If you're looking for things to make your house a home, I've got you. This is a list of my favorite home items ranging from cleaning supplies to kitchenware. There is a little something for everyone here!
This list is really just for me, manifesting what my future home will look like 😆. If you like the organic, modern style with a touch of Japandi and Scandinavian design then hopefully this list can provide some good inspo! (List is currently a work in progress)
All things craft related that I use in my craft room. I only post what I use and recommend (or want). It’s important to me that my craft room is clean and organized.
We’re in our reusing, repurposing and being grateful for what we have era. No need to buy all new holiday decor every year. Pick one thing from this list you know you’ll treasure and use forever— save those dollars for celebrating other parts of life. Oh, and see you at the thrift stores.
I have made it my life mission to add colors to my spaces. I didn’t want to fall into the plain white and tan minimalist and modern look that is trending (nothing wrong with that just prefer to be different than everyone else). If you are anything like me, here is a list of my favorite home decor of green and orange colors which is also perfect for the fall season ☺️
I tend to prefer simple, modern designs for my 4th of July parties rather than the more traditional vintage style. So I created this list of Independence Day ideas that fit my own more minimalist style, but still with all the red, white, and blue ways to celebrate America.
When the power goes out in the middle of winter, I don’t want to be stumbling around in the dark, freezing, and wondering where the extra batteries are. I want to be the cozy, unbothered one—with snacks, light, and a charged phone 😌.
That’s what “winter outage essentials” are for. It’s not about panicking, it’s about preparing so well that an outage feels more like an unexpected chill day. Think: warm layers and blankets ready to grab, backup power so you’re not glued to a dying battery icon, lights that actually let you see what you’re doing, and a few comfort items that make everything feel less stressful (hello, hot drinks and snacks).
Getting these things ahead of time is like giving your future self a big hug. The storm can do its thing outside—inside, you’re warm, prepared, and still in your soft-life era. 💡🧣✨
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.
Your bedroom should feel like a retreat — calm, warm, and full of pieces that make you want to crawl in and stay awhile. 💤
I pulled together my favorite cozy finds that helped transform our space into a soft, serene escape — think textured bedding, neutral furniture, and glowy lighting that instantly makes the whole room feel inviting.
Whether you’re starting fresh or just adding a few new touches, these cozy bedroom ideas are easy to mix and match to create a space that feels effortlessly calm and endlessly cozy. ✨

How to make your dorm a home away from home. Option 1: Pack the basics and buy what you need when you get to college. Cons: the first couple weeks, the mailroom is crowded and packages might get lost. Or you get whatever is left at the stores near campus. If you have no access to a car, you might need several trips. Option 2: fly With your stuff. Option 3: load the car with IKEA blue bags, compression bags, etc. (As of summer 2023, Target is offering a one time 20% off special for a purchase made by someone with a college ID).

So my wife and I have completely renovated two homes now, and partially renovated two others, all four of which we lived in full time during the course of the renovations - something that is definitely not for the faint-of-heart! Over the past thirty years, we've learned a thing or two about home renovations, products, materials, tools, contractors, and handy men. This list is a summary of materials, tools, design sources, and projects we've worked on and any crafts (electricians, plumbers, etc.,) that we've needed to bring in to complete a job. It's been an interesting road that I know a lot of people may be reluctant to take. Let me tell you... if we can do it, anyone can do it!!
