Decorating

I can’t believe this chic wall art gem is actually a toy!

I didn’t grow up near a Cracker Barrel, so I don’t have as much nostalgia associated with the chain as my friends who grew up road-tripping across the South do. However, I love trinkets and fun, kitschy decor, so I definitely have a soft spot for the Cracker Barrel General Store. And while normally I’d say it’s too early for holiday decorations, there’s a viral stacked book Christmas tree decor item for sale at the chain that just might change my mind.

If you’re already itching to shop Labor Day sales, you don’t have to wait until September. One of the best early Labor Day sales I’ve seen so far is at Wayfair, where prices are up to 70% off in every department. Even though the sale is billed as a “members only early deals” event, the discounts are open to all shoppers.

It’s warm, cozy, and plucked right from nature.

They might become your new favorites, too.

You’re going to love them — trust me!

Is this the era of “skirt-maxxing”? If so, I’m totally in!

You know when people ask you what you like to do for fun? My response is always, “I like to stroll around IKEA and see the latest and greatest.” (And, of course, enjoy some meatballs too). Usually there’s something that piques my interest, but never have I been as gobsmacked as I was when I spotted the KJUGE storage pouf out of the corner of my eye.

All featured in our real house tour archive.

It’s less than $80.

It’s the secret area that’s hiding in plain sight (with some of the best stuff).

One of the most stylish things to do in any home is to “break” the fifth wall, also known as the ceiling, and douse it in a brilliant hue or an eye-popping pattern. But if you’re looking to soon sell your home — or are anxious about embracing trends for fear that it may impact your resale value — you may find yourself wondering if this look is right for you.

Perfect light is just a tap away.

Honestly? We may love it more than the designer option.

I can’t believe it’s not vintage!

Every one is a designer dupe.

I’m thinking about buying a second one for my patio.

It creates both lots of charm and tons of privacy.

I had no idea what this weird feature in my vintage bathroom was — now I use it every day!

You won't believe this transformation!

They’re all unique in their own way.

They’re perfect for hosting, too.

I’m obsessed with the brass details!

No, it’s not the ghost lamp.

It works in any room.

You’ll save some serious dough — but not skimp on any style.

More evidence that cork is more than just a fleeting trend.

The reason why is pretty revolting.

They're sooo cute.

This quick trick saves me so much time and money.

There's something for every home.

They’re not just for kids’ rooms.

File this in the dictionary under “showstopper.”

All it really took was a special piece of furniture.

Plus, an early-autumn alternative is you miss out on the fruity scent.
