The November Edit

Can you believe that the holidays are just around the corner? It is hands down my favorite time of the year. Although, I LOVE the warmer months, I have a special place in my heart for the slower pace of the cooler months.

It’s not just the joy that comes from spending time with loved ones, but having the opportunity to reflect on life as we slow down. This is a great time to think about the abundance in our lives, assess items that no longer serve us, and spend time getting intentional about what works or doesn’t work in our lives. Think - what is taking up meaningless space in your home and make a plan to donate it (Remember it is GIVING season). Overall, find ways to simplify and use spaces more intentionally.

Here’s some key pieces that have been serving some serious inspiration this month. Let’s jump in..

Transitional Moments - Doorways and halls are lesser thought of areas of the home, but are integral for carrying us from one main living area to another. These locations help to tell the story of what is going on with one space and how it connects to the next. This is a great opportunity to create interesting elements that help marry two spaces together. Or it could be just adding extra detail to make the walk that much more enjoyable.
Stools - Alright, someone has to say this, but the Serena & Lily stools are SO overdone. Stools can be a really fun component in design for an easy moving piece that functions as both a footstool, side table, you name it. But we can get a bit more creative here. I love thinking outside the box and this marble example does just that. It’s a pretty twist on this multi-functioning piece. Strive to be different!
Smart Storage - It is so important in design to use space wisely. I love the idea of turning a space that is an afterthought into a space that adds positively to a clients life. A couple ideas, extra slim storage on the ends of cabinetry where more cabinet filler might normally go or storage for baking sheets/cutting boards within cabinet toe kicks.
Suggestive Art - I love swapping out wall art throughout the seasons. To help with cost, you can keep this to one key area that you might want to swap out every so often to go with the vibe of the season. I love this minimal art, it works perfectly as it portrays bringing people together and having a joyful time. The intentionality of this art is sure to bring the warm and merry into your home.
Fireplace Tile - This fireplace SCREAMS cool (how ironic). The overall fireplace is tiled head to toe in a pretty modern shape plus the cool blue tone is simply stunning. The end result gives off an effortless cool mood.

Thanks for checking in!

The October Edit

It’s safe to say that the month has been a whirlwind as I’m just getting around to sharing some design elements that have inspired me lately. With summer far in the rear view, I’ve been feeling the strong pull to curl up and hibernate. This immense desire leads me to needing a few key pieces in my home for cozy season.

Here’s some key pieces that have been giving me major inspiration over the last month. Let’s dive in..

Cool tones - Where I naturally gravitate towards warm and happy colors. This past month I’ve been really leaning into cooler colors with a bit of moodiness. This is to be expected around this time of year when we get the natural urge to want to relax and slow down as days start to become darker. And you know what? I’m here for it!

Shades of Glass- I am really digging different color variations for glass items. These accent tables are stunning. I’m seeing this sort of color play in a lot of lamps, candle sticks and other small decorative items. This is a fun way to incorporate a hint of color within your space.

Paper Mâché - Chefs kiss to the artists that put interesting spins on everyday items. I simply adore this table lamp. It’s a cool way to pull in a textural element into your home (always about the texture). The mustard stripes kick it up a notch by adding some fun personality.

Pronounced Trims - Neutrals don’t have to be boring. We can bring some serious interest with super contrasted piping or big chunky stripes.

Unexpected Color - I love the concept of having hidden pops of color as a cool surprise moment. Not everything needs to be so obvious within our homes, what about the overlooked places? Let’s turn our attention to these afterthought locations, making sure to bring joy to more areas of our lives.

Thanks for swinging by!
