Inspiration Gallery Link Party 58

Hope all of you are having a great week! I spontaneously decided to makeover our downstairs bathroom this week so I have been busy trying to finish that up so we have a working bathroom again :) It’s funny how a new faucet can result in an entire overhaul. Once you start you just can’t stop, right?!

Anyway, now it’s party time!

Here’s what’s been happening with Lucy and I this week…

    I just pinned your Harvest sign last night. Which led me to other signs you had done. Love them. Thanks for hosting.

    Well now I’m super intrigued. I can’t wait to see what you have done. Since we moved here so quickly we are still renting so renovations are not happening however I do know that moving one piece of furniture can result in us changing around multiple rooms in one weekend. :) So I think it’s totally normal that changing your faucet ended up changing the whole room.

    Have a great weekend Taryn!

Solving this design dilemma! This large light swit Solving this design dilemma! This large light switch in the middle of the wall has been tricky to decorate around, so I decided to decorate with it, incorporating it into the gallery wall. 

All the prints are purchased from Etsy!  Most frames are from Target.

It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
