What I’m Adding to My Home This Year: A Coastal-Inspired Refresh

Spring has this beautiful way of encouraging us to start fresh—not just in our routines or wardrobes, but inside our homes too. Lately, I’ve been giving some attention to the little corners that often get overlooked during the busier months. Nothing dramatic, just subtle touches to breathe new life into each space. As I map out what I’d like to add to our home this year, I thought it might be fun to share a glimpse of what’s on my list—things I’m thoughtfully collecting that feel light, coastal, and joyfully lived-in.

This isn’t about rushing into a total overhaul. Instead, I’m taking a slow and steady approach—adding pieces I truly love, ones I know we’ll treasure for many seasons ahead. If you’re also feeling inspired to refresh your space, I hope you find a little spark of joy in the things I’ve picked out so far.


Lily of the Valley Pillow Covers: A Floral Touch of Spring

There’s something quietly elegant about floral textiles, and the Lily of the Valley pillow covers are the kind of pieces that never go out of style. I was immediately drawn to the soft, graceful pattern, especially in the coastal blue tone—it feels like a breath of fresh air in pillow form. Perfect for layering on the couch or brightening up a guest bed. And even better—they’re currently 20% off!


The Copa Chair: Effortless Elegance with Endless Potential

I can’t get over how refined the Copa Chair looks—just the right blend of comfort and sophistication. I’m planning to place one at each end of our dining table, but what makes these chairs truly special is their versatility. Whether it’s occasional seating in the living room or a stylish accent in the bedroom, they blend beautifully into any setting. A timeless choice, and yes—also 20% off.


Iris Floral Blackout Curtains: A Dreamy View in Bloom

I’ve been thinking about these Iris Floral curtains ever since I saw them. With soft blue and green blossoms on a clean white background, they strike a perfect balance between delicate and fresh. I’ll be hanging them on the glass doors that lead out to our patio, right in the dining room. The bonus? They’ll share the space with the Copa chairs, tying the whole room together in the dreamiest way.


The Fillmore Bed: A Serene Coastal Escape

For the bedroom, I’ve been swooning over the Fillmore Bed upholstered in—you guessed it—the same Lily of the Valley print I mentioned earlier. In coastal blues, it feels peaceful and inviting, like a quiet seaside retreat. I can already picture slow weekend mornings in that space, coffee in hand, windows cracked open to let in the breeze. A beautiful anchor piece for the room—and yes, this one’s 20% off too.


Why This Matters: More Than Just a Pretty Room

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that decorating a home isn’t about chasing trends or perfection. It’s about creating spaces that feel welcoming, joyful, and deeply personal. Each of these pieces carries a little story with it—why I chose it, how I hope it will make our home feel, and who I’ll share it with.

There’s beauty in taking your time. In choosing items that make you smile each time you walk past them. In building a home that doesn’t just look nice but feels full of life.

So as I gradually add these special pieces to our space, I’ll be sharing little updates and peeks behind the scenes. I’m so grateful to have you along for the journey—it means the world that you’re here.


If you’re thinking about freshening up your home this year, I hope this list offered a little inspiration. Whether you’re planning a full refresh or simply want to swap in a new pillow or curtain panel, every thoughtful choice adds up to a home you love more deeply.

With love from the coast,
