A few of you were asking for the Styling Formulas I shared in Saturday’s video. Some of you even paused the video to screenshot them (I see you and I love you! 😄).
Good news: they’re up on my blog! 🙌
I’ve put together easy-to-save graphics AND a simple breakdown of how to style a coffee table, sideboard, and mantel using just 5 cozy elements each. These formulas are my go-to when I want to make a space look polished but still homey... without overthinking it.
✨ Grab them here: thediymommy.com/nancy-meyers-inspired-living-room-…
Save it, print it, pin it; whatever helps you create that cozy, collected look you love!

👀 SNEAK PEEK!
Can you guess what inspired this corner of my living room? That's right - I finally achieved my Nancy Meyers coastal cottage dreams for Spring & Summer!
Tomorrow's new video is all about transforming my living room using IKEA pieces, DIYs (like an ottoman slipcover from an old linen sheet!) and thrift store finds for that "Something's Gotta Give" aesthetic I've been loving. You'll see how slipcovered sofas, my newly painted sideboard, and some incredible thrifted treasures came together to create the most stunning space!
✨ MEMBERS: This video has dropped EARLY for you now! Check your Members tab to be the first to see the full transformation! ✨
Full video coming tomorrow morning for everyone else! Who's excited to see the complete before & after?

TOMORROW morning for everyone, and RIGHT NOW for Members!
I'm sharing my favourite DIYs using affordable Dollar Tree finds that actually helped me declutter my countertops and make my kitchen look expensive (without the price tag 😍).
From a glam gold coffee jar makeover to a chic stove-side turntable and a tray made with wooden dice (yes, really!), these simple DIYs are beautiful, functional, and budget-friendly.
If your kitchen needs a little refresh, I think you'll love this one!
Let me know in the comments: which kitchen zone is your biggest challenge to keep organized? I’d love to help you solve it in a future video! 💬

You see the finished videos, the cozy DIYs, the room makeovers… but behind the scenes, there’s a real business that supports my family and has grown from the ground up over the past 16 years.
This week, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing **exactly** how I make money online as a full-time content creator: from YouTube ad revenue to blogging, affiliate links, product sales, and more.
If you’ve ever wondered how creators actually earn an income (or you’re dreaming about building something of your own) this post is for you.

And thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means more than you know!

My fave veggie chopper is on saaaaale! Find it here: geni.us/tGABmM *
I love using this to make perfectly chopped salads for lunch, or it's the best for cutting onions! 🧅 You might remember I featured it on a video in January and I still love it!
Have you tried this chopper yet? What do you think of it?
