We've been enjoying outdoor living now that summer is officially here but one thing that'll ruin an outdoor gathering real quick? Flies and mosquitoes 🦟🙅🏼‍♀️! Last weekend I whipped up my first ever candle (a giant one at that) and let me tell you...it was the easiest DIY I've probably ever done and something that'll probably become a new summer time tradition year after year! If you're curious at all on how I made this head over to the blog for the step-by-step instructions! Do you have any summertime traditions too? . . . . . #homebunch #mystylishspace #ruedaily #beckiowensfeature #decorhashtag #interiorgoals #interior123 #interiortrend #apartmenttherapy #showemyourstyled #currentdesignsituation #designinspo #styleitpretty #myinspiredhouse #howyouhome #houseenvy #designsponge #houseandhome #makehomeyours #hometohave #calihomevibes #habitatandhome #decorcrushing #decorstop #diy #candlemaking #outdoorliving
Let's talk project creep: I've been trying really (really, really) hard to focus on one project at a time before starting on something new - I'm notorious for project hopping - but I'm starting to slide down that slippery slope. Help! I still need to finish the dining room bench, I started a DIY painting project on a giant canvas I picked up yesterday on a whim, I promised you guys a DIY citronella candle, and let's not forget about this room here ⬆️😬. Last weekend we knocked out a whole bunch of to-dos here: running electrical for the wall mounted TV, patching/texturing walls from said electrical work, hanging new curtains, and buying/building a new credenza from Ikea but per usual, I think this room just needs ONE more thing 🤪: contrast trim! Do you do this too?! Tell me I'm not the only one! . . . . . #homebunch #mystylishspace #ruedaily #beckiowensfeature #decorhashtag #interiorgoals #interior123 #interiortrend #apartmenttherapy #showemyourstyled #currentdesignsituation #designinspo #styleitpretty #myinspiredhouse #howyouhome #houseenvy #designsponge #houseandhome #makehomeyours #hometohave #calihomevibes #habitatandhome #decorcrushing #decorstop #interiorstyling #homedecor #projectcreep
Over dinner last night I asked "if you had to choose one season to live in for the rest of your life, what would it be?" Sikmon chose Spring 🌷💐 and I chose Fall 🍂☕. But! I gotta say...these beautiful Summer days we've been having lately are kinda winning me over 🌅💁🏼‍♀️. Slightly breezy and not too hot is what a California summer is all about! What season would you chose of you could only pick one? . Sharing my favorite @vitruvi essential oil blends for summer below ⬇️: . In the morning: 8 drops Boost and 2 drops of lemongrass (smells like sunshine + citrus) . In the evening: 10 drops bergamot, 6 drops lemon, and 4 drops geranium (smells fresh but cozy) . Anytime: 10 drops Pacific (smells like a drive down PCH) . USE CODE THEHOMEBODYHOUSE for 20% off you're entire purchase at Vitruvi . . . . . #essentialoils #essentialoils101 #vitruvi #californiacasual #darlinghome #inspiremehomedecor #inspiremeneutral #standoutstyling #thatroomiseverything #prettyandoverlooked #myhouseidea #mypinterest #hunkerhome #homesohard #instahomeflavor #doingneutralright #heyhomehey #cljsquad #myhomevibe #ltkhome #prettylittleinteriors #mycreativeinterior #inmydomaine #roomhints #fearlesshome #stellarspaces #lovethewayyouhome
Last night we got invited to the neighborhood potluck 😬 this upcoming weekend. I'm equal parts excited and terrified. Actually, that's a lie. I'm basically just freaking out right now. I'm a big-time introvert that kinda wants to be an extrovert but I'm awkward AF! A wave 👋🏻 across the street or nod of the head as we drive by is about all my introverted self is comfortable doing but a potluck? With strangers? I'm 💩 my pants. Sikmon is introverted too but he's a master at small talk and can tread water easily amongst a group of strangers... meanwhile I'll surely be drowning 🚢 in a sea of embarrassment. And in a totally introverted, awkward AF move, I bought my daughter