I just have to share with you one of my favorite books, "At Home: It Is Evocative and Art for Interiors" by Brian Pack. This book is truly gorgeous, and I can already envision it sitting beautifully on your table or bookshelves. The author's use of language is simply poetic, and the way he describes his vision for creating a beautiful home is just inspiring. Whether you're looking to upgrade your existing space or simply need some inspiration for your next decorating project, this book is a must-have.

What I Love About This Book

One of the things that really draws me to this book is its focus on evocative and artful interior design. The author's passion for creating beautiful spaces shines through on every page, and his use of language is both poetic and practical. Whether you're a seasoned designer or just starting out, this book offers valuable insights and inspiration for creating a home that truly reflects your personal style.

Creating a Beautiful Interior with "At Home"

One of the things I love about this book is its emphasis on creating a beautiful interior through the simple act of displaying books and objects. The author shows how these everyday items can be transformed into art by simply leaving them open or placing them in a decorative setting. This approach may seem simple, but trust me, it's incredibly effective. By incorporating more art and objects into your home decor, you can create a space that's truly unique and reflects your personality.

Affordable Options for Art and Decor

As someone who loves to shop and decorate their own home, I was thrilled to discover this book is very affordable. The author showcases a range of items, from beautiful artwork to decorative objects, all at an affordable price point. Whether you're on a tight budget or simply looking for ways to upgrade your existing space without breaking the bank, this book has got you covered.

Amazon Favorites and More

In addition to "At Home," I also wanted to share some other favorite books and items that I've discovered through my love of interior design. If you're interested in exploring more options, be sure to check out my Amazon storefront, which features a curated selection of my favorite books, candles, lighting, and more.

Art Makes a Big Impact

Finally, I wanted to talk about something that's really close to my heart: art! Art has the power to completely transform a space, adding warmth, personality, and character. And the best part? You don't have to break the bank to incorporate more art into your home decor. From affordable prints to unique decorative objects, there are countless ways to add art to your space without overspending. I've got an entire category dedicated to this topic on my website, featuring a range of options at various price points.

Upgrading Your Home with Art

One of the most exciting things about art is its ability to elevate your entire home. By incorporating more art and objects into your decor, you can create a space that's truly unique and reflects your personality. And the best part? You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to achieve this look. With the help of Amazon, I've found some amazing options for affordable art that will really upgrade your home without breaking the bank.

Tips for Decorating with Art

If you're interested in incorporating more art into your home decor, here are a few tips to get you started:

* Start small: Begin by adding one or two pieces of art to your space and see how it makes you feel.

* Mix it up: Don't be afraid to combine different styles, textures, and colors to create a unique look that's all your own.

* Experiment with frame styles: The way you display your art can make a big impact on its overall appearance. Try out different frames and styles to see what works best for you.

I hope these tips are helpful!

