Serena and Lily Bedroom Inspiration
0

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

Fall Home Decor
1

Fall is officially in the air here in New York and we couldn’t be more excited — this time of year is always my favorite! Since we’ve been hunkered down at home these past few months, it makes me want to cozy up even more this fall! In general I like to keep our fall home decor palette pretty neutral – lot’s of whites, natural textures and candles.

A few fall home decor items I have on my radar include —

Sabre flatware — dying to invest in a new set this fall.

My love for Juliska continues — I just picked up some more of there berry and thread dinnerware & coffee mugs.

McGee and Co always has a beautiful selection of pillows and throws that would compliment just about any fall decor palette. P.s. have you seen their new collection for Target?! Definitely worth a look or a visit to your local Target.

Simon Pearce hurricanes are also on my fall wish list. We’re hoping to maybe make a trip up to Vermont this fall and visit the flagship location! I love how Amanda from Fashionable Hostess styled them here.

Last but not least, if you’re in the decorating mood pop on over to The Avenue, Fete Home and JSH Home Essentials to take a peek at their various collections!! So good.

5 Tips For Decorating A Beach House
0

If there’s one thing I’m learning from staying at home in our New York City apartment during this pandemic, it’s that I would LOVE to jet off to a beach house!! Since that’s not in the cards for us, I dreamt up a little beach house decor in case you may be decorating your very own beach house.

A few of my favorite rules to follow —

1..A beach house should always incorporate stripes.

My girlfriend Allisonhas this rolling arm couch from Serena and Lilyin her house in California and I absolutely love how fresh it looks in her home! The best thing about incorporating stripes within your decor? The contrast helps hide stains or marks. Luckily Serena and Lily’s surf stripe is a performance fabric so you can have faith that it will last for a long time.

I also am a huge fan of layering stripe rugs all throughout the house — Annie Selkehas the best indoor/outdoor cotton stripe rugs that hold up really well. We have Annie’s Rugby Stripe Denim rugour dinning room!

2. Natural fiber rugsin every room of the house.

Whether your house is located on the beach or not, natural fiber rugs are great for high trafficked ares including living rooms, kitchens, entry ways and so forth. In addition to Serena and Lily’s natural fiber rugs, Pottery Barnhas a great selection at more affordable prices.

3. A beach house should always incorporate layers upon layers of white.

From white linen drapes to chairs, lamps& cocktail tables— incorporating white accents throughout every room will help achieve that easy & relaxed beach house atmosphere. Also, it’s ok to use different shades of white — it will help prevent the room from feeling too sterile.

4. Texture — Rattan, Wicker, Bamboo, Woven Shades, etc.

Adding texture such as rattan, wicker or bamboo to your beach house will instantly infuse coastal character. I love how this rattan Cape Coffee Tablelooks against the striped sofa and this Celerie Kemble natural floor lampis just adorable.

5. Natural wood elements

Bringing the outdoors in with natural wood elements will also help achieve that refined yet comfortable beach house decor. How pretty is this Harvest Dinning Tablefrom Williams Sonoma?

Anyways, that’s it for now! Take a peek at my “Get The Look” tab on the top left for similar decorating blog posts! Happy decorating. Xo. Lauren

2019 Gift Guide Series: For The Grandmillennial
0

So I’ve been loooooving all of the chatter on Instagram around grandmillennial style!! If you’re not sure what the term grandmillennial means, take a peek at House Beautiful’s article “The Rise of Grandmillennial Style.” I also loved reading One King’s Lane blog post on the trend — which I completely agree with Clary Bosbyshell and don’t think it’s a trend at all! If you like to decorate with rattan, blue and white, scalloped accents or topiaries, you might just be a granmillennial yourself!

Today I’ve put together some of my favorite pieces from the One Kings Lane feature that would be sure to please any grandmillennial on your list!

I know I’ve blogged about Juliska 100x before but you really can’t go wrong with starting your own collection or gifting Juliska’s Country Estate pieces. I also fell in love with this blue and white compote, this pillow completed with blue and white tassels, and these linen guest towels.

If you’re not sure whether or not you’re a grandmillennial, House Beautiful included their very own quiz at the bottom of this article to help you figure it out! 🙂 #grannychicforever

P.s. If you’re just tuning in, be sure to check out all of my previous gift guides from 2019! I also linked from previous years as well since many of the products are still relevant.
