Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Watch List, where I share the random things that captured my attention and stole my heart over the past week!

1 – Some of you may remember my blogging roots were in DIY so I always love a good before and after. I was absolutely blown away by this DIY laundry room makeover from Carolina de Mauro. It’s worth the click over just to see the before versus after, even if you have zero intentions of tackling a similar project. I think it just goes to show how virtually any room can be transformed rather dramatically!
2 – I’ve been sharing a lot more fall and holiday outfit ideas over on my Instagram Stories, and this one seems to be a hit lately so I thought I’d share it here! It would make for such a cute Thanksgiving outfit! Sources can be found below the graphic, but many of these are on sale with J. Crew’s current Friend & Family event. Get 30% off your purchase with code FRIENDS or 40% off your purchase with code FAMILY when you’re a Passport member (it’s free to join)! They also have a bunch of sweaters and outerwear marked 50+% off here.

3 – Walmart has a lot of cute fall decor right now, that actually works for most seasons! We already own about half of the items shown below and are very happy with the quality! I’m listing all sources below the images. They’re all perfect if you’re looking for some chic and affordable updates for your home before Thanksgiving or the holidays!
SOURCES: Slipcovered Swivel Chair | Scalloped Wood Bowl | Striped Chenille Throw Blanket | Faux Tree | Basket | Striped Rug | Pampas Grass Arrangement | Textured Ceramic Vase | Cane Weave Baskets | Charcuterie Board | Embroidered Pillow Cover | Ceramic Handled Jug | Floor Lamp with Pleated Shade
4 – Some of you that have read my site for awhile may remember when I’d use these indoor/outdoor birch trees in our courtyard and front porch from fall through winter. I sold them prior to our move to Florida, but I found myself really missing them last year so I just recently ordered them again! The quality has definitely improved over the years, but up super close, you can definitely see some of the tape lines. But in my mind, given the price tag for the scale, they’re worth every penny! This year I ordered the set of three but they sell them individually in multiple sizes. Although the lights are LED they’re definitely warmer and perfect for the holidays! But they’re also super cute for Halloween and even unlit in the winter months. Once I figure out their official home for the next few months, I’ll share a pic!
5 – Another fun and affordable update you can make to your home for fall is refreshing your “art” on your Frame TV if you have one. I swear I’ll never go back to another TV after getting our first one in 2017 after they were first released. They’ve only improved over time, and I love that you can update the art (and therefore your entire space) for only a few dollars! Here are some pretty finds for the coming weeks (sources are below the image). You can also search fall art more broadly here.

Loved everything! The lit trees would make a statement and are a really good price for the sizes, 8’, 6’ and 4’. The link for the tree in a basket took me to the white vase. It looks a lot like my faux Pottery Barn branches.
Sarah says
Yes – they are quite the statement! So beautiful! And thank you for letting me know on the tree. I just updated it!
