This bathroom had an awkward layout that didn’t work for our family. The original shower protruded into Abby’s already small bedroom and the double sink was not really needed here. So I went to work, changing the layout and created a clean, modern guest bathroom on a budget. As a bonus Abby’s bedroom reclaimed that useful space once again. Read on to see a photo tour of the process.
In 2026, homes are becoming less about matching sets and more about creating a lived-in, collected-over-time style. Think Nancy Meyer’s film settings in Something’s Gotta Give, Father of the Bride, and The Holiday. Homes that emphasize warmth, personality, and feel like they are actually lived in. We are stepping away from minimal interiors in favor of natural materials like full-grain leather, hardwoods, and natural stone that develop a beautiful patina over time.
There’s something so inviting about decorating an entryway for fall. It’s the first little glimpse of your home, and I love the idea of creating a space that feels warm, collected, and seasonal without going overboard on traditional fall décor. This fall entryway does exactly that with rich earthy tones, layered textures, and a beautiful autumn wreath that brings the entire space to life.

This design blends timeless details with a light, relaxed sensibility, creating a space that feels polished without sacrificing comfort—the kind of bedroom that invites you to slow down, settle in, and stay awhile.
Not every home features a grand foyer. In fact, many entryways have angled ceilings, narrow walls, or unique architectural details that can seem more challenging than inspiring. However, I have discovered that these "awkward" spaces often hold the most potential.
There's something special about a bedroom that instantly encourages you to slow down. No bold trends competing for attention. No overly styled corners.

When I think of fall, I think of falling leaves, warm caramel apple cider (or pumpkin spice for my coffee-drinking husband), apple cider donuts, pumpkins, and, of course, flannel. Like every good cozy fall read, flannel makes us feel safe and snug. This surprisingly versatile material works in most interior spaces, from traditional to modern.
