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!

A little about me & sharing my Dining Room area.

     Hi, wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jen, I have been married for 10 years to my best friend, my biggest supporter! We live in an average American home with our two beautiful children. Here we create memories & embrace all the imperfections. I just recently started my own home decorating business, Modern Chic Interiors.  I don't have a fancy home at all, no crystal chandeliers, formal living spaces, catherdreal ceilings, master baths, I don't even have a dishwasher for that matter! I know, sounds crazy right! So why did I start a home decorating business & this blog? Simple! I have a passion for home decor & making any house or space you live in beautiful! My goal is to show you that you don't need to spend a lot of money to create beautiful spaces or to live in a huge house. I'm all about making what I have work, while it may not be much to some, it's called home to me. This is where I spend my time with my family & making the best memories possible with them. My main focus for my business is decorating on a budget & to focus on what you already have to make any house a home! I will be sharing DIY projects here, the best places to buy home decor, & I offer affordable services in the South Jersey area to help you create the space you love!!
As my first blog entry, I decided to share my dining area with you. Now, this area is our main eating area. No breakfast nooks or islands here. Just sitting around a table with the family & sharing stories about our day. My kitchen table is far from perfect. It has nicks & scratches from my kids, but instead of covering it up, I decided to embrace it because it's not about being perfect, it's about creating a fun & enjoyable place for your family. So here are some pics of my dining area. It's an ever changing area! And no, I do not keep my table like this.
