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!

Currently in My Wayfair Online Shopping Cart

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? Wayfair is having a sale right now of up to 70% off with their July Blowout Sale. Get. That.

    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. 🙂

Celebrating John’s first year of holidays is som Celebrating John’s first year of holidays is something that I have loved and looked forward to so much. While we will be teaching John the real meaning behind Easter as he grows, I think celebrating with a fun Easter basket each year will be a great way to kick off the Spring season. I remember growing up my mom always had Easter baskets waiting for us in the morning, with candy filled eggs, fun activities, and little seasonal toys / treats. My parents would hide those plastic eggs in our yard, and we’d hunt (and re-hunt) them for hours. It’s those memories and traditions that I cherish and hope to start with John this year. I had so much fun this week putting together a little basket for John’s first Easter. I shared all the details on what’s inside as well as a lot of other baby Easter basket ideas over on the blog today if you’re in need of last minute inspiration! ➡️ ahostinghome.com or click the link in my profile bio. ✨ #ahostinghome

I love when a shopping trip turns into a major str I love when a shopping trip turns into a major stroke of inspiration! We picked up these new beautiful stoneware dishes over the weekend, and I immediately felt so inspired to create a sweet and simple Spring tablescape with them. The lemon jars and greenery in my dough bowl give off a fresh Spring feel. Meanwhile, with the subtle touches of the season with the rabbit linen napkins and the garden label place cards, I think it’s really the perfect look for Easter, Mother’s Day, or any other meal with your loved ones that you want to make a little more special this Spring.

hello Spring,☀️👋🏼 so nice of you to join hello Spring,☀️👋🏼 so nice of you to join us. Leave the pollen at home and let’s make some memories. I don’t know about you but I am always SO excited at the start of a new season. I’m looking forward to our master bathroom / shower (hopefully 🤪) being finished — and a bunch of other DIY projects I have planned (and promise not to leave Rob in charge of 😂) to refresh our home this year. I’m also so excited for sunny days and warmer weather to start getting outside with this babe! ☀️👶🏼🦋 What are you looking forward to this Spring? I’ll be back tomorrow to share a simple spring tablescape in my dining room featuring some new dishes that I snagged while shopping this weekend! #ahostinghome
Can someone please tell me how this little nugget Can someone please tell me how this little nugget is 5 MONTHS OLD today!? 🌈🦋 John Robert is a spunky firecracker who would rather stand (and run) than practice sitting still. He loves his snuggle puppy (and real puppy, Willie 🐶), anything Sophie the giraffe, and rolling over to try to get out of tummy time. He’s currently kicking my butt sleep training and knows he has his mama wrapped around his little fingers! I love this sweet little man more than anything. 💛👶🏼 #ahostinghome @thecathynugent

Coming to y’all from baby jail — and when you’re a mom to a baby, 💩 happens. (No literally.) I’m all about making my life easier, and the @_mollieollie_ Mimmo Caddy has been one of my favorite new baby items because it keeps everything I need in one place. No more running around the house or back and forth to the nursery to grab baby essentials (and interrupting valuable play time!) It’s super durable, keeps its shape even when empty, and it’s made of a soft chemical-free felt material that makes it safe to hold all your baby’s essentials. Not to mention, POCKETS for all the things. 😍 I think what I’m most excited for though is how it’s going to make car diaper changes on our road trips this summer SO much easier. (Who else hates public restrooms? 🙋🏼‍♀️)

Showing y’all an up close look (and what I keep in it!) in Stories today! Visit the link in my profile bio and use the code 10hosting for 10% off your own Mimmo Caddy! ✨👶🏼

John Robert slept in his own room in his crib last John Robert slept in his own room in his crib last night for the first time (other than for naps) and I bawled like a baby as I prayed over him and rocked him to sleep. (&& then we saw each other again 2 hours later because #4monthsleepregression 😅) I know everyone tells you they grow up fast, but I feel like the past 4.5 months have gone by in a blink of an eye. I found myself SO upset already thinking of things I wish I had gotten to do in his newborn stage and wondering if I’m soaking up enough of the tiny precious moments I get with him everyday. (But really is that even possible?) Before I know it this room will be a big boy room, and then before I know it again he’ll be grown and on his own. I can’t wait to watch him grow up and experience life with him but oh gosh, I want him to stay this little forever. Andddd Here I go again... 😭🤧 #ahostinghome
