Spring Change Up!

Wow, it has been a crazy few weeks... I have a lot to catch up on in terms of posting, but I wanted to post my spring re-fresh at my house. Since I got my furniture back from renting, I decided to change things up a bit!


My living and dining room have been given a refresh, moving my round kitchen table to the dining room to allow space to put the buffet table behind it.



The only new things in this room were complete scores! I got this rug from Homesense for $59.99 and two extra accent pillows on clearance for $13 and $23. Friends joke that I should be named the Homesense ambassador :).
I've got an obvious passion for bold patterns, but I'm always loving it in navy and white.

I found this chair from Elegant Garage Sale for an unbelievable steal of $25. I reupholstered it with fabric from Designer Fabrics. I moved the bamboo bar cart (that I got from my grandparent's attic) here, and dressed it up, under my $5 gold mirror from Canadian Tire.

The blue and yellow theme is carried out on throw pillows and this bathroom cup I got from West Elm.

I'm totally loving my beach house inspired family room right now. It's such an "Ahhh" spot.

Like I always say, put things in your home that make you happy! I found these cute little cast iron bunnies and they keep each other company on one of my lanterns.  Not everything needs to be symmetrical!

My mantle was cleared and I re-styled it with tone on tone cream, white and celadon objects for a relaxing, seaside feel.

Nothing says comfort like a big basket full of fluffy pillows. You can never have enough!

Latest Updates on My House

I just wanted to ring in the new year with some updated photos of the project that i'm eternally working on - my house. It's a work in progress, but just thought i'd share. Happy new year!

 Here's a solution for tighter, open spaces (this room is adjacent to the breakfast area)- try putting a pair of open backed chairs like these bamboo Chippendale arm chairs. Eventually I will get around to sewing seat cushions...

One of my many floral creations using a Wedgewood Tea tin as a vase.

 

I used this Ikea Liatorp table with the Jokkmokk chairs for this look in the breakfast area. There's a casual rug underneath to add extra warmth to the space. Personally I dont think there's anything wrong with using textiles in kitchen spaces as long as they're maintenance friendly!
More to come... stay tuned!
