Hey friend!

Facebook Marketplace can feel like the Wild West of home decorating—one minute you're spotting the perfect vintage mirror, and the next, you're knee-deep in listings for broken recliners and blurry photos of who-knows-what.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or like you're wasting time scrolling through clutter, this episode is for you.

Today I'm continuing with my Shop Small Summer Series and believe it or not, FB Marketplace is just that...with many sellers just cleaning out their closets, the rest are running small businesses. So today, I’m sharing 7 smart, practical strategies that will help you shop Facebook Marketplace with confidence and success—so you can score stylish, high-quality pieces without blowing your budget (or your patience).

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

Use SEO and keywords to make Marketplace work for you, not against you

Cross-reference items with Google Lens to determine value and style

Negotiate with kindness (yes, it actually works!)

Set filters that save time and keep junk out of your feed

Know your aesthetic anchors so you don’t waste money on the wrong vibe

Avoid setting arbitrary price limits that block you from the good stuff

Shop with purpose and patience—without the overwhelm

Whether you're hunting for a statement piece or hoping to furnish a room on a tight budget, these tips will help you shop like a pro and decorate with intention.

Let’s take the guesswork out of the process:

Book a Decorating SOS Call for personalized support

Join The Collective for monthly lessons, coaching, and budget-friendly design tools that meet you right where you are

You don’t need to spend a fortune to love your home—you just need a strategy (and a little bit of patience). Hit play and let’s start treasure hunting!

Happy styling!

Hey friend!

Let’s be honest—Amazon is fast. Target has everything. And when you’re juggling work, errands, dinner, and kids running in and out of the house all day, convenience feels like the biggest win.

But what if that convenience is quietly costing you more than just a few extra dollars?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 eye-opening reasons why shopping small is actually worth it—even for the busiest moms. We’re diving into the less obvious trade-offs of big box shopping and the surprising wins that come from supporting small businesses, whether they’re online boutiques, your favorite local shop downtown, or that one talented maker on Etsy.

You’ll learn how shopping small can:

Save you time, stress, and design regret in the long run

Bring more soul, uniqueness, and personality into your home

Help you feel more connected to your space and your community

Support real people (not just algorithms)

Build relationships (without the use of chat bots)

This isn’t about guilt or giving up every two-day delivery—it’s about reframing the way we decorate so our homes tell the stories we want to tell.

If you’re ready to make small shifts that lead to a home that feels more like you—without breaking the bank—this episode is your invitation.

Let’s work together to make your home feel intentional, beautiful, and uniquely yours—without the overwhelm.

You don’t need more stuff. You need more intention. And maybe just a little nudge in the right direction. Let’s get started.

Happy styling!

Hi friend! 

In today's episode I'm walking you through 5 simple steps for recognizing problem areas in your home that spill over into messiness and make you feel disorganized. 

1. Identify your high traffic zones. Those are usually the culprits for the cogs in the wheel - the messy or unorganized places. 

2. Disect the problem in that area. What's currently happening that isn't working. 

3. Identify HOW you want that space to function for you. How can it work harder for you and not you for it. 

4. Start making a plan for remediation - really thinking about what it is you need (or already have) in order to solve this problem. 

5. Execute! 

Bonus tips are included for when motivation at this stage is now the cog in your execution wheel. 

Do you want help making your space feel more functional AND beautiful? Book a Decorating SOS Call. 

Happy organizing!

Decluttering episode mentioned in show: Ep. 338

Hey friend,

I’ll walk you through:

Here’s how to bring farmcore into your space:

Wall Treatments – Think shiplap (yes, it’s still in!), beadboard, and board and batten to add depth and visual interest.

Layered Textures – Cozy it up with wallpaper, window treatments, throw pillows, blankets, and area rugs.

Traditional Silhouettes – Choose quality furniture with classic lines like wingback chairs and rolled arms.

Antique Pieces – Mix in vintage or antique furnishings for a curated, lived-in look.

Rustic Elements – Raw woods, stoneware, and iron accents help ground the space.

Natural Materials – Lean into wood, linen, cotton, and clay for an organic feel.

Pattern Mixing – Don’t be afraid to pair florals with plaids or stripes—step outside the design box!

Moody Earth Tones – Create a rich foundation with colors inspired by nature—think deep greens, browns, and terracotta.

Farmcore brings nostalgia and warmth with a modern, curated twist. You don’t have to live in the country to love this style—and you definitely don’t need a big budget.

xo,

dani
