When decorating a period home, you have to decide, are you going full vintage? Or vintage inspired? This is a mix of midcentury modern, art deco, and art nouveau inspired pieces all through the house. So you can be as maximalist or minimalist to your heart's content!
I don't like to cook so I work extra hard to make the experience as painless as possible. I read somewhere that that's what you need to do in order to make mundane tasks enjoyable. So if it's on this list, it's top notch, an absolute pleasure to use and most of all-top quality.
I absolutely love the process of styling my bookshelves. It's a wonderful way to display the books I love with fun and funky decor that reflects my personality. Full disclosure, a lot of the decor I own (other than the fake plants) was either a gift, bought secondhand, or inherited from a family member. However, I've done my best to find similar pieces that give off the same vibe.
I don't know about you but we're seeking better health all around. That's why we're turning back to natural fiber like cotton. I've read that fabrics on the body can be toxic and this is one reason we're going back to natural fibers as much as possible. I hope you'll join us as we redo our bedroom and make it as natural and cozy as possible!

My Style: Dark, Bold, and Beautifully Offbeat 🖤⚰️ My aesthetic lives in the shadows—in the best way. If you love all things black, unconventional, and a little eerie, you’re in the right place. My space holds items like coffin shelfs, coffin table, yes, I wore a black wedding dress—because traditional just isn't my style. I gravitate toward gothic, dark alternative, and modern macabre vibes with a hint of elegance. Think clean lines, bold statements, and décor that tells a story—usually one with a slightly spooky twist. Whether you’re into home decor that turns heads, fashion that breaks rules, or just love living unapologetically dark, this is where I share the pieces that inspire me. Dark, edgy, and unapologetically alternative—a mix of gothic aesthetics with a minimalist, modern twist. My style is a sleek, curated darkness—where every item is a statement, and the statement is: "This is me, and I'm not afraid to embrace the shadows."
Sleeping on organic mattresses and bedding offers a wide range of benefits—not just for your comfort, but for your health and the environment too. Here's why making the switch is worth it: Non toxic, chemical free, breathable and temp regulating, hypoallergenic and allow for a better night's sleep. You spend ¼ of your life in bed, you want to make sure you aren't breathing in toxins.
this is our first real adult apartment — no roommates, no dorm rooms — and we wanted to fully invest in pieces that felt intentional, elevated, and cozy. while keeping everything minimalist and aesthetic, of course. despite the hate it’s gotten lately, i’m unapologetically a fan of the millennial beige aesthetic. growing up in a house full of character, color, and knick knacks, i realized i personally thrive in simple, calming environments — spaces that are visually clean, understimulating, and easy to care for. this list is my curated collection of furniture, storage, and cozy essentials that are minimal in color but still maximum in character. 🤍 if you’re like me — someone who craves soft, grounding spaces but struggles to find pieces that actually fit that vibe — i’ve got you. these are the essentials that helped us furnish and organize our 499 sq ft studio, maximize storage, minimize distractions, and fully enjoy the (very expensive lol) rent we’re paying.
Ever find it a challenge to keep your home clean? I know I do especially when the kids are out of school. Here are some of my best Cleaning/Organizing ideas that I use around my house.
Want a bedroom that feels both sexy and cozy—completely yours—without breaking the bank? This list is packed with stylish, comfortable finds that bring warmth and personality to your space at great prices.

There’s something so relaxing and refreshing about a Beachy Coastal tree. Whether it’s for Christmas, Christmas in July, or to add a festive touch to a beach house, this style brings the soothing vibes of the ocean indoors. I enjoy decorating with items that capture the essence of the shore. Twinkling lights and coastal accents creates a peaceful, breezy atmosphere that feels both festive and serene. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season while keeping that endless summer feeling alive!
The Tree of Life appears in cultures and traditions across the world — from Norse Yggdrasil to Darwin’s “I think” sketch, from Celtic knotwork to Klimt’s golden spirals. It has been seen as a cosmic axis, a family tree, a map of knowledge, a symbol of resilience, and a source of renewal.
This collection explores those many branches of symbolism. You’ll find pieces for the home that represent grounding and family, spiritual objects that remind us of strength and connection, jewelry and fashion that let us carry meaning with us, and thoughtful treasures that invite reflection. Think of it as a walk beneath the Tree of Life, pausing to notice its roots, trunk, branches, and leaves.
