About Me

A dining table set with golden-themed plates, glassware, and napkins. There is a wicker basket with yellow foliage centerpiece, two candles, and decorative pears.

I cannot believe this is the last week of 2025. It has been an excellent year for me. I am healthier than I have been in quite some time and have organized my life so that I have less stress, more free time, and more opportunities to travel than ever.

It doesn’t get much better than that!

Your Ten Top Favorite Home Decor Items

It’s been fun looking back at my blog posts from 2025, and today I am sharing your favorite Top Ten Decor Items from this year.

Here they are, in no particular order, of course.

Frame TV

A dining table set with pink plates, glasses, and a wicker basket centerpiece showcases stylish home decor items; a framed photo of trees hangs on the wall in the background.

You are probably not surprised that our Samsung Frame TV was one of the most favored decor items. I love ours so much (and we have a few) because I never have to look at a big dark screen on our wall. When I utilize the art feature, it transforms our television into a piece of art.

Don’t you think our TV looks like a piece of art? Imagine how different it would look if there was a black screen hanging on our wall.

How I Styled Our Family Room for Winter

Winter is the perfect season to refresh and cozy up your living spaces, and this year, I had so much fun styling my family room with a beautiful winter color palette of amber and blush. These warm tones created an inviting and sophisticated space, making it the perfect retreat during the colder months.

New Fall Decor in the Family Room

Fall is here, and you know what that means—I’ve been busy giving our family room a seasonal refresh. I love that I mainly used pre-owned fall decor in the family room. Before you start saying fall isn’t officially here, it is for me. It’s my job to share decor as early as possible. This year,…

Faux Flower Arrangements and Centerpieces

A wooden dining table set with gold-rimmed plates, patterned napkins, clear glasses, wine glasses, and fall-themed floral centerpieces.

Why do I love faux flower arrangements and centerpieces? I love fresh flowers in our home, but I don’t like discarding dead arrangements.

Faux flowers have come a long way in the past few years, becoming more realistic and offering a wider range of options.

I often compromise and create arrangements with both real and faux flowers. I still need to remove the wilted flowers, but the arrangement can remain in our home for a long time.

The Best Faux Flowers for Spring

The gloom of winter has me looking for a way to add spring to our home. The easiest way is to add spring faux flowers to your décor. Even if it is snowing outside, a touch of faux flowers for spring might be precisely what you need. From delicate tulips to vibrant peonies, faux blooms…

How to Create Real and Faux Fall Flower Arrangements

I made a fall flower arrangement for our dining room table using a blend of fresh and faux flowers, and I’m excited to share how you can create a similar look in your home. This is the perfect time to bring fall into your home with stunning fall floral arrangements. Combining real and faux flowers…

You all loved the faux flowers in our beach house! You can see many of them below.

Modern Coastal Vintage Decor

A white cabinet with drawers holds a potted orchid, a glass vase of shells, and a shallow bowl; a large mirror and wall art hang above, reflecting a staircase.

Our beach house decor is Modern Coastal Vintage Decor. I know many of you haven’t heard of this type of decor. Why?

Because I made it up.

I must say it is my favorite. Mixing vintage with new, with a coastal twist, is a perfect theme for our beach house. I must admit that our Pasadena home now has a few home decor items in that style as well.

So many of you added some of the decor items in this blog post to your decor! I love that.

Modern Coastal Vintage Style – A New Trend

Today I am excited to share a new term in interior design. It’s the style of our beach house and it is called Modern Coastal Vintage Style. In the world of interior design, blending different styles and creating unique combinations is a constant source of innovation. The newest blend is what I refer to as…

Our Remodeled Beach House and Unexpected Surprises

Now that it’s been two years since we finished remodeling our beach house, I thought it was a good time to share a little reminder: no remodel is ever perfect. Things happen—it’s just part of the process. You all know how much I adore our Ventura beach house. The remodel exceeded every expectation, and every…

Hanging Picture Frames

A living room with a white sectional sofa, round coffee table with flowers, and nine framed photos arranged in a grid on a light olive wall showcases stylish home decor items.

