a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
One question I got a TON from my bathroom renovation was “where did you get that bath tray?” And guess what? I made it! It was so easy too- anyone can make one and I’ll show you how to below. I am convinced that every bath lover needs one. This tray elevates bath time- you have a place for a drink, a show, a book. It is heaven! [Read more…]
Well, hello! Last week I shared the reveal of my sister’s guest room. I am thrilled with how it came together and your response has meant the world to me!
There were a few things that I still wanted to share from the guest room, so let’s get started! [Read more…]
Hello! A few of my blogging friends got together to share our holiday decor with you! Welcome if you are visiting from Summer’s blog!
A few weeks ago, I put up my Christmas decorations in my living room. It took all day and I was tiiiiired after it was done. So I packed everything up and decided having one room decorated was good enough.
I think sometimes creativity takes time to build up. I’ve been itching for a fun project, and decided to use the leftover decor I have for the entry.
Thanks to Overstock for working with me on this post!
A few weeks ago I shared with you for my sister’s guest room. As a quick recap, Kate is my big sister and she lives nearby me with her adorable family. She has a new home with one empty room- I decided to give her a super fun gift for Christmas, a furnished room that is the perfect place for her lucky guests to relax!
Just so you guys can see how far we came, this was right after she moved in and this was the “extra box” room. [Read more…]
I’m the nosiest person and I love, LOVE when people break down how much a big project cost them to complete. Our bathroom (see the full reveal here) was pretty much a gut job (besides the tub). I thought it would be interesting to add up what everything cost. And let’s be honest, as I’m adding up these numbers for you, it’ll be the first time I see them too. [Read more…]
I love my living room, but there are definitely some problem areas. Take, for example, this area-

Over the past few months I have been slowly redoing my living room- buying items when I fell in love with them and slowly layering in pieces when it made sense. I thought I would be done at the beginning of November and that I’d share with you reveal photos then. But life happens.
I am finally done with the living room and wanted to share with you where we are at today with the Christmas decorations all up! P.s. keep reading to the bottom for a fun giveaway!
First off, I ordered a brass and marble end table and this is what arrived:
Its gorgeous! But I really wanted the grey marble that was shown in the photo on the website (the green looked terrible with the rest of my decor). The company didn’t want me to return it and refunded me fully, so I figured I’d make it work. [Read more…]
Hello! I have been busy over here refreshing our front porch and entry. These are areas that weren’t so bad, but with a few tweaks, I’m loving them more than ever. Outside, on our front porch, we have the cutest little stoop. We live in a condo and the back corner is all ours. It desperately needed one small update.
One of the glass panels broke on the exterior light. It wasn’t a big deal until a bird lived there all last spring. That sweet bird made a nest in there, pooped in there, and would fly out and scare you to death every time we came or left the house. The bird has long since left, but her mess remained:

Thanks Overstock for teaming up with me on this post!
As you guys know, a few months ago I was invited to tour Overstock’s headquarters and get to know their staff (here’s the recap in case you missed it). I absolutely fell in love with the whole team and the company.
And guess what? I’m doing another project with them that makes me SO happy. Why? Overstock asked me to give away a room. Um, yes please!
The first person that came to mind is my big sister Kate. She just moved into a new (to her) house that is perfect for her family. I’ll be sharing more details later in this post – but first, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without a gift guide!
Gifting season is here! I love the idea of giving items (or entire rooms!) that will warm up someone’s home in a major way! I pulled a few of my favorite items from Overstock that will be going in the room that I think will make the perfect gifts. Overstock shared my picks with those of 5 other amazing home bloggers here:
