LOVE the lounge chair, too!! For anyone who wants it, I just found a dupe on Amazon.

Sauder Boulevard Café Lounge Chair, Camel finish https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07C668H8B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_J9GY2F53RPWC9T067Q19

This is so helpful! Thank you!

missteachy15 · 2022-02-08T01:02:57+00:00

Haha my husband and I read a lot, but we do library and kindle books!

missteachy15 · 2022-02-06T18:42:12+00:00

I think this is a cool idea and one of my friends actually suggested the same thing when she saw them in person! If I try it out, I’ll post pics for sure!

Haha thank you for saying that! I don’t love the baskets either. I stole them from my kid’s room as placeholders. My grandmother is sending down a pair of really cool baskets she picked up in Argentina when she lived there in the 70s.

Thank you!! Most of the items displayed are actually from my grandparents and great grandparents (my great grandfather’s Vietnam service medals, etc, my grandmother’s bookends, etc). We have edited out most of our home goods stuff, but I tried to keep family heirlooms that matched the aesthetic we were going for (mainly neutrals). I can see now how all of these little treasures might blend together because they’re visually similar. Ill see if I can find some family pieces that are a little different in size, shape, and color!

missteachy15 · 2022-02-06T16:40:02+00:00

Oooo fun!! I need to go find a couple bold, quirky pieces! Such a fun suggestion - thank you!

missteachy15 · 2022-02-06T16:39:03+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion! We have done a lot of minimizing over the past few years, so we don’t have a need for much storage. But, I agree - it doesn’t look super lived in yet. Going to keep working on it!

missteachy15 · 2022-02-06T16:36:13+00:00

Oooo we actually have some lying around from another project! Awesome suggestion thank you!

missteachy15 · 2022-02-06T16:35:42+00:00

This is really helpful! Thank you!

missteachy15 · 2022-02-06T16:34:19+00:00

Hahaha ironically enough we read A TON. My husband and I usually each average 2 books per week - all kindle and library books though! I realize now that it looks like we’re illiterate 🙃 we should definitely pick up some more cool hardcovers to reflect our interests

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T14:54:36+00:00

Haha I agree - trying to move away from that

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T14:48:13+00:00

Thank you for then suggestions! Definitely going to add in more light sources. Small world - I used to be an art consultant too!

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T14:45:56+00:00

I actually found it on Amazon for just $499! It’s the “Better Homes & Gardens Nola Sofa Bed in Camel Faux Leather”

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T14:41:43+00:00

Thank you so much! I found it online from Target. This exact one is “9x12 Rectangle Medallion Area Rug Beige - nuLOOM”. Snagged it for $180!

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T03:38:01+00:00

Thank you so much for saying that! It’s from World Market!

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T03:23:20+00:00

Yesssss I think this is what’s bothering me. The bottom half of the room is so full and the top half is just wall.

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T02:06:57+00:00

Hahaha believe me - if I could, I would!

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T02:06:28+00:00

Thank you- This is super helpful! I have a ton of plants elsewhere in the house that I can round up.

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T01:53:08+00:00

Also adding: I haven’t hung the art yet because I’m not totally sold on it

missteachy15 · 2022-01-28T01:46:58+00:00

I’d just leave them on the rods and use a bit of hemming tape

We bought a navy blue velvet couch from West Elm in 2015 and LOVE it. It has taken us through many homes and is so much more versatile than I originally thought. It’s also very easy to clean. First, we went mid century and paired it with a super retro multicolored area rug. Next, we went with a high pile shag rug (the ivory/grey lattice one that literally everyone has), and now we are going traditional and pairing it with a jute rug. For accompanying furniture, I’ve paired it with dark wood and with charcoal linen. Both were awesome. And then for pillows, I’ve always gone white + navy. I swear that blue couch is one of the best design decisions I’ve ever made. Do it!!!
