Not trying to jump the gun here or anything, but we’ve had two days of sunshine in SoCal this week, and I’m thinking summer just might have finally arrived. And well, we are ready for it. We recently did a little backyard refresh with new outdoor furniture from Walmart (these swivel gliders are SO nice), and we obviously couldn’t forget about the furry family members.

My dogs are obsessed with this indoor/outdoor bed, and I love that the cover is easily machine-washable. We swear by these leashes, and I’ll definitely be grabbing some of these calming treats to get ready for July 4th fireworks. From the best selection of dog beds to adorable accessories and toys they’ll love, Walmart has everything you need to keep those tails wagging all summer long.

It’s been a while since I did a little bedroom restyle, and recently I had the itch.  (Nothing like a change in seasons to inspire some new bedding, #AmIRight?)  So I hit the interwebs and headed straight to Walmart.com, and I LOVE the new cozy, neutral vibes in here.  But before we even get to the bedding, I gotta start with step one and share these new nightstands with you guys.

You may remember that our old bedside tables were a little…bright.  Yep, they were teal, but they were never supposed to be.  They were supposed to be a light blueish grey, but when they arrived (about 5 years ago), our house was still under construction.  So they went into storage for a bit still boxed up, and by the time I discovered the mix-up, it was too late.  So we lived with them (for a few years, LOL) but always knew we’d swap them out at some point, and recently we finally did.  When I found these nightstands on Walmart.com, I ordered them that day.  The size is perfect for our space; shipping was super quick; they’re under $200 each; and the quality is so good.  (Much better quality than the teal ones that cost way more.  Score.)

With the teal tables out of the way, I figured we could now do any color scheme in here, so I went with neutral taupe, LOL.  Honestly, I was looking forward to getting all or most of the color out of this room.  We are not duvet people, never have been.  I run hot and Eric is always cold at night, so we do two layers of quilts and it’s just what works for us.  (This coverlet is perfect solo in the summertime and then as a base layer in the winter.)  When I got in this new taupe quilt set, I knew it was perfect for us.  It’s a thicker fabric that doesn’t get all wrinkled and disheveled (two things that drive me NUTS), and it’s really comfy for sleeping.

I then ordered some fun, textured throw pillows, a couple of cozy throw blankets, and some new fashion coffee table books for styling my nightstand.  Oh, and the coziest little shag dog bed that these spoiled pups love.  I love how it turned out – take a scroll below for a closer look at some of the pieces I grabbed from Walmart.com.

I’ve been posting lots lately about my love of all things fall, and while it’s really still too early to pull out the sweaters and boots and fall fashion things I want to wear, it’s never too early (in my book) to get the house autumn-ready.  Our dining room has always been my favorite room of the house to decorate for any season or holiday, and this year, I wanted to switch things up for fall, starting with our dishes.

We host friends and family for dinner a lot this time of year, so I knew I wanted dishes that would be pretty but also very functional.  When I saw this matte black set from Gap for Walmart, I loved the idea to incorporate some of the black from the rug, and once I received the dishes, I loved them even more.  They are sturdy, on the heavier side, and look so much more expensive in person than they actually are.  They’re also microwave and dishwasher safe, and having used them a few times and run them through the dishwasher, I can say they come out streak-free and just like new.  (I also think they will be so pretty during Christmastime.)

For everything else for our fall tablescape, I hit the Wow & Now section on Walmart.com.  Have you guys checked this section out?  It’s filled with fun, on-trend items to get your home ready for the season.  From the Wow & Now section, I snagged the table runner (not always easy to find them over 100 inches long), the faux flowers (that are arranged in the handle-free mugs included with the dishes), the leaf garland on our sideboard, and the matte gold flatware.  You guys, this flatware.  It comes in gold, rose gold, or black with options of matte or mirrored finish for each, and honestly, they all look so pretty.  I’ve wanted gold flatware for a while, so I couldn’t pass these up, and just like the dishes, they came out of the dishwasher looking just like new.

Switching things up this season has been so much fun, and I LOVE the way it turned out.  If you’re looking for a few new touches to get your home ready for fall, head over to this Wow & Now page or scroll below for some of my favorite finds of the season.
