Modern Farmhouse Storage Baskets with Wayfair

This post is a part of a recent collaboration with Wayfair. All photos, words, and opinions are my own. Please see the disclosure on my about page for more information.

Modern Farmhouse Storage Baskets with Wayfair

As you can probably imagine as a stylist and home blogger, I have a pretty big hoarding-all-the-home-decor problem. More specifically though, I have a give-me-all-the-baskets-and-vases problem. Not to mention, there’s nothing that drives me and my OCD tendencies crazier than an unorganized and cluttered bookshelf.

Essentially, today’s blog post is about how I had given up on the bookshelf in my office and how Wayfair ended up saving the day (and my sanity.) In attempt to bring this little office nook to life and make it a mini space of inspiration as I walked through the door each day, I needed something to tackle the chaos. Thankfully, that’s where Wayfair came in. Wayfair challenged several bloggers to reorganize a space in their home using Wayfair’s storage bins, boxes, and baskets – and I don’t think that I could have accepted fast enough. Not only is Wayfair next to Homegoods as one of my favorite sources for home decor shopping, but it also has some of the best prices. You know what that means? Money saved to spend on more home decor. (But, don’t tell my husband that part!)

See the Before & After Below!

Before

When it comes to being a certified wedding planner, designer, and blogger, my office is typically where most of my time is spent behind the scenes. When I am constantly on the go with client meetings, this bookshelf in my office is always used as a catch-all for all the day-to-day happenings of running my blog and business. In turn, the bookshelf was cluttered, busy, and extremely unorganized. It was overwhelming every time I would even look at it. To be honest, this before photo was on a really good day. Like, one of those parents-are-dropping-in-and-you-want-to-show-that-you-actually-clean type of good days. I can promise you it didn’t wake up that way, and it’s definitely not flawless.

After

I purchased the Shore Thing Basket Set to each organize my magazine features, office supplies, and other day-to-day essentials as well as the Seagrass Basket with Handles to add in a cozy touch. (Who doesn’t have throws in their office for mornings with coffee?) One thing I took into consideration with this challenge was that I didn’t want to add too many baskets to the bookshelf. That’s because it would still look cluttered and defeat the purpose of it all. In this case, less was definitely going to be more!

Needless to say, I absolutely love how it turned out. It’s functional yet styled well, and the natural texture of the seagrass baskets definitely pops against the white and gray of my home’s heart. Not to mention, there’s a huge change to the feeling this little office nook puts off. It just goes to show how some simple storage baskets and minor organization can completely give a new vibe to a space! Say goodbye to the messy catch-all and hello to some peace of mind!

One thing that failed me during this challenge was definitely my will power. While searching for the baskets I wanted to use on the bookshelf in my office, I couldn’t help but fall down the Wayfair rabbit hole and plan out upcoming projects I want to do to add to the design of our new home. Check out my ‘wish list’ below of items that are currently in my online shopping cart – and one click away from being in my own home! The best part?

    The baskets are so cute! I am the same way about bookshelves being unorganized, it is just so much nicer to not have clutter! I also love that your dog is in one of the photos. 🙂

Introducing: baby jail! 👶🏼🍼 (well, a sliv Introducing: baby jail! 👶🏼🍼 (well, a sliver view of it.) Chaos ensued today from putting that thing together. I obviously didn’t read the dimensions because it’s large, in charge, and takes up a lot of room in our living room — which in turn caused me to rearrange all our furniture. 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 Not only did I get a great workout 🤪 but Willie also found a new perch to bark at the neighbors out the front door. But you know what? This is real life — and I LOVE this season of life that God has blessed me with. With two babies in heaven, I’ve prayed for this season for so long. ❤️ And while it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing thing on Instagram, I hope to inspire you with the real life of living where you love, in the season of life that you’re in. ✨❤️ #ahostinghome