my friend Jack I have a whole bunch of stuff to show you and so I have brought Jack in to help me uh grab a bunch of stuff because I have found some incredible things on Amazon that will totally upgrade your home and we're gonna do it for less than a hundred dollars yeah that is amazing it is amazing you guys are not going to believe the stuff that we have found on Amazon most of the items are actually under fifty dollars so this is gonna be an amazing bun filled packed video with lots of ideas on how you can create an upgraded look in your home while still buying things off of Amazon so I hope you're gonna absolutely love it make sure you hit subscribe so that you don't lose us you know that's what happens it's free to subscribe so hit subscribe come back and join us and hang out some more because we like doing these videos we hope that you like them too yes all right cheers darling cheers let's jump in all right jack what are we gonna start with let's start with Jack has got a pile of things you're gonna stop it start with the closest yes okay so I have found these absolutely gorgeous vases on Amazon they're each under uh actually I think they're well under 100 I think this one's even under 50. they are absolutely amazing look at the texture on this vase look at the texture how beautiful is that absolutely stunning you can buy them as a set of two you could buy them individually what I love about a base like this is whether you're upgrading the living room the bedroom the dining room the bathroom there's really no room yeah right yeah and what's great about it can you show them can you go grab what I love about these is that not only are they beautiful just as sculptural pieces but Jack is very quickly brought in the greenery I will show you very quickly so show them the bottom okay so the bottom is bent like this they kind of come a little bit wonky they came long actually they did well no they actually oh they come in a ball can you help me bend them a little bit more then the more yeah keep going okay it worked out this morning this is hurting those stems cannot hang out yeah amateur mistake okay so Jack's always wanting the bottoms of the stems to come back up and around don't do that I may have done that recently all right here I'm gonna try to put it back here there you go so there you go very quickly you can have an absolutely gorgeous vase filled with some Greenery I know a lot of you have said you don't have places near you to get good Greenery what do you do maybe you have an area that just needs a little bit of some life into it grab some faux Greenery it'll really just help your vases just come alive this stuff is well under a hundred dollars this is just one set of this so if you're kind of thinking through how many you might need if you want a really big arrangement I would recommend getting maybe two or three of them if you're gonna do a really big one but otherwise besides the fact that it completely blocks our faces it is gorgeous it looks amazing and I think you guys will absolutely love it stay on the greenery because this is really close it's just bringing a tree I'm bringing a tree all right well I do love these these olive trees are such a great find you've actually picked a different one than what I thought you were gonna bring we have two I'm gonna link up both of them this one is like a really tall skinny one and it's nice for if you have nobody can see your face oh I know you're still on camera though you're not hidden he's like uh come out here that's perfect this is great if you've got a little corner where you need something kind of tall and skinny and then the other one is a little bit Fuller so I will link up both of them they are both under right at a hundred dollars but these will really dress up the corners of your home it'll add a little bit of life and whether you're going to do it in the whether you're gonna put it in the bedroom or the living room you can put it in a cinema room you can put them in a bathroom if you have a little corner anywhere it's a really easy upgrade and they really look I do like to put those in a basket or a planter as well don't just like just stick it in the corner and you can kind of fluff those as well yeah you do fun stuff with them I do this is a really fun one that you just got recently that is remote places to stay the most unique hotels at the end of the world yes so every time we get to this point of the year you know the New Year comes around we start thinking about where we're gonna go in the summer and start daydreaming about trips that we want to take so I actually ordered that for this reason because we've been daydreaming about where we want to go and this thing is absolutely packed with Incredible inspiration all corners of the globe it is unbelievable and it's really got us super inspired but the best part about it is that even if you even if we don't get to go on any of this never leave the