This gold and white adjustable rolling office chair is soooo comfortable and has that look I wanted.

Walmart had so many great office accessories like this pink MacBook laptop case, gold pencil holder, gold beaded candle holder (that I use as a coaster for my glass),a pretty glass case to hold paperclips and other things, and this candle jar-turned flower vase. I like to get creative and find other uses for items. Oh! And don’t forget the sparkly pens (here, here, and here)!

I like to keep this blush tassel tote full of my favorite books, scriptures, and notebooks so that I can take it with me to another room in the house easily or when I leave the house.

These étagère shelves (here and here) are some that I’ve wanted for a while but waited till we moved.  I love the shape of them and with all my nesting boxes (I’ve had them for 5 years), it holds all the things I want/need in my office in a decorative way.

Besides these shelves being practical, they’re great to also display decor. I used preserved roses, my favorite candles for the summer, wick trimmer, more candles-turned fresh flower vases, gold orb, designer books (like here, here, and here), and framed prints.

Ginger jars and flower stems just seem to a staple of mine in every room. I love having floral accents! My dresser is vintage but I found some really cute ones here and here on Walmart’s website. Dressers are another great way to store accessories, books, important papers, etc.

Ok friends, leave me a comment and let me know how you’re going to freshen up your office space this summer with Walmart! Not only did they have these fabulous items but they have so many great items from their new WOW & NOW section (in select stores) that went live on July 19th! They also have a fabulous section, the Summer Home Lookbook. Did you see my summer hangout spot I did for my teens? It’s a must-see! They eat breakfast and lunch there every single day…it’s the cutest!

How To Make Your Bed With A Layered Look

So since I’m sharing the transformation of this bedroom, it’s probably a good time to show you how I add layers of bedding to make it cozy and to look like they do it in stores. First, mattress cover and sheets.

I added a white duvet with down duvet insert. This was actually one I’d previously bought with blue stitching but you won’t see that so I used it anyway.

I loved this spa blue quilt and shams I found in the Walmart Home section. I always score good finds but I really loved this. Such a serene color for this room! Hang with me. I know this looks weird but there’s a reason to layer….

I like to fold it down but not all the way, back, and then fold it down again.

Next, I folded the down comforter down, just over the edge of the quilt and showing the sheets. This is where it’s helpful to make sure your sheets are fresh out of the dryer or ironed. Wrinkly sheets wouldn’t look good ha!

Fold down the top part/cuff of your flat sheet and tuck them in on the sides, under the mattress. I fold it down just to where the fold of the duvet cover begins. Add white pillows for sleeping.

Add matching spa blue pillow shams.

I also scored the cutest throw pillows for this bed, looking through Walmart Home items. These were PERFECT!

They had darling little poms all over.

I’m seriously loving this color!

Ok….Here’s where I’m not diggin’ the bright gold in this room. So I made a change.

A muted gold would’ve been fine but I decided to grab {two of the three} the spa blue chinoiserie panels from my hallway and put them above each nightstand. The third went to hang in the closet. I also had a vintage floral wall decor piece that I added some silver leaf Rub ‘N Buff to, as to mute the gold. I also brought mercury glass lamps in from my bedroom (similar here) and swapped them out. You still have muted gold in the chandelier and drawer pulls but I love that. Yes, it’s okay to mix.

Oh! I also grabbed this darling white floral essential oil diffuser as well (just like I bought for my bedroom) because instead of an obnoxious or toxic wallflower or candle, you can have a healthy (and decorative) option for your guests to keep that feeling going in this serene spa blue guest bedroom.

What do ya think? I super love it! I love the color palette, the fabulous bedding I found at Walmart, and the panels were perfect because I want to wallpaper this room and this is great for now.

Thanks so much to my friends at Walmart for another great collaboration! Have you been following their site and all the fabulous lines they’re introducing? See my past posts for more great Walmart collabs, some of my favorite things, and make sure to check out their site for more great home decor items at a really affordable price.

I’m so thrilled to be back in a home that has a formal dining room, separate from our other dining space….especially when we are entertaining and like to keep adults separate from the teens. It’s been great! Over on IG stories I’ll share what this room looked like when we moved in. 

