Finishing Touches in the Master Bedroom

When we were wrapping up our bedroom makeover a few months ago, there was one store that I turned to when it was time to put the finishing touches on the space!  If you follow me on social media, then you know one of my "go to" stores for accessories is HomeGoods!

Here are some items from HomeGoods that added the finishing touches to the room!

1.  Throw Pillows:  I love these felt throw pillows I found at HomeGoods.  They are simple yet interesting and the texture adds a lot to the space! The colors were perfect and the fringe and poms added a whimsical touch without being over the top!

 
2. Unexpected Elements: The textured wreath you see above the bed is also a HomeGoods purchase.  I love the unexpected element it adds to the space and it brings a lot of dimension to the room.  When working with such a limited color scheme, it is good to use interesting décor to keep the space from being bland.  I simply added it over an old, salvaged screen for a unique focal point above the bed!
 
 
3.  Tassel Throw Blanket:  I love using throw blankets pretty much all over the house!  They add such a warm and inviting element to the space!  I love the large tassels on this throw I found at HomeGoods and it was perfect in our bedroom!
 
 
4. Table Accessories: I kept things very simple and used a few vintage items to add character to the space.  A vintage, metal parts bin was used to add height to the nightstand.  A simple glass jar, metallic antlers and a few candles softened the space and created a serene feel in the space.  We turned salvaged staircase balusters, from an old house, into one of a kind lamps.  I love mixing vintage pieces with new pieces to keep things interesting!
 
 
6. Candles: Creating a relaxing ambiance was as simple as adding a few candles to each side of the bed.  Shown above, I just added small votive candles as well as a jar of tapers for visual interest.  On the other side, a large terrarium holds 5 large candles that create the perfect glow when lit! 
 
 
 
 
5.  Faux Plants: Since our dresser is so ornate, I knew I wanted to keep things simple!  These faux potted plants were the perfect way to add a natural element to the room without taking away from the beautiful details of the dresser. 
 
 
6. Simple touches in our reading nook:  A fur throw rug, pom pillow and cozy throw blanket make our reading nook a great place to snuggle up with a good book! 
 
 
 
Thank you, HomeGoods, for always being a great source for affordable home décor!

Monday Pinspiration {Vintage Drawers and Product Features}

It is no secret that I am a sucker for vintage drawers!  My antique card catalog is one of my most favorite pieces in our home.  I love the interest it brings to our home and the vintage vibe it adds!  I feel like these pieces all have a back story which makes them interesting!


Another fun piece in our home is this small, industrial parts cabinet.  I added it to our master bedroom to add a funky, unexpected touch!  Styled with a lot of candles and a few organic touches, it was the perfect fit!



For today's post, I have rounded up some of my favorite images from Pinterest  that are full of inspiration and eye candy! I have also found some unique pieces that would give you the same look for sale online and have linked them at the end of the post!  Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

An old general store counter full of glass front drawers...as a kitchen island?  Yes, please!

Do you love these amazing pieces as much as I do?  For those wondering, I have found all my pieces at local antique malls.  They go fast, so if you see one and think you want it, grab it while you can!  Also, check Craigslist, you never know what goodies you might come across!

Monday Pinspiration: {Open Shelving}

Good Monday morning to you!  Hope you had a great weekend! 

Today I have rounded up my favorite photos from Pinterest that feature some amazing inspiration for open shelving in the kitchen!  We have open shelving in our breakfast nook and I love it!  It was by far one of the easiest DIY projects I have done and probably my most favorite!  I really think that the shelves, paired with my huge plate rack, really make the space...


Here are some of my favorites found on Pinterest:

Am I the only one ready to rip out my cabinets and add shelves everywhere?  I think the only thing keeping me from it is the fact that I would have to dust twice a day! What about you?
Enjoy your week!

What's New Wednesday: {E-design Projects}


I thought I would check in and share a few projects I have been working on lately!  I usually do not share my e-design projects since I cannot share the sources due to contractual agreements but I had so much fun designing these rooms, I wanted to share!

Being the mom of two girls, I had a blast working with clients on their son's rooms!

This client is expecting a baby boy this summer.  She asked me if "modern vintage" was a style and something I could pull off and of course, I said yes!  She had some basic ideas of what she wanted, neutral with a pop of bright aqua, so I worked off that!  Here is what I came up with....


She told me she would send pictures of the finished project and I cannot wait!

The second client is a repeat client...I have had a blast working with her!  I designed her entryway and we have had the worst luck making this design happen in real life.  Everything was backordered...then when the bench arrived, it was broken!  Not good!  Hoping for her sake, everything will arrive quickly and in one piece soon!  Can't wait to show you pictures when this is completed.  Her house is gorgeous as is and this will be the icing on the cake!

 

I was thrilled when she asked me to design her son's room.  I had so much fun with this room and again, cannot wait to see it all pulled together.  After I sent the design board to her, she told me her son said it was "sic" so I guess that means I passed the test with him! Ha! While designing this space, I selected items that are "cool" now and that will be "cool" as he gets older!


I hope to get to share the end result in a few months!

Check back soon to see more of my projects!
