I couldn't be more excited to share this post. As you know, decorating and home staging are my absolute favorite hobbies. It's been two years since I did a holiday home tour, so I am that much more excited to show you around. Keep in mind, we are renting- so please don't judge the paint colors and other things out of my control. (Ha.) …
Who’s got their house decked out for Halloween?! I’ll be honest, I typically don’t go all out for Halloween decor (I usually stick to basic autumn accents), but I wanted to try something new this year. I thought the best place to make “spooky” was the entryway. (I love a good themed entryway, y’all.) I have said before that an entryway is the first impression of the home and the most seen part of my house. I had so much…
Decorating and styling my home has become my very favorite hobby. When I am stressed or need to decompress; organizing/decorating/cleaning is actually my favorite fix. Weird, huh? My friends like to laugh about the fact that most of my home decor is neutral. My husband has even said (on multiple occasions) that my house is “50 Shades of Grey”. All areas of my house are, for the most part, color neutral. It was especially important for me to use Neutral…
Y’all know I love a good mantel. In fact, I am pretty sure I have quite a few examples on Instagram if you look under the hashtag #typicalkatieathome. This year, I am lacking in the time and creative energy department, so I wanted to do something super simple for the fall season. Last year, we didn’t have a mantel- so you might remember me styling a bench, instead!…
This post is sponsored by Tandus-Centiva (A Tarkett Company), all opinions are my own. I have always been really big on making sure my bedroom was a cozy place to retreat. Nine times out of ten, it’s the only place where I can really take a breather and escape the stresses of the day. Did you know that your bedroom atmosphere GREATLY affects your ability to relax and get good sleep? It’s true! (If my kids slept through the night,…
This post was sponsored by Wayfair. All opinions are mine. Hello, friends! You know how much I love a good decor project. I especially love “challenges”. Challenging myself to makeover a space within a certain budget is SO fun for me. Since we moved into a new house in January, I have had the most fun planning spaces and watching my ideas come to life.…
Oh, hi friends! It’s been forever since I have had a room reveal on the blog. This time, it’s baby Lincoln’s turn to to show off his digs. You guys know how much I love basics and neutrals… Well, almost EIGHT months after Lincoln arrived, I finally have a simple baby boy nursery reveal on the blog! There aren’t a ton of bells and whistles, just like I like it. Bonus: it’s very budget friendly.…
This post was sponsored by Jasco via Acorn Influence. All opinions are mine. As most of you know, we moved into an apartment this summer. Less space has definitely been an adjustment. One of the trickiest things for me was reworking all my decor and furniture. Without getting rid of too much, I had to figure out how to decorate a much smaller space and not simultaneously clutter it more. I truly love having cozy gathering spaces in my home.…
Fact: I’m obsessed with all things colorless. My husband says my house is fifty shades of beige. But here’s the thing, I love it. Neutral never feels like an over-commitment to any particular color scheme, and it always feels fresh, clean, and relaxing. The most serene place in my home is always the bedrooms. I have found some really great decor pieces over the years and I love growing that scheme. Right now, we are sharing a room with the…
I love festive Autumn decor just as much as the next girl, but I wanted to to give a few hints on how to decorate for the season in a more subtle way. As in, you don’t have to go crazy with themed items to make your home feel cozy for the Fall. In fact, I always prefer to do as many neutral items as possible so that I can use them in some way, year round. Find a spot…
Monochrome kids rooms are really popular right now. They are modern and clean and classy. When we downsized to our apartment, it was important to me that Grayson keep his own space. Tyler and I are only in our room to sleep, and both babies are too young to care about sharing rooms, so we aren’t picky with where we ended up. However, Grayson is at an age where he values privacy and independence. A lot. He also has quite…
This post is sponsored by The Motherhood and Mouse and Magpie. All opinions are mine. Grayson, my oldest, just returned a few days ago from his first experience at sleep-away summer camp. He was gone for a whole week, y’all! He’s been dying to go ever since he was much younger and watched TV shows and movies about camp. He’s always been quite the independent kid and never afraid to venture out for new experiences. (Sounds like someone else I…
This post was sponsored by Jasco via Acorn Influence. All opinions are mine. Summer nights are upon us, y’all! Probably my favorite part about this season in California is the cool evenings outside. We are actually in a heat wave right now that is driving me to insanity, but the saving grace is how nice it gets at night. The house we are currently renting has a perfect space for lounging, so I recently added a patio set. The only…
