    How to Fake an English Cottage Living Room Without Giving Up Your Modern Comforts

    I used to think a cozy Cottage Living Room was just for old people who wear too many knitted sweaters and talk about the weather. Then I moved into a place that had, well, no personality. So, I dove headfirst into the world of Cottagecore Living Room vibes—because nothing says “I’ve got my life together”…

    Summer Wedding Color Palettes to Make Your Cousins Jealous

    I once helped a friend plan her Summer Wedding Color Palette and thought I was walking into a Pinterest picnic. Spoiler: it was more like a color-coded identity crisis with glitter. She had 43 swatches taped to her fridge, her fiancé had opinions about the difference between peach and dusty peach (he was wrong), and…

    You Know You’re Fancy When Your Mother’s Day Tea Party Looks Like a Royal Wedding

    I once planned a Mother’s Day Tea Party and thought it’d be this calm, graceful affair where everyone sipped politely and complimented my tea party table settings like I was the queen of high tea. What I got instead was a toddler pouring milk into my purse, a guest asking if “finger sandwiches” meant she…

    Coffee Bar Station Ideas to Pretend You’re an Interior Designer

    There was a brief moment when I thought a Keurig shoved into a pantry corner counted as a coffee bar. I was wrong. So wrong. Then I started browsing coffee bar ideas online—home coffee stations, coffee nook setups, coffee bar decor, the whole caffeine-fueled circus—and realized I’d accidentally been disrespecting coffee my entire adult life.…

  • When Your Pink Garden Is Just One Big Flex That Everyone Needs To See

    When Your Pink Garden Is Just One Big Flex That Everyone Needs To See

    There was a brief moment last spring where I decided my entire personality was going to revolve around a pink garden. Not a normal, responsible-person garden with neat little rows and muted colors—no, I wanted climbing roses, pink hydrangeas, and an aggressive number of peonies. It started with one David Austin catalog and ended with…

    Summer Baby Shower Ideas That Will Make You the Hero of the Party

    I once went to a summer baby shower that was so hot, I thought I might actually witness someone melt into the backyard grass. It had everything—balloon garlands, tropical centerpieces, a mimosa bar that mocked the mom-to-be by being off-limits, and enough baby shower cookies shaped like onesies to feed a small army. But you…

    Red Kitchen Decor: Ready to Turn Your Kitchen Into a Power Move?

    Red kitchens are not for the weak. They are for people who wake up in the morning and choose vibrance. They are for people who take one look at a beige kitchen and think, Wow, is this where joy comes to die? I used to have one of those “tasteful” kitchens—neutral walls, neutral cabinets, neutral…

    Blue And Pink Bedroom for Adults – Soft, Subtle, and So Much Better Than Your Teen Years

    There was a time when I thought a blue and pink bedroom meant one thing: the gender reveal party that never ended. Baby shower chic. Cotton candy explosion. A crime scene where pastels went to die. But then I stumbled upon the world of pink and blue room ideas that actually looked cool. Dreamy rooms…

    Movie Theater Rooms: Perfect for Watching Movies, Pretending You’re Fancy, and Avoiding Humans

    I made the mistake of watching a movie in my living room once. Just once. The lights were on, the sound was weak, and my neighbor’s car alarm made a guest appearance in the most dramatic scene. Never again. That’s when I decided my house needed a theatre room—a home cinema room so ridiculously good,…

    So You Want a Japandi Bathroom with Bathtub? Here’s How to Look Fancy Without Trying

    There was a time when I thought a bathroom was just… a bathroom. A sink, a toilet, a shower—basic, functional, nothing to write home about. Then I stumbled across Japandi bathrooms, and suddenly, my bathroom felt like a fluorescent-lit gas station compared to the zen-like bathrooms I kept seeing. Japandi interiors somehow make a simple…

    Garden Nook Goals: Turning Your Backyard Into a Spot You’ll Actually Use

    I had a garden nook once. Well, sort of. It was more like a small courtyard garden that I aggressively called my outdoor reading nook even though it was really just a chair shoved in a corner next to some half-dead potted plants. The dream was there, though—a cozy garden seating area where I could…

    Garden Gates So Gorgeous, Even the Nosy Neighbors Will Approve

    A garden gate is a simple thing, right? A door for the yard. A little entryway that keeps the dog in, the neighbors out, and the raccoons… well, raccoons do whatever they want. But let’s be real.

    Courtyard Ideas & Outdoor Courtyard Design: Impress Your Neighbors or At Least Fake It

    I thought I understood outdoor courtyard design—until I got one. Then suddenly, I was knee-deep in courtyard garden design ideas, debating French courtyard versus modern courtyard, as if I were some kind of landscape architect. Spoiler: I am not. My first attempt at a backyard courtyard oasis? Let’s just say it involved a plastic chair,…
