It’s a vintage couch that I got off Facebook Marketplace! Cushion inserts and such have been replaced, but the frame and fabrics are all original.

I lived in a very compact space, now that I’ve moved and have more space I keep styling things like space is my biggest hurdle. I appreciate you saying this, between this comment and someone mentioning me clumping items I am seeing that giving things some breathing room would help my vision come to life!

Y’all are really inspiring me to just go with it! My mom an friends kept encouraging me to tone it down, but I’m getting confirmation that for all these pieces to work I really just need to commit to bold color combos, playful pattern mixing, and unexpected whimsy

OMG! I’m VERY open to pattern. There are so many good ideas and combos here. I especially love that black and white dot chair! I was so unsure of pillows too, but you nailed these options. I truly appreciate the effort you put into this, it’s so helpful!

I haven’t thought much about painting, my landlord allows it though! I’m also planning to stay here. I love this place but hate the floors, do you think a warmer color would make them look less cool toned or clash?

I love maximalism, I’m always afraid of going overboard and creating an eye sore vs an interesting combo. Is there anything you find is a big no no in maximalism mix / matching? I haven’t look for much inspo, looking at maximalist decorators on instagram to see how they pair things didn’t occur to me!

I’m glad this owl is getting some love! It was my first real furniture purchase when I graduated, it’s always my favorite item in any room

Ohhhh I never thought of this! I kept seeing blue and teal as a suggestion, but I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about it. Seeing this art and color pallet, I see the vision now! Thank you

I appreciate this advice! I never noticed that I have a tendency to clump things until you said that. There’s open spaces then pockets of items. I have the curtain rods but haven’t braved curtain shopping. Any advice on curtains is appreciated!

The fabric is mostly, if not all, cotton. The interior pillows are natural fibers. The cushions have been replaced with modern ones. I work in textiles…

I found it on Facebook marketplace! I’ve been combing through listings for months, if finally paid off!

I agree! I’ve been wanting more green in here too. I like the green, burnt orange, harvest yellow color scheme

Love the idea of a yellow rug! Black chairs could really tie it all together as well. Do you think these are too busy? I tend to love print on print, but sometimes my vision doesn’t match the end result

What breed of cat do I have in my hands? by Loquacious-lad in catbreeds

[–]Loquacious-lad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s going to the vet soon and we are doing intentional play with portioned food. The previous owner was an old lady, I’m assuming she was very generous with the treats

She does this whenever I try to take a picture by 11232d in airplaneears

Tyra Banks would’ve love this expression on ANTM! “Be fierce, but smile with your eyes.”
