I want to talk about small upgrades with major impact — and how many of them I’ve sourced at Wayfair. I’m talking kitchen stools… I’m talking Polly’s nightstand… I’m talking the upstairs armoire! And of course we can’t forget about our CLJ x Loloi rugs. Wayfair is my go-to because they have so many moody modern traditional pieces — at incredible prices. My newest Wayfair purchase is this gorgeous gold step stool. It’s so *pretty* that it doubles as decor in our kitchen, and Chris and I use it to access the top cupboards in both the kitchen and the mudroom. It’s such a small upgrade, but it packs a bold punch. (Don’t you love it when form meets function?)

Step Stool

Today is Way Day, and I have several things in my cart. Best of all, everything’s on sale and ships for free! While I usually share my picks for top deals, I wanted to flex my curating muscle this time — to show you some ways I’d style some of my favorite Wayfair finds. Pick a small-upgrade-big-impact piece for your home, or — at these prices —treat yourself to the whole styling bundle! Happy shopping 🙂

If you’re looking to create a traditional, perfectly polished living room that will stand the test of time, these pieces are THE essence of classic elegance. You could create an entire room around the pattern of this chair and the tones in our CLJ x Loloi area rug, both at great prices for Way Day. Talk about getting versatile on a budget!! They play so well with solid-colored sofas that it makes styling a breeze. Oh and the details on the coffee table and floor lamp (how is that price for real?!) are just *chef’s kiss*.

Bedrooms are the perfect place to add dramatic pieces with darker accents and organic shapes. These stunning lamps keep selling out, so grab them quick! The key with pattern mixing is to change up the linework and scale: the larger grid on our CLJ x Loloi area rug (under $300!!) is a wonderful backdrop to the floral pillow and striped bed. We have these nightstands in Polly’s room, and Way Day is the time to grab your own—the sale price is just TOO GOOD!

I call this look “Modern Manor House Dining” because it has elements of a well-to-do antiquated space but with some surprises to keep it interesting. Take the pendant light for example—it has a touch of industrial gleam that balances out the more organic-shaped table settings. I can’t recommend gold flatware enough—it always gets compliments during dinner parties. And once you commit to upholstered chairs for your dining room, there’s no looking back. They’re just so comfortable!! Grab these chairs at practically a trade discount for under $250 each for Way Day!

If you’re in the market for a faux Christmas tree, trust me that Way Day is the time to buy! Some of my all-time favorites—flocked, with lights, or natural—are sold on Wayfair and are deeply discounted currently. They also have a great selection of evergreen garlands, I’m eyeing this one to go down my staircase and this one for the mantle. And we can’t forget the front door! Add a velvet bow to this wreath and you’ve got instant holiday cheer.
