Goodbye, bed! I will miss you while I’m gone 😭. Currently trying to ignore my usual travel anxiety. Anyone else feel super anxious before traveling, especially alone?! The good news is, while we’re in Paris, all remaining poufs from the last collection are 15% off! Shop link in profile.

So glad it’s Friday! Last night I relived junior high by attending back to school night for parents. After getting lost 3x, late to two classes and awkwardly saying hi to people I thought I knew but didn’t, I was proud that my tween had a great first week versus my one hour on campus😂 Cheers to the weekend and the fact that we aren’t in junior high anymore, whew!😆🎉 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #theeverygirl #mynordicroom #scandiboho #jungalowstyle #bohointeriors #urbanjunglebloggers #sodomino #interior_and_living #instahomedecor #realhomes #interior4inspo #interiorideas #houseinterior #deskdecor #howwedwell #beautifullyboho #currentdesignsituation #myhousebeautiful #bhgcelebrate #mystylishspace #dailydecordetail #whiteinteriors #hometour #homewithrue #interiormilk #myhyggehome #inspohome #stellarspaces #myhometrend https://liketk.it/2xasU #liketkit @liketoknow.it

6. Brighten Up a Workspace: Plants inspire growth and movement, making them a wonderful addition to a desk. Pepper them in with some photographs to help break up the drab stacks of paper and books.

7. Liven Up the Living Room: Accent your shelving and book collections with a tiny plant on top of a stack. A little height and edge will help to keep it from looking too much like a library or waiting room.
