Get The Look // Neutral Modern Farmhouse Dining

Remember this modern farmhouse that I posted about last week? The dining room was one of my favorite spaces in the home, so I thought I'd show how to get a similar look:

I love that this dining space is neutral, but there are some unexpected elements that keep it from being boring. Case in point - the fairly traditional upholstered head armchairs, mixed with modern acrylic side chairs creates an interesting dynamic, and I love that the rustic wood table adds some warmth + texture. The nautical black cage pendants are also an unexpected choice that add to the eclectic feel, while also tying in with the black doors + windows. I just love how every element works together... What do you think of this dining space?

 

Happy Wednesday!

Get the Look // Layered + Welcoming Entryway

Greetings, friends! While working on my blog re-design over the last few weeks, I realized it had been a hot minute since I'd posted one of these "get the look" posts... which is just a shame, because they're one of my favorite features to put together!

I love this series because not only is it a great exercise in honing in on the looks + styles that I like, but it also encourages me to figure out how to achieve that style. And obviously, my hope is that it's also helpful for you guys who are reading :)

To explain a bit about how I put these posts together (and how you can do something similar), when I find a room or vignette that I really love, I tend to analyze what exactly about it makes it great. One of the best ways to do this, at least for me, is to break the space down into individual components, and then to figure out which of those components are important for the overall look/vibe. Then it's just a matter of finding the same (or similar) items, and you'll have a blueprint for achieving the same look... Plus, as a bonus, it kind of feels like you're going on a decor treasure hunt! :)

Anyway, moving on to today's featured space. I love this colorful, layered entryway... It's just so happy + welcoming, isn't it?:

I love that most of the items stick to a white, blue, green, and natural wood color palette (which keeps the space cohesive), but the awesome persian rug adds the perfect punch of color + pattern (which keeps it  interesting). Overall, the mix of colors, textures, and finishes makes for such a happy entryway! And a perfect spot to take off your classic hunter rain boots, I might add ;)

 

Happy Wednesday!

Design Breakdown // Awesome Neutral Nursery

In honor of the chevron pillow that I'm giving away this week, I thought I'd post one of my very favorite nurseries (that, coincidentallly, also happens to have a very similar chevron pillow!).

In general, I'm a sucker for nurseries that don't go overboard on the stereotypical baby colors, and that aren't too cutesy, so it makes sense that I would love this one:

Isn't it great?

It's an awesome example of a neutral nursery done right, with some great natural textures and cool details thrown in (that lighting! that crib! that rocking chair!).

But what I really love about it is that even though it's a baby boy's room in real life, it could easily work for a baby girl's room as well, with just a few small changes + additions. Simply switching out the mobile with a cute & colorful one, or adding some pretty, feminine art or a colorful lamp would instantly make this room more girly (but not too girly).

And, since all of the main furniture pieces are neutral, this would be an brilliant nursery plan for parents who are waiting to find out the sex of their baby... You'd be able to do all of the main, heavy lifting stuff in advance, and just add a few fun little details after the baby was born. So fun!
