Custom media units give your space a sophisticated, designer look, but they typically cost thousands. Personally, I have nothing against making my home look fabulous, but I also need to pay the bills. Therefore, when a hack comes along that shows off how to get a custom look at a bargain price, I pay attention. It’s projects like this sweet media console from Michaela Shoebridge (@mishkashoe) that inspire me to think outside the box when it comes to home furniture and accessories.

I’ve had my eyes on changeable frames like this for a while now. I figure they would make it easier to show off my son’s ever-growing collection of artwork, but a lot of the ones I’ve seen get pricey. That’s why I love this hack from Debbie (@debstari) which highlights the popular IKEA FISKBO frames. It seems like I’m not the only one. With over 175 likes, this quick project has commenters praising its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

According to the IKEA Life at Home Report 2023, 40% of people feel most at peace when their homes are organized.

I firmly believe that great design engages all the senses, and incorporating certain aromas into your home affects its entire ambiance. A lot of it has to do with scent memory, which could explain why we love to use certain fragrances during the holidays. The smell of cinnamon, evergreen, peppermint, and other popular Christmas scents tend to make me nostalgic for Christmases of long ago.

Throwing a party sounds like a great idea — until you start adding up all the receipts and realize you spent way more than you planned. I speak from experience because that’s precisely what I did the first time I hosted Christmas. I wanted everything to be perfect, and I thought that meant spending a lot, but I know better now. Today, I’m all about finding ways to host a holiday party that doesn’t drain my wallet.
