HOW-TO-MAKE-AN-EASY-DIY-OUTDOOR-MOVIE-SCREEN-WITH-STAND

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

This week has been a doozy. My parents typically help me out with childcare, but they have been traveling for almost month now and this week Jon had a crazy schedule, which meant this momma was strapped for time. Add to that a day off from school for election day and today off for Veteran’s […]

gold wire elephant letter holder

How adorable is this file organizer! Totally a must have for the Effortless Style office! I’m in full on Fall shopping mode. I don’t normally buy a ton for myself. It’s always about the boys and I’m lucky if I grab a couple of tops, while on a Target run, but this season I decided […]

fall pattern on rugs

Fall is finally here! Things were getting a bit confusing in NY, because we had so many warm days where I was still rocking shorts and my flowers were completely confused with my hydrangeas blooming all over again. The end of October has bought the crisp weather and my sweaters are out and hot cider […]

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
