Hello friends both old and new! If you are joining me from 21 Rosemary Lane – Welcome! Barbara’s home was amazing. Her style creates such a fresh, cozy and welcoming home.
Marty at A Stroll Thru Life has done it again and has a team of 30 bloggers ready to show you their homes decked out for summer. If you are new around here, we bought our older home that needed lots of TLC almost two years ago and are fixing it up one room at a time. We FINALLY finished our master bedroom makeover, which I have a preview of on the tour.
Let’s get started. As you walk into our home, the first room you see is our living room. It used to be awful shade of brown, so I added some color with this dreamy blue.
For summer, I switched up some of our accessories adding coral for a beachy vibe. I also swapped out the pillows on our couch for these fun blew animal pattern pillows. They are just beautiful and have tassels on each corner. I found them at Homegoods and they were a steal.
Adjacent to our living room is our formal dining room. For this room, I was feeling a tropical vibe with bright colors for summer.
Next to our kitchen (which I will not have photos of because it needs major renovation) is our breakfast nook. These beautiful pink and blue hydrangeas were perfect for this space.
I also added a combination of roses and peonies to my collection of blue and white jars. I wish peonies were in season all year. They are gone before I blink my eyes.
Up next is a sneak peak at our master bedroom makeover. I am still waiting on some art and accessories, but it is 95% done. You may think I am crazy, but I went with this beautiful pale pink color for the walls.
The bedding is from Ballard Designs and the x-benches are just benches from Target that I upholstered.
I added some tassel trim to basic Ikea curtains to give them some interest
The Chinoserie chandelier was a Craigslist find. It even came with the lampshades!
I am loving these burl wood boxes from CB2. I can think of a hundred ways to use them to style various areas of my home. I had actually never shopped at CB2, but am really impressed with the quality of the boxes, given their reasonable price.
One of my favorite things in the space are these three-arm sconces from Gabby Home. They have gold leaf on the inside of the shades and add a glam touch to the room.
I kept the styling on our dresser rather simple.
I also added some touches to our master bathroom to tie it into the master. First, I finally got rid of my old terrycloth robe and replaced it with this silk beauty. I found it at Marshall’s one day and it is from high end lingerie designer Natori. Definitely shoportunities to be had at Marshalls!
Pink accent towels tie in with the walls of the bedroom.
I found this fun vintage lion towel ring on Ebay. I adore it!
I painted a chipped rattan stool I found at a flea market a glossy black and it totally transformed it. I am glad to have a place to store our extra towels since before I was keeping them on top of the toilet- ICK!
Next up is Jennifer from The Chronicles of Home. You are in for a treat. Jennifer has the balance of modern and traditional down pat and her home is always a breath of fresh air.
