1. FAVORITE STYLING MOMENT: Now that I finally hung curtains in our living room this weekend, I’ve been focusing on this little corner. I love how it’s all coming together, but I have a dilemma with trying to come up with something other than art to help fill the wall space. Any suggestions?

From decor, gadgets, organizing, and needlepoint – check out all my favorite Amazon purchases HERE.
