Easy Shelf Styling Basics + Printable Guide
Whether it’s a built-in piece, bookcase, or shelves framing a fireplace, shelf styling can set the tone for a room, but can also be challenging! Today on the blog, I break down shelf styling into a few easy steps that you can implement in your space.
When styling, focus on balance, layering, and variation. The shelf needs to appear visually balanced and “equal” on each point of the center line. Also make sure you’re laying pieces in front and behind each other while incorporating elements of different heights and sizes.

3 Summer Centerpieces for your Outdoor Entertaining
Today I’ve teamed up with Gordmans to put together 3 different summer centerpieces perfect for all your outdoor entertaining! I love to entertain outside during the summer and one of the keys to a beautiful spread is a pretty centerpiece- whether it be on you dining table or serving table. All 3 of these centerpieces are super quick and easy to put together and every single item I’m using came from my Lexington Gordmans store! Even better, the total of all the items together was less than $150 and these are all items you can use again and again both in your indoor and outdoor decor. All three styles are fun and summery but each slightly different: a preppy and colorful ginger jar arrangement, a simple, neutral boho arrangement, and a natural, beachy arrangement.
Summer Porch 2019
I feel like I say this every year, but this really IS my favorite porch yet! I usually do lots of pattern and color all over but this year I decided to do a lot of cream, white, and neutrals with just a few small colorful pops! I recovered all my patio cushions using drop cloth and I could not love the finished product more (I’ll be doing a separate blogpost with more details on this too!). A lot of the newer items I added were from Target’s Magnolia Hearth + Hand line and I love the slightly retro and classic feel of them. Shop my favorite pieces and new additions and check out more of my porch details below!
