Spring Family Room with AllModern

Image
* This post is sponsored by AllModern but the views and opinions expressed are my own .   What better time than Spring to freshen up my family room? Spring is when I feel the need to re-arrange and lighten things up a bit. Blue is my go-to color for decorating so of course it stays. Blue is calming and coordinates so well with other colors. Any other blue lovers in the house?   Over the years, I've gravitated towards the less is more approach. I hate clutter and am all about a clean and functional space. Too much stuff can look untidy and chaotic. Minimal and modern please. Our storage ottoman has come in handy to store movies and games and corral all the little stuff that tends to junk up a space. The ottoman also doubles as a coffee table. I've decided to add some plants in the mix. Bring the outside in. I had a fiddle leaf fig a couple years back. It lived a good year until winter came and then it went south. I'm all about a good faux plant but can't beat the health

Spring Rug Refresh

Spring is here! Time to clean out all the things and freshen up our spaces. One of the biggest ways to transform a room is to change the decor in it. Usually the biggest thing in the room is the rug on the floor. I rounded up some pretty rugs that I thought would be great to lighten up the room and even give it a punch of color if that's your thing. Of course I included some blues. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9   I've got my eye on a few of these because I'm switching things up over here too!

Modern Chandeliers

My favorite light in the house has got to be the chandelier in my dining room. I loved that light since I first laid eyes on it. It's the West Elm Mobile Chandelier , which can be pricey, but I waited for it go on sale. Ever since I've had the light, I see so many versions of it. I wanted to round up some of them and share. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9     Would you consider any of these for your own home?

Bathroom Art With PhotoWall

Image
Every room needs art. Whether it be a canvas or framed, art kind can complete a space. It adds texture to the space and another dash of color and interest. We are in the process of designing our master bathroom and want it to feel like a retreat. We want to enter a spa every time we walk in. All the cares of the world to just fall away when we're in it. When choosing art for the bathroom, I wanted soothing color and theme. When PhotoWall reached out to try one of their canvas prints, I knew exactly what I wanted. A little piece of nature. I chose the Stones canvas. I love the serene feeling that this piece gives off. The colors are soothing and the stones are very spa-like. One of the good things about purchasing from PhotoWall is that you can choose the size you want to best fit your space. You can go so far as cropping and changing the actual objects in the picture. If there's a dinosaur in the picture on the website, you can choose to make it a dog. Now that's cus

Master Bathroom: The Plan

Image
This is the second time we are refreshing our master bathroom. The first time, we painted the cabinets , painted the walls blue , and framed the mirrors . It has remained this way for the last 8 years. I was never a fan of the blue paint. From the moment it went up on the walls, I knew I didn't like it. Why not change it then, you ask? Because I hate painting and I knew that hubby wouldn't want to paint again either.   The time has finally come for me to make the bathroom as spa-like as possible. Hubby agreed and I have quickly began to order items and make changes. You don't have to tell me twice!   I shared my mood board for this room previously. Laying the new flooring is probably the largest job we need to do. We painted the walls a couple weeks ago the same color as downstairs, Behr Silver Drop. It's a very light gray and the color looks different depending on the room it's in. I have also been able to change out the lights and remove those huge builder mirror

Rectangle Mirrors Under $200

Hey! Hey! Hey! I've been working hard on the master bathroom. It's a little exhausting trying to make sure all the pieces work together.    One of the things I really wanted when designing the new look was a floating mirror. Our current mirrors are the large builder grade ones glued to the wall. I framed them several years ago and painted them dark brown to match the vanities. I am ready for a change.   There are so many options out there so I decided to share what I found. These are all 24x36 in size. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

Master Bathroom Refresh

Looks like our master bathroom is finally getting a makeover!   We had our shower re-done last fall because of a leak. We hadn't planned on doing it so soon but you can't have water leaking all over the place right?   As soon as hubby gave me the green light to get this room done, I started putting a plan together. I'm going for a light and clean modern vibe. The shower is done and the floors are already chosen so I'm working around those items. Here's what I have in mind. vanity light mirror vanity floors cabinet knob hand towel robe hook towel ring shower tile   There are several DIYs planned so stay tuned!
