So my Evie girl's first birthday party is next weekend and we don't even have a dining table in our kitchen! I decided to finally decide on and order a dining table and chairs.

With the pressure on, I looked at some looks I'm loving right now for inspiration and finally made some decisions! Annnd, of course the table I ordered won't be here in time for the party... But I really love the one I found and it got stuck on it! Does that ever happen to anyone else? Besides, I didn't want to just settle on one with quick shipping, but not really love it.

My inspiration images are below. Even with being a designer, I used these images to help myself figure out what I was being drawn to. Our dining space is white with a light floor, but these images helped me settle on wanting to pair a light wood table with black chairs because I'm a huge fan of the contrast.

Here are the pieces together that I ordered.

I also included my #1 go-to for curtains and a curtain rod. I love these curtains in white and they are such a nice material for a very low price because curtain panels can get SO expensive. If you have 8'-0" ceilings, go with the 96" and hang them so that they just hit the floor.

I've used the curtain rod I linked in both black and brass. It's simple and modern, and perfect. You could also pair with clip rings if you have the height.

I'll be sure to share an image when everything comes in!

Today I'm sharing some items that I'm loving from my favorite room in our current fixer upper. I'm not sure why it's randomly my favorite room in the house right now, but I think it's because it is the closest to being done! We still need to caulk and paint the trim.

First, let's talk about this rug. I originally bought it to go in front of my slider door where my dog tracks in dirt from the yard, but I tried it in here (juuust to see), and I loved it so much I couldn't take it out. It would also look great in my kitchen too though! One of the best things about is it the rubber backing, so it stays in place. I hate having to constantly straighten up my accent rugs!

I shared this hand towel and potted plant last week in my Hearth and Home for Target new arrival picks. You should probably run to Target, because they are both amazing!

I am so happy with this mirror that is a very reasonable price for the size with a thin modern frame - a combination that is surprisingly hard to find. I love the brass, but it also comes in black (which I also love) and silver. It comes in any size you could ever need, and ships quickly. I bought a smaller size for our smaller master bath, so clearly this is my new go-to mirror.

The globe vanity light we used in here is so dang good! It comes in four finishes. The aged brass doesn't look great online, but I promise it's beautiful in person!

Here's the before of this bathroom. Check out that nasty toilet! We were able to clean up the existing shower/ tub and get it looking good, but everything else had to go!

Hi there. It's been a while!

2019 was a busy year with having a baby girl, working a part time job, along with a handful of side projects, and buying and remodeling another fixer upper. I'm hoping to spend more time on this little space in 2020, and have a new look and feel coming to Dani Rose Design that I am looking forward to sharing, so make sure you stay posted.

To get things started, I am sharing some of my favorite brand new arrival items from the Hearth and Hand with Magnolia collection at Target. I'm loving the warm woods, dusty, copper tones, and playful faux plants. You can click any of the images at the bottom of this post to shop.

You can now visit my "shop my picks" tab at the top of my page any time to shop things that I am eyeing or already have in my home.

I have dreamed of getting to design a nursery for my baby someday! And guess what? Now that I'm pregnant, we have actually been in a temporary living situation since selling our house and I haven't been sure I would get the chance, BUT we are moving into a new house next week that has the perfect little room for baby girl! Here are some nurseries that I've both loved for a while and have saved or have found recently for inspiration.

Finally! A final house tour! If you don't know, we sold our house at the end of the summer while the market was hot to free us up for our next crazy adventure!

Before you scroll down, click here to look back at where we started!














Though we never intended to live in this house long term, there are days where I really miss this place. There's something about a first home that you poured your blood, sweat, and tears into that will always have a place in your heart.

GIRL! We're so excited to meet our baby girl in less than 5 months!

I swear it's something about being pregnant that is making me so anxious to get into the holiday spirit! I'm ashamed to say I've already watched a few too many Hallmark Christmas movies. Hearth & Hand for Target just released new pieces for the upcoming holidays so I am sharing some of my favorites.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10

one: Such a classic, neutral plaid stocking, but I love the red pom poms.
two: Switch your wall artwork out with this piece for the season or layer on a shelf.
three: I love the smell of a wood burning fireplace and real Christmas tree, but just in case you can't have the real thing.
four: Obsessed with wood bead garland!
five: These are so classic!
six: Greenery with a pop of red for holiday cheer.
seven: Throw some greenery into this vase for a cozy, winter arrangement.
eight: Must have for snuggling on the couch watching Christmas movies.
nine: A traditional eucalyptus wreath that would be perfect on your front door or on an empty wall in your house.
ten: Neutral enough to go with any theme you might have, and I love the dainty pattern.

I hope these pieces start to get you in the holiday spirit and inspire your shopping. Let me know what Hearth & Home pieces you are adding to your holiday decor this year!

Happy October! Are the rainy, dark days making anyone else ready to hibernate for the winter? I just got one of these wubby pullovers and I think I'm officially ready. I'm gravitating toward darker, moodier spaces with contrast for balance and texture for warmth. Obviously Studio McGee is killing it with the moody spaces because several of the spaces below are designed by them!

It's time for my fall must haves! I do love summer, but everything about fall makes it my favorite time of the year!

one: Cozy blankets are my weakness. This plaid throw is perfect for cuddling up on a fall night.
two: These would be so pretty to toss clutter in on a shelf or more as decorative on the floor for blankets or logs.
three: The chunky texture of this pillow is too good. Enough said.
four: I love the pattern and colors of this accent pillow for the season. It would pair well with other neutral pillows.
five: This olive wreath is the perfect classic wreath.
six: I have been burning this vanilla pumpkin marshmallow candle on my dining room table since September 1st. You need this candle. You're welcome.
seven: Layering doormats is the new thing. Try the trend by layering a classic plaid under your doormat.
eight: Of course you then will need a new fall themed doormat and this one is just perfection.
nine: How cute is this to serve soup or a warm baked good? It also comes in mini individual dishes which would be adorable for a dinner party.
ten: These would be so pretty on your porch with a candle at night or on your mantle or dining table filled with greenery or mini pumpkins and LED string lights for a glow.

Share with me your favorite or your own fall must have!

Am I the only one who thinks it's refreshing to see the wood kitchen trend making a come back after painted shaker cabinets have been so popular? I'm loving the natural, medium wood tones we are seeing. It works beautifully in a variety of kitchen styles and material selections.

Bringing back wood cabinets to the kitchen is a trend to love that adds warmth and works well paired with light painted cabinets without sacrificing a clean, white look or dark painted cabinets for a modern, dramatic look. Keeping wood cabinetry a natural tone adds texture and achieves an effortless, organic style.
