Sometimes I see something at Target and I’m like…OMG they nailed it. And sometimes I think that’s awesome but what would I do with it? This summer I saw a Nate Berkus Rope Vase and so I decided to re-create it.
MyModern: The Beginnings of a Very Cool Home Office
November 4, 2014
sponsored post
When Breon and I decided to buy a house, I have to say I was super excited about the idea of getting my own office. I’d been working off the couch for a couple years now and that’s really not fun when you’re trying to run a business.
So when AllModern contacted me to work with them, I jumped at the idea. I love their website and had already been perusing it while we were house hunting.
While my office is only in the beginning stages, with their help and the Louis Ghost chair, my office is starting to look polished and welcoming. 🙂 Remember back when I featured the chair in my office chair showdown?

Serena and Lily Living Room For Less
July 19, 2014During the past two months, I’ve received over 20 home catalogs as we look for furniture to furnish a full second level (we’re currently in a one-bedroom apartment). And as I look through these different catalogs, I can’t help but think, “Why is this stuff so expensive?”
But I am a conscious consumer so I’ve been bookmarking and keeping track of the general themes I like. Like my looks for less, I am starting a new series Home for Less — where I look at rooms I love from these catalogs and make them up without spending a ton! Here is my first one.
The base total for this rooms is $9,413 and this doesn’t include all accent decor. With shopping around a bit, I was able to find complementary options that were half the price.
- Pottery Barn Sofa $899
- Pottery Barn Chair $599
- Moroccan Pouf $130
- World Market Coffee Table $229
- Pier One Kubu Mirror $200
- World Market Chandelier $200
- Square Lacquer Tray $34
- Madison Stripe Pillow, $43
- Target White Pillow $20
- DENY Yellow Pillow $39
- Target Navy Applique Pillow $25
Total: $2,216
Total Saved: $7,197
