(Even If You Haven’t Read a Book Since the Last Twilight Movie Came Out) So here’s how this started: I saw one of those perfectly styled reading nooks on Instagram—the kind with a chunky knit blanket, a steaming mug, and somehow no visible outlets or tangled chargers. I immediately decided I needed one. Not wanted. … Read more
(Without Buying a Driftwood Coffee Table or Moving to Nantucket) So here’s how this started: I decided I wanted a “coastal chic” living room. You know, light, airy, Serena-and-Lily-ish, like maybe I casually collect sea glass and my dog’s name is Skipper. The problem? I live nowhere near the coast. And my living room looked … Read more
Let’s be real: grass is dramatic. It drinks too much, browns out if you look at it wrong, and turns into a patchy disaster the second you skip a week of watering. After fighting with our lawn for way too long (and losing), we finally ripped it out last spring and tried something different. The … Read more
Hey. So. Let’s talk curtains. Specifically, how they somehow cost more than my grocery bill and still manage to look like a wrinkled sheet if you so much as breathe wrong while hanging them. This all started last October, when the sun hit just right (aka directly in my eyeballs during every single Zoom call), … Read more
Let’s be honest—fridge organization always looks easy on Instagram. But in real life? One rogue takeout container and suddenly it’s chaos. Last summer, I opened my fridge looking for hummus and found a wilted bag of lettuce from (I wish I was joking) February. That was my wake-up call. So I finally got serious about … Read more
Let’s set the scene: it’s raining, you’re juggling groceries, and you open the door—only to be met with a sad, chaotic entryway closet that hasn’t seen daylight (or organization) since 2019. Yeah, that was me last winter. I used to think my entryway closet was too small to be useful. Spoiler: I was wrong. After … Read more
Alright, confession time: I have way too many mugs. Like, “how do I even drink this much coffee?” levels of mug overload. Between the cute ones from Target, the souvenir mugs from random road trips, and the one that says “Don’t Even Talk to Me Yet”—my cabinet was stuffed. And not in a charming way. … Read more
Okay bestie, let’s be real for a sec. If your living room isn’t giving main character energy, what are we even doing? I used to think “aesthetic” meant overpriced candles and one lonely faux plant. But after deep-diving into baddie decor TikTok (and several shopping regrets later), I figured out how to make my space … Read more
Look, I’m not gonna lie—my closet used to be an absolute disaster. Like, “I found a single flip-flop from 2017 and a winter coat I swore I donated” kind of disaster. Last spring, after one too many mornings yelling “where the hell is my other sock?!”, I finally tackled it. I tried all the Pinterest … Read more
Hey, so… if you have a brown sofa, chances are you either (a) inherited it, (b) bought it thinking it was “neutral” but now regret it, or (c) have pets/kids/spouse who make white furniture a terrible idea. Been there. Two years ago, I bought a gorgeous chocolate brown sectional on sale. Thought I was being … Read more