I was going to wait for it to be completely done, I was going to wait for it to be completely done, but I can’t help myself! ✨ Tackled this china cabinet yesterday, and all I can say is WOW WHAT A TRANSFORMATION. (Swipe to see the before! ➡️) 😍👏🏼 This china cabinet belonged to my grandmother, and It’s been so fun getting to make it my own and make it apart of my home. I painted it with @behrpaint chalk paint in the color ‘Classic Noir’ and accented it with the most darling @wallpops wallpaper in the back. Now I just need to do the finishing touches by rub n’ buffing the hardware, and it’ll be done. 😍 I originally wanted to paint it white because I was nervous to paint it black— but now I’m SO glad I did! My motto for 2021: don’t be afraid to be bold with design! (It’s just paint! 😉) So tell me, what do y’all think?! #ahostinghome
Don’t mind me, just chilling in my comfy clothes Don’t mind me, just chilling in my comfy clothes and slippers admiring the work that I did today. Master bathroom paint is (pretty much) finished, and I’m already in love with how my vision for it is coming together. Rob keeps laughing because this all started with needing to fix our shower... yet I have to remind him that he knew what he got into when he married me. 😘 I can’t believe how much painting this little wall made our marble tile pop! Now I want to put this color everywhere in my house. 😍 P.S. Did you catch some paint project tips in my stories today? ✨#ahostinghome

I feel like it’s officially that weird transitio I feel like it’s officially that weird transition time of year with my home decor, y’all! Too early for Spring, yet when I put Christmas decor away, I like to put it all away so I can have a fresh and clean slate for the new year. That means lots of greenery and fresh additions mixed with cozy textures to give it a clean and fresh feeling while I focus on projects and things around the house for the new year. How do y’all like to transition and decorate after Christmas? #ahostinghome

Hello, progress photo! My name is Cathy, and I lov Hello, progress photo! My name is Cathy, and I loveee to paint! ✨❤️ While I only get small slivers of time right now because I’m a mama to a sweet newborn, I’m making the most of it — and our master bathroom is slowly getting its much needed facelift. Our new shower door won’t get delivered until later this month, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me from getting my hands on the rest of the walls! I absolutely love this Pure White by @sherwinwilliams — it’s the same white I used when I redid our guest bathroom. It’s the perfect neutral white that is going to make this space look so much bigger and brighter! 😍 #ahostinghome
This entryway makeover was another one of my favor This entryway makeover was another one of my favorite DIY projects in 2020, inspired by @mindfullygray’s entry and @thejadebennett’s color vibes. It’s crazy how much of a difference paint and a wood board with hooks can make! ✨ It completely transformed this space and gave it so much functionality. (SWIPE ➡️ to see the before!) I see a lot more paint and DIYs in 2021 — and I CAN’T WAIT! 👏🏼

Happy New Year, friends! ✨ As I mentioned on Ins Happy New Year, friends! ✨ As I mentioned on Insta Stories the other day, we ended 2020 with a leak in our master bathroom that is making us take out our builder grade shower insert and redo it (so 2020, right? 🤦🏼‍♀️) — so we’re starting out 2021 with a master bathroom makeover! ✨ Since we have to redo the shower, we decided to go ahead and makeover the rest of the bathroom too because it’s a space we really haven’t touched yet. I’ve been dying to get my hands on it, but I have always been too hesitant and unsure of what I wanted to do. Channeling my goal for 2021 of being bold and fearless in my DIY projects this year, we’re going for it! Here’s a peek at the design board I have working so far, and you can see the progress and behind the scenes on Instagram stories as we go. (I’ve started saving it all to a highlight on my profile too!) To say I can’t wait is a bit of an understatement. So tell me, what do you think of my vision so far?! #ahostinghome
Looking back through 2020, our guest bathroom make Looking back through 2020, our guest bathroom makeover was definitely one of my favorite projects we did this year! It was funky and bold and totally out of my comfort zone when it came to my decorating style, and I think that’s why I’m so obsessed with it! Is it weird to say that my guest bathroom inspires me everyday? ✨ This next year my goal is to be bold with my design choices and projects while being fearless in picking up a tool and trying something new — and I can’t wait to kick it off with our master bathroom makeover! ✨ What are your goals for the new year? #ahostinghome

Alexa — take down the Christmas decor. 👏🏼 Alexa — take down the Christmas decor. 👏🏼 // When do y’all typically take down your Christmas decor? I usually keep up my Christmas decor until after the new year, but I’ve been craving a clean slate for all the fun projects I want to do (since I had to put a lot of them on pause after I got pregnant!) Alsoooo it’s been up since the beginning of October because I was a crazy nesting pregnant lady — so it’s about time, right? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😂 Now my house feels extremely empty, but I can’t wait for something fresh for the new year! ✨ #ahostinghome
