SIMPLE STORAGE IDEAS MADE CUTE

09/08/2022

I don’t have a pretty remodeled master bathroom yet. I’m not a fan of random things on the counter but very limited storage space in the master bath doesn’t give me much choice. My motto is do your best to love what you have even if it’s not perfect. To keep things contained and organized in my not perfect bathroom, I grabbed a random basket from storage to hold all my “getting ready” necessities. Keeping vitamins on the counter is a must so I remember to take them each day – old lady probs. The bright colored bottle gave me ugly clutter anxiety looking at it each morning. I was browsing the not-dollar spot at Target and came across these glass jars. Bing! A lightbulb went off in my head. That would be the perfect storage solution for the vitamins. The unfinished lid didn’t do it for me but...

COZYING UP THE ROOM WITH CURTAINS

08/30/2022

Living in a 1970s brick ranch house, there isn’t much natural light to be had. The front room/dining room gets the most light in the house which isn’t much. When we remodeled to open up the dining room/sitting room/entryway into one long room, I didn’t want to do anything to block the light. These windows are the only place I can keep houseplants and I didn’t want to cover them up in any way. We lived for several years with the bare windows and I still love them as is. But I always felt the long room needed a bit more coziness. Introducing the new curtains. They are a thin, flowy linen material that don’t add heaviness or darkness which is what I wanted to avoid. The taupe/beighe color against the white walls (with the awful blue tint that I can’t wait to change) warms up the space a...

FALL / HALLOWEEN DECOR FINDS

08/22/2022

I know it’s still hot outside and not quite September yet. Trust me, I am the last one to wish summer away! But bear with me while I share some fall / Halloween decor finds. I only do this early because things are already starting to sell out. So if you’re in the market for new fall decor, you might want to jump on it soon. I promise, I will not be putting any fall out around the house until closer to the end of September/first of October. Until then I’ll be basking in the warm summer sun – with sunscreen, of course. Whether you prefer classic fall or full creepy, there are so many great options for both. But don’t wait too long to shop. Everything goes fast these days. Links below to all items shown.
