Luxe Living for Less
Our front stoop was looking pretty sad and droopy. I hadn’t really done much with it since we moved in, so I figured it was time to give a lil sprucing up for the holidays! It was about time to make a good first impression. My old doormat was in definite need of a replacement and I feel like it’s not the holidays until a wreath is hanging on the front door, am I right? 🙂
You might all remember peeking at what the living room looked like right after we moved in, and a little bit later on, and it worked for the moment. It was all furniture from the old house, and pieces I loved, but it didn’t really work for our new, more petite, living room. For one thing you opened the front door and would knock right into either the sofa arm or you’d get stuck on the rug (which was a teensy bit too big). It took me a few months of deliberation and seeing how we use the space, or need to use the space. And not to mention, lots of different room plans! But I finally came up with a design that both the Mr and I agreed on and one that would work well for us as a family.
World Market’s Friends and Family sale starts today for the general public. Friends & Family sales are always some of my favorite times to shop. And 30% off* sounds pretty enticing, doesn’t it? It runs from Oct. 5th until Oct. 8th so only a few days to grab what you need at a steep discount! Here’s the code:Â FAMFRIENDS30.
Had your eye on a big ticket item? Now’s definitely the time to pull the trigger! I’m looking for some living room furniture right now. We completely cleared it out and are starting over with clean slate. Always exciting 😉 I need a rug, a sofa, some chairs, some side tables….LOL pretty much everything. I think it’s time to do some heavy duty shopping over here 😉

Who’s up for some furniture shopping this weekend? AND who’s up for a good sale? World Market is currently offering 30% off all regularly priced furniture with the code FURN30. It’s a pretty great opportunity to get that new sofa or dining table you’ve been wanting.
Here are some of their newest products that I have my eye on. Loving that two-toned dining table! So unique! Also might get those smaller-scaled armchair for my smaller-scaled living room 😉 Now’s the time to click “checkout” on that shopping basket of goodies you’d added to your online cart. Yes, I know you do that too!

Ever since coming home from our trip to Waikiki, I’ve been daydreaming about our our hotel room at the Modern Honolulu. I decided it was time for a little master bedroom update of our own. As you saw from the No Makeup Home Tour, our cal king bed takes up pretty much our whole bedroom! It’s definitely a smaller room than our last master, that’s for sure. I think our new bedroom calls for a queen sized bed – That way we can fit TWO nightstands instead of just one 😉

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!
The last thing you’d expect when browsing The Home Depot site is seeing a bunch of furniture, right? Well, you’d be wrong! Did you realize that The Home Depot carries all sorts of great home decor and furnishing? I always knew they had a few things, but when I checked their website recently, I couldn’t believe the great selection! From dining room tables to throw blankets…and quite a large offering too, I may add. I’m feeling the summery vibes with this blush pink too. Millennial is still going strong in my eyes. My trigger finger is itching for a couple (most) of items on this list. Any favorites?

Most of you have heard of the Konmari method and the every minimalist’s bible: The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Ever since reading the book a few years ago, we regularly “konmari” everything in the house. It’s such a simple and easy way to keep clutter to a minimum.
When we moved, I thought I would use the konmari method to help make the whole moving process easier, not only before moving but during the move as well!
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.