house we're gonna have fun looking at a beautiful book A book can really upgrade your home because it adds a lot of texture it's got that linen cover on it it's got a great font it is a piece of Decor you can also open it up and just leave it sitting open to a beautiful page and keep you inspired just the way art does it's wonderful and again just like with those trees you can put these in the bedroom you can use them on your dresser on a nightstand on a coffee table on a bookshelf a great book that's beautiful and inspiring is always a great find this is a really great way to upgrade a home really fast and you've taught me how to use these over the years I have you use them everywhere I do this is a little Chagrin box actually it comes as a set of three you just grab one because you can put them as a set together or separate them and use them in different places around your house so you can really stretch your budget this is my stash this is your catch-all it's my papers it's the box cutter it's a uh it's like a coaster that we use yeah that's a really big coaster well I use it for like underneath a really big cup of coffee the vase might have water on it or something like that it's technically a pot what are those things the trivet trivet that's what it actually is but anyways besides the fact that we are actually using these and corralling your junk and this stuff is just sitting out everywhere it's not going to look very upgraded in our house so what we do is we hide our junk we still have it we just hide it this is like Spanx for your house why is that eyes are junk it comes in a set of three in multiple colors I will leave a link for you down below all right cracking himself up now we're in trouble that was really good did you check to see if this one was available or how much it cost because this was not on the list it was no it wasn't really nope I didn't put it on the list see not on the list that one that's not it oh that's not it that's the one sitting over there it's a completely different color foreign I could tell one obviously you know clearly they're the same color I can see why you would get confused I will leave a link for both of these you can probably hear the eucalyptus we've actually let it dry this one is cool too it's made of clay and if it is available it is a cool piece but I can't remember how much it was uh this one is amazing so we want the eucalyptus just kind of dry and I think that's a fun thing to do as well yeah it comes a little bit of an art piece uh but the vase itself is actually an Amazon find and I I know that you know the colors were confusing but actually it's got an amazing color let me show you up close look at the color on the behind it the color on this is absolutely gorgeous and it's just a very like muted pale grayish topish kind of color and yeah it's just absolutely gorgeous you could put this you could lift this in there knowing me now that I've seen that it has gotten it's starting to look a little bit gone so what I'm going to do is I'll probably take this out either add some fresh eucalyptus or one of the faux options why don't you show them the other we'll show them the other option that we have okay so the other option if you don't want to put Eucalyptus in there or you know you can see it does go and then it needs to be replaced you could also do another faux option here these are Olive branches that I also found on Amazon it comes with a little olives on them and they're really really cute these are amazing to add into any base that you might have in your house you can also do the same thing where you bend them but it is nice if you do have a faux option if you've got a vase that is solid because then you don't see the stems at the bottom and it makes them look more real and I just realized the whole time I was doing this sorry sorry I know my place here I'll try to keep them down here either way I think you guys will love these and they're really affordable and they really will add a lot of life and a lot of interest into your not only into your vase but into your space and can I add one little thing about that a little Insider tip that you maybe didn't give what you decorate with a lot of these so they may come in like sets of four or five but you buy a lot of those like you'll buy multiple for one vase yes don't just buy like one stem I think it comes five and well sometimes you can do that like it is small things in a small space but if you've got a bigger space that you're trying to fill you might want to do a bunch of them so yeah buy a few and decorate all over your house Amazon is a great place to shop for bedding and upgrading your bedding is really important first of all you know it's sanitary you need some sheets that you can change out but you know it's also a luxury to be able to climb into your bed and to have something that feels silky and soft against your skin it's really breathable that's what I'm