Bonus Room Makeover Week 4

Alright friends! I skipped last week’s updates because I really didn’t have any. I always feel like when it comes to the ORC, I end up doing 75% of the projects in the last two weeks and it’s looking like that right now! All of the DIY projects I have planned for this space are all on hold as I wait for product to come in. Everything that has come in so far are more finishing/styling items. So, not much progress has happened on the actual space itself.

So instead of showing you our completely bare bonus room, let’s look at all the furniture styled in our living room! ha!

Organic Modern Furniture!

Check out this neutral living room filled with a Organic Modern Furniture and tons of texture! Love the cognac sectional and natural look.

Ok, but let’s see the updates that I DO have for this space! Almost all of the furniture from Overstock has come in for the bonus room, I’m just waiting on a few accessories but otherwise the big items are here! Huge thanks to them for partnering with me on this space! Since our downstairs is still bare, we are styling them down here and actually using them until they are ready to move upstairs.

Cognac Leather Sectional

The latest item that came in is this gorgeous Pimlico Top Grain Leather Sectional with Chaise from Overstock. I am in LOVE with it! When it comes to ordering furniture online, you always take the risk of the color being different in pictures or the quality is less than expected, but this sofa exceeded my expectations.

I’m still playing around with styling, but I threw some things together to be able to show you the pieces today! I shared these Nikki Chu Aaltos Black/ Ivory Geometric Square Pouf , the Willow Beige Tufted Mid-century Modern Chairs and the Hatteras Drum Reclaimed Woodblock Barrel Coffee Table In my last update, but they are looking so good all together!

I have still done close no nothing in the actual bonus room. Ok, I put up the new Wall Sconces , but that’s it! However, I am confident that I will have a lot more updates for you next week!

Can I tell you something else? I am so thankful all of this furniture arrived while our actual living room is almost empty because it is helping me make final decisions on what I want to put in here! I have been struggling with the spacial layout and after having all of the bonus room furniture down here, I have actually changed my mind a bit! It’s all working out!

And this sweet pup is loving our new rug! He has been laying on it non stop :)

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
