I feel like I have to share these with you today -- the best lamps I found this summer at Target. These are beautiful, substantial, quality lamps for $50 each. I promise you won't find better anywhere for this price. They even come with the shade and lightbulb!

They are both Hearth & Hand from Magnolia and are sometimes hard to find in-stock. The white ones are here.

And the gray one is here also for $49.99. Most likely you'll have to find it at your local store for pickup.

This Studio McGee print and potted olive tree are also hard to find but I would highly recommend them if they are in a store near you. Kristine got the olive tree for me at her store (thank you!♥)

* these distressed vases are also SO good if you can find them. I had to have Lauren bring one back from the Montana Target for me.

We need to talk. First up -- I had to replant fiddle leaf because he's getting really big. Remember how little he started? 

My best advice for fiddle leaf figs is indirect light (not right in front of a window) and and a big cup of water (like the souvenir stadium cups you get at games) once a week. Since it's bigger I now water with 2 of those cups. But that's it! And then repot when it seems like it's outgrowing the current pot and you can add some fertilizer in the summer when it's growing but don't add any fertilizer in the winter. 

I found this planter pot with a stand at Home Depot but it's not showing up for me now. Here is the smaller version but you should be able to find the bigger 16 inch one in the store for around $45. I was super impressed with their selection of garden pots this year and felt like this was the best deal for what I was in the market for.

Also: you have to know that my closet shoe stand I was excited to share with you last January completely collapsed!! I heard an awful crash in the middle of the night and that was it. I was so proud of how it held up last year even when the other reviews said theirs had collapsed.  I guess it lasted a year and 3 months but I don't want to be shopping for a new rack every year so I wanted a sturdier option with a wood or metal frame. I considered making my own but have you seen lumber prices lately?? So I went searching for a metal frame without plastic corners and came up with this one at Walmart.

 I don't think you can order it online but I found it in a store about 20 minutes away. I think it's going to work! The metal is sturdy and it's held together with metal screws and has rollers on the bottom. 

The fabric is mesh but I found it's not the fabric that matters -- it is definitely the frame.  It holds all of my shoes plus I can put off season boots on the back so I'm crossing my fingers! I will let you know. Happy Wednesday!

  One of the first things when we moved in 7 years ago (can it be that long??) was clip up drop cloth drapes to block out the sun and give some privacy at night.  I decided it was time for an upgrade since the clips would come off frequently and I just wanted something a little more tailored. I began the search but everything for this size was SO expensive and it seemed like everything was silk or shiny and I just wanted a basic linen look.

I was thrilled to finally find this shop on Etsy!  She does curtains of all lengths and widths and the price was super reasonable because most of the custom ones I was looking at were in the thousands!!

This is what they look like closed -- they filter light but definitely are not blackout.

I paid extra for the Ikea tape to be added at the top and am so glad I did! In all the years of Home and DIY how did I not know about this trick before?? You can make your own "pleats" with the hooks! You just slide one side of the hook through a loop and then I counted about five over and then slid the other side up and it made a pleat!!  Genius Ikea. I just ordered the curtain rings with little loop on Amazon and they slide so nicely!!

How cool is that?? She also does single, double, triple pleats, or grommets if you are looking for that. 

I just wanted to share a great find along if you are looking for big long curtains or drapes!

I sharing good finds that save some $$. Have a fabulous day!

Some more beatiful spaces from the Utah Valley 2020 Parade of Homes! Let's look at laundry rooms:

Black and white floors were fun additions in both of these and the wallpaper!

Prettiest laundry baskets I've ever seen!

Blue cabinets + black and white floors

I love the edgecomb gray cabinets with the herringbone floors in this one:

More blue cabinets!

I always appreciate pretty shelf styling:

Look how they took an ordinary hallway and added these built-ins and benches ♥
