Printable Valentines + Canon Printer Giveaway

I haven’t always been hot about Valentine’s Day, but for me in recent years it’s become more about spreading love to anyone in any way you can, which I’m very down for. I also think the creation of Galentine’s Day made the holiday so much funner and encourages letting people you care about know that you like them a lot (boys should definitely do a Guyentine’s Day although my gut says most would be fine with not).

With that in mind, I created these printable Valentines for you to give to your gals, friends, family, S.O., anyone you want to make smile. Adding on to the fun, my friends at Canon are giving away a printer to a lucky HOM reader to celebrate the holiday and the launch of their new TS series printers! Read More

Good Read: The Curated Closet + Wardrobe Minimalism

I picked up this book since I’m currently in this stage of ok, I spent a long time purging my closet of what I don’t love or no longer fits or was just janky and old and now that I have the cleanest slate for my wardrobe I’ve ever had I don’t want to screw this up again. I was looking for advice on how to build and maintain a wardrobe where every single piece is worn and thoroughly loved, where I’d never feel the frustration of thinking I didn’t have anything to wear, and while I found all of this in The Curated Closet, what I loved most was the reaffirming message on minimalism and why it’s a very good and not impossible thing.

5 Simple Ways to Refresh the Bathroom

By far the most neglected area in our home is the bathroom. Being apartment dwellers, we pretty much don’t have any options for what we can do with the design of this tiny space, and it took me some time to recognize that there are still some really simple things we could do to enjoy and get more out of the space. My black hardware and subway tile dreams will wait, but for now small changes are making some really good differences. Read More

Friday Finds

Sometimes it feels like I take the weekend hostage and set it free only as a reward for a productive week. Admittedly this week was not as productive as I wanted and my wheels just weren’t turning, which never feels good, but I’m recognizing those kinds of things as reminders to take a break and be nice to myself. So let’s do that and enjoy ourselves however we can, yea? Read More

DIY Footed Vanity Tray

Trays. They are much like my oddly enormous love for boxes. It’s a simple way to turn a collection of items into a prettier display while also being a form of organization that’s really, really easy to maintain. There isn’t a surface in our home that doesn’t have some kind of tray and it’s undoubtedly my favorite way to both decorate and organize, maybe second to boxes. If you need someone to gush about design + function wins like these with, I’m here. Read More