One of my favorite decor items is a collection of frames on a wall. It is likely those frames will include family photos. What could be a better way to decorate the walls in your home?

You all consider these frames to be your favorites, too. I added framed family photos above our new sofa, in the hallway, and in our primary bedroom at the beach house.

I love them so much. And hanging them is straightforward since most come with a guide.

Here is the link to all of my favorite frames.

Home Decor Lighting

It took me a while, but I now consider lighting an essential part of home decor. Lighting can make a huge statement in any room, whether a table lamp or a chandelier.

Many of you already consider the lighting in our home part of the decor. There are so many fantastic options, and I love adding metals and accents to our house with illumination!

Elegant Lighting at the Beach House

Kitchen Stools

A kitchen with a central island featuring three wicker chairs, pendant lights, and a vase of flowers. White cabinets, a farmhouse sink, and a stainless steel range are visible.

I not only bought new kitchen stools for the beach house, but I also bought the same ones for our kitchen in South Pasadena. They are both from Serena and Lily and are called the Balboa stools. I bought them on sale at the Serena and Lily outlet, but they are costly in the stores.

We finally found them on Amazon here. And they are so well priced at 75% off the S&L price!!!

I loved that so many of you reached out asking about these stools. They are the best.

How to Decorate Your Home Serena and Lily Style Without Breaking the Budget

Serena and Lily is synonymous with fresh, coastal, and effortlessly chic home décor. Many of us love and aspire to bring this look into our homes. But the price often prevents it. Their signature style seamlessly blends a coastal aesthetic with modern elegance, featuring relaxed linens, natural materials such as rattan and wicker, and a…

Seasonal Throw Pillows

One of the easiest ways to update a room each season is to add colorful throw pillows. I have one set of pillow inserts and a drawer full of pillow covers. I can instantly change the room’s feel with a quick update to the pillow covers.

So many of you love the pillow covers I share. You can see many of my favorites in the Spring Pillow blog post I linked below.

This summer, the DIY lumbar pillow I made from vintage swimsuits was a favorite with all of you!

Glassware

I have curated quite a glassware collection over the last thirty years. Some are vintage, but surprisingly, most of my glassware collection was purchased at home stores and on Amazon.

I love using colored glassware on my tables because the entire table sparkles when the light filters through.

I would love to know which are your favorites!

Why You Need Colored Glassware on Your Spring Table

I love setting tables for spring! It’s fun, and I especially love how colored glassware can enhance your spring table.

Area rugs can make or break a room.

I purchased rugs for the beach house in almost every room and replaced them in my craft room on the third floor. A lovely area rug pulls a room together, making it much cozier.

It seems that in the last few years, many rug prices have become more competitive. And my favorite brand, Loloi, is very affordable!

You all loved the rugs in our beach house! You can see them below.

I am ready for some changes, and I hope you are too!

My Biggest Challenge This Week

A well-organized sewing room with shelves of supplies, a sewing machine, dress form, floral decor, and wooden floors, viewed from a table with a black chair in the foreground. — Just to come clean, my craft room never looks this clean. That’s why I need to make a few changes.

This year, crafting has played a much bigger role in my life, so I have decided to set my first New Year’s goal. Reorganizing the third-floor craft room.

My craft room is heavily used, yet it’s still not quite working. I need more work areas and a bit more organization, and I cannot wait to start!

Remember when I redid the sun room that was my craft room many years ago?? This room went from a dark office to a sunny craft room.

I loved the bright new craft space, but it was too small.

So, I moved all of my craft supplies to the third floor and created a much larger craft room.

I have realized that my craft interests have changed this year, so my craft room needs to evolve with them.

Pottery is a new craft I discovered this year, and it requires a dedicated workspace and some storage. And my “storage closet” no longer looks like this. It’s packed full of stuff!

That is my big project for January 2026.

I hope you are ready to share this journey with me!
