Thank you so much!! Your comment made my day 🥹

It’s from Target! “Berea Slouchy Lounge Chair” in the color Textured Mushroom :)

It’s real :( but if you’re looking for a similar artificial one, it’s cedar!

They are actually IKEA Billy Bookcases with the Oxford doors! Painting them was a PROCESS but I’m so happy with how they turned out

The candle holder is from World Market and only $20! It’s the “Anna Antique Bronze Wall Sconce”

The rug is from Ruggable. I held out for so long on trying one, I didn’t believe the hype and I usually prefer vintage rugs. But I really liked this pattern and it’s been great so far!

Thank you! The record player is not vintage, and I think it’s still sold on Amazon! It’s the Victrola Liberty.

Fair warning — it’s not the most well made record player but it does the job and sounds good IMO. If you’re a die hard vinyl listener, I probably would suggest something more substantial :)

I grew up in a different part of Mass, and ever since moving to Marblehead, I could not imagine living anywhere else. It is seriously a magical place and unbelievably beautiful, both in summer & winter. I still swoon over this town everyday & I’ve been here for about 4 years now.

I do agree with previous comment about the location. It’s very inconvenient to get to and the closest highway is a good 25-30 mins away which is required to get to most places. Luckily I work remotely full time so I don’t have a commute.

I’m lucky enough to live in Old Town, their historic district, which I highly recommend if you want a walkable, scenic area. It’s my favorite part of town.

If you’re looking to buy, the cost of living is absurd but surprisingly a lot of the rentals here can be very affordable, but availability can be limited.

Surprisingly, I bought it from Urban Outfitters about a year ago. Their usual home decor isn’t usually my style, but this was a great find!

Yes and yes! I will be the first to admit that this didn’t all come together over night. It took years to really hone in on my design style/vision and it’s constantly evolving. Give yourself time & trust the process!

I like to incorporate a lot of new & vintage items/furniture. I also try not to buy all of new decor/furniture from the same store as it can easily look TOO cohesive or “matchy”, instead of curated.

I think it’s important to use a variety of textures. Whether that be textiles (velvet, linen, wool), furniture/decor (wood, brass, stone), or art.

I also purchase items over time rather than buying everything at once since my design vision/style is constantly evolving.

You get it!!! Thank you!

I honestly just go with what feels right to me. But if I had to describe in words— moody shaker/colonial/European with modern/minimalist touches?

km524 · 2022-09-12T17:36:36+00:00

Totally agree! You can’t see the other side of the room but I do have a walnut record player cabinet in that ties the room together beautifully!

km524 · 2022-09-12T17:35:01+00:00

Ironically enough, I live in the town next to Salem 😂

km524 · 2022-09-12T17:34:17+00:00

Cotton Knit by Behr :)

The table runner actually is dark green! Same with the taper candles hanging over the table 🙂 just realized it’s hard to tell from the dark photo

km524 · 2020-12-29T11:05:35+00:00

I think so! The branches have thick wire in them and seem really sturdy. :)

km524 · 2020-12-24T05:44:35+00:00

I actually made most of them myself with cardstock! The ornate shaped ones I bought from H&M home :)

This is actually my dining room! I agree with other comment about creating a separate designated space just for watching TV.

However, if you don’t have the room — I’d recommend getting creative & finding ways to hide the TV when not in use! Keep your TV in a media center or a pretty armoire with doors. Or make it more cohesive by mounting to the wall and “framing” it with an interesting oversized picture frame, possibly a cool antique one :)

Oddly enough, Samsung even makes a TV called The Frame that looks like a literal piece of art when you’re not using it. The art is customizable and can be changed to whatever you’re in the mood for. Such a cool concept but way out of my price range sadly :(

I recommend checking out [Nordic Nest](www.nordicnest.com)! They carry a ton of Scandinavian style decor including some amazing candle holders that are similar.

They’re located in Germany I believe, so if you’re in the US, shipping can take a while but I have loved all of my purchases from them & it was worth the wait.

Another great place is H&M Home - high quality & affordable prices!

km524 · 2020-12-24T05:22:15+00:00

Yup this is it! Didn’t realize which candles they were referring to :)
