THE BEST AREA RUGS UNDER $250
You know how when you become an adult, you learn that there are certain things that are way more expensive than you ever thought possible? Like, why do good throw pillows cost $50??? That's how I felt about area rugs when I first began decorating my first apartment.

OUR KITCHEN DESIGN PLAN & INSPIRATION
One of the many reasons that I loved our house right away was because when I stepped into each room, it was like I could instantly picture its potential. The kitchen was no exception - the minute I saw it, I pictured white cabinets, pretty brushed brass fixtures, marble countertops, and an organic subway tile backsplash.

MY FAVORITE PURCHASES | SUMMER 2020
Happy Monday! It might be 80 degrees outside today, but the forecast for the rest of the week is looking delightfully fall-y. Now that September has almost come to a close and it's actually starting to feel like fall, I thought it would be a great time to share some of my favorite products that I purchased over the summer.

MY PICKS FROM STUDIO MCGEE’S NEW TARGET COLLECTION
At the end of last month I found out that all my decor dreams were coming true - my favorite designer, Studio McGee, announced a multi-year collaboration with Target. I've been a fan of Studio McGee for years. I absolutely love their unique style and all of their products are such great quality, but sadly most of them are out of my current price range. Still, a gal can dream, and my home decor Pinterest board is filled with great pieces from Studio McGee. Now that their Target collection is live, I'm so excited to see so many affordable items...

THE BEST COFFEE TABLE BOOKS FOR STYLING
It's probably pretty clear by now that I have a passion for interior design, and hands down my favorite part of design is styling. Give me a good set of shelves and I can spend hours playing around and styling them fifty different ways. And with my love of styling has come a love of coffee table books. I'm a sucker for functional decor, and coffee table books are just that. They're great for anchoring smaller decorative objects and creating a cohesive look, but they're also perfect to thumb through while re-watching The Office for the 17th time.

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.

MY FAVORITE PURCHASES | WINTER 2020
Happy Tuesday, friends! For the second time recently - long time no see! Between work, travel, and planning for the future, life has been pretty hectic lately. But like everyone else, I've been forced to slow down over the past couple of weeks due to everything going on with COVID-19. I'm a person who actually likes going into the office, so between being cooped up at home and gaining almost 2 hours back in each weekday because I'm not commuting right now, I've felt more of an urge to be creative than I have in months. The timing just feels...

5 EASY WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME FEEL LIKE FALL
Happy October, friends! Despite the fact that it's supposed to hit 90 degrees here in Northern Virginia today, I have fall on the brain. Fall is my favorite season - football is back, the trees outside are turning the prettiest shades of orange and yellow, and everything just feels cozier. However, it can be a little harder to get into the fall spirit when the temperature is above 80 well into October. So I thought I'd share some easy tips on how to make your home feel like fall (even when it doesn't feel like it outside). Read on to...