Now, I have a lot of dinnerware and try to find sets that won’t break the bank. Everyone should be able to afford nice plates and bowls that you can use every day. I found these 2 fabulous sets at Walmart…a black set of dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls and then a black and white dotted set with a gold rim. I actually bought 2 sets of each to have 8 settings total of each variation.

I just love them! Aren’t they pretty?! And so great for every day use or to even dress up a bit. Ok so I had fun. I mixed and matched them to create a beautiful Halloween table but honestly…take out the pumpkins and you can use these all year round!

Ok so here’s how I created my table. First, create a runner down the middle with some decor. I used velvet pumpkins, some black branches and a couple spooky crows. No tablecloth this time but you can certain throw one on there.

I layered a black dinner plate with a dotted salad plate next.

Then I layered a black bowl with a dotted bowl.

These white dinner napkins are great to use over and over again and throw in the wash. How cute is this jeweled spider napkin ring?!!! It was a perfect touch for Halloween!

Great stemware like this with a gold rim is an essential for my tablescapes. 

I love gold flatware so I used more of a modern set for this table.

Isn’t it a great combo with both of these sets layered?!

Then I decided to change it up and switch out my plates, using the dotted on the bottom and I liked it even more. Fun right?! The napkin seemed to pop more.

I even found a black fascinator hair clip (cut off the netting) and put it on my velvet pumpkin for an added touch.

This was so easy and so fun, being able to mix and match this set.

I love this glam modern look and like I said…take out the Halloween decor and add some candlesticks or something else in the middle for an every day tablescape.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I always have a hot cocoa bar cart every fall and winter and apothecary jars make a cute and functional way to display everything.

I’m so pleased with the way my black and white Halloween table with affordable dinnerware from Walmart turned out! Walmart Home products have been my go-to for great home decor and kitchen items lately and I love going to see what new things they carry on their site. The last few months I’ve finished my master bedroom, my office, and our screened patio space with items from their website as well so make sure to check those out! What have been your favorite pieces you’ve found there lately?

This patio is a good size and the other side of it is still being set up, as we are unpacking boxes right now, but I wanted to make this little corner for my teens to hang out. I didn’t really understand the necessity for sun rooms here until we moved in. One word….mosquitoes…ha! So the screens are so lovely and helpful and we can still be outside and relax and eat and enjoy being in nature. I wanted really comfy chairs for my kids and I knew they loved these egg pod chairs so I was thrilled to see Walmart had them for such a great price. I might want a couple more but for now, it’s great for both my teens to each have or for one of them and a friend to come out and relax on.

To create this space I started with this great, neutral outdoor rug. It’s smooth, not hard and scratchy like some, was very affordable, and looks like it washes off easily.

These egg pod chairs are not only super duper comfortable but their price was better than others I’d found. I grabbed some darling yellow-striped pillows to add a fun pop of color.

I needed some greenery and found the cutest faux lemon tree, also a fraction of the price of other ones I’ve compared online, and it fit perfectly into one of my existing pots. It also went my little lemon theme I had planned.

Walmart has so many fun items for this summer! Not only for outside but for decorating the interior of your home and also tabletop items. I had to have this lovely aqua dinnerware set. I sliced some lemons and sparkling water, although most Southerners here would probably choose sweet tea. It’s a staple here.

Since I’m still unpacking boxes galore, grabbing some lemon treats from Walmart’s bakery and adding lemon pieces for garnish was a better alternative to save me from baking from scratch. I love how cute the yellow desserts were on these aqua dishes! This was a fun way to present this area to my kiddos. They loved this whole set-up and would be so cute on your table or patio area while entertaining this summer!

Isn’t this fun?! Even though it’s super hot here, this patio stays cool and now I’ve been able to create the perfect spot for my teens (or for Josh and I) to come escape to and spend time together. Do you have an outdoor summer hangout spot for your family? I can’t wait to see them out here together. I already spotted them out here having lunch together and it made my mama heart so happy. You can check out all the cute Walmart summer items HERE and put together your very own space or order some items to add a fun splash of summer to your home!
