One Room Challenge, Week 3 – A Style Story

One of my favorite things to do, besides change my rooms around monthly, is restyle my shelves. It’s like a twofer at happy hour. You clean, and get to refresh your space. If you’ve missed week 1 or week 2, you can head over there to catch up. This week is dedicated to the styling of the shelves. I knew that I wanted more storage in my dining room. I’m constantly changing out what I’m using in my kitchen or in other areas of the house. These will help house those items while not being in use.

The first cabinet I purchased was this cabinet from Walmart from the Drew Barrymore line. Now let me tell you — this cabinet is BEAUTIFUL. No pun intended (that’s the name of her line). I was so impressed with not only the price, but the quality. This this is solid. The doors slide like a dream. I would buy this over and over. I like to have extra plates and bowls on hand as well as serving platters. I use them all of the time. Plants, pictures and art is the way to go for the rest of the fillers. And cake stands! You can never have enough. Although, I’ve never used them for cake. Not once.


The other cabinet is a different story. This one is also from Walmart, but a different line. First, I had to pay $100 to ship the thing. Second, it arrived damaged. Third, Walmart wanted to make this incredibly hard to send back and get a new one. It was going to take about a month. No discounts for the inconvenience. I wasn’t sure if I was dealing with a bot or a person. They said it was a human. If I had a dime for the amount of times they said my name, I would be rich. “Megan, I know you’re upset, Megan and I understand, Megan.” I felt like a child being reprimanded.

It’s pretty though, I’ll give it that. I did take the broken pieces to my stepdad and he fixed it. But I still wouldn’t recommend it. In this cabinet, I like to keep games that we can play. Dominos are an example. You’ll see these pretty ones in a bowl on the shelf.


The last cabinet we have is the built in that we use to house alcohol. Although I’m 611 days sober (yay!), my husband still enjoys his Old Fashioned drinks every now and again. But I still love this cabinet so much. I need to repaint the inside of it blue. It will match the rest of the room. This task is on the agenda. What do you think so far? How do you like to style your shelves?

A couple of weeks ago. I asked what I should do instead of wood for the fireplace—and one of you dropped an idea that I immediately ran with. Any guesses what it was? (If you caught my stories, you got a sneak peek!)Swipe to get the full feel for the room. 📷 @jordanlexuscostello #sundayhousecall #freemandigs

Let's talk about summer bedding. Specifically:✨lightweight✨breathable✨not a sweaty tangle of sheets and regretsThis is the Handstitched Cloud Comforter Set from @bollandbranch, and it's exactly what it sounds like - soft, airy, and a total dream to sleep under. No need to wrestle with a duvet cover (you know the fight), because this one is the final layer. Just toss it on and crawl in.I swapped it in as soon as the weather turned and honestly? Haven't looked back. It's that good.Now through 6/26, you can get 15% off with no minimum (!!!) Use code FREEMANHOME — Some exclusions apply - peep their site for the fine print.#LessHouseMoreHome #BollandBranchPartner #CozyWithoutTheSweat #SummerBedding Win

Sunday House CallThis couch has been through it with me — from the store days to my own living room. It’s held up like a champ (seriously, it still looks brand new), and I’ve loved it for a long time. But… I think I’m over it. So I’m calling in backup — you! Agree with me? Or talk me out of it? I want to know what you think. You can scroll through the full life saga here —> #lifeofagreencouch #freemandigs #sundayhousecall

This living room has been through a lot: furniture swaps, rug trials, and more paint swatches than I care to admit. But somehow, it always finds its way back to feeling like home. It’s the spot where we pile on the couch for movie nights, where coffee tastes better in the morning light, and where a lot of my ideas are born (and occasionally forgotten mid-thought).I’m a firm believer that your space should grow with you—not just be a snapshot of one perfect moment. And this room? She’s growing right along with me.What’s the one thing that makes your living room feel like home?#freemandigs #moodylivingroom

This week’s Tuesday Tips (that nobody asked for) is coming to you in a very different form. Totally outside my usual home interior niche, but perfectly on theme for Mental Health Awareness Month.I made this video during a really long car ride—partly so I wouldn’t fall asleep, partly because my daughter was upset about something and I wanted to cheer her up. The things we do for our kids, right?A good friend (you know who you are) swears the world needs to see this.I told her the world would think I’m a moron.So here we are.If it makes you laugh, then great—mission accomplished.And if you do think I’m a moron… maybe just keep that little gem to yourself.#TuesdayTips #NotLikeUs #NeverEnough
