If you are doing any Amazon shopping this week, I wanted to share a few things that we've purchased recently! There will also be a few items that we've had for ages that are worth mentioning again!
Living Room
We've done a little updating in here in the last month, and I'm just so happy with the overall look. We changed out our curtains, added a few textiles and some new ottomans.
Pillow Covers
I originally bought these for our bedroom, but loved how they coordinated with the curtains instead.
Pillow Inserts
My favorite way to freshen up decor is by swapping out pillow covers. We've had these inserts for years, and it's great to just recover them once in a while.
Throw Blanket
Bookmark this as an excellent gift for just about anyone! We went with the dark green color, but it comes in so many. I think this makes a great cozy movie watching throw, but would look awesome as bedding too.
Ottoman
This is not an Amazon find, but rather a Target score. It's an honorable mention though because I loveeeee them! We purchased 2 to replace the 1 awkward sized one we had before. Such good quality! I almost couldn't decide between the two colors - but went with the cream. We definitely scotch-guarded them right away.
My aunt bought me this cute little pug planter and I just love it.
Curtains
These curtains are everything!! I'm so pleased with them. While I liked the color/fabric of the previous curtains we had - they were too short and always had been. These come in so many different lengths and colors. The price is stellar!! I'd actually like to buy a second set for our bedroom, but not positive I want to give up the black out curtains in there.
Plant Stand
Recently, I moved all our house plants from upstairs to downstairs - just so I could see them more often. I really love the touch of green in new places.
Bedroom
Our bedroom got a little makeover when I moved my desk from one side to the other. It really opened things up. I also really love being able to look out of the window instead of the wall.
Fresh Pillows - Down Alternative & Foam
What's with getting to your mid thirties and suddenly having neck problems because of your pillow?? We bought two different kinds of pillows to test and ended up liking them for different reasons. The down alternative are SO soft and comfy. I like a little more support though, so we also got these foam pillows and they are excellent. I'm a side sleeper, so I find myself using both of these depending on which position I end up in. No more sore necks and that's a win.
Quilt Set
I layered a plain white duvet with this navy blue quilt set. It's very lightweight and ideal for summer. I tried just using it as our main bedding, but pug hair and this navy color do not mix well. (Don't ask me why I thought it'd be fine!) So, as long as you don't have blonde dogs that sleep in your bed, you'll love it. 😂
Sheet Set
YA'LL. This sheet set is incredibly good, and oh so affordable. I will continue to buy these anytime we need sheets. I went with the pin stripe gray color, but the variety of options is awesome. These are very soft, and breathable. Blake is thrilled that they are deep pocket! That's his pet peeve. Easily a 10/10.
Pillow Cases
You'll laugh at me, but before I bought the above set of sheets I thought I was buying Brooklinen sheets. I laughed at myself when I opened the package to find I had just ordered pillow cases. The price is crazyyyy. But, they are pretty great, and have washed beautifully.
Mattress
An oldie but goodie! I bought this on Prime day about 5 years ago, and it's been the BEST mattress we've ever owned. We loved it so much we bought a queen size for the guest room as well. I know it's hard to buy a mattress online without testing it - but you can trust me, this is a great one.
Guest Room
I rearranged our guest room to accommodate the extra side table I moved out of our room. I think our guests will appreciate that extra surface area.
Luggage Rack
We have had a lot of overnight guests this year, so I wanted to make sure their stays were as comfortable as possible. I like that this luggage rack easily fits in the closet, and has a few cubbies for their shoes or other items.
Hanging Storage
Because this room doesn't have any kind of dresser, I wanted my guests to be able to unpack at least a little. This hanging cubby organizer helps out a lot!
Around The House
Here are a few more random items from Amazon we've been loving!
Diffuser
This is one of my all time favorite diffusers! It's beautiful and easy to use. I love the way the warm light glows under the ceramic cover. There is also a candle flickering setting that looks really cool in the evenings.
Santal Oil Blend
Get this oil blend if you want your home to smell like a luxury hotel or a spa. It's a bit masculine and warm - just luxurious! A little goes a long way too, you just need a drop or two to make a big impact.
File this under something kinda boring, but something also makes your life so much nicer! We upgraded from our old broken plastic baskets to these really great foldable ones. I've hung them on a command hook right next to the dryer and they take up virtually no space. Comes as a set of two!
Allow me to gush about our barstools once again. We purchased some cheap, but nice enough, barstools when we first moved in - knowing we'd upgrade one day. We just could never agree on what to get!! Finally, this spring we settled on these, and saved up a gift card or two to get them. They have been AWESOME. Totally worth every penny, and we are so grateful for the upgrade every time we sit down.
InstaPot Frother
This was an anniversary gift from my cousin, and we have used it every single day! It's such a treat to add cold foam to our favorite cold brew recipe. We loved it so much, we bought one for my in-laws and they are just as obsessed.
Coldbrew Maker
Another gift we have quite literally used every single day, is this coldbrew maker! It's SO easy, and we always have coffee in the fridge!
Now that I've had this Bissell Crosswave for 3 months, I can safely say I love it! Our floors seriously feel SO clean after using it. It's so convenient to be able to mop and vacuum at the same time. The only con is that you do have to take it apart to clean it out after each use. You should see the gray water that comes out!!
Reading Lawn Chair
I use this chair so much! It's foldable, so easy to pack up to take to the beach. The best feature of course, is the hole for your face and arms that allow you read upside down. Such a great invention!
Tablet Holder
Originally, I purchased this for a work event - but I use it at home all the time! It can hold your phone in portrait or tablet. So, perfect as an extended screen, or as a portable stand. Think, cooking in the kitchen while your tablet displays the recipe...or my favorite, a TV for the bath!
