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 :)

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
