Designer Favorites! Top Picks for a Luxe Home

Interested in designing a luxury space for your home but you're on a budget? Me too! 

You want your home to be a space you love to relax in but that also feels glamorous and special. 

Here I have added some top designer picks that will make your home stand out and then linked some lower budget options! 

1. These amazing Black Steel-Framed Shower Doors

You can buy a close match on Overstock.com for about $400!

Here is a slightly more expensive version from Home Depot:

Or, if your handy, you can DIY by following the steps on This Blog! 

2.  Show Stopper Lighting

There is just something about these gorgeous curly cue chandeliers that announce luxury, right? Whether you are looking for one for your bedroom or kitchen, you probably don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a light fixture. 

Here are some more affordable options:

This one from Lamps Plus is only $199.95 right now!

Here is a stunning fixture from Lamps Plus for $299.95!

You can get this at Joss & Main for approximately $400! This mixed materials look with the gems is definitely my favorite!

3. Luxurious Leather 

Leather looks great in everyone's home! It is an immediate upgrade to your space!

Whether you're incorporating chairs, couches, pillows, or a rug, here are some reasonable options: 

Overstock.com is a great place to get leather furniture for a discount! 

They have these cool chairs for just over $300 each!

This couch is adorable and looks super comfortable! 

Also check Chairish for second hand leather options from some awesome designers like West Elm and Restoration Hardware!

4. Details in the Decor

Update your home's decor with these low-cost yet impressive pieces!

This Black and White Paris Map from One Kings Lane for $249 would be a gorgeous addition to any home! Maps like these can be found at Restoration Hardware for 3 or 4 times this much!

Mirrors can be a sparkly addition and make a room look bigger. 

I absolutely love these faux-window wall mirrors from Wayfair:

Spending a few dollars on decorative items for your walls goes a long way!

5. Glam up your backyard

You can find these string lights at Costco for $34.99! And they now have and LED version too!

Adding lighting to a yard is such an easy and pretty way to add instant glam. 

You can also get a complete pergola at Costco as well!

What a fun idea and the perfect thing to drape those new lights across!

If you don't have a Costco membership, Target has a whole selection of string lights you can choose from. 

I love these new vintage bulbs dipped in mercury glass!

Whether you are adding designer touches inside or outside your home, there are tons of options to choose from and you don't have to overspend to get the look you are going for!

The Best Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup You've Ever Had

Now that fall and the rainy season are here, nothing tastes better for dinner than a hearty cup of soup! I have been hunting down the best soup recipes to try at least once a week. A few weeks ago, I made this delicious Zuppa Toscana recipe by Spend with Pennies. It is a copycat recipe of Olive Garden's version (but tastes way better!) and it was to die for! 

Last night, I made Split Pea Soup because I had some leftover ham from the weekend. And when I say ham I literally just mean sandwich meat. You can use any old ham you want for this recipe- whatever you have laying around. I used a mixture of ham and Costco bacon crumbles. It was perfect!

Split Pea Soup

1 lb Split Peas

1/3 Cup Onion

2 Tsp Minced Garlic

1 1/2 Cups Ham/Bacon

6 Cups Water

2 Bouillon Cubes 

Tsp Parsley

1 Bay Leaf

Salt & Pepper to Taste

Add all ingredients to the crock pot in the order listed above.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours

Serve with Dutch Crunch or French Bread

*Note: 2 Cups of water and Bouillon cubes may be substituted for 2 Cups of Chicken Broth

Enjoy!
