The best compliment I’ve received about my decor lately is that I don’t decorate to be “on trend,” I just fill my home with things I love — whether they “go together” or not (thanks, Becky!).

It’s not that I don’t care about trends, I’m not that cool. I do care and pay attention to what’s current.
I’m influenced by trends all the time, but I also know I won’t ever have a consistently themed home (like cottage, bohemian, modern farmhouse, mid-century modern, etc.).
Examples of my decorating flair are the garland, mobiles, and charms I hang everywhere.
I love to adorn our plants and hang them from the ceilings and in our windows.

I collect my charms and garlands while thrifting and traveling, so there’s usually a story or memory attached to them.
