Build A Room: New Modern Eclectic Living Room

I don’t know about you but after the holiday decorations get packed up, I quickly realize that I need (read: want) new furniture. I’m on the hunt for a new sofa, specifically, and in typical designer fashion, there are too many styles which I love.

You may also be as challenged as I am to blend different design styles and in need of a little inspiration. So, I decided to explore a few of my favorites along with other dream pieces to determine which direction I can take my living room (& yours!). Hope this gets your journey started! Feel free to visit me at Stash Home to make your dream a reality (or to vote on my sofa choice!).

Note: these are in no particular order…

Option #1 – Casual Modern Glamour

Option #2 – Warm Eclectic Glamour

Option #3 – Warm Rustic Modern

Option #4 – Casual Modern Rustic

Happy Decorating!

Fall 2014 – inspired tablescapes

Ahh, the magic of fall dinner parties. The food, candles and dinner conversation all seem more intimate as the sun sets earlier in the evening. I am a bit obsessed with setting the table and this fall, teal has found it’s way into my heart. It’s such a great color to pair with typical autumn browns & oranges and pairs perfectly with gold touches and reclaimed woods. From modern to rustic, here are a few of my favorite tablescapes to make your evenings inspired! Happy Designing & Happy Entertaining!

Summer 2014 – Sun-drenched Oasis

They say all trends come from the coasts…

After living in San Diego (which is basically a tiny oasis on the fringe of a vast desert), I came to have a great appreciation for succulents known as “ground cover” for lawns and highways alike. From my perspective, as a midwesterner and someone who longed for green grass, it was a hint of home and “bloomed” all year long. Up close, I realized how strong & uniquely beautiful these plants actually are. So now, 7 years after moving back to Missouri, I’ve noticed that succulents are having quite the renaissance.

And it’s not just succulents, it’s the entire sun-drenched California vibe. In every catalog and magazine, modern outdoor furniture is adopting a fresh, light-colored hue. Think of the height of summer where the sun feels like it is bleaching everything in sight.

OUT: black wrought-iron/dark aluminum
IN: natural teak/weathered wood/neutral woven/brass

This is refreshing as it parallels our recent devotion to outdoor living and also spurs a new style for homeowners updating their spaces. See below for inspiration for your home in subtle hues!

For the love of design

February is the month to celebrate love so I thought I would celebrate my love of design. Pieces that are well designed serve a function while being aesthetically beautiful. They evoke a feeling in us and represent a part of our soul. Sometimes you can’t explain why you love something, you just know you do. A little like the people we love, too. So, here are a few things that have captured my heart this month…

love_ring — Red Envelope – Sugar Bean Love Ring

cameo-wine-glass-1 — Crate & Barrel – Cameo Glassware

img78o copy — Pottery Barn – Hailey Mirror

img31o — West Elm – Tiered Tower Bookcase

avery-table-lamp — Crate & Barrel – Avery Table Lamp

Choose things for your home carefully & it will come alive with your energy!

Happy Designing!
