Hey guys—welcome back. In this House to Home vlog I’m doing a bunch of cozy modern updates around the house while also getting ready to host family for a holiday hot cocoa party. I start in my office because that blank back wall has been driving me crazy, so I partnered with Desenio and built a simple, neutral gallery wall with oak frames and warm brown/cream tones. I also share how I’m trying to get my life together for next year with a reset mindset—getting back into the gym, eating a little healthier, and trying a premium collagen meal replacement shake from The Collagen Co. Then we move into my primary bedroom where I finally create a cozy reading nook. I bring in the Ashlie boucle swivel chair from Kinwell (it’s big, comfy, and fills the corner perfectly), and I test out the vibe with an affordable faux olive tree behind it. I also show some real-life hosting prep: minimal, earthy gift wrapping with Target paper + twine, a little luxury upgrade for the guest bath with Aesop soap, and quick organizing/cleaning before everyone arrives. The goal is always the same—modern, neutral, cozy… and making it feel high-end without blowing the budget.
