We got this kitchen table for our breakfast nook area at Bob’s Furniture and I am obsessed with it. The color is beautiful and it’s extremely sturdy which is a bonus if you have little kids who inevitably make messes. For the price ($350-500) range, ...
Gray Round Dining Table & Chairs | Bob's Discount Furniture
Our kitchen has a peninsula countertop which I quickly learned cannot substitute an island. I found this island cart on Amazon and it’s a game changer. Way cheaper alternative to putting in a kitchen island and sometimes I forget it’s not a real isla...
Kitchen Island Cart with Solid Wood Top
Family room
I get so many compliments on this bookshelf in our family room that I found on Amazon. It was pricier than I planned, but the quality is amazing. it’s huge (taller than expected, but perfect for our high ceilings) and really ties the room together. T...
Arched 5-Tier Bookshelf with Doors
Bedrooms
Obsessed with the bed we got from Bob’s. We opted for the cloth headboard instead of wood so my kids won’t hurt their heads bumping against it so it’s great if you have kids and overall I just love everything about it.
King Chevron Upholstered Bed
My 3 year old graduated from a toddler bed to this lovely full size big girl bed from Plank + Beam. It was easy to assemble and great quality. I am also slightly obsessed with Plank + Beam’s furniture and do plan on getting our dining room table from...
Full Classic White Bed | Plank & Beam
We got these twin nightstands for our bedroom on Amazon and I am very happy with them. We both needed some more storage for our clothes but don’t exactly have enough space for a full dresser. The drawers are spacious and the charging ports are a huge...
Rustic 3 drawer drawer night stands w/ charging port
Besides a crib + bassinet had no furniture for my one year old’s nursery when we first moved in to our house. I needed something quick and easy that wouldn’t break the bank. This lovely white dresser was only $100 (it’s on sale for 90 rn) and it was ...
6 Drawer 50” Wide White Dresser
Rug shopping is not for the weak okay, it took me weeks of looking through every rug website and store to find the perfect shade for my bedroom floor. I stumbled upon this one on Amazon prime during a lightning sale and I scored an 8x10 for $60 🤯 th...

These bedside/desk lamps are soo cute and they have an outlet in the front which is a huge plus

Plank + Beam has amazing quality furniture damn near decent prices. We got our dining room table for $600 which if you look around you will know that is a very fair deal given what it looks like.

I got this to replace our current dining room chandelier and cannot wait
Gold Farmhouse Chandelier, 5-Lights
Bathroom
This classic vanity from Lowe’s is only $150 and transformed our first floor bathroom drastically (before pic at the end). Such a cost friendly option if you’re yearning to update on a budget.

There’s something about this light fixture that I love - you really can’t go wrong with it because brushed nickel is classic and beautiful
Brushed Nickel 3-light Vanity Light
I’m wild about with this bathroom mirror I found for our downstairs bathroom. It’s beautiful elegant and the 20x30’ size fit perfectly into the wall space AND it’s only $31!! 🤯

These are great if you don’t have a lot of storage space in your bathroom. It’s made a huge difference in mine and they’re fairly inexpensive

Light Fixtures
We needed to replace the 90’s looking light fixture in our walk-in hallway and I found this on Amazon for $29. It gives a farmhouse chic vibe that I was trying to achieve and super easy to install. I have it in black but there are a few other options...
Mayful Flush Mount Ceiling Light with Clear Glass
We got this track light in brushed nickel for over our kitchen island and lemme tell you they are the best!! - they come with different ambience shade settings which I love to change depending on the setting. Easy to install only $40 for the 4 light ...
4 Light LED Rotatable Track Light
I’m a sucker for brushed nickel if you can’t already tell. I love how simple this pendant light is and that you can adjust how long it goes. We have one directly above our kitchen sink and it looks great/ no complaints plus only $30.
Brushed Nickel Pendant Light
Playroom
Every play room needs one. I like this one because it’s sturdy, neutral colored and has a shelf to hold books! It’s on prime sale right now for around $100.
Toy Storage Organizer with Shelves & Bins
These wall mounted shelves were too cute not to put in our playroom. I wanted a place to store their books without having a regular bookshelf take up more space on the floor so I opted for these and I love them. Only $28 right now too 🙃

Office
Not sure how else I would keep myself straight without this command center above my desk. Includes a white board, calendar, and a mail holder