looking for it's really important to get a night's sleep and I think that's that I think the sheets you sleep on make a big difference so I have a favorite set this is the one the sheet set that I have that has this beautiful little kind of like it's so pretty yes right a little stripe on it they come in different colors as well so just get whatever you like I do like white because it is very crisp and hotel like uh but I do think that you could get them in other colors as well but yeah they're really affordable it instantly just upgrades your bed and it's also good for you I think yeah so yeah it's a nice little splurge on yourself yes you're worth it you're worth it then we have the hotel style duvet uh which is just absolutely these are amazing yeah I'll be honest with you this is literally my favorite thing I love walking in a room that we we recently we were in Seattle yeah and at the Hilton and they had this type of bedding I love this yeah I think it's just really nice it's really crisp and it just never it never goes out of style it's always there and I think that if you have a combination of a nice duvet and you have a nice sheet set to go with it you're just gonna have sweet dreams and it's gonna make your bedroom feel really elevated as well so these do all these both of these come in different colors but we'll have everything linked down below and you can check it all out next up we have these boucle pillows I absolutely love these I've ordered so many of these just like the sheet sets actually I do I order those all the time for my clients uh these also are amazing they've got the little boucle on them and they're really really pretty they come in white and gray and in a couple different colors this is a great color you can use these on your bed add it to the bed with a great sheet set it's going to really give your bed an instant upgrade add them to a chair that's just sitting in a corner that maybe just looks a little bit lonely well you knew I was going to say that we're connected we're not they all guess the word too anyways you could also add them to your sofa it will really just help upgrade it the one thing I will say though is the insert inside is also really important I always use the down inserts because then you can sit on them which is like the dog just literally sits yeah and I can always tell who's been sitting there based off of How It's squished Louis sits on it like this Jack sits on it like this uh Elena just throws it off on the floor I sit against it very lightly you can't even tell you were there but either way no matter who has sat on it they are meant to be sat on and enjoyed and the down just you just give it a good fluff yeah okay chop it up and a good Robin there you go you've got a gorgeous pillow and it looks fantastic year after year after year now if you want to take it up to the next level think about adding another pillow because what's better than one pillow two pillows I think having a couple different options is really nice these are amazing every time I show these people are like where did you get those everyone thinks they're going to cost a Fortune they're off of Amazon I know thank you Amazon they have a beautiful linen they've got that down insert inside of them again and look at the fringing I love the fringing yeah and they come in other colors as well because I know you not everybody watching wants everything in white or black hey this is cream okay yeah I branched out we did color but I do think that they are wonderful we've had our set for over a year yeah we've had them for a while and they've just held up if you just take take them off throw them in the washing machine if they get dirty they really hold up to use which I think is really important yes and we use them a lot we do yeah and you can put them on the bed you could have three across you could have them on the sofa match them up with one of the boot Clay they're great they're really great one tip I will give you is the make sure when you buy the insert this pillow is a 20 by 20 and so the insert inside of it is 22 by 22. for whatever reason the insert just isn't quite big enough to really fill the pillow out if you go with the size that matches the pillow and so up size and that way it's nice and full like this one otherwise it's just it's not quite full enough so I like it like that yes now let's add the blanket in so you can have this gorgeous pillow uh grab the little boucle a little pillow you can have the linen pillow you can have the blue clay pillow and then add in a gorgeous throw I absolutely love these throws from Amazon these are like 23 yeah it's crazy it's ridiculous and you are the queen of throws and blankets I am you really are you have a collection and yet you love this one I love this one it's really nice because it is a little bit longer so I've actually used it over the end of our king size bed I've used it on the sofa I put it over a chair