Have you heard of Valyou Furniture? If you haven’t, I am now spreading the news about a sofa that is affordable, beautiful to look at, easy to clean, and doesn’t take 6 months to arrive at your door! When we moved into our apartment in March we knew we wanted a modern couch that had a beautiful shape to it versus your average big & boxy couch. This is our first low to the ground sofa and I will admit, it did take us a few weeks to get used to the height, but now we love it!
A few points about the feathers sofa:
The cushions zip on and off and you just throw it in the wash! We don’t wash the covers very often unless it’s a big mess, a spot cleaner will work just fine to get most spots out. We use this one. Hope this helps with your search and if you have any questions please comment below!

I lean towards a more neutral chair, but in the right room, I think a color or patterned chair can be a great statement piece. Any of these will look good in a living room or a cozy reading corner paired with a lamp. I rounded up a mix at different price points. Some modern, fun, and traditional. Chairs can be really expensive so I hope these are somewhat within your budget. And if you’re up for the hunt, check out your local thrift store or on Facebook Marketplace where you can find some reputable brands. (Ethan Allen, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware)
*TIP: If you already have a chair and are a little tired of it and don’t want to buy a new one, try adding a lumbar or throw pillow to freshen it up a bit. This etsy shop has some gorgeous custom-made pillows and love this striped one.
Hope this helps with finding your dream accent chair!

I love rugs. Beyond grounding the room, the right rug can be the jumping off point for the style of the room and set the tone for the space. Your rug is the foundation of your room so everything should feel grounded by it rather than having it serve as a small accent piece that floats in the middle of the room.
Good rule to follow: Most living rooms will need a rug that is at least 8×10 with some even needing 9×12 if the room is larger.

Happy rug shopping to you!
This is now the 2nd time we have changed things around in her room in the past 7 months. But I think we finally got it right, I hope! (transformation above) Last summer we painted the walls white and switched around the layout of the room. My mom was super happy with it, but wanted to update her furniture at some point, which is the big change we did this time around.
What we did:
This Greek Goddess maybe my favorite piece in the room. Adds a romantic touch.
Final words from my dad on this makeover, it’s done, no more, nothing else in here! So that’s a wrap!

If you’re a minimalist, this room might make you dizzy! My dad’s office has been a work in progress for a few years. This space transports you to a cabin in the woods far far away from Texas! We used lots of cozy patterns, different textures, family memorabilia, and artwork to bring it all together for a cozy cabin look. I can just see him now balancing his checkbook, cowboy hat on, and hot cocoa in his other hand!
Happy check book balancing and cocoa drinking to you dad!

Art can come across as fancy and intimidating. Sometimes you don’t even know where to begin. Here are 5 tips to get started and help you pick out some pieces you love! *Cost saving tip! Rip out pages from magazines or newspapers and frame them.
Some pieces that caught my eye…
Cute for an office.
I will buy this one one day! And maybe this one too!
Love this bubblegum portrait series. Pop art – Queen Victoria.
If you love pink, this one is for you!
Minimal. Love the colors.
I’m a sucker for these vintage posters. Every. single. one. of. them!
Leonardo Da Vinci’s ‘Horse & Rider.’
This may not be a favorite, but I like her! I could see this in a moody room.
These or these to add earthy tones. Maybe in a living or dining space.
Love these on their own or grouped in with a gallery wall.
Friends inspired 🙂
If you love the mountains or trees.
A pretty pastel print.
Gotta love cow art. Would look SO cute in a breakfast corner.
A fun, graphic piece to go in a bedroom or bathroom.
Move inspired posters. These would look awesome framed and put in a movie room.
Sweet prints for a nursery. Especially this one & this one.
Good luck with finding a piece that speaks to you! It will look amazing!
I love me some wallpaper.
When it came time to re-decorate a wall in our bedroom/nursery, I knew wallpaper was the way to go without spending too much money (and putting more nail holes in the wall). Wallpaper can be EXPENSIVE but I found lots of affordable options on Carter and Main, Amazon and Walls Need Love. We wanted a print that was mature enough for adults but young enough for baby. We decided on a peel and stick wallpaper because we live in a rental and it will be easy (hopefully) to take down. We landed on a whimsical forest print and love the way it turned out! You would think with the bold and dark pattern it might make the room feel smaller, but it actually made it feel bigger. Wallpaper is also a safe way to decorate a wall where a crib is up against – there’s no heavy mirror or framed art that could fall on your little one.
Final Pick: Amazon’s Groovy Garden
Total Cost: Wallpaper + extremely sharp cutting tool + smoothing tool = $131.96
Some Tips: Before ordering, measure your walls to see how much you’ll need. We got by with 4 rolls for 1 wall that measures 14 feet by 16 feet and had enough leftover to cover part of my closet. You could also use the leftovers in a drawer, cover the back of a bookshelf, or frame it for a piece or art.
Before & After
Below are some prints that might just be what you’re looking for to add some flavor to a room.
Dreamy and full of wonder | Wild! | Sweet for a nursery, bedroom or bathroom | Fun and corky | Calming | Modern neutral | Bold and artsy
Happy wallpapering to you!
Mirrors bring a good energy to a room. They are great for many reasons, they reflect light, open up spaces, allow you to check if your hair looks good! But when it comes time to hanging one on the wall, there is a little bit of an art to it.
What Does The Mirror Reflect?
Mirrors are usually hung based on available wall space, but it’s important to think about what will be reflected in it. When hung opposite of a painting or piece of furniture, it will give that item even more importance—as it will if hung across form something unattractive. Hanging a mirror across from a window will increase the amount of light in the room. I also really love when a mirror reflects a pretty light fixture or chandelier.
Go BIG!
Don’t be afraid to use a large mirror in a small space. Mirrors create the illusion of depth and space so they can really help a small room feel bigger. A full-length mirror leaning against the wall is a great decorative element to use in a tiny room. Mirrors are also great for narrow spots such as hallways.
Create A Focal Point
Mirrors make great focal points. It’s why they are often placed above mantels. Hang sconces on either side and you’ve got the perfect focal point in any room. If you really want to go all out, cover a wall entirely in mirrors for a wow effect!
An awesome full length mirror for the bathroom or bedroom.
Love this round mirror and the price is on point!
A great square mirror to add to a gallery wall or on its own.
Now go hang that mirror!
A room or corner in your home has probably been put to use a lot more recently (if you’re working from home). That space can sometimes get overlooked and might not get styled like the rest of your home. Whether you have a full room or just a wall, you can carve out a work oasis anywhere. If you don’t know where to start, add greenery, fun artwork and a lamp to begin with!

Modern with a pop
I know some people are against mixing brown and black, but I think it gives an eclectic look and can prevent a room looking matchy. Mixing the pink chair with neutral pieces allows it to be the pop piece in the room without being too bold.
