Benning Bench curated on LTK

If you give a mouse a cookie… but the mouse doesn’t have any free time…
Pumped about the new dresser/nightstand situation but now I want new bedding, headboard, art, sconces… wonder how long that’ll take me these days! Thanks for sticking with me lately, been a hard, chaotic, exciting, year so far. ❤️
Also, I picked this dresser up at a lovely home outside of town and they had goats they wanted to show the kids. Nice memory associated with this piece now!

I put up Christmas really early this year, which felt so good at the time and I’ve been really enjoying it but… I think I’m about ready to take it down. 😱 Feeling like a bad Christmas mom 😬 December 26, I am getting back on Hinge and taking down my Christmas decor. (They’re both on the calendar.) Wish me luck. 😜

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’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?

The one time of year we put our children’s toys out on display. It’s just ironic that this wrapping paper is so nice and the things inside it are so hot pink plastic! I appreciate the lovely disguising wrapping paper and yet this is also the most special holiday I have had with my kids and I’m so grateful to have these special people to give these obnoxious gifts to.❤️

Wearing real clothes on a Saturday, who am I?! Holiday cookie party bound. Loving this silk skirt and lightweight wool sweater.

I needed this quilt to be a bigger part of my life. Plus, an extra layer at the end of the bed this time of year is never a bad thing!
(Quilt is from @greenrow, all their stuff is more sustainably sourced and designed to last. And very cool looking.) #GreenRowLove

…when you realize you can replace those remnants of your 2019 style without redoing your bathroom

Fake rustic Target table out, beautiful dark wood turned leg table in!

#LTKHome

This is seriously the greatest thing ever this time of year. @postable has a ton of cute cards and other customizable gifts and they mail them to your address book for you! I’m so grateful to avoid the stress of the addressing and stamping, and just get to get the happy texts from friends and family who’ve received our card. Their prices are great and they ship fast.

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’ve honestly never decorated my bedroom until this year, but I am all about it now! It’s so fun to have something a little different for a month or two, plus I love the red and green with my peachy walls and preppy bed and bedding. Do you do this??

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKHome

Is it me or is it weird that there are trendy new stockings to buy every year? There are some very cute ones. But I thought having the same stocking every year was special to kids? Maybe the cute ones are just decorative. Maybe you just get new ones every few years, so only a couple times in their childhood. Maybe other people don’t care about this? What are stocking traditions like in your house?

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome

Been slowly swapping out the very mass produced, appealing-to-the-masses stuff, but it takes time! I’ve looked for an antique to replace this little table/stool but haven’t been able to find one. This one is from @mcgeeandco and it’s so sweet. I like the darker color in here (also comes in a lighter shade) I love the fun shape on the legs!

#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

OK but for real though. Should I get a frame TV? I’ve resisted for so long! 😬

This TV is about 43”. Think the same size would be good? They just feel so big! Honestly, it might take me until next Cyber Monday to decide. I resent how expensive they are. But would love to hear your thoughts!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Red and green, and… blue and white! Been seeing this combo around this year and I love it. Blue and white pottery for a little Christmas tree? French blue velvet ribbons? Why not! Have you seen this or tried it?

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

I don’t have “the perfect” garland link for you or any special tips. My fireplace mantel garland usually intimidates me so I procrastinate. I also usually have it lit with a string of standard Christmas lights, but they just look so plasticy now. Maybe I should do fairy lights? Or maybe just let it be woodsy. Do you do the same garland every year or different?

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Honestly, I have never decorated my bedroom for Christmas before… Why not?! It’s adding a lot of interest!

(Also, my headboard from @theinside is 25% off right now for Black Friday plus my code SS50 gets you another $50 off a purchase of $199 or more!)

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

I learned this from a podcast interview with an interior designer who specializes in doing people’s Christmas decorations for them. (Can you imagine hiring that out? 😲) Been doing it a couple years and it works great!

Linking my tree, candle string lights, wrapping paper (30% off!), and of course outlet timers that make it all possible below 😂❤️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday

Christmas is still a month away and already I have felt more joy this holiday season that I remember in a long time. Decorating the house for 4 and 6 year-olds, making their day with a Christmas muffin wrapper, listening to them sing Christmas songs they’ve memorized… What could be better. So grateful. 🙏❤️

Good things are on sale right now. These adorable nutcracker jammies from @petiteplume 25% off and everything at @riflepaperco including the wallpaper is 30% off for black Friday coming up.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday

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.

#LTKHome

Why not turn and under used closet/attic/funky room into something magical?!
Even in newer houses, sometimes there’s an unfinished or under utilized space under an eve or even just a closet that’s bigger than you need. Have you ever done something like this?

#LTKKids #LTKHome

Still not quite done decorating this tree, but I think I should get extra credit for using the clip on candles this year! I love the extra emphasis they add. Plus, this tree is pre-lit so with just the existing lights and the candles I didn’t need all my spools of old school string lights year! It was so much faster and easier to decorate!

Linking all my tree goodies I can below.

The wrapping paper, bows, and nutcracker ornaments are 30% off at rifle paper co with code CYBER30!

#LTKHoliday

I’ve been feeling very bored by my kitchen lately so I’m appreciating the interest the Christmas decor brings. Plus, how about that technique to keep my kids from playing with the mini Christmas houses? 😉😉 (Unintentional but it’s a benefit.)

Update: early sale access, use code CYBER30 for 30% off my mugs!

#LTKHoliday

I have been more excited about this Christmas season than I remember ever being. My kids and my home are some of my favorite things and watching their enthusiasm for Christmas music, decor, and traditions and enjoying the comfort of our home have been filling me with gratitude left and right. Childhood plus Christmas… Amazing.
This post is not sponsored, but these jammies are from @petiteplume and they’re doing their Black Friday sale right now, 25% off. These are the new nutcracker print which Lucy LOVES.
