Hello! Look at these beautiful kitchens, pantries, laundry room, and mud rooms for new build or remodeling ideas. These were all featured in the 2021 Utah Valley Parade of Homes and were taken on my phone camera so they aren't the best but will help with your planning and dreaming. 
 

 We've done some crazy bathroom renovations in our Virginia home and our Texas home and it was fun to design a new bathroom for a change in our current home. We've been switching out some of the light fixtures and these ones in the master were just traditional but the bell shaped felt a little outdated.

My sister, Kerri gave me the heads up that Target has a 40% off costumes Circle offer today and that it works for online orders or store pick up! There is also 30% off Halloween candy! Thanks, Kari!!

 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.

 Hello! Welcome to Day 4 of Every Day September! I wanted to share a favorite perennial that has consistently thrived in the heat, is super low maintenance, and done well year after year. The black eyed susan! (rudbeckia hirta)

I shared a video on Instagram showing how it compared in the July/August heat to some other perennials if that would be helpful.

Hello! I wanted to show you a cool tool that can save you a lot of money but can also save you from driving around from store to store. It's called Brickseek (no affiliation with them I just love looking things up!) -- it's basically a free inventory checker. September is a perfect time to find outdoor furniture and patio sets on clearance. I have loved Better Homes and Gardens sets at Walmart. I had my eye on the River Oaks so I kept checking Brickseek to see when it started going on clearance.

 I do need to point out that EVERY STORE is different and prices will usually vary from store to store. 

Just search Brickseek Walmart and then click on the SKU finder and then I typed in River Oaks and click on the set when it comes up. Then it will automatically fill in the SKU for you and you put in the zip code and choose whether price or distance is more important to you. I usually just choose "recommended."

It is out of stock now but this is how it comes up -- look at the difference at the prices in the stores.
