Luxe Living for Less
It’s the last day of September, have you transitioned to Fall yet? We’re just starting to get cooler weather the last couple of days, so I’m starting to feel it! Fall is my favorite season ever and even though we’re in the midst of tearing up the kitchen and putting it back together (you can see more on my Instagram stories!), I still had to put some fall touches around the house!

That’s right…I said it. You’ve seen it though, right? Beige is back. AND it’s better than ever. Warm neutrals have been all over the place lately and I’m rolling out the welcome wagon. I’ve always loved color tones, but you really need some warmer hues to balance them out. Ivory has always been a regular, but the new updated tones of beige are really making a huge comeback!
We have the cutest little reading nook in our house on the second floor landing. After putting the kids down at night, I like to lay there and read a bit while I wait for them to settle down for the night. It’s such a great spot and has a nice view of the surrounding hills. It’s also a great little perch for watching the sun set. I’m not the only one who loves to sit there though, Arden loves curling up there with a good book too. In fact I often find open books propped just so…in fact the book in these pictures was left there by her and I figured I’d leave it for the photos!
Both the kids are off this week for winter vacation. I don’t know about you, but when the kids are off…there is definitely no vacation going on – for me at least 😉 So I find myself thinking of ways to sneak a little down time in. It doesn’t take much; a nice, soothing cup of warm tea. A hot, scented bath, even a quick minute for a couple of drops of essential oil makes a difference. I like setting up opportunities for little peaceful moments around the house. They help me keep my peace of mind in the midst of the chaos (that is kids). Here are some of my favorite picks at World Market. As you all know, World Market is one of my favorite places to shop. They always seem to have what you need – no matter how random it is. I even found some white sage there on my last trip!

These aren’t your grandma’s dining room chairs. Actually, come to think of it, they could be! Adding mid century chairs to your dining room table is an easy way to bring the dining room up to modern speed while also giving a nod toward the retro era we love. Choose one, like in Becca Stephen’s beautiful room above, or mix and match for a casual look.

The holidays are a wonderful time to gather friends and family around the dinner table and soak up each others company. To make guests feel special, yet relaxed, trying mixing fancy pieces (hello, crystal goblets) with laid back choices (looking at you, paper placemats). Add some candlelight and natural elements from the wintery outdoors and you’re all set for a festive evening of holiday entertaining!

‘Tis the season to celebrate and be merry isn’t it? It’s the perfect time to plan some festivities with your loved ones. Unfortunately, Christmas time is also when you throwing lots of cash down on gifts and let’s not forget holiday decorations or even the Christmas tree! That all adds up, right? Those Christmas trees are shockingly expensive. I don’t know about you, but in my household there’s not much money allocated to throwing anything fancy. So my answer? Having a holiday dessert open house! I set up a nice display of traditional holiday desserts and have an open house for friends and family to stop by. Nothing too formal, but just perfectly festive enough! I collaborated with World Market and my whole how-to is over on the World Market Discover blog. They have such a great selection of holiday goodies for GREAT prices. I set up the whole dessert buffet for less than $50! Talk about easy and budget-friendly! I’ve posted some pictures of it below, but click on over to their blog for more details!
