Currently Craving: Pastels

The cold and dreary weather in NY has me craving for poppy spring time pastels. That mint Rebecca Minkoff bag is of top priority this spring!

Was going to wait to post a pic of these babies when I had them properly styled and when I had a minute to break out my real camera and not just the iPhone buuuttttt screw it! I’m obsessed! Typically I err on the safe side with things that are more permanent around my home. I’ll go wild with pillows and paint but when it comes to investing in upholstery and more expensive pieces of furniture I like to pick things that I feel I won’t get sick of. But these beauties might have just made me a risk taker for life. If you’ve been following me for some time these are the same yellow chairs I scored when a neighbor was moving out and just left these on the curb! 😱 They were in decent shape. The frame was great but the fabric was torn in places and very faded. Anyway, I knew I could give them a new life but it took a while for me to decide what to do. I’m so glad I picked this Braemore Jamil leopard. It’s literally giving this place life!! Anyway, long winded way of saying TAKE SOME RISKS it’s worth it! And in the end it’s really just furniture anyway, so who cares! (Swipe to see the before) .

This chair 😍. Remember when I scored these babies via Facebook? (Sidewalk trash is sorta my thing 😏). I literally had no idea where these (I have two) would go. But the caning and the rounded shape was just too good to pass up! Anyway the wood was in great shape, caning also perfect. All it needed was a new cushion covers. What’s great is that both cushions come off the chair. So it’s just a matter of making new ones for seasonal changes or whenever my fickle little heart needs a change. 🙈 swipe to see the before! .

Everyone on IG is “tidying up” and doing Konmari on every crevice if their home and I’m completely guilty of this as well! No matter how “basic” it’s become, there is such an overwhelming sense of calm I feel when things are in order, and there is no clutter, even in places I don’t see everyday (like the garage!). I’m also a bit of an organization junkie. It’s hard to keep on top of it, but I get such a thrill out of planning out an organization strategy, even if it’s as small as a spice rack (which I did this weekend as well 🤣🙈). I plan to tackle our junk closet this weekend. Crossing my fingers it’s a quick one!! .

Little boy things and a big boy dresser. ❤️
So happy to finally have the perfect dresser for this kids room. Patience is not my strongest quality, but since owning a home, I’ve learned that waiting for that perfect piece is so worth it.

Starting the new year by adding some patterns to our living room. I’m a big believer in leopard being a neutral. It pretty much goes with everything! In the right pattern and the right coloration it’s just 👌🏼. I ordered leopard yardage to have those mustard chairs reupholstered in. Unfortunately the in stock date has been pushed back 3 times now 🙄. But they are torn and in pretty rough shape so I’m excited to give them a fresh look. But for now these pillow will have to do ❤️

Spent the last few days of 2018 purging, re-organizing, and shuffling furniture and pillows around in an effort for a fresh look/start on the year. I moved this chair that was in my youngest boys room to my dressing room. I nursed both my boys in this chair. Read them stories, and rocked them to sleep. I cried in this chair as a new mom scared to death that I wouldn’t be up to the job. This chair is the one thing in my house that holds the most sentimental value to me. It’s big and cumbersome. And it just didn’t work in either of the boys rooms anymore. I tried it in the master for a bit but it was just too big for the corner. My poor husband couldn’t walk around from his side without walking into it 🤣🙈. Anyway it somehow works here. And it makes me smile every time I look at it. ❤️. So happy 2019 to you all. May you make room in your life for fresh and new. De-cluttering your space, heads and hearts. And hold on you the things you treasure most! .
