Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 6 | Laundry Room
I recently finished a mini makeover of my laundry room that I shared on the blog a few months ago. In addition to adding a laundry counter and some shelving, I also focused on getting all my cleaning supplies organized and minimizing what I keep in this area. Since our laundry room doubles as our mudroom and is in a pretty visible area of our home, it was super important that all my laundry supplies not only be organized, but look semi attractive too. I removed as much as I could from packages and transferred a lot of my cleaning products to glass jars. This is such a simple solution but really makes all the difference when organizing not only your laundry room, but also your kitchem pantry, and even linen closet. I've listed my top tips for getting started on organizing your laundry room as well as my favorite jars, crates, and organizers below!
6 Delicious Deviled Egg Recipes
With Easter approaching this weekend, I decided to round up some unique and delicious ways to serve Easter brunch's most popular dish- deviled eggs. In the south, deviled eggs are a staple potluck item year round. I've included the classic southern recipe below, but also 5 different twists on the dish with different toppings and flavors. All are equally delicious and create quite a beautiful display when arranged all together!
Spring Chambray Smocked Dress
When it comes to spring dresses, I especially love long-sleeved options to bridge the gap between spring and summer. This chambray smocked dress from ASOS is the perfect transitional spring piece with such a sweet vintage flair. I love the bell sleeves and the overall laidback silhouette of this dress and I know I'll be wearing it a ton from spring and even into summer. You can shop my chambray dress as well as a few of my favorite kitchen decor pieces seen in this post below! Happy Spring!
5 Easy Ways to Update your Living Room for Spring
The time of year that is most challenging for me in decorating is definitely the January and February months. I've packed up all my holiday decor but it's still a little too early for full-blown spring colors and accessories. This year I was able to bridge the gap a little easier by incorporating some pale pastels and lots of layered neutral textures into my living room to bridge the gap between January and the beginning of spring. As spring as crept closer, I've continued updating and adding more spring touches and accessories throughout the space. I'm loving the feel of all the pale neutrals, layered textures, and pops of green- a little boho and a little farmhouse style overall. I also got a new coffee table which I'm loving as it totally has the perfect modern farmhouse look. Below I've listed a few easy eays to update your living room decor for spring while still keeping it super cozy! Take a look at how I gave my living room a little mini makeover to wake it up after the winter months!
Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 5 | Makeup, Beauty Products, + Vanity
The next area up on my home organization tour is my vanity where I store all my beauty products + makeup. This is one of the most fun areas in my opinion to get organized, but also can be the most challenging for many women. As always the key to tackling this space is purging. I know I probably have a lot less makeup than most, but I also use everything I have, and if I don't like something or if something is empty or old, I toss it immediately. If you have a lot more makeup/beauty products than I do, there are a ton of great organizing options linked below too with lots of drawers, dividers, and stackers that you can combine to contain your entire collection. Also don't be afraid to think outside of the box when shopping for organizers. I love to use vintage pieces like cake plates, mirror trays, milkglass vases, and/or glass jars to contain items, especially on top of your vanity.

Laidback Lilac
I've found the perfect transitional top to tide you over through the last few weeks (hopefully) of chilly weather. This oversized thermal can be worn a variety of ways and is so soft and cozy! I love the knotted look but you can also wear it buttoned all the way down, or layer over a tee or cami and unbutton it like a cardigan. It comes in a variety of colors but this springy lilac was my favorite (although I'm sure I'll be snagging one or two more colors soon!). You can shop all my outfit details linked above + below!
