We just finished building our custom built home and I'm in the process of furnishing and decorating. Follow along while I make this house a home. I love decorating, organizing and entertaining.
Spent years buying sleek, minimalist furniture that looked great on Pinterest but made my apartment feel like a dentist's waiting room. After one impulse buy at a flea market, I went full vintage and haven't looked back — every piece has a story now and people actually want to hang out in my living room. If your space feels generic and you're tired of the same West Elm knockoffs everyone has, this is the lineup that gave my place real character without a single custom order.
These are the items that helped me turn a small footprint into a comfortable, livable space. From cozy indoor comforts to clever outdoor additions and those under-the-radar extras, each one has made a noticeable difference. Tiny home living is all about intention—and these picks prove that small solutions can have a big impact.
Life gets busy, and the right tools can save you time, reduce stress, and simplify your daily routine. This collection features my favorite products that help automate everyday tasks—from smart home gadgets and time-saving kitchen essentials to organization tools and tech that make life run a little smoother. Whether you're looking to boost productivity, keep your home organized, or simply make daily chores easier, these are the items worth adding to your routine.
Staring at a plain wooden fence every time you step outside gets old fast. If you've been wanting to grow flowers, herbs, or trailing vines along your fence line but don't want to dig up your yard or wrestle with heavy pots, this is the setup that worked for me. Took a full summer of trial and error so you can skip straight to the good stuff.
I love having the stuff I need when I need it. But not too much since I hate clutter. Here’s the best things for your home and ways to organize your garage and keep your place tidy. Also I love to garden and I’ll post my best stuff here too💕
As Autumn/Fall is approaching, there's nothing I love more than cozying up under blankets, lighting a candle, and watching the latest series on Netflix. Here are some of my favourite candles I've tried, and ones that are on my wishlist!
A grinch Christmas is my favorite! I have been collecting decorations for my Grinch Christmas for several years. I would love to share with you where I have found some of my favorite decorations.
A curated collection of practical storage solutions for creating a tidier, more functional home. From living room baskets and drawer organizers to bathroom storage, closet helpers, and laundry solutions, I picked these finds for the simple ways they can make everyday clutter easier to manage—especially when you want to make better use of the space you already have. ✨
Her room looked like every other beige box in the house and she kept saying it felt boring. I spent way too long scrolling for things that would actually make it feel like hers without turning it into a Pinterest disaster. If you have a kid or teen who wants their space to feel personal but you don't want to repaint every wall, this is what actually worked for us.
A soft western-inspired nursery designed to feel cozy, grounded, and timeless. Gentle blues, muted greens, and natural textures bring calm to the space, while subtle nods to hunting life — ducks, dogs, and rustic wood tones — add personality and charm. The design blends a touch of the outdoors with a feminine warmth, creating a sweet retreat that feels both classic and heartfelt. 🦆🎀🩵🌾
Spent two hours last Saturday balancing on a step stool with a squeegee and newspaper, still left streaks everywhere — and my second-floor windows haven't been touched in a year because I'm not climbing a ladder. If you're tired of dreading window day or paying someone $200 every few months, these robots suction right onto the glass and do the work while you fold laundry or just watch from the couch. Took me way too long to discover this category exists.

So many things in our everyday lives can impact our long term health. I want to switch out my toxic products for low-tox products, and improve the health of both myself and anyone (or anything) living in my home. These changes don’t all happen at once however, so this is my wishlist!

We bought a fixer upper made in 1978 so we have done quite a few remodel work over the years. Most recently, we had a flood in the hall so we are in the process of replacing items in the hall bathroom and flooring throughout a good portion of the house. These are items we used or very similar.
When I first moved out, both into this economy and my first "big-girl" apartment, it felt like a crash course in figuring out essentials, (just how many everyday things I needed, apparently) and how to save with my limited paycheck. I realized that these eco-friendly things weren't greenwashing to take extra $$$, but having things that last will save you over spending again and again in the long run. I use several of these items listed, and hope it inspires others!
Must-have accessories and overlooked items that make daily living easier, more comfortable, and more organized. Perfect for college students, first-time renters, and young adults, this list highlights practical finds you may not think of until you need them.

