We live in a small apartment that we wanted to make feel as spacious as possible. With mostly thrifted items and some cute products (linked below ofc) we manage to keep our space homey and organized (for the most part).
Working from home I have learned that my office needs to be a place I want to spend time in. These are things that help me to focus and thrive at work.
When you live in a small space you have to get creative and select furniture that serves multiple purposes, and/or folds away when not in use. I can't vouch for the quality of all of these items so do you homework. As with any of these assemble-yourself products, I always recommend a bit of wood glue on each join to keep things solid.

This was inspired by the french potager style and it is easily modable to anyone's space constraints! I tried to add structure with the bird cage and then some organization with an herb plant in each corner (thyme, chives, parsley, dill) and a large rosemary in the middle, dotted with a purple petunia in between each - which started to flow over the sides as summer continued. I used a clematis to train up two of the sides, which hopefully will look even better next year! I also added some potted lavender around the base. I love this look and can't wait to do more with it next year!

I've started my journey of swapping household products containing toxins, carcinogens, and skin-irritants for their healthier, non-toxic replacements. I've deep-dived into each product to make sure that they're free from the chemicals that their counterparts are known for. This is my list of the best non-toxic products that I've personally tried and LOVE!!!

Few things are more rewarding than watching hummingbirds dart through the garden or fly around your porch.

Perfect for patios, porches, balconies, or backyard gardens.
In these lists, I have included every detail that I use to keep these feeders clean, fresh, and full of hummingbirds.
Fall starts, night falls sooner, and we typically spend more time inside our homes. For someone of us, that means taking a good look around and realizing we need a new blanket or some small upgrade. Here are items I’d recommend, part 2 to follow🩷
Home fragrance is one of those subtle details that instantly shifts the energy of a space. It sets the tone for what you need, whether that be a clean, warm, or calm, scent. It’s the thing that makes your home feel intentional rather than accidental.
These are the kitchen things I actually use (like, every single day). The gadgets that make me feel like a pro chef when I’m really just trying not to burn dinner, the organizers that keep my fridge from looking like chaos, and the little extras that just make life easier (and more fun)!
Living in a one-bedroom condo with my partner, both of us working from home, means our space has to do a lot. It’s where we work, rest, and spend most of our time, so I was really intentional about how it feels day to day. With limited square footage, the goal wasn’t just to make everything fit. I wanted it to feel open, calm, and actually enjoyable to live in. I focused on pieces that serve a purpose while still adding comfort. Small changes made a big difference. The idea was to make our home feel lived in, not crowded.
Just a tired teacher with a modest paycheck and an expensive taste in rugs. I’ll never be able to afford any of these (unless I win the lottery or start charging per email reply), but I can still swoon over them from afar. This list is basically floor art for people who have more money than sense (and I mean that with deep, envious admiration). Enjoy this list of jaw-dropping floor candy that I’ll never own but will always admire… from a respectful financial distance.

A small kitchen gets frustrating when the tools used every day are buried behind appliances or stacked in the wrong place.

I moved to the country a few years ago. Loving the slower pace of life, I decided to start a small container garden. It started out really small, but as I have added more and more items over the years it has turned into a full-fledged herb and vegetable affair. Now, every year, I look forward to planting, watering, watching them grow, and my favorite part - harvesting and eating! These are some of the favorite things I used with my small container garden that I continue to use. Using these items, along with water and plenty of sunshine, can provide you with a better quality of food than you will ever purchase from a grocery store.
