We built our house from the ground up (mostly) by ourselves. These are some tried and true home items that I’d buy again.

I’ll preface this recommendation by saying a DIY background and small understanding in construction is needed for these ready-to-assemble cabinets. They offer a lot of design options for all tastes; I used primed cabinets, white oak cabinets, and wal...
RTA Cabinets
We have an 8’ long kitchen island and two 18” versions of this pendant look exceptional hanging above it.
Capital Lighting Sedona Pendant
If you’ve ever shopped for mirrors you know how expensive they can get. I wanted a large mirror to span across my son’s two sink bathroom vanity and this couldn’t have worked out better! It’s heavy as all get out, but there’s no distortion in the ref...
Large Rectangle Metal Framed Modern Wall Bathroom Vanity Mirror
I used these in our primary bath and I’m obsessed! I went with the antique brass finish to tie in with all my light fixtures.
Wylie Arched Mirror
These flank the arched mirrors in our primary bath. We have our “pretty” lights on a separate switch than our can lights and these sconces provide a perfect glow that’s not too harsh. The antique brass matches the mirrors exactly.
Bryant Decorative Wall Sconce
The large antique brass version of this pendant is hung above our freestanding tub. I love the drama it adds!
Hicks Pendant Light
I loved this penny tile floor pattern from Chris Loves Julia, so I recreated it in our half bath with affordable tiles from Home Depot. The first photo was my dry fit trial run. One of my favorite projects!
Daltile Restore Black 11 in. x 10 in. Matte Ceramic Penny
This is definitely an investment, but I LOVE my range. The larger size makes cooking multiple things at once a breeze plus being able to fit large cookie sheets is 👌🏻
CAFÉ™ 36" Smart All-Gas Commercial-Style Range with 6 Burners (Natural Gas)
Another great appliance by Cafe! The ability to use it as an oven and a microwave is so convenient. I also recommend purchasing through AJ Madison, especially if you live in a rural area like me and 99% of online retailers don’t deliver to the area. ...
Cafe 30 Inch Built-In Convection Single Electric Wall Oven
Don’t want a TV ruining your aesthetic? This is the solution, I can’t tell you how many people thought it was just a painting!
Samsung 65" Class The Frame
Filled with down feathers and a wide array of fabric options, I hands down recommend Stanton Furniture. We customized their 495 sectional and I love how it holds up to our family use. Extra bonus points for being able to pick two different accent fab...
Stanton 495 Sectional
These containers seal wonderfully and the color options are so fun!
Food Storage Set
I wanted a single hole kitchen faucet for ease of cleaning, the touch technology was a bonus and I use it constantly while I’m cooking. The Lumicoat is top notch, especially if you are susceptible to hard water spots.
Delta Cassidy Gold Touch Single-Handle Bar Faucet in Lumicoat Champagne Bronze
If you’re super into details like me, you’ll need matching sink strainers for your faucet!
Delta Gold 4-1/2 in. Kitchen Sink Flange and Strainer in Champagne Bronze
Matching disposal and flange stopper!
Delta Gold 4-1/2 in. Kitchen Sink Disposal and Flange Stopper in Champagne Bronze
Pro-tip: if you’re lucky enough to find one on the Delta Outlet recertified page, but it! I’ve gotten this and a few faucets from there and the savings are phenomenal!
Delta Air Switch with Dual Outlet
I love these brass cabinet pulls! They look the same as when they were brand new, but I think as they age they’ll get even better.
Rigdon Drawer Pull
These are so cool! It truly looks like floating books and they’re sturdy enough to hold the whole Throne of Glass series.
3 Pack Invisible Floating Bookshelf for Wall
This is a fool proof stain that seals wood excellently and smells wonderful. Watch the tutorial videos to get the application right!
Rubio Monocoat Wood Oil Finish
Even with all the technology she still gets hung up sometimes, but I can’t hype the auto empty feature enough. If you have pets and/or a large house, it saves your bacon!
eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
A work from home essential. Unfortunately for me I’ve lost the remote after redecorating my office, so I’ve been sitting on a chair on top of it 😅 Does anyone know if I can get an extra remote??
Walking Pads
It makes me feel like a school janitor when I use this on our LVP and tile floors. Highly recommend as it cuts down on elbow grease.
Bissell SpinWave Corded Mop Cleaner
These worked perfectly to display the China I inherited from my grandparents.
12 Pcs Stainless Steel Plate Hangers 6-10 Inch
We just installed this fan on our back porch, it’s sleek and quiet.
Hunter 52 Kennicott Outdoor Ceiling Fan
Kids Design
I love that I can display these anywhere and my son has easy access to them.
WS Game Co Scrabble, Monopoly & Clue Set
I started a collection of these down our hallway, one per grade. Easily interchangeable while also giving you a place to store the mountains of drawings they bring back from school.
Kids Artwork Frame Dark Oak - Holds 100 Art
We started with one Nugget set for my son’s birthday and that quickly morphed into adding a second at Christmas. He’s still obsessed two years later and it’s saved my sanity since he doesn’t steal my actual couch cushions to build with! I just ordere...
