Today I’m sharing a huge roundup of nightstands! This was definitely the most requested furniture item on my recent poll on Instagram, so I created three categories in hopes of fitting any budget. I’ve done an under $250 category with some styles starting at just under $150, an under $500 category, and a “splurge worthy” category for a few more unique or intricate designs that I love.
Since I haven’t been running into stores each week to grab fresh flowers and greenery over the past year, I’ve had to find a realistic alternative that I like just as much as the real thing. As someone who isn’t a fan of faux greenery or florals, I was very particular in my search and landed on dried florals! They are just as affordable, long lasting, and easy to maintain as faux, but they have the realistic look I craved! They also blend in nicely with the live houseplants that I have all around the house and don’t look out of place. Today I’m sharing a few dried florals that would be great to freshen up your home for spring if you want to try them out!
Over the last year I’ve been working hard on our bedroom to create a design that works nicely with the shape of the room, but am being very intentional about the pieces I choose as I would like to have them for a long time. I’m making sure each piece is not only beautiful, but good quality as well. The newest addition to the space made my jaw drop when I took it out of the packaging. It’s the Cyprus Bone Inlay Floor mirror from Serena and Lily, and it makes such a big impact in the space! It’s taller than our previous mirror and reflects so much more light. It can also capture the reflection of our entire chandelier, making the whole room feel a bit more elevated.
The antique bone tiles and brass nailhead detail are so beautiful, photos don’t do them justice. I love the soft and subtle dimension it adds to the space while still giving me the calm, warm neutral look that I like to incorporate into all my designs. It’s a timeless piece that I know I’ll cherish for a long time.
Our new baby boy, Eoghan, took a liking to it as well and was having a lot of fun looking at himself in it after we put it up. These images turned out to be some of my favorite of him to date, and I’m so glad I was lucky enough to capture this moment on camera!
Our bedroom is feeling so close to complete with the addition of this beautiful mirror. I love that the tones tie in so nicely with our Blake Dresser, and it helps to evenly distribute the warm natural beige tones throughout the space to give us an even more cohesive and intentional feel in here.
I love using mirrors as wall decor since I’m more of a minimalist when it comes to artwork. It’s a nice way to reflect light in your space, and helps smaller spaces feel a lot bigger and more grand. It’s also a great way to allow other parts of the room to be more visible at all angles.
My general rule for whether or not to add a mirror into a space is to ask yourself if the reflection will be something you love and would like to see more of in the space. If the reflection is of an area you don’t love—skip it or move the mirror to another wall where the reflection is more desirable. I’m going to round up some of my favorite Serena and Lily mirrors below that would work nicely in any space!
I’m so happy to have checked another item off the list for our bedroom. This new piece has been making me smile every time I walk past it since we installed it.

A new accent chair is a great way to refresh the look and feel of a space. Today I’m sharing a chairs that have caught my eye lately that would work nicely in a living room as well as any other space in your home!
Exciting news! I just recently discovered that you can shop Marshalls online! I was shopping for some gifts this morning and found some really great decor in stock! It seems like some of the product can overlap with what’s on the TJ Maxx website, but they do have a lot of new things, too. It’s a great to have another option if you’re in the mood to explore what’s out there, but don’t actually want to leave your house!

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is only a week away! It seems like November has really flown by this year. Today I’m sharing some Thanksgiving tablescape inspiration. I’ve kept the look very simple, casual, and affordable.
I’ve added in some natural texture to the table with the woven chargers and the DIY candleholders I made this week. I brought in a simple natural linen napkin and tucked it between my stoneware plates that have a more organic look to them.
I kept the floral arrangement to more muted, earthy tones. I love the touch of rusty brown that the magnolia brought it, so I cut a few of my hydrangeas from the front yard and added them to bring in more of that rusty tone to the arrangement.
I like the mix of metals that the brass compote and the hammered silver flatware bring to the table. The fluted drinking glasses keep the design looking polished but not too formal. To keep the tablescape more causal I’ve skipped doing a tablecloth or runner, and opted for just the woven chargers and cloth napkins to elevate the dining ware from our everyday look.
I hope this these simples touches inspire you all to create a more special look for your table to celebrate the holiday, even if you’re doing so in smaller groups this year.
Ever since I transformed our ottoman with the camel boucle fabric cover I knew I wanted to bring in a new rug that was more neutral, but still added in a lot of texture and coziness to the space. With our new puppy I knew that whatever I brought in would have to be very durable and easy to clean. The first place I looked was the Dash and Albert line of rugs from Annie Selke. They are my go to whenever I have clients that request durable and easy to clean rugs, because they have such a large selection of well made rugs that will hold up to high traffic areas, kids, and pets.
I’ve been using their P.E.T. line for a while now, and I loved the look and texture of the Veranda Ivory Indoor/Outdoor Rug. It’s eco-friendly polyester fiber is made from recycled plastic bottles, but it still has a soft wool-like feel. It feels great underfoot, and has been so nice to lay on lately while we’ve spent hours playing with Mimi and our new puppy, Eoghan!
The tightly woven fibers have been holding up well to the dogs’ many daily play sessions, and I’m glad to know that the rug is scrubbable and hoseable in case I need to clean it in the future. Knowing that we’ll always have dogs in our home, I’m glad that Annie Selke has a large selection of rugs to choose from that are stylish and functional for our lifestyle.
I just love the chunky texture of this rug, and think it is going to look great with all of our holiday decor! I will be sure to post an update on my instagram when I get this space decorated in the next few weeks.
