I think we can all agree that the holidays feel a little funky this year! Normally I’m not even a huge decorator for Christmas but this year I decided to get a little extra… like we mayyy have put up 5 Christmas trees 🎄Some of them were mini ones, but still! Listen, Christmas 2020 anything goes!

This was our first Christmas without Scootie, but he was definitely not forgotten. I swear half of my personal ornaments are of Scoots or weenie dogs. Which was kind of sad but happy at the same time. He loved Christmas so much and digging around the gifts under the tree so it was nice to have reminders of him.

It was also Benji’s first Christmas with us so you we had to do it up! Included a little reindeer outfit for him! I couldn’t resist.

This is where the bonus Christmas trees come into play! By Dad told me had a Christmas tree of mine in the attic and asked if I wanted it… and again, 2020 so I said yes! So we put one up in our bedroom and then I also was gifted another pink Christmas tree that I couldn’t say no to!

My office was the pink Christmas tree hub and I loved every minute of it! 2020 may have been a bummer but our decorations definitely added a spark to our home! Now I just wish we could keep them up even longer!

I cannot tell you how EXCITED I am to have a front porch to decorate for the holidays! It’s our first Halloween at the townhouse and whether we end up getting trick or treaters or not, the decorations were going up! This is the first time EVER in my adult life that I’ve actually had a front porch of my own and not just an apartment door so I definitely had a lot of fun with it!

Our front porch isn’t super big so we decided to also take advantage of our Juliette balcony for some decor! We added a skeleton we had, as well as some spider webs and lights. Since he gets s little windy up there too we also tied the skeleton to the balcony with some twine.

My other favorite part of our decor are these bats! How fun right?!

Next up is the front porch! Of course we all know the real stars of the season are pumpkins! We picked up a bunch of varieties at Trader Joes this year. I also brought out a wood crate we had to add a little height and give us more space to stack pumpkins. Add in some corn cobs and some lights and the front porch was ready to go!

Wreath: Option 1 & Option 2 | Halloween Ornaments: Similar

Another fun decor element is our wreath. I actually got this years ago when I was living in NYC and thought I was splurging (it was a whole $30 😂). What I love about it is since it’s black and silver I can change the decorations to match the holiday. In NYC this was more a matter of space, but even still I like having the option. So for Halloween, I add a spider and some Halloween ornaments. For Christmas, I swap out the ornaments, add some ribbon and a hanging snowflake. Then for Valentine’s Day, I add some cute heart lights. It’s nice to have something that is versatile!

To finish off our decorations, we added spider webs to our bushes with plastic spiders sprinkled throughout them. Then a few faux tombstones in our flower beds!

My office is my happy place in our home. Being able to have an actual home office at our apartment was a treat after living in NYC, but having a dedicated space that isn’t playing double-duty as a guest room is solid gold! It was one of the things I was most excited about when we bought our house! Working from home for my business, I spend a lot of time in my office so I really wanted to make sure it was a happy and inspiring space. So today I’m giving you a full tour!

One of the first things I decided I HAD to have in the office was a pink couch. You know your girl loves pink and I decided I had to make it happen! I spent a lot of time looking into different options before I decided on this one. There were a lot of different options but they felt either like the wrong shade pink or were way more than I wanted to spend. After spotting this option on Instagram I decided to go for it! It’s actually also a futon too in case we ever did need an extra bed.

Pink Couch: Wayfair | Side Tables : Similar | Faux Deer Head: White Faux Taxidermy | Letterboard: Target

It’s definitely the shining star in the office if I don’t say so myself! Next up was mixing up my gallery wall. I love having a variety of different prints that I find inspiring (some of which I make myself). Another thing I also like to have on display is my vision board. As you guys know, I’m bigggg on goal planning and my vision board is a big part of that too. I like having it front and center so I have a constant reminder of what I’m working towards. If you haven’t made a vision board before, I also wrote a post that walks you through the process on my business blog.

Aw, if you look closely in some of the other pics you’ll also spot Scoots. The office was one of his favorite places too. So even though he didn’t make it for this post to be shared, I still wanted to include him. One of my favorite parts of the office is I have a sliding glass door that goes out onto a Juliette balcony which was perfect for him being able to people-watch and look outside while I worked.

Another thing that was a priority was having plenty of space for my plants! #PlantLadyLife is the best life!

Besides being an inspired space, function was also really important. Cue my wall of shelves! For years, I dreamed of having a props closet to organize all of my props for social media photos and this is my version of that! It’s one part prop organization, one part plant shelf and one part office supply organization!

Shelving: Ikea | Wood Crates: Target | Blue Bins: Similar | Wool Woven Storage: Similar

At the Tacoma apartment, I had a double shelf and then when we moved into the townhouse and I had more room I decided to get an extra one to make it 3 shelves. I ended up getting these at Ikea and they’ve worked out great, plus were a great deal!

Desk: Similar | Whiteboards: Lowe’s | Pink Chair: Similar | Faux Chandelier: Similar | Salt Lamp: Similar

Now for a peek at the other side of the office! If I’m being totally honest, I definitely spend more time working from the couch than my desk, but I like to have options! Plus, with all the Zooming we’ve been doing lately it is a much better location for that. Another one of my favorite things in my office are these ledge shelves. They’re such a great option for an alternative to a gallery wall and I love the layered look you can create.

I’m also very into my whiteboards! The one by my desk is for tracking goal progress and monthly intentions but I loved having it so much I also have two right behind my door. They’re perfect for brainstorming and having plentyyy of space at that! The great thing about them too is they’re only like $6 each! You can spend wayyyy more on whiteboards… but Lowe’s (and Home Depot) also sell these ones that are thin and super affordable. They also have a chalkboard on the back if you wanted to use that side instead too. One of my best finds for the office I think!

Here’s a peek at the current print line-up! I think the key to having a great layered mix is mixing and matching the frame colors and sizes. I also LOVE framing cards in the smaller frames. I’m such a sucker for a good card and it’s a great option for adding some artwork that is inexpensive to your space too! Ikea is usually my go-to for frames because the prices (especially for the bigger ones) are tough to beat. I also DIYed the glitter frames. As you’d imagine, those are a little bit messy but I love the look so it’s worth being careful with them throughout the moves!
