A modern bedroom features a wooden bed frame and light gray bedding, echoing top bedding recommendations.

Bedding Recommendations

We LOVE Quince! We both have their sheets in our homes, and we love their bamboo and linen options.

We also recommend the Casaluna line at Target, which looks much more expensive than it is. Melissa has this duvet cover in her guest bedroom and Christina has this throw blanket in her primary bedroom.

Black Arch Cabinets

Our most popular request: black arched cabinets! Shop our favorites on LTK.

Couches & Sofas

This sofa from Ashley looks luxe for the price. The Radley is popular, known for durability, and frequently on sale. The C&B Gather sofa has clean lines and is known for its comfort!

A bright home office exudes designer looks for less with a wooden desk, laptop, and potted orchid.

Designer looks for less

We must get asked no less than 5 times each week if we have an affordable alternative to the below pieces of furniture!

Paint Colors

For neutral paint colors for interior walls we love Sherwin Williams Snowbound and Alabaster (Christina used these on her walls and kitchen cabinets), Sherwin Williams Drift of Mist (Melissa’s interior wall color) as well as Benjamin Moore White Dove and Chantilly Lace.

Our favorite darker colors are SW Urbane Bronze, Tricorn Black, and Iron Ore. These have such a rich hue, and are perfect colors to add dimension to a room whether they are used for an accent wall, kitchen island, or for doors.