I love it because you can just do something that's a little bit more formal with this one and just have it kind of draping over the chair like this uh or you could just get kind of messy and undo it and just kind of lay it down you know artfully or you just crumble it up and throw it down and actually use it but it does have this really pretty Chevron in it and I love it it comes in a couple colors too so yeah that is a winner all right we cannot talk about Amazon without talking about oh Jack Spartan's favorite lamp and knocked himself out well we can't show you all the functions because it's actually not plugged in at the moment but the fun thing about this one is first of all it looks good if they can even see it we should have brought the gold one we have this in black and we have it in gold and uh when I looked I'd ordered just six of these alone ordered six times not just did I buy them in sets yes and that's not counting the gold ones either so we've ordered a lot of these and I really love them because they look good they swivel you can really adjust them the height is up and down and the button to turn it on is up here so you don't have to lean down yeah that is a good time changer yeah yeah and you can press and on and off and then dim it as well so we love these These are great and every person's home we put these into they talk about them they're like oh the house is amazing that lamp yeah it's like amazing yeah yeah so it's a really good find and it's under a hundred dollars for a floral lamp it's a great deal and it will really upgrade whatever space you decide to put it into oh we're getting into the candle section this is always Jack's favorite part it is my favorite part he loves the candles these are really cool I found some really cool ones these are made of marble and I really thought they were gonna cost a fortune and I almost didn't even look at them because I was like those have to be way more money they're like 20 bucks okay they're like a really good price and they actually hold the tea light in the top so you just pop your little tea light in there it's so cool look at the marble they're made of real marble they're heavy I can't believe it these will look great on the coffee table on your dresser on the you know kitchen table dining room sideboards there's so many great places that you'll be able to use these yeah I recommend getting a set of two of those personally will still be under 100 if you do that and you may want to add in one of these These are really pretty they're little ceramic just still like little they remind me of a donut I know please don't I know right it's got the ceramic with the glazing on it so pretty yeah off Amazon 14 bucks yeah or something like that and you know what I love them about them as a candle connoisseur these go every Direction look I could do a tea light and do the like the tall taper oh I don't know I haven't tried to taper it yeah like you could do a taper in there yeah there you go cool yeah it is cool so yeah and then we always buy the candles in bulk off of Amazon I was looking these have the little silver on them they had some with the clear and I was like oh those would be cute too but I do think a candle is an upgrade really adds a lot of Ambience and it's a really beautiful thing to just enjoy your space A lot of times we forget about how those little details make a really big difference the other thing I think makes a huge difference is the way that your room smells if you are a subscriber you're gonna be like eh she's gonna talk about the candlefish candles again here she goes it's because I can't shut up about them because they are amazing and they are hand poured in Charleston you guys this is a an American brand they make amazing candles these are available on Amazon and they are it smells so good this is number 53 this was a new one for us it's got Honeysuckle and uh gardenia yeah number eight number nine number one oh my gosh there's so many sounds like a stomach problem but all these numbers I got a number 53. oh God what is that I don't know let's go for the Runs huh I'm pretty sure you have them well now you know what that's why you need a candles yeah that sounds good no these really are amazing they smell so good and everyone that we've ever ordered has just been incredible we haven't had a single one that we didn't like and we've just we go to Charleston to get them we order them to have them delivered to the house like we just we love them all right we are winding Downey here and one of my favorite things is this book called at home it is evocative and art for Interiors by Brian pack packet packet I don't know how he says it but either way his book is gorgeous is this gonna look amazing just sitting out on your table it's gonna look great on your bookshelves just like the other book just simply leaving it open it becomes art and you can really create a beautiful interior with the book and

