The latest issue of House Beautiful features this charming California home by designer Mark D. Sikes. I LOVE everything Mark designs! From his successful clothing line- MDS Stripes to his furniture and fabric lines. I’m seriously crushing on all of Mark’s home decor pieces over at One Kings Lane.  So naturally, I had to head over to his site to see if I could see more of this pretty “refresh” Mark did for his clients.

Mark’s portfolio is proving to be such a great source of inspiration as I try to start envisioning what our beach house decor will look like. Can never get enough of this “laid back California meets East coast prep” style Mark is so well known for.

Happy Amazon Prime Day! I’m going to be checking out the deals over there shortly, but in honor of this major mid summer sale – I thought I’d do a little shout out to some of the super chic and affordable home decor pieces available at this online mega store.

Last week, I got a question on Instagram asking about my favorite online places to shop and I neglected to mention Amazon…which is crazy! Because as my UPS delivery guy can attest, I’m always ordering from this site. So if an Amazon devotee like myself can forget about all the great design pieces there, maybe it’s worth mentioning here.

We tend to pretty much order everything from Amazon these days, like treats for Cosmo, these fiber crackers and of course a whole lot of  books! But, I also manage to find so many beautiful home decor items at great prices – with Prime shipping, the whole thing becomes a no brainer! So here’s a look at just some of my current and all time favorite home decor pieces from Amazon. You can always find even more of my picks here! Happy hunting!

PS: Another epic mid summer sale going on right now!
