It’s about that time where you’re either finishing your Holiday shopping or just starting! For me, I’m mostly done but still searching for a few perfect items. Some of my favorite gifts to give are ones that make the receiver feel the warm and cozies.
That’s why I’m introducing you to Sunday Citizen, a brand with the coziest bedding and loungewear!
Our dining room features a mid-century table and chair set from West Elm that was our first “adult” purchase after our wedding. I added a touch of boho with a Persian rug from Target! I absolutely love the colors and it fits with the table runner and Our Place tableware I already had.
While we were house hunting, a dining room was a must-have! Mostly because we had this Mid-century West Elm set and I couldn’t let it go. Where do we eat most meals? On the couch 🙂 BUT it is perfect for when we have friends over and even expands to seat two more.
When it comes to certain home pieces, it’s worth the $$ for the quality. West Elm does a great job with the design and the quality is always there! The lines and details in our Mid-century Expandable Dining Table give some interest while remaining timeless. They also have a round/oval option!
I love the statement our dining room chandelier makes, even though it’s huge! Just a tip, actually look at the size of light figures, not just the design 🙂
Creating our mid-century hygge bedroom: Hello all! My husband and I purchased our first home in December 2020! The 1951 home is full of natural light, arches, and little touches of character. My first step was to paint everything white! I used Sherwin Willians Alabaster for the walls and it’s perfect. My inspiration for our home came from my love for mid-century furnishings and the hygge lifestyle!
hyg·ge
noun
a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).
Working with the warm white paint color I mixed in creams, ivory, and bright white for a classic feel that still gave interest. Most of our bedding can be found at Target! I love the Hearth and Hand with Magnolia collections so much (like everyone) and they did an amazing job with this solid quilt and linen blend euro pillows! I also found the perfect little lumbar pillow there, Oversize Lumbar Woven Global Pillow – Threshold™
Adding Texture | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
While I LOVE white, I needed to give the space some dimension. Texture is a big contributor when you are using a lot of the same color family. The Waffell Diamond Textured Trellis Tassel Area Rug from @rugsusaand the tassel throw blanket (Home Goods) add to the hygge bedroom vibes!
Adding Color | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
While all the base elements are neutrals, I added pops of color in pieces I can easily change depending on my mood and the season. The painting you see on the wall (TJMaxx, see similar options below) is where I worked from and added in some pink, tan, and green in the plants. I also made sure to pick a mid-century bed frame that was wood for extra warmth.
Adding Accents | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
For the nightstands, I actually found these at Home Goods for $30 each! The decor for them is either thrifted or from Home Goods as well.

This week I showed you three outfit ideas for transitioning from summer to fall! My top tip for this is to wear summer on the bottom, fall on the top, or vice versa. I also love to add layers so you can take them off if you get too hot!
Today I am showing you guys how I style my bar cart to double as a coffee bar in our two-bedroomapartment! With our apartment layout, we have a little nook off of the kitchen where I have our bar cart. To be honest, most of the alcohol hasn’t been drunk for years…and it’s mostly used for my coffee bar!
I also have a Keurig K-Cafe machine that uses k-cups and has a milk frother built-in. My thoughts getting this machine was that it would make espresso like the Nespresso machine, but I do not recommend it if that’s also what you are wanting. The espresso is not airy and creamy with the K-Cafe, it’s more just strong coffee. I use it for regular coffee and the milk frother.
My last coffee tool is my Bodum french press, which makes the best coffee ever, but I am too lazy to clean it regularly 🙂
Syrups
Currently, I am using Torani syrups. I like the way their sugar free syrups taste (mostly)! I use these for iced coffees, iced espresso, and hot lattes.
Decor and Mugs
I will link any decor and mugs that I can find! A lot of it is Target, Hobby Lobby, or thrifted. I am using a tiered cupcake/food stand to hold my mugs (you don’t want to know how many MORE mugs I own). Click here for the buffalo check mug!
I switch up my mugs and decor depending on the season/holiday.
Dress picks from Target that are perfect to transition into fall and under $40! About my lookL I am wearing #4- Women’s Puff Short Sleeve Tiered Dress – A New Day™ in Burgundy in a size Large (it is oversized so go with your normal or size down). My shoes were purchased secondhand and are Everlane “The Traner” sneakers. Earrings are from ASOS earlier this year! Glasses are from Warby Parker.
I’m back with another “Styled 3 Ways” and this time it’s a classic sweater tank in a fun mustard color!
Solid basics like this J. Crew Factory sweater tank are a perfect wardrobe staple. For these looks, I took one tank and styled it 3 ways that are easy for summer and comfy for working from home! Sweater tanks give you a little depth and texture to your layers and I always see them at the thrift. I love a good pattern mixed in, but don’t be afraid to rock a solid only look!
Recently I purged 80% of my personal closet and it felt so good! I decided to rework my wardrobe for what fits my current lifestyle with basic pieces I can mix and match. When you are doing this a good place to start is to choose a color palette! Pick a few colors you love so when you are out shopping you can easily coordinate your buys. Of course, you don’t have to stick to your palette, but it will help you make quick outfits!
See my 3 styled looks with a sweater tank below and don’t forget to tell me your favorite in the comments!
