a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
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!
My office is a little sad- especially the wall art. I’m on a budget so I was brainstorming how to make a big impact on a tiny budget. I decided to thrift some picture frames and give them a new life! This used picture frames makeover has a hint of rainbow and I’m so excited to show the process! It’s a zero to hero project over here.
Last year I sold my first physical handmade product. It went great, but I knew I could do better on the packaging. Isn’t there something magical about opening something that has been sent with love? When packaging is done in a way that is creative, professional, and reflects a brand, it adds value to the product. Plus, it’s a great way to make customers happy. Here’s some cute packaging ideas for small business.
I was feeling like the wall my TV is on was a little boring. I usually like gallery walls around a TV, but with the pictures on the stairs it was too much. Instead, I decided to go for trim, a library light, and painting the cabinet for a fun pop of color. I thought I’d give some tips for how to decorate around a TV while I show how I changed mine up.
We live in a 1905 house and when we moved in three years ago, I painted my son’s floors white. It is a pain to clean and looks pretty rough, so I thought I’d update the floors with vinyl plank flooring? Why- it’ll look beautiful, it’s easy to install, it cleans well, and is durable. While we redid the floors, I also updated the room too! Here’s the tutorial for the LVT flooring installation.
My bathroom is cute, but I thought it was missing some pattern. So to add personality to my rainbow bathroom, I choose to wallpaper the ceiling! I figured adding more color would be good, plus I wanted to try out this trend (a wallpaper ceiling is a big look right now). This is a project I did all on my own so I thought I’d share some tips on how to paper a ceiling by yourself.
