Pillows For Our New Place

Although we'll only be in this condo for 6 months, I still want to make it feel like home. It's important not to break the bank, since there's no telling what the style of our next place will be like. Our home in Nashville was pretty traditional, I used a lot of red/blue/and white to accent our open living and dining area. We mixed up our furniture a little bit, by using our bonus room furniture as the main pieces in our living room. The brown sectional is modern and fits the space nicely, and we're also using our leaning bookshelves.

In the essence of saving money, I've attempted to use our more modern accessories and decorative accents. I loved the pillows that we had in our bonus room, but the colors are too deep and saturated for our current living space. I've decided to make some on my own (and recover the bar stools which are nearby). We have white walls with dark cabinets and dark hardwood floors, so I'm going to try and stick with a modern, neutral palette-- maybe even adding some pops of metallic. Here's some of my inspiration fabric-- what do you think?

Closet Dreaming

If you follow me on twitter, you already know that our offer was accepted on the house. Friends, Mr. SE and I are going to be homeowners very soon! While the house is in great condition (according to our inspector), there's still some cosmetic changes that we'd like to make. This weekend you might just find us at the local Lowe's. Ps- it's way better than Home Depot. Oddly enough, the previous homeowners took all wire racks out of the closets. Problem? No. Opportunity? Yes!

Here's some closets I'm dreaming of....

Does anybody else get super excited at the chance to re-organize their things? The beginning of a season is a great time to take inventory of what you have, so you know what to shop for. Loves it!
