The 5 Go-To/No-Fail Living Room Layout Configuration Options

Have you ever had a tough time trying to figure out the right seating layout for your living room? ME TOO. Remember this post? You just want it to make sense AND look good. Now, every living room is basically its own little snowflake, unique and likely stocked with architectural features that make you question if anyone involved in the home building process thinks about furniture placement. Not trying to throw shade buuuuttttt… So today we have our 5 go-to seating furniture configurations to hopefully be the Advil for your layout headache. Now since living rooms aren’t all shaped the same, you may need to slightly modify these to make them work best for your space. But don’t worry because we are going to talk through them all.

As I was compiling these layouts based on rooms we have actually designed, this one was one of the most popular. It offers lots of seating options, is perfect for a living room with one main focal point (yes, like a fireplace or where you want to put your tv), and really fills out a room but not in a super crowded way (unless you have a small living room).

Meghan Markle Hints That She Might Return to Instagram

  • Meghan Markle hinted that she might be making the return to Instagram soon. 
  • Markle hasn’t been on the photo-sharing platform since 2018.
  • In a 2020 interview she said she would never go back on social media because of bullying she faced.

Meghan Markle hinted at a return to Instagram nearly five years after shutting down her account with 3 million followers upon entering royal life. 

“Do you want to know a secret?” Markle asked The Cut in an interview. “I’m getting back … on Instagram.”

While the news has yet to be confirmed, it would be a big step for the Duchess of Sussex.

Before meeting Prince Harry, Markle ran a blog and coinciding Instagram account called The Tig, where she posted about her life, including shots of her dog, food, and yoga.

The Cut reported that her Instagram account reached 3 million followers before she shut it down in January 2018.

“It was a big adjustment — a huge adjustment to go from that kind of autonomy to a different life,” Markle told The Cut about giving up her Instagram account after getting engaged to Prince Harry.

Markle’s next Instagram account was @KensingtonRoyal, a public

Writing Memoir Allowed Her to ‘Miss’ Her Mom

Writing Memoir Allowed Her to ‘Miss’ Her Mom

  • Jennette McCurdy appeared on Anna Faris’ podcast Wednesday. 
  • McCurdy said publishing her memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” helped her find closure. 
  • McCurdy alleged that her mother was abusive before her death in 2013. 

Jennette McCurdy finally has closure after alleging her mother abused her for years in her new memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died.” 

On Wednesday, McCurdy reflected on the memoir and the aftermath while talking with host Anna Faris on her podcast “Anna Faris is Unqualified.” McCurdy, 30, said writing the memoir helped her come to terms with her relationship with her mom. Debra McCurdy died in 2013 after a battle with breast cancer. 

“I think closure is a hard thing to come by, if it is even possible to come by,” McCurdy told Faris. “But I think that’s something the book helped me with. I think there was some attempt to find closure – to find shape. Now, I’m able to have this experience with my mom where I can just miss her.”

“To just have ‘oh, I miss her,’ and it can just be that,” McCurdy continued. “Instead of, ‘I miss her, I want to throw something, I’m angry, I’m hurt,

Happy Sunday, everyone! This was a pretty good week if we do say so ourselves. The Hendersons moved into the farmhouse (AHHH!!!), the team got together for lunch and finally got to celebrate Ryann’s marriage in person, AND it was the last work week of August since Emily is the best boss and is giving us all off next week! Needless to say, no Sunday scaries over here. While we know not everyone gets off next week, we hope it’s still full of fun hangs, activities, and food. Links, anyone?

This week’s house tour is a feast for the eyes! Especially those who love a farmhouse look with modern accents and hits of whimsical decor. Fun fact, this home/property is an actual former Australian dairy farm from the 1860s. The extra fun part about this project is that it’s a vacation home. This meant that the owners were much more willing to play with color and decor which was a relief to the design firm, We Are Duet🙂 Check out the whole space here.

An Ohio man was arrested after a family’s Ring doorbell camera captured him dragging their 6-year-old daughter down the sidewalk outside their home. 

The surveillance video showed Ken’Adi Nash, 6, taking out the garbage when a man grabbed her hand, attempting to drag her with him, according to ABC’s Good Morning America. 

“This guy walks by, and he touched me. He pulled me,” Ken’Adi said on GMA. “He just let go of me because I screamed.”

According to GMA, after the man let Nash go, she ran into the family’s home alerting her parents. 

“She came in with a blood-curling scream, she ran into the living room she said, ‘mommy someone tried to take me, he touched my private parts,'” Nash’s Mother Mandie Miller told CNN. “I went outside and saw him walking down the sidewalk.”

Both parents chased the man on foot before the father jumped into his car

The 8 Back-To-School Dresses Emily And Birdie Picked Out

There are about a million things I miss doing with my mom but one is definitely shopping together. I know that sounds shallow and superficial but they were times full of discovery, joy, and a lot of laughter. Ok, not every time was pure bliss since we were still mother and daughter, but most of the time those shopping trips just felt really special. So recently, when Em was mentioning how much fun it was to shop with Birdie for her back-to-school dresses, hearing that took me right back. But also, how could it not be when you have a kid like Birdie who LOVES color, fun prints, and of course, sparkles?! Obviously, we all wanted to see what they picked out and boy did our hearts melt when we did. The dresses are so stinking cute! We told Em this needed to be a blog post. However, since the Henderson’s are MOVING INTO THE FARMHOUSE this week and are extremely busy, I volunteered to write it. I mean once upon a time I was also a little one who loved a pretty dress to wear to school. Needless to say, I felt qualified. Also, school has already started for … Read More