book that's beautiful and inspiring is always a great find this is a really great way to upgrade a home really fast and you've taught me how to use these over the years I have you use them everywhere I do this is a little Chagrin box actually it comes as a set of three you just grab one because you can put them as a set together or separate them and use them in different places around your house so you can really stretch your budget this is my stash this is your catch-all it's my papers it's the box cutter it's a uh it's like a coaster that we use yeah that's a really big coaster well I use it for like underneath a really big cup of coffee the vase might have water on it or something like that it's technically a pot what are those things the trivet trivet that's what it actually is but anyways besides the fact that we are actually using these and corralling your junk and this stuff is just sitting out everywhere it's not going to look very upgraded in our house so what we do is we hide our junk we still have it we just hide it this is like Spanx for your house why is that eyes are junk it comes in a set of three in multiple colors I will leave a link for you down below all right cracking himself up now we're in trouble that was really good did you check to see if this one was available or how much it cost because this was not on the list it was no it wasn't really nope I didn't put it on the list see not on the list that one that's not it oh that's not it that's the one sitting over there it's a completely different color foreign I could tell one obviously you know clearly they're the same color I can see why you would get confused I will leave a link for both of these you can probably hear the eucalyptus we've actually let it dry this one is cool too it's made of clay and if it is available it is a cool piece but I can't remember how much it was uh this one is amazing so we want the eucalyptus just kind of dry and I think that's a fun thing to do as well yeah it comes a little bit of an art piece uh but the vase itself is actually an Amazon find and I I know that you know the colors were confusing but actually it's got an amazing color let me show you up close look at the color on the behind it the color on this is absolutely gorgeous and it's just a very like muted pale grayish topish kind of color and yeah it's just absolutely gorgeous you could put this you could lift this in there knowing me now that I've seen that it has gotten it's starting to look a little bit gone so what I'm going to do is I'll probably take this out either add some fresh eucalyptus or one of the faux options why don't you show them the other we'll show them the other option that we have okay so the other option if you don't want to put Eucalyptus in there or you know you can see it does go and then it needs to be replaced you could also do another faux option here these are Olive branches that I also found on Amazon it comes with a little olives on them and they're really really cute these are amazing to add into any base that you might have in your house you can also do the same thing where you bend them but it is nice if you do have a faux option if you've got a vase that is solid because then you don't see the stems at the bottom and it makes them look more real and I just realized the whole time I was doing this sorry sorry I know my place here I'll try to keep them down here either way I think you guys will love these and they're really affordable and they really will add a lot of life and a lot of interest into your not only into your vase but into your space and can I add one little thing about that a little Insider tip that you maybe didn't give what you decorate with a lot of these so they may come in like sets of four or five but you buy a lot of those like you'll buy multiple for one vase yes don't just buy like one stem I think it comes five and well sometimes you can do that like it is small things in a small space but if you've got a bigger space that you're trying to fill you might want to do a bunch of them so yeah buy a few and decorate all over your house Amazon is a great place to shop for bedding and upgrading your bedding is really important first of all you know it's sanitary you need some sheets that you can change out but you know it's also a luxury to be able to climb into your bed and to have something that feels silky and soft against your skin it's really breathable that's what I'm looking for it's really important to get a night's sleep and I think that's that I think the sheets you sleep on make a big difference so I have a favorite set this is the one the sheet set that I have that has this beautiful little kind of like it's so pretty yes right a little stripe on it they come in different colors as well so just get whatever you like I do like white because it is very crisp and hotel like uh but I do think that you could get them in other colors as well but yeah they're really affordable it instantly just upgrades your bed and it's also good for you I think yeah so yeah it's a nice little splurge on yourself yes you're worth it you're worth it then we have the hotel style duvet uh which is just absolutely these are amazing yeah I'll be honest with you this is literally my favorite thing I love walking in a room that we we recently we were in Seattle yeah and at the Hilton and they had this type of bedding I love this yeah I think it's just really nice it's really crisp and it just never it never goes out of style it's always there and I think that if you have a combination of a nice duvet and you have a nice sheet set to go with it you're just gonna have sweet dreams and it's gonna make your bedroom feel really elevated as well so these do all these both of these come in different colors but we'll have everything linked down below and you can check it all out next up we have these boucle pillows I absolutely love these I've ordered so many of these just like the sheet sets actually I do I order those all the time for my clients uh these also are amazing they've got the little boucle on them and they're really really pretty they come in white and gray and in a couple different colors this is a great color you can use these on your bed add it to the bed with a great sheet set it's going to really give your bed an instant upgrade add them to a chair that's just sitting in a corner that maybe just looks a little bit lonely well you knew I was going to say that we're connected we're not they all guess the word too anyways you could also add them to your sofa it will really just help upgrade it the one thing I will say though is the insert inside is also really important I always use the down inserts because then you can sit on them which is like the dog just literally sits yeah and I can always tell who's been sitting there based off of How It's squished Louis sits on it like this Jack sits on it like this uh Elena just throws it off on the floor I sit against it very lightly you can't even tell you were there but either