Chas’ Crazy Little Letter: Omaha Adventures & High-End Decor
Hi Friend!
Welcome back! I am writing to you from the road this week, and my heart is so full.
⚾ Baseball & Besties
I am currently traveling with a dear friend to Omaha! Her son is playing his final year of college baseball, and I couldn’t miss the chance to cheer him on. Plus, I get to stay with another one of my absolute best friends who lives in the area.
There is nothing quite like a road trip with good friends to recharge your batteries.
🌿 Dollar Tree… or Pottery Barn?
Before I left, I wanted to tackle a design problem. Dollar Tree has amazing seasonal items, but sometimes the shiny plastics and bright colors can look a little… cheap.
I wanted to show you how to find the hidden neutral pieces (like baskets, woods, and glass) and style them so they look like expensive, high-end decor. Oh, and I also found a genius $1.25 way to hide those ugly wall outlets in your kitchen!
Watch the video below to see how I styled it all:
🤫 Did you miss the hidden project?
Last week, I shared a video all about my favorite cleaning hacks. But I realized I might have accidentally hidden something from my crafters!
If you love home decor and DIYs, I actually put a Spring Dollar Tree Styling project at the very end of that cleaning video! If you skipped it because you didn’t want to watch cleaning, you can [click here to watch it and just skip to the end!] (Link to last week’s cleaning video).
🏡 From the Archives: Omaha Charm
Since I am staying in Omaha this week, I was reminiscing about a beautiful project I shared on the blog a while ago.
A few years ago, I got to tour my friend’s stunning 100-year-old Omaha home. If you love vintage charm, unique quirks, and gorgeous architecture, you have to come take a look at this house tour.

Let’s Chat! I know a lot of you read these letters quickly (I skim my emails too!), but I always love connecting with you in the comments. Since I’m in the car this week, I have to ask:
What is your absolute favorite road trip snack? Are you a salty chips person, or a sweet candy person?
