Decor Daydreams // Living Room Corner

July 28, 2015

Decor-for-living-room-corner

Styling a home can often be overwhelming, intimidating, and simply confusing as to what to place and where.  It is also thrilling, a creative outlet, and a way to turn a house into a home.  There are times when I have come to a stopping point because I can’t decide what to place in an empty corner, how to use extra space on a wall, or I have too many options to make a final decision.  To motivate myself and to hopefully give you inspiration, I am excited to share with you a new column on WTG called “Decor Daydreams”.

empty-living-room-cornerI will be taking an image from my home {like the one above} and inserting images of furniture and decor I find online that I feel would be perfect for the space.  It will give me motivation to start decorating, styling, and enjoying the newly designed part of our home.  At the very least it will leave me daydreaming about the decor and give you inspiration and a theme to finish or re-decorate a part of your home.  Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

I am now wondering how I have left this space empty for so long.  Take a look below on how I would like to style this unique space in our living room.

Styled-Living-Room-Corner1.  I love the clean design of this mid-century inspired chair by West Elm and the character it would bring to the space! It looks so comfy yet stylish all at the same time.  It will also provide more seating in our living room which you can’t have too much of.

2. There isn’t much that we could place in this corner due to the dimensions, but this console table that I found on Joss and Main would fit perfectly!   By placing a table here we will also be able to use it for additional lighting and storage.

3. Gah! I love a great lamp!  If you read my About section, you will also know that I am a sucker for gold.  This Pottery Barn golden lamp will offer a soft light in this corner for evenings spent reading or enjoying company.  The honeycomb facets also match the design of my dining room wall!

4. What a great accent piece for a table top!   This modern geometric piece that you can find at World Market helps tie in the gold throughout the room and offers eye-appealing decor for the corner of the living room.

5. I know I’m not the only fan, but if you haven’t heard of Magnolia Market you are missing out!  It is a shop that is linked to the show “Fixer Upper” on HGTV. Joanna’s farmhouse inspired home decor will have you coming back daily.  I would love to have the regal leaf bunch for my home that you see pictured above!

6. I can’t get enough of mirrors.  They brighten and expand a space while providing home decor.  To help tie in the wood of the console table, this wooden circular mirror found on Wayfair adds dimension to the space.

|| I hope you enjoyed seeing how I would style this corner in my home just as much as I loved creating it!  I would love to see what you would do in a space like this!  Send me your ideas!  You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!

Let’s keep in touch!

The garden is cleaned up, prepped, and ready for t The garden is cleaned up, prepped, and ready for the summer crop. What started as a single garden box has transformed to this garden space over the past few years. Favorite thing about it: being tucked away in this cozy corner with the winding paths throughout it. One thing I would do differently: using pea gravel instead of the granite rocks we went with. These rocks hurt! Pea gravel is smooth enough to comfortably walk barefoot on.
The grass is in! Saying BUH BYE to the dirt around The grass is in! Saying BUH BYE to the dirt around the pool for the first time since December when we broke ground. We spent the past few weeks installing irrigation throughout our backyard and around the pool. Yesterday we finally had the sod delivered and within a few hours it got us one step closer to finishing our backyard oasis. We still have a long ways to go, but my goodness does it feel good to see this part done! And we can finally check off the final inspection for the pool build.
What does it cost to fill a 16,000 gallon pool wit What does it cost to fill a 16,000 gallon pool with a garden hose? Our total came to $229! Does this total surprise you? This of course can greatly vary depending on where you live and your situation. For us, we live in Florida and on county water. We only pay water fees and not sewage. The water company did not give us a discount. We filled the pool right at the start of our billing month so this is it! Have you filled up a pool before? I’d love for you to share your cost, pool size, and location if you feel comfortable doing so!
We have a 16,000 gallon pool and filled it up with We have a 16,000 gallon pool and filled it up with a single water hose. And we for sure had some questions! Answering them here:

• Why not use a water truck? We weren’t in a rush, it was the best way to end this project watching it fill up, and it would have been more expensive. 

• Why not use our local fire station? Our local fire department doesn’t do this and it isn’t very common that most do. We wouldn’t ask if they did. 

• Did our water company give us a discount? Nope. Most water companies will take off the sewage fee but we only pay for water and not sewage where we live. We did notify them so they wouldn’t turn our water off thinking it was a leak. 

• What is that on the end of your hose? We added a filter on the hose to help reduce iron, scale, any other heavy metals and containments to help give our pool a fresh start. 

• How long did it take? 51 hours 

I’ll be sharing the cost soon so make sure to add your guess in the comments!
Pizza nights are back! And one thing we’re addin Pizza nights are back! And one thing we’re adding since our screen enclosure is gone, are these Bitefighter LED String Lights by @tikibrandproducts . You’ve seen us use them in our playset area and now for our patio area. They give us the ambiance we need at night while helping to fight off the mosquitoes as a 2 in 1 solution. There’s no odor, no mess, and they will last all season long. Cheers to the summer nights ahead! #ad #TIKIbrand
Protecting outdoor furniture for the summer!

It’s time to give your outdoor furniture the best start for summer and to help it last long term. Here are some things you can do to protect your outdoor furniture as we enter the summer season:

1. If you have wood furniture, it’s time to seal it! I use Thompson’s Waterseal on all my outdoor wood furniture except for teak. This protects it from moisture, sunshine, and mold/mildew.

2. Easiest way to help keep cushions clean is by spot cleaning throughout the season. I use 30 Seconds Outdoor Cleaner for quick, fresh looking cushions. 

3. To really protect cushions, Shield H2O provides a water repellent treatment that repels moisture and spills, which in return helps prevent mold and mildew. 

4. Have teak furniture? Use a teak SEALER and not an oil. Teak oil is a short term solution and easily washes out with rain. Time to seal it to last long term! 

I have everything I used in my Amazon storefront under outdoor.
We were told 16 weeks for our pool install but it We were told 16 weeks for our pool install but it ended up taking exactly 12 weeks. Broke ground on December 16th and started filling it with water on March 16th. I’m sharing all the pool details over on my blog. Including the answer to the number one question: How much did this cost? Covering how we picked a pool builder, the construction process, the materials we went with and why, what we splurged on and where we saved, and so much more. Save it for future reference! It’s a good one!
We have an outdoor dining space again! It’s some We have an outdoor dining space again! It’s something we have missed the most these past few months while under construction with the pool. I’m such a visual person so being able to walk into @homesense_us and see exactly what we could use to create our outdoor dining space was amazing. There was so much to choose from at a great price point and something for every style. I’m noticing more Homesense Stores opening around the US so check to see if there is one near you! #HomesensePartner #DiscoverHomesense

Here are a few tips for creating an outdoor dining space:

1. Choose a table that fits the space with at least 4 feet around each side. 
2. Plenty of seating. Extra seats if you have the space.
3. Add an option for shade.
4. Select a style + decor that suits you 
5. Use outdoor furniture that’s easy to maintain. 
6. Enjoy your new outdoor space!
Are we lounging poolside or beach side? It’s har Are we lounging poolside or beach side? It’s hard to tell without our sod installed yet but regardless, loving this new addition to the pool area. Just need to find some cute side tables and this part of the pool area is done. Should I go with teak or black ones?  I’ve linked everything on my LTK through the link in my profile!