way no matter who has sat on it they are meant to be sat on and enjoyed and the down just you just give it a good fluff yeah okay chop it up and a good Robin there you go you've got a gorgeous pillow and it looks fantastic year after year after year now if you want to take it up to the next level think about adding another pillow because what's better than one pillow two pillows I think having a couple different options is really nice these are amazing every time I show these people are like where did you get those everyone thinks they're going to cost a Fortune they're off of Amazon I know thank you Amazon they have a beautiful linen they've got that down insert inside of them again and look at the fringing I love the fringing yeah and they come in other colors as well because I know you not everybody watching wants everything in white or black hey this is cream okay yeah I branched out we did color but I do think that they are wonderful we've had our set for over a year yeah we've had them for a while and they've just held up if you just take take them off throw them in the washing machine if they get dirty they really hold up to use which I think is really important yes and we use them a lot we do yeah and you can put them on the bed you could have three across you could have them on the sofa match them up with one of the boot Clay they're great they're really great one tip I will give you is the make sure when you buy the insert this pillow is a 20 by 20 and so the insert inside of it is 22 by 22. for whatever reason the insert just isn't quite big enough to really fill the pillow out if you go with the size that matches the pillow and so up size and that way it's nice and full like this one otherwise it's just it's not quite full enough so I like it like that yes now let's add the blanket in so you can have this gorgeous pillow uh grab the little boucle a little pillow you can have the linen pillow you can have the blue clay pillow and then add in a gorgeous throw I absolutely love these throws from Amazon these are like 23 yeah it's crazy it's ridiculous and you are the queen of throws and blankets I am you really are you have a collection and yet you love this one I love this one it's really nice because it is a little bit longer so I've actually used it over the end of our king size bed I've used it on the sofa I put it over a chair I love it because you can just do something that's a little bit more formal with this one and just have it kind of draping over the chair like this uh or you could just get kind of messy and undo it and just kind of lay it down you know artfully or you just crumble it up and throw it down and actually use it but it does have this really pretty Chevron in it and I love it it comes in a couple colors too so yeah that is a winner all right we cannot talk about Amazon without talking about oh Jack Spartan's favorite lamp and knocked himself out well we can't show you all the functions because it's actually not plugged in at the moment but the fun thing about this one is first of all it looks good if they can even see it we should have brought the gold one we have this in black and we have it in gold and uh when I looked I'd ordered just six of these alone ordered six times not just did I buy them in sets yes and that's not counting the gold ones either so we've ordered a lot of these and I really love them because they look good they swivel you can really adjust them the height is up and down and the button to turn it on is up here so you don't have to lean down yeah that is a good time changer yeah yeah and you can press and on and off and then dim it as well so we love these These are great and every person's home we put these into they talk about them they're like oh the house is amazing that lamp yeah it's like amazing yeah yeah so it's a really good find and it's under a hundred dollars for a floral lamp it's a great deal and it will really upgrade whatever space you decide to put it into oh we're getting into the candle section this is always Jack's favorite part it is my favorite part he loves the candles these are really cool I found some really cool ones these are made of marble and I really thought they were gonna cost a fortune and I almost didn't even look at them because I was like those have to be way more money they're like 20 bucks okay they're like a really good price and they actually hold the tea light in the top so you just pop your little tea light in there it's so cool look at the marble they're made of real marble they're heavy I can't believe it these will look great on the coffee table on your dresser on the you know kitchen table dining room sideboards there's so many great places that you'll be able to use these yeah I recommend getting a set of two of those personally will still be under 100 if you do that and you may want to add in one of these These are really pretty they're little ceramic just still like little they remind me of a donut I know please don't I know right it's got the ceramic with the glazing on it so pretty yeah off Amazon 14 bucks yeah or something like that and you know what I love them about them as a candle connoisseur these go every Direction look I could do a tea light and do the like the tall taper oh I don't know I haven't tried to taper it yeah like you could do a taper in there yeah there you go cool yeah it is cool so yeah and then we always buy the candles in bulk off of Amazon I was looking these have the little silver on them they had some with the clear and I was like oh those would be cute too but I do think a candle is an upgrade really adds a lot of Ambience and it's a really beautiful thing to just enjoy your space A lot of times we forget about how those little details make a really big difference the other thing I think makes a huge difference is the way that your room smells if you are a subscriber you're gonna be like eh she's gonna talk about the candlefish candles again here she goes it's because I can't shut up about them because they are amazing and they are hand poured in Charleston you guys this is a an American brand they make amazing candles these are available on Amazon and they are it smells so good this is number 53 this was a new one for us it's got Honeysuckle and uh gardenia yeah number eight number nine number one oh my gosh there's so many sounds like a stomach problem but all these numbers I got a number 53. oh God what is that I don't know let's go for the Runs huh I'm pretty sure you have them well now you know what that's why you need a candles yeah that sounds good no these really are amazing they smell so good and everyone that we've ever ordered has just been incredible we haven't had a single one that we didn't like and we've just we go to Charleston to get them we order them to have them delivered to the house like we just we love them all right we are winding Downey here and one of my favorite things is this book called at home it is evocative and art for Interiors by Brian pack packet packet I don't
