In this House to Home vlog, I’m making a few modern, cozy updates that actually start to pull my new construction spaces together—without just buying stuff “willy-nilly.” I’m working on my home office first, and it’s still pretty bare because I’m trying to be intentional and choose quality pieces I can keep for a long time. I unbox my new CHITA chairs (they’re technically dining chairs, but I love using pieces in unexpected ways), style them with a small drink table, and swap in a super affordable Walmart olive tree that honestly looks way more natural than I expected for the price. Then we jump into dining room updates, and this is where it starts feeling really finished. I add a sunwashed oak credenza with more of a bar-style setup, build a clean, modern gallery wall with 16x16 frames (I even tested photos on regular printer paper first), and finish it off with an antique brass rechargeable picture light. I also style the credenza with simple greenery, a candle moment, and my favorite little ceramic plates that look high-end but are still budget-friendly. If you love modern, neutral, organic, cozy vibes—and you’re always hunting for that “luxury on a budget” look—this episode is for you.
