Shop the Mood Board: Affordable Modern Farmhouse Living Room
I put this mood board together for a client this week and thought it might be helpful to share so you all can see a little behind the scenes of the design process! I hope to start sharing these more often with all the links to shop the pieces in case you want to pull a similar look together. These picks are for a simple modern farmhouse living space full of affordable pieces (mostly from Target). I’ve done all the work for you so there’s no guesswork about things matching or coordinating together! This look is timeless and comfortable- perfect for a big family house or small apartment or condo! Shop all the ingredients for creating this exact look below-
Coffee Table Styling LIVE
Last week I went LIVE for the first time on my Instagram to share a quick and easy coffee table styling video! I also took some decorating questions from those following too. It was so much fun and I will definitely be doing it again soon. What other tutorials would you like to see? You can find the full replay of the live video below and most everything I used is available for purchase at Paxton Home (shop online here).

Entryway Refresh: Before + After
As you might have seen on my Instagram, I gave my entryway a little “refresh” right before Christmas! I wanted to modernize the space a bit on a budget and while it’s still a work in progress, I’m loving the updates so far! I was able to find the perfect entryway table at The Domestic in Lexington and gave it a makeover with some paint. I also used the magic light trick to add sconces to the wall on each side of this new round mirror which really gave the space a clean, modern look (find the full post about how to do that HERE!). As far as accessories and finishing touches, I feel like that may be something I continue to update seasonally. I’m still not sold on the bench at the end of the space, but it works for now.
Office Renovation Update
I’ve been updating this big “bonus room” space above our garage into an office/workspace for client meetings, creative projects, crafting, sewing, and more. You might have seen updates about this space when I shared about my DIY Marble-Looking Countertops and I’m so excited to share the progress that has been made since then. I still have a lot more projects in mind for this space but it has come so far from the nasty carpet and ceiling fan room seen in the “before” pictures below! I am finally able to work and enjoy this space and am having so much fun putting the finishing touches on everything. Check out more before and after pictures below!
The Best Budget-Friendly Neutral Rugs
Rugs are a perfect way to cozy up a room, add some touches of color or pattern, and tie the space together. However, rugs can be expensive and usually are one of the hardest elements to narrow down just the right look for your space. Today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite neutral rugs that are all under $300 and come in sizes at least 5’x7’ or larger!
Modern Eclectic Bungalow Bathroom Renovation: Before + After
Today I’m excited to share this modern, eclectic bathroom renovation I designed and completed for a client. The impact we were able to make on this relatively small space is pretty incredible. We had to basically reconfigure the entire space due to the location of the toilet being permanent and the client wanting a walk in shower instead of tub. Due to the slanted ceilings (this home is a bungalow so this upstairs has kind of an attic space feel), we had to get creative with the layout! We ended up using the slanted ceiling as part of the shower and putting the shower on the right side of the bathroom as soon as you walk in. We made the sink the first thing you see straight ahead from the door and then were also able to add a little storage nook in the corner too!
Little Boy's Classic Americana Nautical Bedroom
If you’ve been following along with my design projects over the past year, you may remember this sweet little girl’s room update with gingham bedding and floral wallpaper. Next up, it was her brother’s turn for a little room revamp! We updated this little boy’s bedroom with some wallpaper, sconces, and a few pieces of wall decor to pull everything together and give it a little more of a grown-up feel that he will be able to continue to grow into! I love how the "faux shiplap” wallpaper turned out and you really would never know it’s not real until you get super close! Instead of lamps, we added these brass sconces which go perfectly with the nautical theme of the bedroom.
