Our living room is the most used space in our home so it only makes sense that we make it the most loved space as well. There were a few things that were very important for me to achieve in this space. First, there had to be enough comfortable sitting for my family of 7! Second, it had to be beautiful as well as functional, which is the tricky part. I also felt our living room was a bit dark so it was important for me to lighten the space up. Once I had an idea of what was important I went shopping at my favorite furniture store RC Willey
Within a few minutes I found exactly what I was looking for! The beautiful Griffin Sectional Sofa It checked all the boxes! It had beautiful style and light color to brighten up the room, and lots of seating for my family, something our previous set up was lacking.
Once I had the sofa picked out it was time to design the rest of the room around it. My favorite section at RC Willey is the Magnolia Home line. I pretty much love everything in the collection so I knew I would find just what I wanted! I ended up picking the Magnolia Coffee Table and matching Magnolia End Table I love the style of these pieces and the wood top is so unique!
I couldn’t be happier with how my living room re-fresh turned out. This space is now so light, bright and inviting! Plus it fits my whole family making is perfect for movie nights!

I have always loved the idea of having a pretty laundry room. I used to see them all the time on Instagram and Pinterest and thought that one day I would transform my plain, ugly laundry room into something I was proud of. Well last week I made that transformation and I couldn’t be happier! No joke, I actually enjoy doing laundry now, and I find myself looking for things to wash just so I can hang out in there, haha! Come see what we did to make this space beautiful and functional!
The first thing we did was clear everything out, including our old washer and dryer, so we could have a blank space to get the design juices flowing!
Before
Once I figured out my design it was time to get started!! We took down the basic shelf that was installed by our builder and replaced it with beautiful gray wall cabinets! They are much more attractive and give me so much more storage, total win win!
The next thing we did was take some left over peel and stick tiles from another project and put them on the back wall behind the washer and dryer. I didn’t love the original color of these tiles so I did a dry brush technique and painted them white, giving them the look and feel of white washed brick!
We had an open space next to the washer that I thought would be a perfect laundry folding station, so we installed a matching base cabinet. It has been the best use of space!
The last things we installed were a wood countertop for the base cabinet, and a set of floating shelves between the wall cabinets. This was a super budget friendly project because we used project boards that look similar to butcher block, but cost less than $20 each. Lastly we stained them to match and added a coat of polyurethane!
The biggest and most exciting change we made was the addition of a new washer and dryer set from Samsung. These things make doing laundry a breeze! They are front loaders each with a smaller washer and dryer on top for small loads and delicates. You can literally do 2 loads of laundry at one time, now that’s my kind of laundry!!
Electric FlexDry Dryer with Steam in Black Stainless
Finally, my favorite part, decorating the room! I kept it pretty simple with a fun wood laundry sign, a letter board, some jars, and a little greenery! This project has been one of my favorites and I’m so excited to finally have the pretty laundry room I have always wanted!!

Thanks for coming over from Grace In My Space blog!!
Fall is one of my favorite seasons and this year I had so much fun decorating my home, including my twins’ bedroom!! (they loved it so much this may become an annual thing) This year I was drawn to this gorgeous mustard yellow and pops of gold. They were the center of my decor, and because my home has a neutral color pallet, it was easy to add in a pop of seasonal color with minimal changes! I hope you enjoy my Fall Home Tour!

Entryway
My Fall entryway was probably my favorite spot I put together this year!!

The faux plants are from Hobby Lobby and the grey bins are from Home Goods. The ladder is from Decor Steals but it’s sold out at the moment. All other items are no longer available or are from local boutiques.
Kitchen
In my kitchen I kept it pretty simple. I added a seasonal wreath and some faux florals in that mustard color I’m loving. Then I added in one of my favorite fall candles and it instantly had all the fall feels!

The faux florals are from Hobby Lobby.
Dining Room
In our formal dining room I did a fun tablescape with 2 types of garlands and different height candles. This ended up being really budget friendly because I used some old candle holders and painted them all black to match!
My husband and I built the table, benches, and side table. The lamps are from Hobby Lobby a few years ago and the sign is from Harper Grace
Guest Room
In our guest room I have a very neutral color pallet, so adding in some pops of mustard with the throw pillows, blanket, and garland brought in all the cozy fall feels!
My husband and I built the headboard. The windows are vintage and the sign has been discontinued.
Living Room
In our living room I dressed up the fireplace with these beautiful fall wood signs and a pop of mustard with the garland! I brought in a few fun pillow covers for a seasonal change and I’m so happy with how it turned out!
My sofas are from RC Willey and the coffee table is no longer available.
Twins Bedroom
My twins got such a kick out of me adding fall feels in their room! It was easy with some cute pumpkins. Changing out their pillows and throw blankets also gave it just the right touch!
Bedding and Blankets (Use Code: GREYBIRCH20 to save 20%)
My husband and I built the beds. The lockers are form Hobby Lobby and the trunks are vintage army footlockers. I found the pumpkins at the dollar spot at Target.
Sunroom
In our sunroom I put together a fun tablescape with pops of mustard and apples as my inspiration!
My husband and I built the table. The rug is from Ruggable The vases are from RC Willey and the florals are from Kirklands

This month I have been working to update my master bedroom. I have had the same bedroom set for the past 12 years! It has seen better days so it was the first thing to go! I loved the black wood bed we had for so long, but I wanted something softer that would also make a statement in my room!
Before
After I had an idea of what I wanted I headed over to check out Overstock to see what they had. That’s when I found my dream bed!! I knew it was perfect the moment I saw it. It was large, striking, and the statement piece I was looking for. The tufted upholstered headboard also gave it that softness I wanted!
After I picked out the bed, I found the perfect bedding and changed out some of the decor for a brand new master bedroom update!!
I’m always so impressed with the selection and prices that Overstock has, and this bed is a perfect example of that! I have seen similar beds like this for double the price at other popular retailers.