I am starting my garden again. This year I am choosing more herbs, vegetables, and fruit than flowers. I'll share everything I have used and done here and maybe we can trade ideas.
If you need a good starter kit or some new equipment to care for your plants, check out this list of products I use to keep my plants alive and thriving. I love plants and have brought them with me every time I’ve moved, if I had the space I would probably even have more.
Closing my plant store was such a sad day but I learned SO MUCH! Let me share my favorite products and tips with you for keeping the happiest plants around! 🪴 💚
Smashing brie into a pancake with a regular knife or watching your gouda crumble into sad little chunks gets old fast. This list is for anyone who hosts cheese boards, snacks on cheese daily, or just got tired of mangling every wedge they bring home. Took me two years of trial and error across different brands, so you can skip straight to what actually works.
My FAVE time of the year, and yes I am fully embracing the ‘ber months! Nothing I genuinely enjoy more than seasonal goodies, especially that make you smell and feel amaze 🤩
Skip the guesswork. I've narrowed down the must-have plant gear for 2026, focusing on durability, style, and innovation. From propagation stations to specialized fertilizers, these are the products I’m personally using to level up my garden this year.
That Sunday scaries feeling used to hit me around 4pm like clockwork — dread pooling in my stomach, mentally already exhausted by Monday. I tried ignoring it, I tried wine, I tried going to bed early. Nothing worked until I built an actual Sunday night ritual with specific things that made the evening feel like a reward instead of a countdown. If you're someone who spends Sunday evenings doom-scrolling and dreading your alarm, steal this whole setup before another weekend slips away feeling wasted.
We all have those friends who put their heart and soul into hosting- from a simple double date to an extravagant gala. This is a list of small things you can gift to your host to make them feel seen and appreciated, and so you don’t show up empty handed!
All of these recommendations come from me- the owner of the “gathering house” of my friend group. Ask anyone and they’ll tell you about our annual christmas party and my epic housewarming. Since entering my late 20’s I’ve realized how much I and all hosts & hostesses put into their parties- since then I never show up to a function empty handed. The key to this is to make sure you don’t gift something they have to serve or use that night- here is all my ideas that still qualify!
Warm lighting, plush textures, and just the right amount of boho charm. This is my go-to roundup of Amazon finds that turn "just a house" into an actual cozy sanctuary - think faux fur throws, glowing lamps, hidden storage, and greenery that never needs watering. Basically everything your home didn't know it was missing.
Not a chef. Just someone who’s in the kitchen every day and figured out what’s actually worth having.
These are the things I use, reach for, and would 100% buy again.
All year round, I love to light a candle in my home to feel more relax! Over the year, I have built my little collection and I have some favorites, that I would like to share with you in this list.
I love finding simple ways to keep my kitchen and home organized. These are my favorite products that make everyday spaces feel calm, functional, and easy to maintain.
Bathroom Chaos, Calmed: Organization That Survives Two Boys — Two boys, one busy bathroom, and a full-time job means this room has to WORK. These are the organizers that ended the counter clutter, the under-sink avalanche, and the morning toothpaste wars at our house. Everything here is quick to set up, easy to clean, and tough enough for daily boy-mom life.
If you've ever wondered where I get inspiration for my home, this is it. I love relaxed coastal spaces that feel bright, cozy, and timeless (not overly beachy or full of seashells). Before I decorate or buy anything, I always start with these websites, creators, and resources to gather ideas and create a vision for my space. I love saving ideas that bring in natural textures, soft colors, and that relaxed “summer by the ocean” feeling.

If your full-size ironing board lives behind a door, falls on you every time you grab a coat, and takes up half your laundry room, this is the setup that fixed all of it. I iron shirts in my closet now in about three minutes flat. Built this whole system for people in apartments, small houses, or anyone who just hates dragging out a giant board for one wrinkled shirt. Took me a while to figure out what actually works, so you can skip the trial and error.

