this week we’ve been exploring the comforts of home. on monday i gave you a tour of the style at a certain age YouTube studio. wednesday, we had fun with backyard games. today, i wanted to gather up a few of my favorite house tours i’ve shared with you this year. home decor is one of my passions and it’s my pleasure to give you a glimpse into my home. welcome to my day in the life series round up!
today we’re making a pitstop to my home gym. this is where you’ll find me on any given morning stretching, flexing, pumping iron and hopping on the bike for a spin class. i’m committed to continuing my health journey for the new year.
today, i’m going to give you a tour of my home office. as a lifestyle and fashion blogger, it’s where i spend most of the time when i’m not on a photo or video shoot. part of our new beginnings theme for the month, i’m hoping today’s post will inspire you all to have a stylish home office—and a stylish home more generally.
while this outfit is from earlier in the year, you can easily update the look for summer with a sleeveless turtleneck like this one.
today we’re continuing our a day in the life series with a tour of my recently refinished basement. it’s been a longstanding project over the past year. and it all began when the basement was flooded last summer. what a mess: our carpet was ruined! but out of lemons we made, well, you’ll see in just a moment. but i gotta say, i like the finished product better than lemonade.
if you’ve been following along on instagram over the last few weeks, you have seen glimpses of my backyard. well, today as part of my day in the life series, we are taking a look at my backyard with our latest project. this is how to design your backyard.
this dress is sold out but for a more casual look, you could go with a long t shirt dress from J. Crew, like this one. or a shorter version from Everlane like this one.
i hope you enjoyed revisiting my day in the life series. because i am always doing small redecorating projects, there will always something for me to share with you. stay tuned to the blog to see how i give my home a refresh throughout the year.
for more of my home tours, check out past posts from my day in the life series:

Hi Beth your hair always looks super but I lovvvvve your hair short. ❤️
I would love to see you revisit all of the ladies that you showcased a while ago when you decided to go gray. I did not follow them and yet I found them very interesting with different interests than mine at the time. Being confided to the house with this virus, it is nice to look at a variety of ideas.
Obviously, we don’t need many new clothes as we are going no where! The cooking Saturday with Kelly is nice as we are doing more cooking than ever and I hope she adds more to that. I also enjoy seeing nice table settings and ways to make our time at home more eye appealing. You have done a great job of showcasing your home and the changes you have made to work out area, kitchen, home office, so maybe focus more on “home entertaining” for self. For instance, my sister is alone and I think she would love ideas of how to make her “dining” time or wine time more exciting. How about some ideas for gatherings with friends with social distancing? This seems to be the new normal–ideas, please?
Hi Beth,
I truly enjoy your blog and how you look at many facets of life.
Have been thinking of freshening our living room. Have always preferred neutral walls for art and color in upholstered pieces. A few pieces have been reupholstered, but now I’m thinking about a more neutral palette in the living room. Any thoughts?

I love you basement. It is just so comfortable and friendly looking. You have a beautiful home and yard too. I love it when you give us a tour.
You look so nice in dresses but they just dont look good on my body because of I’m a different size on top than bottom. Sometimes a two piece will look okay but then that destroys the whole idea of an easy dress like this tee shirt that you just pull on and go.
