There's no better time to save on home decor and furniture than holiday weekends! I'm no stranger to waiting for weekends like this snag great deals on high-priced items. But it's also a good time to stock up on little knick knacks too! I was browsing some of my favorite online shops this morning, so I figured I'd share some items I'm swooning over that are currently discounted. Happy shopping and happy Memorial Day!

Can you believe Easter is almost here?! This year seems like it is already flying by, but I'm so glad spring is finally here. To me, the season represents everything good about life: new beginnings, new growth and new life. I am so excited for warmer days ahead and getting back out in the garden! And what better way to celebrate the occasion with a beautiful Easter brunch at home? Here's how I'm styling my table for an Easter meal with close family. The inspiration for this t

Update July 21, 2022 (Originally Posted on March 17, 2021) Wow, this post has gotten so much love on Pinterest and Instagram ! If you found your way here via social media, welcome! Hackett House Studio is a luxury interior design studio located in Columbus, OH and serving clients nationwide. Although our studio doesn't get into too many DIYs in our design work, occasionally I get an idea I just have to try to execute. And thus, my Cane Closet Doors were born. Since publishin

You know what makes console tables so great? Aside from the fact that they are perfect for tossing a pair of keys on when you walk in the door, they largely don't have many functions. Why is this great, you ask? Because it means they are a blank slate for styling! Put a bowl on top for the keys or baskets underneath for storage, and then let your little styling heart run wild! I shared the below console (which also doubles as a dry bar) on my instagram a few weeks back and wa

Oftentimes when it comes to designing our homes, there's always some kind of reason to "wait". You wait to hang artwork until you can get around to painting, or you wait to add decor finishes to your kitchen until you can completely remodel the whole thing. But just saying that out loud sounds CRAZY... because it is! Why do we do this? We spend years looking at a barren kitchen we don't love simply because we're saving up for the big remodel. It's nuts! I propose an alterna

I'll admit it -- it took me far too long to set up a dedicated work from home space in my house. Call it laziness or just denial about how long the pandemic would last, I didn't realize how badly I needed a dedicated space to be productive until I finally pulled the trigger. It really is a game changer for my productivity and my creativity (and also my sanity). Since my home is fairly small, I was so honored that the wonderful folks at Gravity reached out and asked me to tal

Design: Hackett House Studio (Product sources listed below) About three months into working from home, I finally realized that quarantine was going to be more permanent than I had originally anticipated. At the beginning of the stay-at home order, I worked from anywhere -- my kitchen counter, patio table or, when I was I really lazy, my bed. However, I started to get the itch to have a dedicated place to do my work. In fact, as much as I loved working from home, I found mysel

Wellness-focused design goes far beyond creating an aesthetically pleasing space, it also includes considering important factors like your home's air quality. A few years ago, I was introduced to the harmful effects that some con ventional cleaning products can have our our health. Traditional cleaning products (think Mr. Clean or Lysol) can emit harmful VOCs into our home atmospheres, including formaldehyde which is a known carcinogen, and which may cause a myriad of differe
