Luxe Living for Less
Spring is a fickle friend when it comes to weather, but we’ve had a couple of great warm weather days lately which inspired this post. Last weekend we decided to hit the beach for a simple beach picnic for Mother’s Day. Also, I love me some rides, so I thought a trip to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was in order! Perfect way to celebrate in my opinion.

So, big news! We moved! We closed on a house a couple of months ago and we finally moved in. We’re still unpacking and trying to put things away, but we’re slowly getting there. I thought it would be a good idea to take it one room at a time until we’ve worked our way through the entire house. The living room is the first room you see upon entering, so I thought that would be the perfect place to start. Once everything has been stowed away, the fun part begins: time to decorate!
I don’t know about you folks…but outdoor furniture and decor has been on my mind. I know, I know the weather has been a little funky…but sunny weather is just around the corner, I can feel it! I’m jonesing for some backyard makeovers. And it definitelyย helps when of my favorite stores and sponsors:ย World Market decides to through an outdoor sale: 20% off and free shipping over $65 with code SUNNY. The sale ends April 23rd, but I’m sure things will be selling out, so don’t wait too long!
Have you seen some of their newest outdoor collections? They’re crazy good. I really, really want that sofa! SO good. I also have an eye on that chic citronella candle setup. Love that it looks good and serves purpose too! Here are some more of my outdoor favorites for spring:

My kids and I saw the new Peter Rabbit last Sunday. It was cute, feel good kid’s movie with shenanigans that reminded me of old-school cartoons. The kids loved it, so when World Market asked if I’d be interested in showcasing their new Peter Rabbit collection, I thought it would be fun to set up an easy, simple Easter-style brunch. I like to keep presentation and entertaining relatively simple. It’ a lot of work cooking, cleaning, decorating, etc! Why not keep things clean, appealing and functional? That’s my motto.
So I came up with this cute, minimalist table setup for the kid’s and a couple of their neighbor-friends.
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 ๐ 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!
Have you guys seen World Market’s huge furniture sale? It’s going on right now and prices are GOOD. I mean…they’re always good at World Market. But they’re crazy good right now. All of their furniture is on major discount, some up to 5o% off! AND you can get an extra 10% off your purchase and free shipping over $100 with the code: JANSALE
I’ve been thinking it’s time to replace our dining table – after 12 years, I think it’s time, don’t you?! So I’ve been eyeing some of those beauties over at World Market. Marble and brass? WOW. And I love just a round dining table…We’ll see! And don’t miss that gorgeous sofa for only $650!
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted a living room update over here. The wall you can’t see is actually where my desk used to be. We’ve mixed things up recently and I’m pretty excited about the changes.
I loved having my desk and being able to work in the living room. It’s such a beautiful, airy space, but it got pretty old trying to keep my deskย functionalย AND looking pretty all the time. I figured it was time to relocate it elsewhere. I missed having this corner tied into the rest of the living room.
When I was offered a chance to receive the latest Samsung Frame TV I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to rework this corner. We had only one TV, hidden away in our family room, and I’ve always hesitated adding a TV to the living room. I didn’t want a huge, black screen taking away from the room’s character. The Frame solved that dilemma perfectly – I can have a TV in the room without it looking obvious. In fact, it looks like a piece of art, and was designed in collaboration with designer Yvesย Beฬhar to be exactly that. It is the perfect accessory for the space.

Who gets stumped on stocking stuffers every year? This girl. I always debate with what sort of goodies to put in there. When I was little I always received smaller but substantial gifts in my stocking. My husband’s family took a more practical approach: socks, underwear, toiletries…I like to make sure the stockings have some whimsy in them though, so I like to put things like small toys, games, a sweet or two. I try to limit the the amount of toys we take in though. As you all know they tend to take over if you let them! For the Mr, I like to include a fun toy or two, something he wouldn’t think of buying for himself. And for the women? Well, I think a little pampering is in order.
I recently visited my local World Market, I just love how much variety they have. They really make it so easy for you. They have something for everyone toys to gourmet chocolates. My stocking stuffer shopping is now complete. If only I could say the same for Christmas gifts….
