Last Christmas, we were in Target, and I overheard an older couple looking at some plaid Christmas sheets saying, “These would be perfect in the guest room!” I cry-laughed later to Chris telling him the story because Christmas sheets?! For the guest room!? Are we ever going to get to a point where I have nothing left to buy but Christmas sheets for the guest room!? Since moving here, we have been so focused on the big things and big purchases–floors, fence, an area rug that actually fits, lighting, baseboards (for crying out loud!!) that  spending money on the little things, something as simple as a throw blanket or new candles makes me feel guilty when there are so many large purchases. Do you ever feel that way? #Firstworldproblems.
Forever and a day ago, I posted about 8 things I’d love to add to your living room. That was over two years ago! The point was, and is, that sometimes you just need some key accessories–or accessories at all–to totally change the vibe of a space. Truthfully, we need to accessorize the living room bad style. I haven’t purchased new pillows for our couches for years. Literally, years. Last night, I told Chris that our house is lacking in the comfort-factor. I think it is due to that lack of lamps and good lighting in general, but also textures. Accessories! So, I’ve compiled a few Fall MVP accessories that I’m dying to add to our living room, and maybe yours, too.
Brass Lamp / Wool Blanket (a steal!) / Camel Knitted Pillow / Gray Knitted Pillow / Rope Basket / Tissue box (be still my heart) / Brass Planter / Metal Hoop Stand / Bison Print! / Pumpkin Chai Candle
I’m making a new goal to add some little things to our home this season (don’t worry, the baseboards are coming too!) to help the home-y factor. Are accessories a priority in your spaces, or do you struggle like me?
Ps. There are 9 more Fall-ish accessories I gathered for my Houzz article this month right here. You’ll love ’em.
We have the little house tissue box and love it. It currently sits in the bathroom but it’s cute enough to move around the apartment when someone has the sniffles ;) so in love with your style, and now I’m on the hunt for a set of those little brass planters!
Do you still do client moodboards? I haven’t seen any in a long time.
Only on a very limited basis. Feel free to email me if you’re interested.
We have a surprising amount of bison art in our home (on accident, I guess?), but now I need this one! THANKS. Ha!
Also, totally know what you mean. Sometimes a splurge on a nice candle can make all the difference.
I ordered this one in the middle of the night while I was feeding Faye and I didn’t even remember until the morning when I got the email confirmation. I think my tired brain has the best ideas. ;)
Too funny! I just caved and bought that brass light at Target last night. It’s gorgeous and surprisingly heavy! I love the blanket and pillows too.
I bought the tissue box from Urban Outfitters and it’s pretty cute! I’m so tempted to draw on it though…I’m all accessories and no furniture! Need to turn that around. The pieces you picked all up the cozy factor and are seasonally inspired but not necessarily seasonal decor. Good choices!
