To me, by far the best thing about living in the Northeast is seasons. Although my tolerance of the cold continues to decrease with age, there's something so special and refreshing about the start of a new season. And when it comes to the seasons, I'm a firm believer that fall is the best. Maybe it's my love of college football or maybe it's my love of all things pumpkin, but there's this excitement that comes each September as temperatures begin to drop and leaves start to change.

OUR HOME OFFICE DESIGN PLAN & INSPIRATION
Ever since we completed our guest room makeover, I've been more motivated than ever to finish more rooms in our home. We are definitely members of the 95% club - we have a bad habit of completing about 95% of a room in a reasonable amount of time and taking months (or years) to finish that pesky last five percent. Now that our guest bathroom project is almost complete (all that's left to do is get a new toilet installed, and we're waiting a bit for that), I've been going back and forth about which room to complete next. Although...

THE BEST FALL DECOR UNDER $25
When it comes to decorating my home for fall, I like to take a more subtle approach by focusing on cozy textures, warm colors, and seasonal florals. I wrote this fall blog post 4 years ago, but I still stand by my recommendations for how to make your home feel like fall. A little plaid, some fall-colored florals, and cozy fabrics and textures can go a long way, but I still can’t say no to a few cute glass pumpkins. As I was hunting for some additions to my fall decor collection, I rounded up some of my favorite fall...

8 ELEMENTS TO MAKE EVERY ROOM FEEL COMPLETE
I’ve had an interest in interior design for as long as I can remember. As an adolescent, I frequently spent my allowance or Christmas money on a new comforter or new decor for my room, and in high school I got my fix by poring over the pages of Domino magazine, tearing out pages that were extra inspiring. Along the way, I’ve picked up a lot of tips and tricks for making a house into a home. Now that I have my own home, I’ve learned even more. As I work to finish that pesky last 5% in many of...

OUR GUEST ROOM DESIGN PLAN & INSPIRATION
Our guest room is probably the room that most reflects my changing taste in interiors over the last few years and as a result, it’s gone through the most iterations of any room in our house since we moved in. When we first moved in, I envisioned a neutral room with dark furniture. We already had a black metal bed frame that I loved and some secondhand IKEA nightstands from the guest room of our condo, so I used that as my starting point. I added my favorite Loloi rug and our old IKEA dresser from the main bedroom of...

THE BEST OF THE TARGET SPRING HOME COLLECTION
It's no secret that, like every other basic woman, I'm obsessed with Target. However, I do not have an endless supply of money, so I've mastered the art of window shopping. My Target is close enough to walk to (I don't because there aren't sidewalks and I'm lazy, but still), so during non-quarantine times I typically go to Target at least once a week. My favorite section is definitely the home decor section, and Target's selection just keeps getting better. I love seeing product roundups from design bloggers I follow, so I thought I'd throw together one of my own.
