art wall.

I've been thinking of changing up the art that hangs above our mantle.  I'm in the mood for some more neutral pieces.  Maybe a few black and white photos or netural colored paintings.  But then again I always love a little pop of color thrown in there too.  This art wall is definitely calling out to me.

stripes.

I'm constantly on the hunt for fun pillows and throws.  I like to switch up our living room and bedroom accessories every so often and these are an easy and quick way to make a change.  I spotted these cuties this morning and I fell head over heels.

going green.

I'm trying to slowly add more green into our home.  I'm starting off small with a few succulents (something I can hopefully keep alive for more then a month).  But I'm working my way up to one day have a tree, perhaps a fiddle leaf fig tree.  I love their shape!

the office.

I'm helping my husband redesign his office.  It's been a bit of a challenge for me, as I haven't ever really styled or designed a room that is full on masculine.  ha!  We've been workng well together on picking out pieces that are masculine, timeless, traditional, and modern.  My husband and I tend to gravitate towards anything that is ultra modern, but we've also been careful to not go too minimalist in his office.  We are also only buying pieces that we would one day also use in our home.  I don't believe in buying pieces that can't easily be transitioned into another space.  I feel like each piece we are purchasing is an investment.  Not all of the items are super pricey, but they will definitely be sticking around for awhile, so I want them to work in his office or at our home if I feel like changing things up a bit.  So here is the inspiration board we came up with.  We're keeping the palette mostly black and white, adding in wood, leather and metal elements to create some texture.  I'm really excited about this project and can't wait to see if all come together.

home updates.

Our living room has been in need of a little update, and since purchasing this rug, we decided that a new coffee table was a must.  I know I talked about using an ottoman as a coffee table, but after a tireless search we couldn't find anything that we completely loved.  So G and I decided to look around a bit more this weekend and I could not be more thrilled with the coffee table we did find.  We also picked up a little black & white stool that we both ran over to as soon as we spotted it.  Eeeekkkk, the two pieces will be delivered later this week and I am not so patiently awaiting their arrival.  YAY, can't wait til they are here and can share some pics on the blog.  In the meantime, you must check out pics of this home.  Those white frames and black & white stripes are seriously amazing.
