White Floral Frame Daybed
I moved into my condo around the holidays and I took my time with furnishing my guest room/office. I had my desk from my townhouse and clothing rack in there, but I still needed a daybed. I wasn’t in a rush to get anything so I took my time looking for a daybed that I liked. I ordered a white floral metal daybed shortly before my state went on lockdown so it took a while to get it, but I eventually did. And then, it took me a while to get a mattress and bedding. Again, I wasn’t in a rush. So now I finally have all of that and…

Repurposed: Glass Containers
My dad was recently cleaning out part of the basement and asked my brother and me what kid games and things we wanted to keep and what he could toss. There was an arts and crafts box with little glass containers and “stained glass” paint to paint them. I was going to give the kit to my friend’s kids, but the paint was understandably all dried up so I decided to take the little glass jars home with me to use as little glass vases. Not a bad way to repurpose a childhood arts and crafts kit in my opinion! I’ve linked to some cute bud vases below! *This post…

Orchids
Orchids are some of the prettiest flowers in my opinion. They remind me of the tropics, and I so wish i was on vacation to anywhere tropical right now. My mom is like the queen of orchids. I don’t remember when exactly she started collecting them but it’s been years and she can’t stop herself from buying more every year. Hers bloom without fail every year and then she cuts them back when the flowers fall off and then they regrow/bloom. I have one orchid plant at my condo and while I was watering mine recently I thought it would make for a useful blog post to show how to…

Ways to Manage Your Time While Working from Home
The current global situation has led many people to work from home. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was estimated that as many as 16 million workers in the United States are now working from home. It’s not an ideal situation, but when you consider those who are forced to leave their homes to work and those other 40 million US workers who lost their jobs because of the economic effects of the pandemic, people are making the best out of the situation they have. Unfortunately, telling people to stay indoors and implementing work from home models can take its toll on people. Now that more people are…

Pioneer Woman Kitchen Items
You know you’re an adult when you get excited for pretty kitchen items. I love the Pioneer Woman line at Walmart, because her items are all so pretty, completely functional, and affordable. Her items also feature a lot of florals and you know I love florals. So although much of my condo has a sort of classic modern feel, I do like her floral, retro farmhouse chic kitchen items. I’ve shared a few things I have from the line on here before, but I did a round-up collage at the bottom of this post of all the things I own including my beautiful turquoise tumblers and matching butter dish. What…

Kate Spade Desk Items
I’ve been working from home for exactly 2 months now. All the days are blending together and half the time I have to think about what day it is. I sit every day Monday-Friday from 7:50-4:00 at my desk. Of course, I get up to walk around, go to the bathroom, eat lunch. But for the bulk of the day I’m working/teaching virtually from my desk. I wrote a few months ago about my desk in my guest room. I wanted to make it pretty, but also functional and good thing since I’m working from it all the time now. What prompted me to write this post, besides the obvious…

Should You Invest in a Studio Apartment?
Studio apartments are small but functional living spaces, which are becoming increasingly popular in the American property market. Typical studio tenants include young professionals or students looking to strike out on their own. They often seek practical, stylish, and low-maintenance living accommodations. Also known as bachelor apartments, studios are self-contained units with private bathrooms. They usually follow a simple yet functional floorplan where your den, bedroom, and kitchen occupy the same space. While you likely won’t have sufficient space to entertain guests or bring in heavy furniture, it’s a pretty solid choice for students, singles, and young couples who can’t afford to buy or rent bigger properties yet. A studio also gives them the…