a bubble machine that we use in the front yard and it lures all the neighborhood kids to come play with her. I'm pretty sure this is why we got the invite 😆 but it's also my mastermind attempt to make my daughter an extrovert and I think it's working! I may be introverted but at least I'm smart 😂 LOL. . In all seriousness though, I'm really looking forward to the potluck and happy to be living and raising our daughter in a neighborhood like this that does these things. Please gimme your VERY BEST potluck recipe suggestions so that I can bring something that'll knock their socks off so that even if I'm awkward AF, at least my food will redeem me this weekend 😂 . . . . . #homebunch #mystylishspace #ruedaily #beckiowensfeature #decorhashtag #interiorgoals #interior123 #interiortrend #apartmenttherapy #showemyourstyled #currentdesignsituation #designinspo #styleitpretty #myinspiredhouse #howyouhome #houseenvy #designsponge #houseandhome #makehomeyours #hometohave #calihomevibes #habitatandhome #decorcrushing #decorstop #potluck #recipes #neighborhood
I love summer but I don't love the flies 🦟 that find their way into our home because it's inevitable that the screen door is left open this time of year. #Ad Now that our home is armed with @zevoinsect , my fly shooing days are over and I can spend less time being a door monitor and more time playing outside with my daughter! Zevo contains no harsh chemicals and is formulated with essential oils and nature inspired active ingredients that effectively kill bugs 🚫🐜🐝while still being safe to use around people and pets when used as directed. Zevo works to eliminate the bugs I see with their sprays and the bugs that I don't with their traps. I feel good knowing that I have the tools to keep our home free of questionable ingredients AND bugs this summer! Bugs may be smart, but Zevo is way smarter! . Zevo is now available at select Home Depot stores - our home away from home - and we were so excited when we spotted it on the shelf last week. Click the link in my bio to see if your store carries it too! . . . . . #WaySmarterThanBugs #AvailableAtHomeDepot #californiacasual #darlinghome #inspiremehomedecor #inspiremeneutral #standoutstyling #thatroomiseverything #prettyandoverlooked #myhouseidea #mypinterest #hunkerhome #homesohard #instahomeflavor #doingneutralright #heyhomehey #cljsquad #myhomevibe #ltkhome #prettylittleinteriors #mycreativeinterior #inmydomaine #roomhints #fearlesshome #stellarspaces #lovethewayyouhome
Every year around this time I start struggling to fall/stay asleep once summer rolls around and it stays hotter, longer...anybody else 🙋🏼‍♀️? Needless to say, I'm not very pleasant in the mornings when my sleep is compromised 😬. If you know me, then you know that I need a full 7-8 hrs of good quality sleep otherwise it's no bueno 🙅🏼‍♀️ so we decided to swap out our winter bedding in favor of something lighter. The @brooklinen linen duvet in chambray, is magical! My sleep has been restored and no one is more thankful than Sikmon 🙌🏻😂. Seriously! It envelopes you in a buttery soft hug while still being breathable and airy and my sleep is better than it's been in a long time - check out my stories for video proof that Sikmon took the other night 😆...me passed out in seconds with my thumb on the screen, mid IG story scroll. If that's not serious snoozing, then I don't know what is 🧖🤷🏼‍♀️😴! . Better yet, @brooklinen offers QUALITY bedding at an AFFORDABLE price! That means YOU too can avoid the sleepless summer nights and wake up feeling fresh and ready to tackle the day! Use code DANAE10 for 10% any order over $50! . . . . . #brooklinen #mybrooklinenstyle #homebunch #mystylishspace #ruedaily #beckiowensfeature #decorhashtag #interiorgoals #interior123 #interiortrend #apartmenttherapy #showemyourstyled #currentdesignsituation #designinspo #styleitpretty #myinspiredhouse #howyouhome #houseenvy #designsponge #houseandhome #makehomeyours #hometohave #calihomevibes #habitatandhome #decorcrushing #decorstop #bedding
