibrant hues and house motifs and makes for a colorful living room Christmas decor.
Side note, I put my holiday decorations up a few weeks ago. My dad died recently and it was actually pretty comforting to have my house super cozy and full of lights. I was so glad I took the time to make my living room magical.
Earlier this year I worked with eBay on my Kitchen renovation and I was thrilled to work with them on this room too. I frequently shop on eBay (as in I buy things multiple times a week from their site) so when they let me pick out my dream Christmas decorations, I was so excited! Ready to see?!

This year, decorating my dining room for the holidays is really special because we redid our kitchen this year, so I have a big table to use instead of the small one! I decided to set up a Christmas village in the center and set the table with some vintage pink and green tree plates. Want to see some of the festive touches on my holiday dining table?!
One of the coolest thing about the Cricut Joy is the ability to make cards SUPER easy. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to make a really beautiful card. There’s tons of designs on Cricut’s Design Space so you can find something for any occasion and then customize it with the design and color of the card. I’m excited to show how to make cards on Cricut Joy- it’s simple and fun!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And guess what? I’ve actually started shopping early. I usually start on Black Friday, but with slow shipping times and messed up supply chains, I’m jumping in early. And it feels good! I thought I’d pull together a home gift guide in case you have a homebody, a new homeowner, or a home decor lover in you life.

In June of 2021 I completed my kitchen renovation and selected the BESPOKE refrigerator as one of the first elements that I designed the whole room around. Since I’ve had it for a few months, I thought I’d write a Samsung BESPOKE fridge review in case anyone else is considering this appliance. I’ll go over features, pros and cons, and the price.
I think we’ve all seen the beautiful hotel Viceroy that Kelly Wearstler designed. Outside, she created a statement wall with plates hung on the wall. The tricky part about putting plates outside is that wind can knock them off of the nail. And glue can fail over time. I wanted to share how to hang plates outside in case you want to get this look too.
When we first moved into our house in 2018, none of the closets had any doors- why?! It was an annoying issue. We’ve slowly been fixing that. For my son’s room, I added cheap drapes a few years ago and it looked pretty sad. So we decided to give him real closet doors! Here’s how to install bifold doors.
For months I’ve been dreaming of having a quilt coat. I check thrift shops and antique stores for quilts that I could use to make a trendy patchwork jacket. Then my sister found me a $5 estate sale quilt and brought it home for me! Last week I decided it was time to make it over into a coat and thought I’d show how to sew a quilt coat!

You might have seen quilt coats on Instagram. They’re part of the cottage core look that is taking over interiors and fashion trends right now. And I mean, what’s not to love? It’s vintage meets modern for the coziest outerwear ever! The patchwork look is interesting while being sentimental. I linked to some more affordable options above is you want to buy one.
Note, I have a second tutorial on making a quilt coat if you like this ruffled collar pattern more!
I’m a big fan of thrifting and taking high quality items that have been pre-loved and giving them a new home. I’ve never gotten new upholstery on an older piece of furniture. I thought I’d try it out so I could share the process, cost, timeline, and lots of other details. So if you’re wondering about the chair reupholstery process and price, this post is for you!
