Serena and Lily recently launched their new outdoor furniture collection for spring/summer 2021 and I’m here for it!! Insert blue and white gingham everything — from the cutest outdoor beach umbrella and chair to a matching Serena and Lily gingham cooler. You could seriously up your beach game this summer with this new collection!
Sharing a few of my favorite pieces from their new outdoor furniture collection as well as old favorites below. Happy Spring! Xo. Lauren
We slowly have been making apartment updates throughout the pandemic. Like so many others, staying at home 99% of the time makes you realize everything you could change or switch out! We finally hung art that I was dragging my feet on, switched out lighting in our entry way and living room and most recently, bought a few new pieces of furniture for our bedroom!
Our bedroom will be the biggest transformation post-pandemic. It operates as my office and I definitely needed to make some changes if our working from home situation was going to continue. I can’t wait to share photos with you guys!
Anywho, we were waiting to make the final big purchase which is a new king bed from Serena and Lily. They are currently running their bedroom sale event so it was the perfect time to finally take the plunge! I love so many of their bed frame styles. Our front runners were the Pondicherry — I also love the version with nailheads. I am obsessed with their new Franklin bed but Josh didn’t love the four poster and I was worried the scale wouldn’t work in our NYC apartment. I will definitely keep this in mind for our future house!
We ultimately went with the Fulton Tufted Bed in the perennials white performance fabric!! I debated going with a color like their sky or fog swatch options but know the white is classic and will be easier to style in future rooms and houses to come.
One quick tip too is that Serena and Lily does provide quick ship options in select bed frame styles & stocked fabric. The Fulton Tufted could be quick shipped in the chalk fabric. We seriously debated this option after visiting the Westport location the other weekend as they had a few different pieces of furniture on the floor in chalk! I love that the chalk is more textured and appears that it could hide stains more easily. It also appears more white in person compared to the swatch which is darker. Both the chair and bed below seen here are in chalk!
We also purchased new sheets & bedding! We went with the Bel Air Duvet Cover which we currently have and love – it’s light and keeps us cool. For sheets, we went with the classic ring sheet in French blue. And last but not least, we needed a new king duvet insert and went with the Primaloft duvet — I have never tried this brand before but will report back!
You can shop so many beautiful pieces from Serena and Lily’s latest arrivals and this four poster bed might be my top pick.
I’m currently in the midst of working on our bedroom redesign at the moment now that we’ve resigned our lease and investing in a king bed is at the top of the list! It’s definitely taken me way too long to decide on what we should do for the bed. I’ve wanted to go custom for quite some time but the fabric alone adds up!! By the time you purchase the fabric, order the bed and pay for white glove shipping you’re easily looking at $3,000 and up. As a result, I’m looking at a few different custom options from Serena and Lily and think this could be a great solution for us as fabric is included in the price. In addition to the four poster bed in the design below, a few of my favorite styles include this white cane bed, the Pondicherry bed, and the tall Franklin bed.
Outside of a new king bed, I recently picked up new white table lamps from Circa Lighting and invested in a new white dresser from North Carolina furniture maker, Rile & Stile. They don’t have a website but you can take a peek at their instagram right here. Last but not least, a piece of art form Mary Maguire is also at the top of my list!!
Are you working on any home projects at the moment? Would love to hear about them! Xx. Lauren
