AFFILIATE LINKS ARE OCCASIONALLY USED ON AK STUDIO. HOWEVER THEY ARE USED TO ENDORSE PRODUCTS THAT I GENUINELY LIKE AND WANT TO SHARE. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.
I like to try and do most of my shopping at the end of the a season because there is such great stuff on sale. Not only summer pieces for next year, but also great basics.
Shopbop added new items to their summer sale and more than half of my saved items were on it. So many goodies.
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