Nothing kills a Friday night faster than a cork crumbling into your Cabernet while guests pretend not to notice. If you've ever fished cork bits out of a bottle with a butter knife, this list is for you. I spent way too long testing openers, pourers, and accessories so you can skip the embarrassment and just enjoy the wine.
Tired of ugly plastic bins ruining every room you just spent hours decorating? Same. I kept shoving storage into closets until I realized pink pieces actually double as decor. This list is for anyone who wants their apartment or house to look pulled together without sacrificing actual function — took me a solid year of trial and error so you can skip straight to the good stuff.
Swapping my kitchen products was super important to me as it's items that you use daily. I have tried to make safer choices to reduce the amount of microplastics that we come in contact with while preparing and cooking food. Hope this helps start your journey 💙
Every room in my apartment used to look like a college dorm that aged poorly — mismatched IKEA leftovers, bare shelves, zero personality. Then I started hunting for ceramics and pottery on secondhand markets, and suddenly people walked in asking if I hired a decorator. If your place feels flat and you're tired of buying mass-produced decor that looks like everyone else's, this is the exact lineup of tools, materials, and pieces that got me there — most of it for less than a dinner out.
Welcome to quite possibly my favorite list in current existence. My home finds will be sectioned off into different rooms in the house, including but not limited to my absolute favorite part of my house, my COFFEE BAR, so if you're into coffee you'll love that section!
Our starter home is great — but small. We have to get creative with organization to keep it from feeling cluttered. What are some of your small home organization favorites?
My apartment felt cluttered and cramped no matter how much I cleaned. Turns out the problem wasn't the square footage, it was the stuff I kept and how I arranged what was left. This is everything I bought over one long weekend that made my small space actually breathe. If you've been staring at the same messy corner for months, just start here.

Grab what you need before the next heat wave turns your garden into a crispy mess.
Between work, cooking, cleaning, and pretending to have a social life, I was running on fumes every single week. Tried a bunch of so-called time-saving products that ended up collecting dust. But these 30 things actually clawed back real minutes from my day — roughly an hour a week when I added it all up. If you're someone who constantly feels like there aren't enough hours in the day, steal this list before burnout catches up with you.

This year I went deep on Etsy and now people literally cross the street to stare. If you're the house that always loses the Halloween decoration war, steal my whole setup before September stock disappears.

These are some gift ideas for an inlaw who doesn't want to give you a fair chance.
Your HVAC system is one of the most expensive parts of your home—and one of the easiest to neglect.

If your kitchen trash can just sits out in the open collecting stares from guests and smells that hit you the second you walk in, this list is for you. I spent way too long dealing with an ugly bin next to my fridge before I went down the rabbit hole of cabinet-mounted, pull-out, and hidden garbage solutions. For anyone in a small kitchen, a rental, or just someone who wants their space to stop looking like a dorm room. Took me months of returns and wrong sizes so you can skip straight to what works.

My backyard was basically a concrete slab I avoided after dark — ugly, uninviting, and honestly kind of creepy once the sun went down. If you've got a patio that feels more like a parking lot than a hangout spot, this is everything I strung up, wrapped around, and clipped on to make it somewhere I actually want to sit with a drink. Took me two summers of buying the wrong lights to figure this out so you don't have to.

Cleaning day used to eat my entire Saturday. What fixed it was not working harder, it was about eight tools that cut the boring steps out completely.

Since those early COVID days, I've been blessed that the roles I've taken on in corporate america have all been from the comfort of my home. With spending endless amounts of time in my home, behind a desk, taking calls or typing away on my laptop, these make the 8-5 a breeze.

Helped my daughter move into her dorm last August and watched her fitted sheet pop off the corner three times before we even finished making the bed. Those thin dorm mattresses are a different beast — weird depth, plasticky surface, sheets sliding everywhere. After returning two sets and stress-ordering at midnight, we finally nailed it. If you're shopping for a college kid and refuse to waste another $30 on sheets that bunch up by Tuesday, this is the list I wish someone handed me in July.
If your living room feels more like a transit station than a sanctuary, you’re likely struggling with the "New Home Syndrome": flat lighting, empty corners, and a lack of tactile warmth.
