home remodel update

Our guest bathroom is at a bit of a standstill while we're waiting for plumbing and fixtures to be installed. We've tiled the floor, and will start tiling the shower as soon as plumbing is completed.  I have very high hopes that it will all be completed next week, so check back soon for updates!

While we are waiting I've set my sights on Charlie's "man cave". I've finally decided on our wall color (Benjamin Moore - Gondola Ride), and we've purchased the lounge chair - I've wanted this chair for years, so I'm way excited for its arrival. It's funny that when I started designing this room I was trying to make it extra masculine, but I haven't been able to convince Charlie on anything in here except for the chair!
I'm debating on whether to do a daybed, sofa bed, or just a regular sofa in this room. We'd like to use it as an additional guest room, so right now I'm leaning towards this sofa bed from sofa.com. Flooring will hopefully be going in some time next week, and after that I'll be able to get to work painting and putting together this space!

forest green + a new "man cave"

I've been brainstorming ideas for Charlie's "man room" and I keep finding myself drawn to deep, forest green walls. This color is totally different than what I normally gravitate towards, but I'm up for the challenge. Last week I shared where I'm incorporating this color into the upholstery of a project I'm working on, and I'm totally ready to try it in my own home!

Choosing the right color for the walls is going to be difficult, because this green can go wrong so quickly. I've been looking at Shamrock and Evergreens by Sherwin-Willams and Chopped Chive and Painted Turtle from Behr. These are all totally different from each other, and the furniture we decide on is what is going to help make the final decision. I'm almost 100% sold on this sofa for the room.

There will definitely be some Eames Lounge Chair action, along with a wall of his guitars, lots of wood, and major pops of gold.

I also found this fab photography on Society 6 (my new obsession) to add with our other Marfa prints.

I can. not. wait. to see how it turns out. Who knew I'd get so excited for a man room!





on my rader: neutral interiors

We all know I love a good pop of color, but right now I'm being drawn to simple, neutral interiors. Here are some of my favorites:

As soon as I think I'm finished decorating my home I always seem to find a new style to love and want to start over completely with my decor. For the sake of my marriage, I won't be doing anything drastic :) I still love color, but I'm dying to design someone's home in this color scheme!
