Spring Home Tour!

Hi Everyone! I decided to do a mini spring home tour & show you a few different areas that got a Spring makeover. I don't like to create too many crazy set ups around my house. For one who feels like cleaning it & two I have to be mindful of kids, like lighting candles in certain areas & too many breakables within reach. Not that my kids touch things, but accidents do happen and who wants shattered glass everywhere or to get hurt!  So when decorating my own home and others, I am always mindful of kids and animals :) I usually just like to add small touches of the holiday or season. When I think of Spring, I immediately think of flowers, green grass, bright colors & warmth! I always decorate in color! I am just too much a color lover to stay neutral. I do however get tired of it and like simpler things too. That's why I stick to neutral big purchases like furniture. As much as I'd love a turquoise chair, I know I would be over it relatively quickly! So here are a few areas around my house! Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear from you! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog & have a great day!!

Living/Dining Room Transformation!

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing an incredible room makeover on a $300 budget! My client contacted me saying she wanted a new, fresh & clean appearance in these rooms. She felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin. After meeting with Gina, we discussed what she wanted in the rooms, special pictures & other personal affects & what could go. She also stated the rooms lacked accessories and she had no idea what exactly she wanted or how to style it. (Please note: homeowners are responsible for painting & any other repairs to the room before my services begin) 

We decided to make two gallery walls with special pictures she had picked out prior to my arrival. I styled two completely different walls for her with all of her pictures so everything is on 2 walls instead of scattered throughout the rooms. I wanted to give her a more updated, stylish way to display her family pictures and gallery walls are a perfect way to do this. I updated a few things in the room like a new lamp, ottomans (which double as storage), pillows, artwork, a clock & added lots of turquoise & silver accessories per her request. My main goal was to work with what Gina already had as well. She had a lot of cute signs & different items that I was able to repurpose and give a new life to! So let's take a look at the before and afters!!

Glam Chic with some rustic touches Living Room.

Hi friends! Today I am sharing my early spring living room. When it comes to a certain style, I would say I'm a little of everything! I love modern mixed with vintage pieces, a little rustic, glam, & always color! I change my colors up quite a bit especially during the holidays. I am a lover of pinks, purples & I LOVE gold! The best thing I have learned is to keep lots of neutral pieces mixed in with seasonal or color. I once had a bright red living room & I'm too much of a frequent changer of accessories to commit to a color on the wall, so with some persuasion, I got my husband on board & we painted our living room a nice, calming gray color. Since we painted end of last summer, I love that I can add in different colors & have more freedom! I always think its important to love the spaces you live in & I love to switch out my decor with very versatile pieces, like throw pillows, blankets maybe a colorful vase & flowers.

I never spend a lot of money on these items. I find the best home decor pieces at places like Target, Homegoods, Marshalls, TJ Maxx & IKEA.  They are extremely affordable and it allows me to change things more frequently for a whole new look. I also thrift a lot of things too. You'd be surprised what people get rid of! One man's trash is another ones treasures for sure! I actually found many pieces in this room at Goodwill! The end table & coffee table ( which is getting a makeover) as soon as its warm enough outside to spray paint. They were both thrifted pieces that I rehabbed. I wanted a glass top or mirror coffee table forever but its just not in the budget to spend on a coffee table. With two growing kids to clothe & feed, I always search the clearance sections, scratch & dent bins & Goodwill when I can for pieces. Helpful hint: IKEA has a clearance section that I have found some amazing pieces. Its all their showroom display pieces that they discount after they aren't using! Some items are damaged but I have found things like duvet covers, blankets, pillows & organizers for more then half off!

So here are a few pictures of my living room! Thank you for taking the time to read! Any questions please email me at modernchicinteriors @gmail.com
Have a great day!
