Warm and comfy, but made it fun because silver sneakers. (And they’re on sale, and come in wide!)

This bathroom deserves a shout out now that it’s basically done (for real this time). Now vs when we moved in in 2018. Blood, sweat, and tears (literally) went into the major reno in 2019 and then the wallpaper and painting the vanity were a piece of cake a couple months ago!! @sandbergwallpaper paper, linked everything else in I could in the app.

Lucy likes to talk about babies and lately has been frequently saying, “Mom. Would it be funny if somebody had 1400 million babies? That’s so many! That eggs wouldn’t fit in the mommy’s tummy!” It’s always 1400 million. 🤷‍♀️😂 For real though, if anyone has tips on brushing and styling an almost 4-year-old‘s hair without all the screaming, I’m all ears.

Our caftans are from @petitieplume, Lucy loves matching!

Glad I swapped the mirrors out for this one. The wicker was cute, but the vintage gold is… pretty. Just doing what I can with this bathroom we renovated in all grey and white in 2019! Sources tagged and linked in LTK.

A white kitchen used to be my dream. But I didn’t really think much beyond that. Just, white, please. Well, I got there and it turns out it’s not charming without a few thoughtful touches. I’m grateful for this kitchen we renovated back in 2019, but I would make some different choices now… But I’m not renovating again anytime soon! So these little changes have made a difference. Recommend for any kitchen!

I am a fall grinch. Every time this year everyone gets excited for PSLs and sweaters and I just want more fresh fruit, sandals, and wine tasting under blue skies. It means winter is coming, and I’ll have to figure out how to deal with all my leaves. And be cold for the next 8-9 months. And I *do not* like those pumpkin pillows (sorry). Can anyone help me get in the spirit? Tv or movies to watch? Unique flavors? Outfit ideas that aren’t too warm while we transition? Behind the times l over here.

I have never liked dish racks, they get so stinky with the mats below them, plus they are not cute and take up so much room! And I do not feel like hiding it away when done all the time. I started using this option a while ago and it works great! Caveat: it’s not meant to get/stay wet so you have to keep it dry, particularly below it once you take items off. But it has worked for me!

Finally got this up! My laundry room wasn’t ever really finished and felt plain, and I also didn’t have a great place to hang things to dry. So cute and functional!
This one is from Pulley Maid, and I’m linking a similar one if you comment SHOP.

#LTKHome

Took years but finally finished this laundry room and I’m so grateful for it! Despite it being down a couple flights of stairs. Made the best of it! Blog post up this week includes all the sources, plant colors, etc. plus a link to the full basement project and budget.

#LTKHome

A basement laundry room is not the dream, but I’m pretty proud of how cute this one is! Took 2 years due to it being part of the larger basement project, and of course a divorce and becoming the only adult around here. Latest addition is the drying rack! Linked what I could in this LTK post, blog post coming very soon.

I’m still working on Otto’s bedroom but for now I found him the cutest sheets and am playing with lots of blues in here. I’m a white sheet person but for a little boys room that just didn’t feel right. This blue and white gingham is so cute! The duvet cover has a little wave pattern. Both are from @petiteplume, they have a couple of new bedding patterns just out recently too.
I am still tickled about some of these other unique pieces in Otto’s room too! And I’m thinking of replacing those baskets with a dresser, what do you think?

Honestly I’m pretty worn out on the DIY projects, but when I’m able to make something special like this for my daughter I’m grateful I have the skills and supplies to do this with relatively minimal disturbance to my life. 🤪 Although it did take some coordination and help from my dad, mom, and ex-husband to get the bed here, finished, and brought upstairs! 🙏

#LTKKids #LTKHome

Still have some changes planned for this room (natural wood dresser? New bedding. Different art? Lucy wants unicorn decals on the ceiling 🤔)… but I’m enjoying it a lot already.

#LTKHome

The velvet pillows, the warm florals, the greenery, the perfect peachy walls… I love this room! Patting myself on the back. Everyone deserves to get to sleep in a bedroom they love, right?!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I have been like obsessed with my bedroom recently. Haven’t even really changed anything big (I painted the walls a year ago and have been doing minor tweaks since) but it’s feeling so good. Maybe it takes a while to get used to a new space to feel truly comfortable with it. I’m so grateful that I get to sleep here, walk-through here on a sunny afternoon, and have this beautiful place for my fun antique light fixture or whatever my new favorite bedding is. ❤️🙏
(Paint color as a custom one, code is in my story highlight.)

I found this vintage crystal-ey semi flush mount light scrunched up in a printer paper box at my favorite antique store and I carefully hung the strings back on, but I finally rounded up some similar ones available new, at different price points.

Some stills because I am so excited about the pretty colors and warmth in this baseline preppy guestroom. I’m still figuring out how much I want to go Nancy Meyers neutral in my home versus bring that romantic English inspired vintage charm. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I like this! Plus that quilt is flipping amazing. And how beautiful is that decanter set? Those and the crocheted bedding are from @greenrow. Wallpaper is @riflepaperco. Other sources linked below where possible.

#LTKHome

I love these cozy updates to my guest room! This quilt is so heavy and delicious and feels so good. It’s literally made of recycled saris! The bedding updates and darling decanter set are from @greenrow, have you heard of them? All of their stuff is sustainably sourced and designed to last. They have a lot of pieces for the holidays committed to a sweeter, slower, more sustainable way of life. Really wonderful stuff. #GreenRowLove #sponsored

Stills from my guestroom/office project. This was a hard one. Out of my comfort zone and a little brighter and a peppier than I’ve been doing lately, back to my pre-industrial/MCM-inspired black and white and then organic earthy modern phases. It’s girly and cheerful, and I love walking into it to work or snuggle the kids!

I guess I’d rather do it myself and subject my dad or any of my friends to my rug moving whims. If you have a partner who will happily replace a rug and carefully line up with a rug pad with you, wow, hang onto that one!
Seriously though, I’m very excited for this rug from @rugsUSA, a classic braided jute rug that is super soft and all natural fiber. I see these in the old house design books, and they had so much quality and character. Worth the sweat of this change!

#LTKHome

I am so stoked about my new rug and using this opportunity to remind you that, despite what you see on the design shows, you *always* need a rug pad! Drives me crazy they don’t show that step on installs. A rug will slip around and get damaged faster without a proper pad underneath. And it’s pretty easy to cut them to the exact right size. Plus it makes them feel more comfortable and luxurious.

#LTKHome

I have been slowly swapping out my target decor purchases of previous years for higher quality pieces that work better in my home. I had multiple pairs of target curtains literally pinned together on the front window to make them double wide, and none of them were quite long enough. I put pins through the loops and those curtain rings, but they sagged and pulled.
These are Belgian linen pleated, lined, custom width and length curtains from @twopagescurtains which is a super fast, easy, and affordable way to get custom curtains. They have so many colors and fabric choices too. Really incredible, luxurious option. My coupon code SUZANNAHSTANLEY gets you 15% off! #sponsored
