If you’ve been with me for a while, you know how much I love January. ;) I know. January in Chicago. What could be worse?! But because everyone is utterly exhausted 🤪, there are fewer events and plans and I actually have the time to tidy, purge, organize and clean well. It’s the best feeling. I just adore hitting the reset button!

The Wayfair Weekend Clearance event is taking place today (January 17th) through the 21st, during which you can take up to 70 percent off and get fast shipping! It’s the perfect time to buckle down and get to some easy yet insanely satisfying home projects that have been on the list for ages. ;) Not every worthwhile makeover needs to take months on end; a quick one can make a huge impact on everyday life, too. Mic drop.

I had a delightful little week over here in Chicago. I ventured up to the Wayfair store in Wilmette again, but this time to peruse the holiday selection. It was so fun! I’ll be honest and say that Christmas has been the furthest thing from my mind these days, but the store really did get me into the spirit. I came home with a bunch of seasonal goodies—mostly decor for our powder room glow-up project—and had a blast setting them up and making our home feel cozy.

Btw: Right now, Wayfair is having its Black Friday Sneak Peek event, when you can take up to 70 percent off the store and website—and get fast shipping. Same deals that you’ll see on actual Black Friday without waking up early or products selling out. ;)

If you’ve been following along for some time, you know I love a good wallpaper transformation. I know, I know. It can be a lot of work. But not if you go with quality paper! And gosh, the payout is worth it.

There’s not much about the word transformation that suggests easy, but I love a good glow-up that doesn’t uproot lives and empty bank accounts! Doesn’t it feel like you’re beating the system?! (I must note here, however, that the system almost always beats me.)
