I am a firm believer in making your home your sanctuary and finding little things that bring you joy by looking at them. I created a list of fun things that I have in my home or have gifted to friends/family. Little and big additions to your home can completely transform your space, which for me has helped improve my mental health. A happy home has given me little things to smile about throughout the bad days.

I renovated my 11' x 5' bathroom in July 2023 from the ground up - here are all the things I bought & considered for the project, along with some photos of the finished project! I originally started this list during the planning phase with my fiance, and we both added options to this list during the planning process and used it to make the final purchasing decisions.

Here are some awesome picks for making home life easier, more fun & enjoyable 🙂
