Would you like to create a living Easter centerpiece? I created this simple and inexpensive spring centerpiece using a few items I had around the home and spring bulbs I picked up at Home Depot. These spring plants can likely also be found at your grocery store or local nursery. This is a sweet arrangement you can leave on your table a few days before Easter and then use as your centerpiece for Easter dinner. And once spring is over, this centerpiece can be reimagined to display summer or fall ...
IKEA Farlov Loveseat Review
The Farlov line of IKEA soft furnishings is well-loved among designers and homeowners alike. I’m so excited to say that we’ve just added one to our living room. The area in front of our living room window has been sitting empty or nearly empty for over a year now, waiting for the perfect piece. Initially, I thought I wanted two chairs or a petite loveseat, but neither offered the nap-worth comfort of a plush, oversized loveseat. I hadn’t really considered the Farlov for this space until the idea ...
IKEA pinboard hack for a home office
I've been searching for ages for the perfect pinboard for my home office, but I couldn’t find the style and size I wanted. They were either too plain-looking or too expensive. Just when I was about to give up, IKEA released a new pinboard, the Svensas. And it was the perfect size (23.5” by 23.5”) and price ($19.99 CAD, $14.99 USD).

21 IKEA Finds That Look Expensive
You all might be getting tired of my IKEA enthusiasm, but I can't stop. I really believe in making great decor accessible to everyone and IKEA does that.

You don't have to sacrifice style when shopping at IKEA, and many of their items look more expensive than they are. That's why I created this post, 21 IKEA Finds That Look ...
Romantic Valentine’s Day Decor
Yesterday I wasn't even planning to do a Valentine's Day decor post because we're getting ready to make some big changes in our living room this weekend. The area beside the living room is stacked with new pillows, artwork, and a rug, and we're awaiting our new loveseat this weekend. However, I couldn't let Valentine's Day weekend pass without indulging in a little romantic Valentine's Day decor, after all I do have four sweethearts I share this home with! In this post, I'm sharing how I added ...
DIY Rustic Vase from an Inexpensive IKEA Glass Vase
Have you noticed that rustic vases that look like concrete or aged pottery are everywhere now? They are a big décor trend in 2021. I shopped around to see if I could find one at an affordable price and sadly, most are close to a hundred dollars. The larger vases and lamps are several hundred dollars. Back to the drawing board, and I decided to make my own, incorporating a little IKEA hack along the way. In this post, DIY Rustic Vase from an Inexpensive IKEA Glass Vase, I show you how I created ...
