BTFBM Women's Sweaters Casual Long … curated on LTK

Our Midwest weather's finally getting a refresh (probably temporary), but our closets could use a few refreshing pieces to wear now and see us through Spring. Here are my newest finds that I am loving. Actually, these Kut jeans (Natalie boot cut) have been my go-to favorites for close to a year now. I think I need to add a light wash. The Joggers and the yoga/dress pants are from a New-to-me company -- and I am over the moon about them!!! every size is available in 5 lengths!!! That's darn near custom at ready-to-wear prices. And the quality is great. WinterSpringBasics casualGoTos everydayfavorites bestjeans talljoggers tallpants LTKMostLoved LTKover40

It will soon be time for a Fall refresh -- swapping in some warm wood tones and fabulous wicker texture.

I love a great textured tray. Somehow everything on a tray becomes a statement, instead of clutter. Time to make that work for you.

This small round round wood tray has gorgeous clean lines with just a hint of elevation, perfect for those smaller spots.

I have the tiered tray in white, but maybe I need the brown version for Fall. By-the-way, I've also used the trays solo several times (just have to set something over the hole).

And I love the oversized wicker tray for a coffee table display. The contrast of the texture against smooth wood tabletop or a velvet ottoman would be wonderful.

I love all the Fall leafs and flowers!!!

Even better than Pumpkin Spice. I love Fall foraging! I need a new vase or two for those beauties I'll soon be harvesting.

Like this gorgeous glass one that's less than $7!!!, and this first wood one by Dave and Jenny Marrs (Big fan of these two), and this wood one that's a bit larger and more contemporary shape.

All are at unbelievable prices (less than $25)

I’m so impressed with this furniture company — so current, but not overly trendy. Makes me think of West Elm, but at more budget-friendly prices.

These are all on sale at this writing. Sone of the barstools and the white pendant are 70% off — just $30.

Don’t delay, things are selling out

Mystery wine tasting parties are such fun!

But if you’re scoring wines, that means winners. And winners mean prizes, right?

Wine necklace, socks and even lip gloss to wine bottle candles, wine bottle planters, trays and even a wine butler and wine towels.

Ready for Spring, when we get to start sampling the outdoors again.

Nothing like simply stunning new statement terra cotta clay pots (the stacked pots are spectacular — even better in person).

How about a new rug to bring the Spring indoors? Spring branches?

Lovely textured trays

And stemless wine glasses (from Libby, but no one would guess it)

And some are on sale!!!

Will you have guests staying with you this Summer?

Set them up with comfort top of mind. Isn't that the dream to have all our guests well-rested and pampered!

A great bed is a priority. The EZ Beds are the B.E.S.T. and this price from Grandin Road is the best I have found anywhere!!!

Add a thick comfy mattress topper for a truly luxurious sleep. Nightstands are important, especially when they're holding a water carafe and tumbler, and a dish for rings, watches and such -- as well as a sweet nibble for bedtime.

Every guest appreciates a luggage rack to hold their bag securely off the ground.

Don't forget motion-activated nightlights -- practical and appreciated! You can go all boutique hotel and have bathrobes handy for your guests.

My very favorite dress up, dress down bootcut jeans — Natalie bootcut from Kut From the Kloth.

Great fit especially if you are a bit on the long-legged side.

Great fabric and construction at a good price! Lots of wash choices.

Just enough fullness in the boot cut to wear with booties or fun heels.

Thighs are still thin enough, you can wear a tunic or untucked blouse without being overwhelmed with too much fabric.

Now I’m ordered an ankle length pair to wear with fun loafers and cute boat shoes.

I never tire of a great gallery wall!

Especially when it includes a personal touch! One favorite family candid photo broke up the formality of all the ornate gold frames.

I used large mirrors to help maximize light in this room that is naturally rather dark. And took them floor to ceiling.

Notice the variety of shapes, shades of gold and weight of frames. This keeps a gallery interesting.

Fresh take on a henley top -- 1/4 button up neck opening, but this time with cute pleated trim. Same trim is around the cuffs and the buttons are functional, so you can button up or open up as much as you like. Looks really cute unbuttoned with a contrasting cami peeking out.

Great blend that looks like cotton. If feel really high quality and cozy. It doesn't seem like tht kind that will quickly pill -- or even pill at all. (Fingers crossed on that one.

Great partially tucked into jeans or casual cropped pants and also would work well over cute joggers in the same color family.

I'm wearing a medium. (I'm 5'8", 140 lbs and typically a size 8).

For decor, I'm all about traditional, but with a fun, modern twist!
For Valentine's Day, is there anything more traditional than Conversation Hearts???
I love sweet, fun Valentine's decor over loud hot pink, and shiny sequins and all. That's just me.
I want a nod to love, but in fun, sweet playful ways.
And that's exactly what these Clay Conversation hearts are: Fun! Sweet! Playful!

Lighting can make (or break) a room — in how it feels AND how it functions!

Besides general or ambient lighting (ceiling pot lights for us), you want/need accent and task lighting. Often, the same fixture serves both.

Try for a mix of lighting direction. Open shelving and islands are lit from above with light shining downward. It was important to find swing arm fixtures to flank my sink with light directed up but still lighting the sink area. Success! (Yes, I installed it “upside down”)

I think picture light is the perfect solution for a dark corner over the built in wine rack

Dream of a luxury custom closet? Here's a budget friendly version of one of the most requested luxury closet features. I organized my jewelry drawer with 3 layers of sliding velvet jewelry trays. I more than doubled my storage and organized it for the price of a movie and popcorn.

No more tangled chains, no damaged heirloom pieces., no missing earrings. Plus I can see and find everything so easily.

Perfect antidote for cold weather. This game became our go-to game over the Christmas break! Our original cooperative play (how high could we build together) quickly became cut throat as we began stacking crosswise too and then also hanging off the side pieces. We turned it into a 3D game and had a blast doing so!

Definitely want a version with at least 48 pieces!

Our box says for ages 3+. FALSE! Pre-schoolers can have fun stacking them on a flat surface. But don't expect them to stack them on the teeter totter stage.
