Ready to impress your guests? Let me pull it together. 🍂

A sweet friend had a huge room filled with beautiful things. I stepped back, looked at how the spaces could work, and used her own treasures to define them. A welcoming reading nook. A beautifully styled buffet. A room that finally felt pulled together.

Sometimes you already have what you need—you just need a fresh pair of eyes.

From fall gatherings to Thanksgiving company, let’s make your home feel warm, welcoming, and ready to enjoy.

✨ Room refreshes as low as $250.
Your space. Your pace.

✨ TOP FIVE CHRISTMAS DECORATING TRENDS FOR 2026 ✨

This year, Christmas is leaning into warmth, nostalgia, and personality. And you know I’m here for a collected home.😉

Here are five trends I’m loving—and how to make them your own:

🎄 1. Nostalgic, collected Christmas
Vintage ornaments, familiar Santas, colorful lights, and treasures with a story. Bring out the decorations that make you smile. Those little handmade ornaments have a place, too. (wilko.com⁠)

🎄 2. Tartan and heritage charm
Plaid ribbons, cozy throws, and traditional patterns bring that Ralph Lauren feeling home. My approach? Layer a little tartan into what you already love. One beautiful pillow or ribbon can set the tone. (primark.com⁠)

🎄 3. Rich, beautiful color
Burgundy, deep green, plum, and warm gold are giving Christmas a richer palette. Pick colors that feel at home with your furnishings, then repeat them thoughtfully. (christmasworld.com.au⁠)

🎄 4. Bows with personality
Velvet, satin, and plaid bows are making a statement on trees, wreaths, and doors. A generous bow with flowing tails can make a simple wreath feel special. Scale matters—give it room to shine. (homesandgardens.com⁠)

🎄 5. Nature-inspired layers
Greenery, pinecones, and wood bring texture and warmth to the season. Try arranging them in a favorite bowl or basket you already own. (christmasworld.com.au⁠)

Before you buy anything, open your Christmas boxes. Look around your home. You may already have the beginnings of something beautiful.

Let Christmas belong to your house.
Your colors. Your memories. Your story.

Which of these feels most like you? ✨

Bows are BIG this year—and so is plaid! Refresh the greenery you already have with a new bow, carry that ribbon onto your mantel or staircase, and add smaller bows to your table.

Need greenery too? We’ve got that covered with coordinating Amazon finds to help you pull it all together, one space at a time.

Use what you have. Get what you want.
Add a new bow—and maybe a fresh rug to boot! 😉🎅

I love the holidays. I’m just ready to stop hauling 20 totes into the house to prove it. 😂

Unpack. Decorate. Pack it back up. Repeat for the next season.

Surely we can have a beautiful holiday AND enough energy left to enjoy it.

That’s what Autumn Antics—the Sexton Way—is about: versatility.

A creamy bowl that holds pears in October can hold ornaments in December. Brass candlesticks work for a holiday dinner and an ordinary Tuesday. A favorite pitcher can welcome autumn stems, winter greenery, and spring flowers.

Get the foundation right, and a few hints of the holiday can be every bit as beautiful.

You’re missing out on absolutely nothing. You’re making room to enjoy it.

This morning, you peeked inside my collected office. Tonight, you’ll meet my two-dollar pillow find. And for your Friday afternoon shopping pleasure, these are the kinds of pieces I look for: beautiful, useful, and happy to stay awhile.

Keep your favorites. Build on what you love. Let a few seasonal details do the celebrating.

That’s where I can help—getting the foundation right so every season doesn’t feel like starting over.

Say goodbye to the overworked-and-underpaid holiday decorating committee.

Yes, ma’am. That committee is us. 😂💛

Are you still a bring-out-every-tote decorator, or are you ready for a few beautiful hints? Both are welcome here—but I know which way I’m headed.

ONE DOLLAR EACH. 🍐
Apparently, you can still buy a little art you can lean against.

These vintage pillows came from my favorite thrift store—and they fit right into my cozy coastal cottage in the middle of the city.

Welcome to a sneak peek of the office! We’re still working in here, one treasure at a time.

Remember the Habitat chairs? That big box with the SOLD sign that became the white cabinet? Now look at the lighthouses, the thrifted buoy lamp, the baskets, brass, and little touches of blue.

About 95% of what you see is thrifted.

It’s quirky. It’s cool. It’s vintage. It’s new.
It’s what I love.

And guess what… it goes. 💛

People tell me, “I can’t put coastal in my house.”

Look again. You don’t need an ocean outside your window to enjoy a little coastal inside.

Every room in my home is different, but they speak the same language. Repeated colors, warm woods, woven textures. I love muted colors—color with the volume turned down. For me, that feels cozy and calming.

Try this: pull a color from a favorite pillow or painting and repeat it somewhere else in the room. That little connection helps your treasures belong together.

You don’t have to buy everything together for it to belong together.

And if you love it but can’t figure out how to make it go? I can help. Seeing those connections and creating balance has been my specialty since I was a little girl.

I have literally been on first dates and asked the gentleman if I could rearrange his furniture before I left. 😂

Apparently, I was checking out the furniture arrangement along with the potential relationship.

There are stories, y’all.

Would you like a little decorating-and-dating story time? Because I have material. 🤣

✨ LET CHRISTMAS BELONG TO YOUR HOUSE 🎄

What if decorating for Christmas didn’t mean starting all over?

Keep the foundation you already love. Add a little, take away a little, and let your home transition naturally from fall to Christmas.

The greenery stays. The candles stay. The pinecones stay.

Put away the pumpkins and harvest fruits. Add some berries, ribbon, ornaments and a little Christmas sparkle.

Same house. Same beautiful foundation. A new season.

Fewer decorating tubs. Less spending. Less work.

More seasonal serenity. More time to enjoy what really matters. ❤️

You don’t need every aisle at Hobby Lobby to make Christmas beautiful. 😳

Use what you have. Get what you want.

That’s the Sexton Way.

Thursday’s Treasure Hunt 🚲 Finding it is only half the fun.

My home is a collected home. Walk around a little, and you’ll get to know me—what I love, what makes me smile, and the treasures I keep finding room for.

Today’s spotlight came from Missy’s Treasures in Powell, where I also have a space. When this metal bicycle arrived, I wanted it. But I’m thrifty. So I waited.

When the vendor was leaving and it went half off… guess what? It became mine. Patience is truly a virtue. 😉

Now it sits beside a plant in my sunny reading corner. You’ll spot other metal bicycles around the room, too. Repeating a favorite detail can connect a space without making everything match.

If you love it, it goes… somewhere.

What favorite treasure keeps showing up in your home?
