We’ve made it people, to the last week of the year where we have no clue what day it is. You’ve watched The Queen’s Gambit, The Undoing, Normal People, The Flight Attendant, The Vow, The Bachelorette, heck, you even watched Love Island (just me?). If you’ve run out of programming this year and you want to get something accomplished in this week of purgatory, here’s a fun DIY wall art idea for your home: this painted arch gives your space a fresh pop of color and will add some dimension to any room. Earth tones are likely safest, but if you want a bold color, well my friends, 2020’s OVER and we say go for it!

And a twist to Black Friday, The Citizenry is taking their sale tactics in a different direction. Instead of giving deals they are giving to charity, which we love. On Black Friday, with every $130 you spend, it funds one month of school and music lessons to a young girl in Columbia. Over all they are trying to fund a year of school for 165 girls. Let’s help make it happen!
Happy shopping!

splurge or steal
I love a good room divider. They’re so great in rooms where you have the space to create some separation without the intrusiveness of a wall. You can create an area to read, relax, put your kids (or friends) on time out… the possibilities are endless. Or if you live in a studio, it gives off the feeling of having more than one room.
splurge or steal
Back when the Rachel Zoe Project was on TV, I was obsessed with anything and everything RZ. One of my favorite things she did on her blog was “save or splurge,” “splurge or steal,” something of the sort. Naturally, we all instinctually want the splurge, it’s just not always attainable.
So here is my version, for home. Natural fiber striped rug…
lighting. is. everything 🙌🏼
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! It’s time to set the mood... And did you know that Wayfair.com sells really great lighting at affordable prices? They sell just about everything you need for your home - not just lighting. So to make sifting through thousands of pages online a little less intimidating, here are a few of my very favorite lights…

wall so hard
As my new Instagram friend Arlyn Hernandez wrote last week, “I’m tired of vanilla.” AMEN, girl… A-men! The white wall, white home, all white everything fad is done (I mean it’s not, it’s not done at all, but I’d sorta like it to be). Let’s paint, let’s wallpaper, let’s add… wait for it… Color! You don’t live in an insane asylum (although some of us pry should). The end of 2018 is near, so let’s mix it up and have some fun, mmm k?

find of the week
Interior lighting is one of the most important features of your home. Bad lighting - is simply - the worst. If I could afford to be boujee enough to install lighting in every drawer or cabinet upon opening, well, I one-hundred percent would. That, my friends, is goals af.
Snooping around on Amazon (per usu), I found this light fixture that would work great for a closet, half bathroom, pantry, or hallway, for only $18.65. And if you order today, it'll arrive by Sunday... Because Amazon Prime is life. Match it with a round bulb (as shown) or an Edison bulb and voila.
