Let’s talk art! I knew I wanted a good mix in this space. Oversized mirror, oversized light, oversized iron bowl on the table!!!… It’s beautiful! Huge with the most amazing texture. How about the show stopping Arhaus Hollis pendant? Its shape is just so cool…Īgain, it’s always about scale for me. THE MOST MAGICAL piece in this room is the Arhaus Amelie mirror! Are you kidding me with the scale of this thing? It’s STUNNING! And looks so great across from the window. The finish is perfection with just the right amount of rusticity! I’m also utterly obsessed with the Arhaus Francis dining table. It speaks to the organic shape of the pendant above. The lines of the Pelle Side Chair from Arhaus deserve attention. Here’s a photo of the chairs switched around… I just love looking into the room and seeing the plaid throws on them! Find the plaid blankets HERE But they’re a bit of a tight squeeze on the ends, so I moved them to the long ends of the table and they just look SO GOOD there too! I’m hoping to get two more when they come back in stock and keep them there for good. I initially picked out these fabulous and oh-so-comfortable captain chairs (from Arhaus). You may have noticed that I moved chairs around a bit for different photos. And this new dining room feels simple, confident, beautiful, and right. And why I love color- be it bold or toned down. “I’m colorful! Pay attention to me! I’ve been raising babies and I’m craving pats on the back and approval!” But I was loudly proclaiming my independence which I think is completely representative of all the bold colors I was using. Once all of my kids were done being babies I tried so hard to make up for lost “me” time by diving head first into this gig, focusing WAY too much on my wants and needs which makes no sense because your kids don’t stop needing you just because they’re no longer babies! If anything, they need you more. I’ve reached an honest, happy place in motherhood (and in being a wife) where my family comes first and it feels so good. And my heart has majorly softened after watching a kid graduate and head off to college. And what feels amazing is that my family loves it too. This room is the truest representation of my current self, and I love it. Not to get all deep, but it’s not always about the space. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I personally think the after IS better□, but that’s because I like me better than I did six years ago.□… Sometimes you can just change it because you simply want a change. I’m not the same person I was when I initially designed this space six years ago, so why shouldn’t my home reflect that evolution? You don’t have to change a room because it’s bad. “different.” It’s not that the “after” is better, it’s that it’s DIFFERENT. For starters, let’s talk about “before” vs. Before… After… Before… After… Before… After… Before… After… Before… After… Before… After… Painted the dresser to match the trim! See that tutorial HERE.

Be sure to read down below to hear why I wanted to change this space, but my favorite way to do reveals is to show a before shot, followed by the same exact angle in an after shot, continuing with all sides of the room, and then a write up explaining everything at the bottom.
