Master bedroom Refresh

by Filed Under: home decor Leave a Comment

Inspiration comes in many different ways, shapes & sizes. I find myself getting inspired by specific objects alone! My girlfriends & I were actually just talking about that this past weekend. Are you one that tends to get inspired by one specific thing, such as a pillow, piece of furniture, rug, etc. Or does finding inspiration come in other ways for you?

Lately, I have been wanting to give my master bedroom a little refresh! I don’t have a big budget to spend on this project, so I wanted to keep it simple & affordable, using most of my existing large items. It’s amazing how much you can change up the look of a room by adding new bedding, rugs & accessories!

I have created this little mood board, because lets be honest, I’m LOVING those right now! It’s the best way for me to take my vision & bring it to life! Best part about it, is these items are AFFORDABLE!

I know what most are you are probably thinking… white bedding? Let me just say I have had white bedding in the past & absolutely love it! It just portrays serenity & cleanliness! Secret to keeping it clean? See below!

OxiClean white revive & stain remover will work miracles on your new & old, dingy whites! So fear no more, having white sheets, duvets, blankets, pillows, any of it!

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen the post where I shared my new olive tree! I am sharing the link to it above! I plan to do a product review & showcase it there as well, so consider this a little sneak peek of this product šŸ˜‰

As part of my master bedroom refresh, I also plan to paint. I haven’t completely came to a decision on paint colors yet, so your input is well appreciated!

Stay tuned for the makeover coming in the next few weeks!

Gallery wall update

by Filed Under: home decor Leave a Comment

I have had my current gallery wall since we moved in our house over 8 years ago! I love it because it displays some of my very favorite pictures of the kids through the years, but I think it’s time for an update!

My living room is a very open and airy space that opens up to my formal dining room and kitchen. The theme throughout each is, you guessed it, neutral tones! With that being said, I want to continue that neutral theme by adding white frames.

I’ve created this super simple mood board as my inspiration for the project! If you follow me on Instagram you may have participated in the poll asking for your all’s input on the “gallery wall” matter! I initially was torn between either doing the white frames or wrapped canvas. The results were 59% of you voted white frames and 41% voted wrapped canvas.

I feel the white frames will likely be the look I’m going for. I have looked up frame after frame and finally came to a conclusion on what I’ll be using! I can’t wait to share that with you! I know, I know… I’m leaving you hanging for now! But I will be sharing soon! Step 1 of the gallery wall update is getting new pictures taken of the kiddos. I think I’m going to opt for either black and white, or a muted filter for the pictures. Step 2 is painting my living room!

Keeping indoor plants alive is no joke & often times I fail at it. Today I’m sharing with you, a fool-proof method, the best faux fiddle leaf fig plants around!

Spring Mantel Design

If you’re anything like me, you’re much anticipating Spring! Last week I shared some faux houseplant inspiration and mentioned that I would be sharing my live plants this week! Well, the time is here! And let me just say, I’m a solid 3 (almost 4) weeks and the plants are still aliveĀ ā˜ŗļø Folks, this is a big deal! Let’s hope it stays that way! Today I’m sharing myĀ Spring mantel design!

Spring Mantel Design

My design inspiration came from the beautiful live plants I snagged while on a shopping trip to Aldi. I wasn’t expecting to come home with plants, yet I came home with three! Even went and bought more little ones later that day! Their bold, whimsical greens made me feel alive! And after a long winter here in Ohio, that was feeling I was absolutely aching for!

A Warm, Cozy Chic Christmas Tree

Hello there & welcome! Decorating my home for Christmas is one of my very favorite things! Creating a warm, cozy chic Christmas tree design was my goal this Christmas, & I feel that I accomplished just that!

I get asked a lot “do you buy all new ornaments each year?”, & the answer is no! I typically do shop after Christmas sales & may pick up some new ornaments for me to use the following Christmas, but I actually use the same ornaments year-to-year. It’s amazing how you can make your tree look different each year, even while using those same ornaments! [Read more…]

The weather here in Ohio went from the 90’s one day, to literally the 60’s the next! A typical Ohioan would say, “welcome to Ohio”. I’m not complaining one bit about the dropping temps! I am SO ready for the crisp temps that come with the changing season. The changing of the season’s has me eager to decorate the inside of my home to cozy, romantic comfort!

One of my favorite things to do each evening is light candles! Not only for the scent, but because it creates such a relaxing atmosphere. Our living room is where we spend most of our time in the evenings, so lighting some candles on the mantel after dinner, cozying up on the couch & watching our favorite shows is something I look forward to every day! You could also say I’m pretty cheesy in the sense of, every Fall it’s time to break out our favorite annual Halloween movies! Movies like Casper, Hocus Pocus & The Great Pumpkin Charlie BrownĀ ā˜ŗļø

Incorporating neutral tones is one of the simplest ways to change the decor during the season. For example, if you want to start with this neutral design, then add in some spooky details for Halloween and then simply transition into Thanksgiving decor. You can do so, so easily using these staple decor pieces!

What is your favorite way to bring Fall into your home each season? Do you have traditions that you tend to follow each year when it comes to decorating or incorporating certain pieces?

I would love to hear your remarks! Thanks so much for stopping by & shopping a little bit with me today! I hope to see you back here again soon!
