What I Own and Love from the Wayfair Memorial Day Sale

Wayfair’s Memorial Day Sale is officially on. If you’ve been eyeing a furniture upgrade or need some outdoor pieces before summer kicks off, now’s the time to snag them. The sale runs through 5/27, so let’s get into my top picks that I own and love!  

Office Deals

This office has such a rich, layered feel and the details really bring it to life. The diamond pattern rug and doorknob are both on sale right now, which makes it even easier to recreate the look. The rug gives the space a classic foundation, and that vintage-inspired knob is the kind of detail that always gets compliments. It's all about those thoughtful touches.

Primary Bedroom Deals

So many pieces from our bedroom are on sale right now, and I’m not mad about it. The full-length mirror, chairs, light switch wall plate, doorknob, and rug are all marked down. It’s rare for this many favorites to be discounted at once. Each one adds something special to the room, and together they make it feel warm, collected, and lived in.

Sunroom Deals

Our sunroom gets the best light, and it’s one of my favorite spots in the house. The rug and doorknob in here are both currently on sale, which makes it a great time to bring a little bit of this space into your own home. The textured rug adds so much warmth, and that antique-style doorknob is such a pretty detail. It’s all in the little things.

Bathroom Deals

This red bathroom is full of dramatic details, and so many of them are currently on sale. The stone top vanity, mirror, toilet lever, shower curtain rod, and even the soap dispenser are all marked down. It’s a great chance to pull together a similar look with pieces that feel high-end without the full price tag. Every item adds a little richness and charm to the space.

Front Porch Deals

Our front porch has become such a welcoming little spot, and a few of the key pieces out here are on sale. The front door mat, trellis, urn planter, and swing are all marked down right now. Each one adds just the right touch of charm and function to the space. If you’ve been thinking about sprucing up your porch, this is a great time to grab these favorites.

Summer Porch refresh

Our Summer Porch Refresh (Cozy, Functional & Ready for Lounging)

There’s just something about the start of summer that makes me want to press reset, especially on our outdoor spaces. As soon as the weather warms up, the porch becomes our favorite spot to hang out, so I decided it was time to give it a proper refresh. I wanted it to feel cozy and lived-in, but still practical enough to hold up to real life (and a lot of lounging). After a few thoughtful changes, it’s officially ready for everything from morning coffee to slow summer evenings.

I wanted the porch to feel like a true extension of our home: inviting, practical, and layered with texture. So I reimagined the space with comfort and function in mind and created three little “zones” that make it feel both cozy and intentional.

Here’s how it came together:

  • The lounge area: A cushioned sofa and a coffee table anchor this spot. I added a cordless lamp and a candle to bring in a little ambiance once the sun dips.

  • The conversation corner: Two oversized swivel chairs with an accent table in between. It’s perfect for morning coffee, afternoon chats, or just soaking up the sun.

  • The swing nook: A classic porch swing layered with pillows is basically made for lazy afternoons and evening unwinds.

To warm up the space and pull it all together, I added:

  • A soft, patterned outdoor rug to define each seating area

  • Neutral throw pillows and cozy blankets to soften the seating

  • Potted white hydrangeas and topiaries for a touch of freshness

  • A weatherproof deck box to store cushions and throws when we’re not using them

And because I like to test things before I rely on them, I actually left the deck box out in the rain on purpose, just to see how it would hold up. Not a drop of water got inside. It’s been such a practical addition, especially for keeping everything clean and dry without dragging things in and out of the house.

The little details like the cordless lamps, the layered greenery, and the gentle sway of the swing, make the whole space feel relaxed and lived-in. It’s calm, intentional, and just the kind of place we want to be at the end of a long day.

We’ve already used it for morning coffee, evening hangs, and everything in between. It’s amazing how just a few thoughtful updates can completely change the feel of a space, especially when you fill it with pieces you truly love.
