Over the weekend, I sold the black horseshoe lacquered linen coffee table from CB2 on Facebook Marketplace. It was a complete spur-of-the-moment design decision, and that means I need to whip up some modern living room decor ideas. Of course, I'm going to try to decorate on a budget. Here are a few virtual design mood boards that I'[...]
Remember when I said I had a sofa debacle? Well, it's fixed because a new brown leather couch just arrived, and I couldn't be happier. To refresh your memory, while The Boy and I moved the Interior Define sofa to storage, one of the back cushions flew out of the truck and was hit multiple times by semis and cars going 45 mph. I legit ran[...]
AllModern asked me to put together some virtual living room designs with their furniture that is currently on sale and share them on Instagram Stories, but how could I create killer virtual designs and not share them here? During the holidays, all of the furniture below is on sale - up to 40% off! Be sure to check out all of my living ro[...]
Boy oh boy, it has been entirely too long since I've written a Beautiful Distractions post. My apologies. Summer got the best of me, but that means we've been having fun over here, right? I have been scrolling the interwebs at night and saving fun things that have caught my eye, so here is a huge brain dump of what I'm loving now. Oh, but[...]
Today I have a before and after furniture reveal that is mind-blowing. A while back, I wrote about a quest for the perfect TV watching sofa. When we first moved into the house, I had purchased a vintage sofa with the thought process — it was preowned, it already has dents and dings, and I won't be sad when my kids wreck it. That though[...]
I'm saying goodbye to the vintage leather couch and hello to comfortable modern sofas for the living room. Apparently, we live like savages and have completely ruined that old couch. A living room makeover is in order because there are now 2 gigantic holes in the center cushion where my daughter likes to dig in her Barbie heels, it's unco[...]
Yep, I've been hearing that a lot lately...lots of folks asking me about the sofa I chose for the DesignOff. Today I'm going to break it down and talk a bit about the Chicago-based furniture company Interior Define, and why I chose the Caitlin sofa. Photo by Emilia Jane Photography I first heard about Interior Define a couple of yea[...]
Happy Wednesday! A couple of weeks ago Erica was snapping her "new" vintage interior design magazines, and I was drooling like a madwoman. Lucite, rattan, and glam, oh my! She clued me in on the fact that we are all obsessed over '70s design trends, and we didn't even know it. ERMERGERD!!!!! Seriously, she's so right! Don't believe me, re[...]
Warning! Do not read this post unless you want to drool and swoon over the most beautiful home decor on the planet. Ever since West Elm and Kate Spade hooked up, I've wanted to see more. More chairs. More lighting. More sofas. Well, it has arrived. The Kate Spade Home Decor line was recently launched. Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! I'm as giddy[...]
