Affordable Wall Decor Roundup
Finding the perfect piece for an empty wall above a coach, bed, or entry way can be challenging - and sometimes pricey! I wanted to do a roundup for some of my favorite wall decor that can be found at Target, Pottery Barn, or Wayfair and won’t break the bank. All pieces are $100 or less and will hopefully give you ideas for that empty wall you don’t know what to do with. Click any of the photos below to shop! Most of these coordinate perfectly together as well and can be mixed and matched in a room!

Minimal Spa-Like Master Bedroom Makeover
Here’s a sneak peek of a project I am currently finishing up. This super minimal and chic master bedroom makeover is giving me all the spa-like vibes! This client knew exactly what she wanted, which made my job super easy. I have never done such a simple, minimal design before but I really loved the process. One of the biggest challenges for the space was choosing the right white paint color that would coordinate with the existing trim color which was a little darker beige. Before all the walls in this house were a very pale yellow (very 90’s- check out the before photos below) and we are slowly changing them room by room. Keeping the trim color as-is is a huge money saver in the long run, especially since the actual paint was still in good condition.
My 10 Most Popular Posts of the Year
I always love looking through my blog analytics at the end of the year to see what posts were the most popular and what you loved most in the past year! This year there was a good mix of design, recipes, and home decor projects, as well as some home decor round-ups. My round-ups actually ended being two of the top three posts, so I definitely hope to do more of those in the coming year. You can find a list of the top 10 posts below as well as links back to the original posts if you missed them (click on the title or any of the photos to take you there too!).
DIY Salad Bar Board for a Crowd | Easy Entertaining Meal
I recently made this salad board for one of our Christmas parties and I’m kind of kicking myself that I hadn’t thought of this sooner! It really is such an easy way to entertain for a crowd and feed a lot of people without a lot of prep! It also works especially well if you have guests with certain food allergies, sensitivities, or preferences because everyone can make their own salad with the ingredients they want. This can also be customized a million different ways with all kinds of different ingredients! Mine leans more towards an Italian salad with the ingredients but there are so many different possibilities for this!
Christmas Tree Antipasto Board
What’s more festive (and delicious) than a Christmas tree antipasto platter? It’s so quick and easy to put together and perfect for your holiday entertaining! I’m listing all the ingredients and instructions below but you can totally customize this one with lots of different ingredients! I choose a couple salamis, 3 cheeses, olives, and peppers and layered into a Christmas tree shape! Finish with some fresh thyme and rosemary spread throughout for garnish and use a star cookie cutter to cut out a piece of cheese for the top!
