There’s something undeniably inviting about a well-curated coffee table. It’s more than just a surface—it’s a centerpiece that reflects your personality, interests, and style. And no coffee table is complete without the perfect stack of books. These aren’t just books—they’re conversation starters, pieces of art, and reflections of what inspires you.

Welcome to 2025, the year I’m fully embracing home life and hosting. Inspired by Ina Garten’s iconic approach to life and cooking, binge-watching Nancy Meyers movies, and baking like Martha Stewart, I’ve decided to make hosting a central part of my life. To kick things off, I hosted a cozy New Year’s Eve gathering at our new home—a pajama party with surf and turf on the menu and a playful nod to the "surf" theme with seashell-shaped cookies.

As I continue to fine-tune our space and make it truly feel like home, I’ve been adding thoughtful touches to elevate the style and function of our everyday living. Whether it's enhancing curb appeal, upgrading fixtures, or finding functional yet beautiful accessories, these recent finds have made all the difference in our home.
