Creating your Dream Closet with Arhaus
Have you ever thought about what your dream closet would look like? I mean really thought about what it would be at the core before all the beautiful clothes and shoes have arrived? I know it sounds crazy to think about a dream closet with out the dream wardrobe, so when Arhaus reached out to me and asked me this same question it got my design juices buzzing.
A dream closet is so much more than a place to get ready in the morning. It is every woman ultimate escape from reality, into a world thats truly our own. Where we are surrounded by beauty and style. Every closet needs more than just clothes. In my dream closet I would be surrounded by beautiful lighting. I have a personal obsession with chandeliers so naturally that would be my go to for illuminating the perfect light in my space. Pendant lights are another great option when selecting lighting to add a touch of glamour. Arhaus currently has a great collection of pendant lighting that would look glamorous in any room!
Next I would need that perfect place to sit and kick off my shoes (Louboutins of course). Here is where I am a little torn, do I do bold and fabulous or soft and femme for seating? Either way I would need an accent bench for my little people to gather around while Mommy gets ready. Is it just me or is it way more fun picking out an outfit when you have a two year old picking out accessories for you? I linked some of my favorite seating options on my Pinterest here.
Now its time for storage. Oh my storage makes me happy in some strange sort of way. I would obviously have to have custom floor to ceiling built ins just for shoes. The back of the shelves would have some fantastic wallpaper or venetian mirrors to reflect light. Because whats a dream closet without tons of natural light? My clothing racks would be color coded because Im OCD like that. Tops on top, skirts then pants... you get the picture. Then I would have to have an accent piece of furniture to store all my diamonds (because this is a dream closet remember?) My accent piece would also have other fun accessories like trays to house my shades and vases for fresh blooms.
Pillow Talk
With all these chilly days, my body has officially entered hibernation mode. I have been eyeing up some new throw pillows to give my living room a whole new look for all of those couch naps I plan on taking. These are my top picks to snuggle up in style. My favorite tip I have when it comes to coordinating throw pillows is to coordinate a solid, a geometric and a organic. That way your patterns compliment each other rather compete! Be sure to check out my Pinterest board for more pillow picks. Thanks for reading!
Trend Watch Wednesday: Cement Tiles
Now that I am back into my blogging grove I wanted to introduce a new mini series called Trend Watch Wednesday. I'm always watching trends in the home and fashion and now I have a spot where I can share all of my latest obsessions. Right now I'm obsessing pretty hard over cement tiles. On the floor, on the fireplace or as a backsplash. I can not get enough of these beauties. I have a few samples picked out already for my new mudroom space. Which by the way did you know Wayfair sends free samples? Like 12'x12' Cement Tile Shop samples for zero dollars! You can never have enough samples when your in design school. Anyway, here is a round up of my favorite spaces with this latest design trend. I think I would tire quickly of a whole wall in a vibrant pattern but on the floors the look is a but more subtle as a base. I hope you enjoy these drool worthy spaces as much as I do!
Easter Style at Home
Easter is such a beautiful holiday in so many ways. This year we wanted to do something extra fun with our little people to help remind them of why we celebrate Easter. Gorgeous florals, personalized eggs, and a touch of the beloved bunny come together to make this Easter one to remember. We’re celebrating Jesus, the risen King and the beautiful spring that makes all things around us new!
Etsy Style
I'm having a major art moment lately. Like as in all of my walls are way too blank and I need to add artwork to them immediately. The girlier the better. Since I am still in the hand me down phase of life, dropping two grand on one stunning piece just isn't in the picture. Thank god for Etsy. These pieces have stolen my heart and I will not stop obsessing until they are mine. All mine. Be sure to check out these artist shops this weekend!
