Decorating Update

We moved into our new house with a lot to do and have accomplished quite a bit of it in terms of construction, but we still have so much decorating on our list. So today, I thought I’d share where we’re at. We’re moving slowly, and making investments in bigger items and letting the little ones follow with time.
A living room that is really inspiring me. I love the neutrals with a huge upholstered leopard ottoman and abstract art.

  • Sconces for the stairwells (on their way to us, just need to be installed)
  • Console for the entry (need something 10″ deep, any ideas?)
  • Wallpaper for the entry
  • Pendant for entry
  • Carpet runner for stairs
  • New sofa (get delivered on the 19th!!!!)
  • New coffee table (needs to be massive, should be interesting)
  • Recover chairs
  • Art for the family room (this has been our biggest challenge, we need something MASSIVE, and my husband is really opinionated about art, as am I) 
  • New pillows (the last thing we’ll do)
  • New rug (this is at the bottom of the list as well since we like our current one, it just isn’t big enough)
  • Dining chairs
  • Dining chandelier
  • Window treatments in family room/dining/kitchen
  • Kitchen stools
  • Kitchen runner
When I look at this list it overwhelms me a bit. Being a designer, I want this all done in one swoop, but it just isn’t realistic for us. So I will keep knocking away at this list and sharing updates with you guys along the way

Weekend Recap

This weekend went way too fast. I can’t believe its August. Summer really flies by.
Friday night I had a much needed girls night. We had big plans to go out for dinner and have drinks beforehand at a friends’ new place, but the second we got there we talk off our heels and decided to order in pizza instead.

Sunday I went to Lollapaloza. Although this music festival has been right outside by door my whole life, I’ve never gone. I don’t love concerts, crowds or excessive heat. But this year, a couple bands I genuinely like were playing and the temperature was perfect. So we braved the crowd and actually had a lot of fun! 

My beautiful city on the most perfect day.

And I got to see this pretty lady

Hope you guys had a fabulous weekend! xo
