What started as a weekend with no plans somehow turned into a totally filled weekend over the past week. We’re hosting some friends at the pool on Saturday and purchased last minute tickets for a bucket list concert on Sunday. We’re actually gearing up for a busier-than-normal fall over here, but having simplified a lot of things on the home front, I’m finding myself actually looking forward to everything more… it doesn’t all feel quite so overwhelming. But, as we head into Labor Day weekend, I wanted to share two things. First, my mom’s simple, fun, Halloween entry we pulled together this past week, and second, my favorite Labor Day deals (as of today).

Gran Nan’s Halloween Entry
My mom has a classic, small entry set up just in front of her front door and this week, we took some quick, simple measures to vamp it up for spooky season! Pulling away from a lot of seasonal decor myself, as I wade through all we have, this was so fun and inexpensive to pull together!
Sources: Skeleton | Wood Chip Wreath | Gold Mirror (similar) | Black Lantern (medium) | Pillar Candle | Wooden Rectangular Tray | Black Candlesticks | Taper Candles (set of 2) | Bag of Bones | Two-Tone Wood Bead Garland | Paper Bats (similar 1.; similar 2.) Black Foyer Chest (larger version still available)
Sources: Wood Chip Wreath | Gold Mirror (similar) | Black Lantern (medium) | Pillar Candle | Wooden Rectangular Tray | Black Candlesticks | Taper Candles (set of 2) | Bag of Bones | Two-Tone Wood Bead Garland | Paper Bats (similar 1.; similar 2.) | Black Foyer Chest (larger version still available)
By the way, if you’re putting together some sort of bone collector vignette, I loved mixing in THESE $4 beads to pull it all together while keeping it chic.

I think Halloween is going to be a lot of fun with Eliza this year 😉
10 Top Labor Day Deals
Be sure to check out the deals below. I feel like there are better deals this weekend than there have been in a long while of holiday weekends!
Number 1. Serena and Lily La Jolla Baskets
I have THESE in both color options and in most sizes but the Natural is probably my favorite of the two. These are substantial and phenomenal quality and stand the daily wear of serving as a hamper. All colors and sizes are on sale but the best deals are the small and medium sized Natural versions — both 40% off HERE!
Lidded Basket (large) | Tissue Box Holder (similar) | Drawer Pulls (champagne bronze 5 1/16′)
Number 2. Anthro Cane & Oak Sideboard
One of my favorite pieces I’ve purchased over the past few years, my long sideboard (compete with both drawers for things like placemats and shelving for entertaining pieces) is on sale for 40% off HERE. It comes in a natural wood color also, but the black with gold/coppery metallic is my favorite.
As an FYI, the gold Primrose mirror (mine is the 5′ version) that leans on top of it is on sale in a few sizes and colors HERE.
Sideboard | Primrose Mirror (gold; 5′) | Round Jute Rug (7 x 7′) | Salt & Pepper Shaker Set | White Stoneware Vase | Faux Magnolia Branches | Candle Holders (similar)
Number 3. Serena & Lily Round Dining Table
We have the 48″ version which is currently on sale for 35% off (it looks like the larger version was discontinued). Changing the table that we dine at daily from glass to this finish was the BEST decision. I wipe down with a wet paper towel as needed but after having it for a year (with a super messy young child), it’s still in perfect, pristine condition. Find the 48″ version HERE.
Wood Bead Chandelier | Dining Table (48′ Diameter) | Dining Chairs (pebble) | Sideboard | Primrose Mirror (gold; 5′) | Round Jute Rug (7 x 7′) | Large Black Bowl | Terracotta Beaded Garland | Salt & Pepper Shaker Set | Linen Napkins | Candle Holders (similar)
Number 4. 24″ Powder Room Vanity
Probably the lowest price I’ve ever seen it, my 24″ white cabinet vanity with marble top is on sale for $482 (plus free shipping). Absolutely insane! We made over our powder room several years ago and I have nothing but great things to say about the vanity. You can find the white finish (along with several other color options) HERE. By the way, the widespread faucet is a great deal on Amazon right now HERE — ours is the chrome finish.
Sconce (brass)| Mirror (brass, 24″x36″) | Vanity | Faucet (chrome) | Foaming Soap Pump Dispenser | Woven Waste Basket (whitewashed) | Turkish Hand Towel | Rug (2’x3′) | Wallpaper
Number 5. Long Handle Broom/Dustpan Combo
I love love love our broom and dustpan combo and we actually have two now — one for inside; one for the basement/garage. Right now, it’s 45% off on Amazon, listed at $19.19! The rubber lip of the dustpan helps capture the small debris and the teeth helps clean the bristles. the Broom and dustpan attach to one another and the head of the broom stores right inside the dustpan, standing up. You can find it in several colors HERE.
Number 6. Ballard Bunny Williams Mughal Arch Umbrella
Not only are my outdoor umbrellas back in stock (I know a lot of you were bummed when they became unavailable this summer), but they’re also 25% off this weekend HERE! I used THIS umbrella stand with them (also on sale this weekend), and added the extra weights to them.
Chaise Lounges (set of 2) | Umbrella (black pole/canvas sand w/black trim) | Umbrella Stand & Weight | Outdoor Side Table | Stone Planter (XL) | Striped Pillow Covers (24 x 24, set of 2) | Pillow Inserts (26 x 26, set of 2)
Number 7. PB Tanner Console Table
The long, narrow console table in my living room is 20% off this weekend and a great price for the piece. I needed something conservative on depth to allow for plenty of walking space and this table has been the perfect solution.
Console Table | Rattan Mirror (similar) | Quartz Geode | Terracotta Urn (similar) | Large Textured Vase | Black Watering Can
Number 8. Cane Back Accent Chair
On sale for under $275, plus free shipping, this accent chair is a versatile steal. I have a single chair in the conversation room, but it’s perfect as a duo also, in a sitting room, bedroom, etc.
Cane Arm Chair | Lumbar Pillow| Bird Art Print Pair | Faux Olive Tree | Large Gold Picture Frames| Rug (8 x 10′)
Number 9. Canvas & Leather Weekender Bag
My canvas and leather weekender bag (with monogram) is 25% off this weekend. (Plus, use code SHIPFREE for free shipping, too). After I purchased the big one, I loved it so much, I got one for my mom in navy (it comes in five colors!) Then, once they released a smaller version, I bought that one, too. Lightweight, fantastic quality, and I don’t take a trip without it.
Number 10. J.Crew Colorful Floral Hoop Earrings
After being on my wishlist late last year, I received THESE as a Christmas gift and they’re so pretty in person. Especially as someone who routinely wears black, I love having these as a fun color pop. If color isn’t your thing, they also come in a uniform crystal version, too. This weekend, they’re 40% off with code SHOPNOW HERE.

Wishing you a great Labor Day weekend and hoping you’re doing something fun/relaxing to reward yourself!
Hi Kelley, love your blogs and advice. Would love to know about best softest sheets. Ones that don’t pill and stay fresh. So far, best I’ve found are from Lands End.
Thank you, Maxine, for your sweet note.
Here’s a link to my absolute favorite sheets. I love them and they don’t pill, even though we wash them often!

I can also highly recommend these sheets that we have on Eliza’s bed. They are excellent quality and no pilling has occurred.

Have you done any updates on Gran Nan’s house since the first view posts? I know you posted about storm damage she had.
Would love to see how it all turned out since we down sizes as well recently.
Hi Carolynn, I am so flattered that you asked and Gran Nan is too! While I haven’t done a full home tour, I have featured several rooms in her home in different posts, including her office, kitchen and primary bedroom. Here are the links to those posts and I hope you are enjoying your new space!
