Spooky Fun Drinkware

I love this time of year, the “BER” months are always our family’s favorite!! I usually decorate the house and make all of the fun food when this time rolls around, but since receiving Colly’s diagnosis 2 years ago, things have been a bit different. I still want to make all of the memories for my kids, but I have to preserve energy when I can. So doing things full force like I used to has had to take a backseat, or maybe just not done to the 9’s like I used to.

That said, when Anthro dropped these fun Halloween glasses, I knew they’d be an easy way to bring in #spookyszn in an effortless way. I’ve loved their every day icon glasses for years (and own maaaany of them!), which these are the same ones – just jazzed up for Halloween! I love pulling these out a few mornings a week for my iced coffee at home.

I bought 5 different styles: pumpkins, skulls, bats, candy corn, and ghosts! I think the ghost might be my fave, what about you? Right now, they are a bit low on stock so snag one now while there are still a few!!

If you’d rather wait until Christmas, their holiday drinkware just dropped!! SOOO many cute styles, I can see my kids loving these for ‘not so hot’ chocolates and fun desserts during a holiday movie night!

Scalloped Wall Design

Links to stencil + more HERE

Hi!! It’s been a while since I shared a home DIY here! This will actually be PT 1 of 2, as I did something similar to Honey’s room following this run in Colly’s!

Back in January, I wanted to do something to brighten up Colly’s room. If you’ve been following our fam for a while, this room was actually my office for 6 years before Colly was born, and in that time, the walls were lined with huge IKEA kallax shelves. That said, they’ve definitely been thru some wear and tear!

I started off by painting the base coat in my favorite white (SW Snowbound). I found this stencil on Amazon and I love how the scallops were a bit larger than others I had seen. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a mustard-y gold (but not metallic gold) or a peach and posted a poll on my stories. It really was about 50/50 and so then it came down to a family decision and what would probably be best long term.

We decided on peach between the two colors, which ended up being SW Warming Peach. Let me tell you: I absolutely love it (!!!!) and am so thankful we went with it. What made this project so. much. easier. was the Frogtape I used as well as my go to painters tape and drape – game changer!!! Trust me, if you buy anything before you paint – it’s this one! It makes clean up a breeze!

Back to the painting, after I did the base coat and it was fully dry, I separated off a portion of the wall where I wanted the scallop detail to go. I taped the stencil to the wall and traced each scallop with a pencil. Where one scallop ended, I started the next and just followed that until the wall ended. I took a small brush and used it to go over my pencil marks and then took a larger roller to paint all the way down to the baseboards. It really only took a few hours but it ended up being a few days because poor sweet Colly Girl got the flu and I needed to tend to her and abandon the project for a bit.

All in all, I am so pleased with how it came out, and definitely fits our little girl’s personality 🙂 Honey loved it too so I told her I’d do something similar in her room as I mentioned earlier (which I did…so stay tuned for part 2!)

Pedestal Round Coffee Table

Coffee Table | Rug | Basket | Candle | White Square Pillow

Late last year, I switched out the steel drum coffee table we’ve had for the last 3 years. I still really liked this piece of furniture, but it wasn’t as sturdy as we are needing with Colly being so mobile now.

I found this stunning coffee table that blends classic design elements with a modern twist, creating a statement piece that is both functional and stylish.

Style + Functionality

This round coffee table stands out with its natural wood grain finish, which showcases the unique texture and tones of solid wood. Whether your home leans more toward traditional, modern, or farmhouse-inspired, the natural wood grains and tones are versatile enough to complement a wide range of decor styles. The pedestal base with vertical fluted panel detailing adds a sophisticated architectural touch, while the round tabletop offers ample space for everything from your favorite coffee table books to vases and decorative accents.

What makes this coffee table truly unique is its ability to act as a centerpiece for eclectic interiors. The combination of the matte finish and the end-grain design on the edges elevates this piece to the status of modern art. Despite its artistic flair, it’s also practical and durable—constructed from solid wood to ensure long-lasting use.

Space Saving

Perfect for apartments or living rooms where space is at a premium, this round coffee table features a compact design that maximizes your space without sacrificing style. The removable top adds a convenient feature for easy cleaning and care, while the overall structure ensures stability. Our main family room isn’t super big to begin, and then add in our oversized sofa – space is even more limited.

I also love how easy it is to maintain. I can simply wipe it with a damp cloth or spray a few spritz of all purpose cleaner if I’m trying to clean it a little deeper. If you’re looking to preserve its natural beauty, you can periodically wax or seal the table to maintain that natural charm.

Quick Set Up

The coffee table itself arrives in two separate packages: one for the tabletop and one for the base, making assembly quick and easy. Once assembled, the table is sturdy and reliable, thanks to its solid wood construction. I think it took me about 10 minutes alone, tops!

If you’re searching for a coffee table that brings a little warmth and character to your living space, while also offering functionality and timeless design, this modern coffee table is a must-have. Its natural charm and bright, modern simplicity will transform your living room into a cozy, stylish retreat.
