Boy Bedroom Reveal

by 14 Comments

If you are searching ideas for your boys bedroom decor, then look no further. Greyson’s Boy Bedroom Reveal features a closet loft, Lego storage, vintage pieces, a ton of beautiful lights, and more. 

I’m soooooo incredibly happy to say that Greyson’s boy bedroom reveal is here. We’ve been in the weird in-between bedroom phase in his room for the past few years. His room looked picked up on a good day but, overall, it didn’t function well for us. When I work on spaces within my home, my goal is to think about how to mesh functional pieces with how we live. Sometimes I nail it and, other times, I don’t. Today, I’m happy to report that this space has been functioning PERFECTLY for him for a few weeks and feels like an extension of my decor style (but suited to a boy’s bedroom).

Scrap Fabric Project : DIY Plant Bag

by 17 Comments

This DIY Plant Bag is made out of scrap fabric! Whether you are looking for ideas for large indoor plant pots or just inexpensive cheap plant pots, this project is a win. Read on for the tutorial on how to make a fabric pot!

A few years ago, I made these fabric planter bags and really loved them. Since then, they have moved all over my house and have housed many different types of plants. As I’ve been working on refreshing Greyson’s room, I’ve been shopping my house for decor that would be a good fit for his space. In the bottom of the decor closet was this fabric pot and I immediately knew it would be perfect for his room.

Scrap Fabric Project : DIY Plant Bag

Before we jump right into the DIY Plant Bag tutorial, let me preface this fabric project by saying that I’m not a seamstress. I can sew a straight line and make envelope pillows but that’s the extent of my sewing skills. So, if you are looking for a BEGINNER FABRIC PROJECT, then this is going to be perfect for you.

Supplies Needed To Make The Fabric Pots

How To Make Large Indoor Plant Pots

  1. Use a planter or basket that you own as a guide for sizing. 
  2. Flip over basket or planter onto the fabric (outside of the fabric face down so you aren’t drawing on the fabric that will show) and mark a circle for the base.
  3. For my project, I used a medium size basket and my circle size was 13″ across.
  4. Next, you are making the sides of the fabric pot. I used a strip of leather that was 18″ tall to create the bag. I don’t know how long it needed to be because I had a long strip that I just used and cut once I had the seam sewn.
  5. Place the circle at the end of the 18″ strip and start sewing the pieces together (you place the pieces that you want facing the outside together).
  6. Feed the circle and the fabric around. You have to do this by hand, otherwise your circle will not be connected.
  7. After the circle is sewn on, sew up the side.
  8. Flip the fabric planter inside out.
  9. Put a cork planter pad in the bottom and then place your plant inside the plant pot. 
  10. Fold the raw edges in toward the plant.
  11. Trim any excess.


It’s really that easy! If any of the steps were confusing, take a look at the pictures, below.

If you have sewing skills, then you know that it would look more finished if you sewed the long piece together to create its own circle and then sew the pieces together. BUT, for me… the method that I used worked great!

I actually loved it so much that I did it again with a few scraps of rug that I had.

Since the rug had some unique fringe on it, I folded the rug outward instead of inward. I think it added something super cute. Curious to hear, would you ever make a scrap fabric planter pot?

p.s. If you are looking for other options for cheap plant pots, I made this planter pot table and a hanging planter as well.

Halloween Decorating in the Kitchen

by 3 Comments

I’m excited to share how you can embrace Halloween decorating without it feeling overwhelming. Today, I’m sharing a simple Halloween craft for those cute pictures you have of your kids, or pets, in their costumes. Plus I share how to focus your holiday decorating on a space that will really POP, instead of lots of little pieces all over your house. 

*I’ve partnered with Tuesday Morning to bring you these Halloween decorating ideas. From the paper bats to the jumbo bowl of my favorite chocolates, they had everything to make my Halloween Decorating in the Kitchen come to life. Grab a cup of coffee (I’d make it for you if you were coming over in real life) and let’s chat about how you can take some of these Halloween decorating ideas and implement them in your space!

Halloween decorations in the kitchen

I’ve mentioned many times over the last few years that holiday decorations don’t come naturally to me. I’m not quite a minimalist in my home decor but I’m definitely not a maximalist either. When it comes to adding more decor for the holidays, I have really struggled to find the balance between what I love (not having a ton of extras around the house) and what feels seasonally fun and fresh.

Modern Eat-in Kitchen

by 6 Comments

The Modern Eat-in Kitchen, with its DIY built-in bench seat with leather cushion, beautiful pendant light and midcentury furniture has finally come together.

As I’ve gotten older (and wiser?), my style has gotten more refined. I’m less drawn to all one style. Maybe because I’m more confident in my style? More and more, I’m drawn to a style that is a combination of modern and classic, eclectic and textural. I’ve been slowly tweaking my spaces so they have a good mix of that mid-century style, that I’ll forever be in love with, but also reflect a more balanced mix of old and new.

When I first started decorating, I bought most of my furnishings from the same lines, the same stores… the safe (and easy) option. Now that I’ve come to know my own style, I know that I prefer to mix and match. I prefer to mix higher priced items that will be show stoppers with lower-priced fill-in items. I prefer to create a room that can’t be recreated out of one store. I think intentional decorating is key here and taking time to let pieces “find” you is what really makes your house reflect you.
