How I add Layers in our Living Room

01/24/2020 By Bre

One of the statements I hear most often regarding our home, is how cozy our living room looks. It truly is my most favorite space in our entire house, and I love how warm and inviting it feels in person too. One look at our couch, and it’s just asking you to come and plop down in between the layers of throw pillows and take a load off. Whenever I’m relaxing in this space I always find myself letting out a big exhale and admiring the room I’ve created. One of the things I believe that is a key contributor in making this space so cozy and inviting are the layers I’ve carefully added over the years. I didn’t realize while I was in the middle of the process, but every time I would analyze what was missing in our living room it would always come back to the layered look I’ve acquired. So today I’m sharing just how I added layers in our living room, and why I think they are key to making any space cozy and inviting.

Hello Friends! I don’t know about you, but this time of year is my favorite time to re-evaluate our homes current state. I like to go through each room and take note of the things in there I truly love, and what I’m not loving so much. It’s the perfect time to really take note of what we have in our homes, and it also helps me define my style a little bit better. When I don’t have anything seasonal out, and there are no upcoming holidays, I really get a true sense for how our home is decorated. If you are in feeling that same way, then be sure to check out my post below, Does Your Home Tell Your Story. Also rounded up in todays post are some other great decorating tips, and decluttering ideas you are definitely going to want to check out!

Goals for 2020

01/11/2020 By Bre

At the beginning of every year there are 2 things I share here on the blog, a look back over the previous year we just finished, and a look forward into the new year we are just starting! I love looking back, because I am always reminded of so many accomplishments I did the year before, that have somehow slipped my mind. And I love pausing to put some thought into goals that I have for the new year, as I continue to push forward and grow in my business and in life. I haven’t always shared my personal goals, I more often focus on goals I have for our house, but this year I’m sharing both! Goals I have for 2020, in our home, in my business and for my life.

How I Refresh our Entire House for the New Year

01/09/2020 By Bre

I’ve been sharing this week how our home is currently in “clean state” mode. The last of the Christmas decor bins have been brought down to the basement. I put away any of the throw pillow covers that I used for Christmas, and have found myself in no rush to bring back my everyday decor I had out before Christmas. Sometimes it’s nice to start the new year off with a clean slate visually and mentally in our homes. Not allowing anything to rush us into making decisions too quickly, or decorating for that matter. Nothing that visually clutters our mind, but really just allows us a little breathing room.

Hello Friends! I hope your New Year is off to a great start! I have been embracing this post-holiday slow down by just being content with where things are at in our home. Not rushing to put decor back up after all the Christmas decor has come down, but just really allowing the blank canvas of our homes current state to have time to breathe, which is also allowing me to take a step back and breathe also. It feels so refreshing after a season of hustle and bustle to now enjoy a season of rest. There are so many fun decorating ideas in todays post, and if you are struggling with your homes decor, make sure you click on my post at the bottom Knowing Where to Start with your Home.
