For the longest time, my closets were just black holes for stuff I didn’t know what to do with, old sweaters, tangled cords, half-used gift wrap. Sound familiar? Turns out, with a little imagination, those hidden spaces can be total lifesavers. I’ve turned one into a mini home office and another into a super tidy…
I used to think art had to match the furniture or follow some design rule, but then I started picking pieces that just felt right. That’s when my house finally started feeling like home. Surrounding yourself with art that speaks to you isn’t about impressing guests or staying on trend. It’s about creating a space…
I used to see slanted walls in a bedroom and think, What am I even supposed to do with that? But after playing around with a few ideas, I realized those angled ceilings aren’t obstacles, they’re opportunities. There’s something about the way they frame a space that instantly makes it feel like a tucked-away hideout….
When I was house hunting, I thought I’d be focused on kitchens and curb appeal, but flooring? That quickly became a deal-breaker. I started noticing every uneven board, odd stain, or suspicious lump under the carpet. And I’m not alone. Most buyers walk into a home and their eyes go straight to the floor without…
I’ll admit it, those house-flipping shows totally sucked me in. Gorgeous transformations in 30 minutes? Sign me up. But after touring a few flipped homes in real life, I quickly learned not everything is as picture-perfect as it seems. Some flippers rush through projects just to cash out fast, leaving behind a pretty facade and…
There’s something about summer that makes me want to do absolutely nothing, and do it in style. For me, that means finding the perfect daybed where I can stretch out, soak up the sun, and maybe pretend I’m at a luxury resort (even if I’m just in the backyard). Whether it’s a quiet corner under…
Home decor trends are always evolving, but let’s be honest, some furniture styles should’ve never made it past the blueprint stage. Couches especially have had some wild moments over the years. I’ve seen some that make me genuinely pause and think, Who approved this? Between oddball shapes, scratchy fabrics, and color choices that feel like…
Kitchen trends come and go faster than I can declutter a junk drawer, one minute it’s all about bold colors, the next it’s minimalist everything. I’ve definitely fallen for a few fleeting fads (anyone else remember appliance garages?), but I’ve also learned which design choices actually stand the test of time. Some kitchens just feel…
Every time I walk into a home that feels like a copy-paste of the neighbor’s, I can’t help but think, where’s you in all this? I get it, it’s easy to fall into the trap of matching sets and Pinterest-perfect trends. I’ve done it too. But after a while, my space started feeling more like…
Some of my favorite pieces didn’t come from fancy galleries, they came from dusty corners of thrift stores and antique shops. I’ve learned that the best artwork isn’t always hanging in plain sight. There’s something so satisfying about finding a forgotten painting or quirky sketch that instantly transforms a room. These one-of-a-kind gems add personality…
