1. Kelly Clarkson Home Sylvan Table
Talk about French country charm! The Sylvan Table from the Kelly Clarkson Home line features delicate carved detailing and a lightly distressed finish that looks like it came straight from a Parisian flea market. It’s sturdy, elegant, and seats a crowd—perfect for everything from weekday dinners to holiday gatherings.
2. Primrue 72″ Artificial Olive Tree
This faux olive tree is everything. It adds a touch of organic beauty to any corner of a room, no green thumb required. I’ve used this tree in several spaces—it instantly softens a room and gives that elevated, designer look. Bonus: It never sheds.
3. Romeo 91″ Rolled Arm Sofa
Classic and comfy, the Romeo Sofa brings that cozy, lived-in feel with just the right amount of structure. It’s roomy enough for Sunday naps or movie marathons and looks great with both traditional and transitional styles. Think Restoration Hardware vibes—without the price tag.
4. Perdue Futon
(I have FOUR of these in my villas!)
I swear by this futon. It’s functional, sleek, and holds up beautifully in high-traffic rental spaces. The tufted velvet gives a luxe look, and the ability to fold it into a bed means guests are always comfy. Style and practicality in one perfect piece.
5. McGahan Flared Arm Sofa
This one is such a sweet spot—budget-friendly yet stylish and well-made. The flared arms give it a modern twist, and it’s a perfect fit for small spaces like a sitting room, studio apartment, or cottage guest nook. I love how versatile it is!
6. Amantha Tufted Armchair
If you’re looking for a chair that feels like a hug, this is it. The Amantha Armchair is tufted, timeless, and adds instant coziness to any room. I’ve styled it in reading corners, bedrooms, and even boutique shop lounges—it never disappoints.
7. Tobacco Solid Wood Basket
This solid wood basket is perfect for styling a gallery wall in your home. I love how it looks in my Cindy villa! The rustic finish works beautifully in a cottage, a farmhouse, or Southern-inspired homes. It’s the kind of stylish texture you’ll want to show off!
8. Hermsillo 19.5″ Tall Solid Wood Pedestal Table
This little pedestal table is one of my go-tos for layering and elevating vignettes. Place a plant, stack of books, or a vintage lamp on top—and voilà, instant character. Its classic silhouette makes it a versatile accent piece in any room.
9. 1.9″ Length Bee Novelty Knobs
(Featured in the kitchen of my Magnolia Network renovation of the Fuller White House!)
These adorable bee knobs are the sweetest little detail. I used them in the kitchen of the house I renovated on the Magnolia Network, and they stole the show! They’re whimsical, durable, and a fun way to personalize cabinetry.
10. Simply Southern Cottage Southern Heritage – Rectangle in Beige, Floral Traditional Area Rug
This rug is part of my very own collection with Orian Rugs, and I couldn’t love it more! It’s soft, durable, easy to clean, and stain-resistant—perfect for busy homes with kids, pets, or guests. The floral pattern adds a classic cottage charm without overwhelming the space.
