Family Room Photos & Resources

I have a little problem.
I can’t leave STUFF alone. 
I find stuff, bring it home, live with it for a while then….
I paint it, cut it, glue it, reupholster it, ….
I change things all the time.
I drive my family a little(a lot) crazy from time to time.
My poor husband!
So because I changed STUFF around AGAIN in my family room,
 I thought I would share some photos & resources.
Here we go….

This room was decorated on a modest budget.
  The entire room which is a large room (23 x 18) was decorated and furnished for just under $1700. 
 That includes everything, even hardware, pillows, rugs, etc… but the couches (those I used from my old house). I do have new couches budgeted into my plan but holding off, not sure white slipcovers can handle  a toddler:).
I love scoring a deal & paying substantially less for an item, especially the larger items because those can add up, quickly!
To do this I shop at outlet stores, Home Goods, tag & estate sales, antique stores  and YES, yard sales. 
I like when I can find pieces that are unique, time worn and tell a story. I am also a huge DIYer, these days it is easy to find inspiration for these types of projects, Pintrest is a great source.

Sometimes when you have a small budget to work with it forces you to become resourceful. 
 Thank you for taking the time to visit.
Happy Decorating!

Finding Balance + Being Present

Today is the last day of school for my boys and it feels bittersweet. It has been a great year and although I do know all good things must come to an end, I guess a part of me doesn’t want to fully recognize that they are growing up and getting bigger. It’s all going by too fast. I am trying to hold on so tight to this time together because I want to always remember the pure joy I feel. I have written so often how important it is for me to “be present” because I know from the personal experience of loss that these small moments of time are such a gift.

Haven, Blogging Perspective + 6 Simple Boho Picnic Ideas

I am off to Haven tomorrow so I thought I would pop in before I left. This is my 2nd year going and I am super excited. For anyone who isn’t familiar with this blogging conference, its focus is DIY and decorating & let me just say this is such an amazing experience if you are a blogger whose focus is that. The nice thing is everyone is in the same genre, so there is so much to talk about, blog goals, techniques, SEO, decorating, DIY but for me the best part are those little conversations I get to have with friends old and new that make me feel connected and a part of something much bigger.

  1. Your family room is beautiful and inspiring. So many lovely details. I actually love your brown sofas (our family room has white slips and with 2 young teens and a chocolate Lab it is painful to keep them clean.)
    I’m stopping by from the Wicker House and I’m now going to be following and putting your blog in my sidebar. I really like your decor style.

  2. Love love your family room. Is the Pottery Barn outlet a good deal? I am looking for dining room chairs and was wondering if they would be cheaper than in the store. Unfortunately the closest one to us is in Memphis!

  3. Hi Cheryl,
    Thank you so much for your kinds words. Yes, the PB outlet is so much cheaper. If you can take the drive usually it is worth it. I would call each week to find their sales, each week something else has a percentage off & maybe you can hit it right with the chairs, that is when it is a SUPER good deal. Happy shopping!

  5. It’s like a cool breeze on a hot day. Very tranquil. Almost beach cottgae-y but very subtle. I love it! Those benches are so cool! And your wall colors are perfect, I want to paint mine so bad!!

  6. I have couches that color – needed dark for 3 kids, a dog and a cat, but I really need to paint my walls, the room is heavy right now – I love your wall color – what color is it?
