And now for a few details in the living room - on the mantle we still have the collection of frames, but we've also added a few fun pieces like this flower stamp that was a present from our friend, Bekah.
We've also started collecting wine corks (we're writing the year on them) in the gorgeous Arhaus bottle (also a great find by Bekah!) at the base of the fireplace. We haven't gotten very far, but I'm sure it won't take too long to fill :o)
We've purchased some fun new lamps from Hobby Lobby. . .
. . . and some vintage produce crate fronts from a local garage sale. I sometimes drive past the house where we found them, hoping they'll have another sale - I want more :o)
On the shelf above the TV we have the other three paintings from the little shop in Charlotte and my adorable little Arhaus bird vases!!
Also on the shelf, I have my stack of Tara Guérard books (love her!), as well as our wedding album, wedding guest book and cross purchased on our honeymoon in Belize. . . oh, and the adorable little heart from Paloma's Nest. This might be one of my favorite nooks in the house - I love having all these personal touches, it really makes our house a home!
I also bought some new Pottery Barn pillows - on sale, of course :o)
The downstairs bathroom is my least favorite place in the house - it is really the only room that we haven't done anything to and it just really isn't my style, nor do I feel that it goes with the rest of the house. So it will certainly be getting a refresher soon, hopefully this winter :o) What was convenient though - we had a bathroom that was purple in our last house so I didn't have to buy a ton of new décor!
I do love, love, love this frame I have hanging in the bathroom though - a picture of my mom and I when I was little at one of her softball games and another of the two of us at my high school graduation party :o)
The room thankfully does have good bones with the '50s style arches into the shower and sink alcove. . . I just really hate the tile border and the wall treatment below it. The dream: white bead board :o) I hung the sheer floral curtain with raffia instead of hooks - a cheap and easy DIY - and I also layered the sheer curtain with a purple liner.
A few of my storage solutions in the downstairs bath. . .
. . . up tomorrow - the Dining Room, Kitchen and Breezeway!
