Madison Park Anaheim Cabin Plaid … curated on LTK

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 posted this reel because I’m very excited about how I use these natural wicker baskets to carry laundry instead of plastic. They look and feel so much nicer, and I’ve found three of them thrift stores over the past few years for $3-5 each. But the Internet was very offended that I care so much about the aesthetics of my laundry, and confused about why I said it was $4 when they seem much more expensive where they live (I don’t think they read the caption that it was thrifted).
-Others didn’t like that I was getting rid of one thing in favor of another because it’s wasteful. (I still use the plastic one in my garage, but a thorough understanding of the situation is not really what IG and Facebook comments are for.)
-I also got some comments disgusted at the fact that my laundry is near my bed. (This is clean laundry, and it was for a video…)
-Finally, some people commented that the wicker ones are harder to clean or can get caught on clothes… The Internet is also not familiar with the concept, “To each their own.” 🙃
Honestly, I may have more offensive swaps in 2025! I love natural products instead of plastic!

Oh, and ironically, I did find one of these for under $10 online! Linked along with other bedroom items in my LTK.

Enjoying this cute new workout set! Nice and thick, runs a little on the small side. Love the colors, including this red!

This corner of my couch is probably my favorite spot in the house. And now I can actually see my decor books when I have my quiet Sunday morning reading time! 💡 I was picky replacing that vintage lamp and this one does not disappoint! This antique brass is so much better than the brushed plasicky-looking stuff you find in the big box stores. 🙌

Last summer I shared about how I swapped this faux stoneware Target sugar bowl, which went with my 2019 semi earthy/industrial contemporary kitchen remodel, for something more classic like I’m leaning now. Instagram and facebook showed it to 1 million+ people who did not understand why I would care so much to post about a sugar bowl. The comments ranged from, “But the first one goes better” to assuming I put the first one in the literal trash to “I hope you never have children” (that’s the only one I deleted) to “Xylitol is deadly to dogs.” It was the first time I had had so many comments from people who were so angry at me, and I started by providing thoughtful debate type responses to them, but soon learned that that was not how you deal with Internet haters. 🫠 There is a very important conversation to have about style/home feeling, waste, aesthetics, and how we weigh those values, but I don’t think the comments of an Instagram post that they spent a few seconds absorbing is where to have it. Neither is this post, I can’t do it justice here.

But those of you who are interested in adding some classic blue and white instead of the big box stuff of the past few years, I’ve been enjoying this one! I’ve been looking for them at antique stores for a long time and just haven’t found anything that works quite as well.

My favorite project of 2024 took forever and really weighed on me when I wasn’t sure how to finish it. But I love it so much now! This is my guestroom/office and it gets great light in the afternoons, and I love working in here, trying on clothes here, and just seeing it when I walk past it.

#LTKHome

Real talk. Just took this garland down and peeled off some paint and whatever this wall is made of off it. Added a chore to my winter break list. 🫤 But I still get to enjoy this cozy bedding!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

How is it that in 6.5 years of parenting no one has ever told me how hard it is to make a bunkbed… and somehow it didn’t occur to me until I was putting on all this cute matching bedding that my 4 and 6-year-olds do not make the bed themselves—it’s all me climbing up there. (I have been teaching them to strip the sheets, but that only gets us halfway there.)
This adorable crisp cotton percale bedding is from @petiteplume and I linked other sources in this post in LTK!

Too cute not to post. 👩‍🍳 We are so close to the most magical day of the year! Fitting in some extra Christmas activities this morning and I can’t wait to fill the stockings tonight! What’s your favorite Christmas Eve tradition?

#LTKKids #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

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. 😜

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

My Christmas decorating style has come a long way in the past 5 years 😳

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

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?!

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!

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.

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

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!
