Statement Sofa

Some of the spaces that I have been most inspired by lately have been full of white walls and brightly colored sofas. White walls can be kind of boring, but really it helps anchor anything you want to do to the room over time. And a sofa that makes a color statement is so fun and surprising. 

I have a bright navy sofa in my basement that I love so so much. There are so many great options out there now as home decorators are taking more risks to lovely rewards. 

1. I was floored when I saw this green number at Ikea. It is magic. $999

 2. Not quite pink, not quite red, this is such a beautiful shape and color. Deepa Gurnani $1998

3. This hot pink love seat would be fun in an entry or bedroom. Pottery Barn Teen $799

4. I love modern sofas mixed into traditional design. This yellow one would be fantastic. Hayneedle $919

5. Somehow this sofa has a clean modern feel, while also being feminine. This soft mint is so great. West Elm $899

6. A velvet chesterfield is kind of a dream of mine. Rowan Reed $2495

Decorating the Nursery...

Though it seems like a long way off that this baby girl will be here, in decorating terms it really is not that much time. I have already been obsessing over ideas and have come up with two concepts. Since it is fun to share and hear your feedback, it was time to post them and see what you think. I could change my mind any second on what I want this room to look like, but these two ideas are what is sticking in my head right now. Each room has one room of wallpaper, which I am super excited to try out in the house. 

A more modern nursery, with girlie touches....

dresser, wallpaper, floral monogram prints, crib, bedding, glider, rug, pouf

And then a more traditional super-girlie room in pinks and mint...

dresser, wallpaper, crib, bedding, glider, table, pouf, Degas print, rug

Any thoughts? The items themselves are not the final products I would probably use, but a good starting point. I would love to know which you liked better or if you have any suggestions.

Minty Fresh Decorating

When it comes to paint, colors beyond neutrals can be hard to implement in a room for us decorating novices. While most of my accent wall painting has involved dark charcoals these days, I have been gravitating towards images of fresh and soothing mint. Whether soft or bold, I love the way the color brightens up a room. 

I found a lot of this inspiration on Pinterest. To follow my pins click here, and I would love to follow yours.
