Our Latest Home Must-Haves!

Hi friends! The new year has us motivated to tackle projects around the house, from design updates (how great is this checked jute rug?!) to getting organized! We’ve also been swapping out our cleaning supplies and containers for natural fibers, wood and glass — they’re prettier and better for the environment so it’s a double win!

You can save up to 30% on bedding and bath styles at Serena & Lily today, but the sale ends tonight so don’t sleep on these deals! We’re eyeing these nightstands, these darling table lamps, and the embroidered sheets and scalloped coverlet pictured above. Lots of our favorite styles are 20% off and ship free today at Ballard Designs, like these rattan side chairs, this scalloped mirror and these pleated lampshades. Happy shopping!
