Modern Bohemian Living Room & Dining Room Reveal

When decorating, I really wanted my space to feel bright and happy yet cozy and comfortable. Every time someone walks into this space, they say it feels “calm” and to me, that is the biggest compliment! I am really drawn to modern bohemian styles with some mid-century modern pieces. I absolutely love using patterns (give me a printed Moroccan rug, and I’m a happy girl), different textures, and earthy colors (with some pastels, too!). I always find myself trying to create a very laid-back, natural vibe by including elements like jute, rattan, and cane, while keeping it modern with velvet and marble accents. I love how boho decor allows you to do your own thing and just have fun with it!

If you can’t tell, I’m currently obsessed with marble, light oak wood, gold accents, loads of plants, fun textures, and pastel colors: aka my modern bohemian dream.

One thing I knew was a priority for me when looking into furniture was a big comfy couch. I’ve always been a fan of couches that look like you can just dive right into them for a movie night, so this sectional from Raymour & Flanigan sold me right away! I ended up choosing a really neutral light color which I am honestly so happy about since it makes everything feel really bright and airy.

I’ve also never had a couch with a chaise lounge, so that was also on my priority list! Let me tell you when I say that I end up taking naps on the chaise more than I would like to admit lol. If you’re between a couch with a chaise or without, I would definitely recommend the chaise if you have the space. I really love how this is a couch that everyone can sit on and have more than enough room to stretch out and get comfy!

While I knew I wanted to keep the big pieces (couch, chair, etc) fairly neutral and light, I added pops of color in with the rug, and an accent pink chair. I think it adds just the right amount of pastel tones without being overbearing. I know home trends right now are totally neutral, but if color makes you happy, I say go for it! I love my peachy accent tones, I feel like they make the space look happy.

How to Take Better Instagram Photos

While the most beautiful blogs and Instagram feeds tend to seem effortless, the truth is, they are FAR FROM IT. Shooting and curating photos can take a *lot* of time and effort, and are often way more thought out & intentional than they seem from the outside. While this may be true, since we live in a digital world where photos are often the first thing we see, learning to take and create good photos is totally worth the time. A photo is truly worth a thousand words and it’s been proven time and time again that on visual platforms like blogs and social media sites (Instagram, Pinterest, etc), having good photos is half the battle and can really help to set you apart from the crowd.

Traveling to New Jersey, Fall Farms, and The Weekly Meals!

The fireplace is on, the Christmas tree is lit, the sun is starting to rise, and it’s all foggy outside this morning. I love summer, but nothing beats these cozy mornings. I do need to get off this couch and get my son up and ready for school, but it’s hard to rip off this fuzzy throw blanket and start my day. I am a morning person, but the kind who likes to sit on the couch and work—not the kind who wants to get up off the couch and work.I have a lot to tackle around the house this week. We’re hosting Thanksgiving, so I’ll be busy getting everything ready for dinner, preparing for guests to stay, and, of course, blogging some new Thanksgiving recipes. My goal is to post a new recipe every day this week—if I can manage to stay awake past 8 PM! I made some really delicious recipes over the weekend, and cannot wait to share them with you all. But for now, I needed to get the latest recap blog posted; otherwise, it would run into Thanksgiving and end up longer than book three of the ACOTAR series.
