#ad 😻Three cats, one baby, and zero scooping! #ad 😻Three cats, one baby, and zero scooping!

From early morning visits to late-night trips, the @thelitterrobot handles it all with self-cleaning after every use, keeping odors under control, and even tracking who visits when. (Yes, it really knows the difference between our cats 🐾).

It’s made our home feel tidier and our routine way easier, especially with a baby! We’re using up to 50% less litter, and I haven’t scooped in weeks.

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your cat care setup, this is your sign. #LitterRobotPartner

#ad✨This room has come such a long way, and the #ad✨This room has come such a long way, and the finishing touch was the wallpaper and fabrics I found on @spoonflower.

I used their peel and stick wallpaper in the reading nook and ordered the same design on cotton fabric to make a pleated lampshade. I chose some other fabrics to make pillows, curtains, and even cover a little ottoman.

It was so nice to be able to use the same pattern for wallpaper and fabric to make the space cohesive, and pick a few other patterns for more finishing touches. It all came together exactly how I imagined.

What do you think?!
