A Living Room to Talk About

The dark teal walls,  mid century modern chair and animal print rug make this one bold room! I am determined to have an animal print rug in my next home. Looking to add some edge into your home with an animal print rug? I have been sourcing animal print rugs so here are a few places online where you can an animal print rug yourself.

Barn Wood Headboard

I am always looking for creative approaches to the home and furniture. This can allow you to save money and also have fun and create a style that is uniquely yours. One of the most expensive things in your bedroom can easily be your bed. I love seeing the new trend where people are creating their own headboards. Headboards can be pricey ranging from $800 to upwards of multiple thousands of dollars. If you are looking to create a rustic feel in your bedroom consider using barn wood as a headboard. 

Want to personalize it even more (and add a pop of color) write a fun saying on it.

Benjamin Moore Dragon Breath

This color is a complete contrast from last week. Benjamin Moore Dragon Breath is a dark grey with brown undertones.

This color couples well with gold, teal and blues.

Benjamin Moore White Down

As I have mentioned here, I love the color white. People may think white is boring but I think the right color white can leave a lasting impression. I stumbled upon Benjamin Moore White Down and I think it might be one of my favorite color whites yet.

White Down has a very subtle mix of grey undertones. Can’t picture it in a room? I went searching for a picture of the room painted this color:
This paint color creates a room that is classic, timeless and elegant. What do you think?

Paint Colors for a Seaside Home

Still lusting over the beach I put together my favorite Benjamin Moore paint colors for a seaside feel in your home. 

From top left to bottom right:

Whether you actually live on the water or just want to create that feeling in your home, paint can always help. The trick is to use light, cool, airy colors. The color white will always work as a contrast to these paint colors or as the wall color. Overall, the rooms should be neutral, any upholstery or patterns in the room should be muted and subtle to create a seaside escape in your home.

A beach retreat

I’m back in Denver but missing the ocean. An often unknown fact is that New Hampshire has about 18 miles of coast! I grew up about 10 minutes away from the coast and there is nothing more peaceful and calming than watching the shore go in and out. 

Looking to bring that beach/ocean theme into the house but don’t want to use the ever popular seaside decor collections of sand dollars, sea shells and sand? 
There are so many other creative alternatives to bring the beach into your home. 
How about beach themed artwork? With a very neutral room, the eye is immediately drawn to the beach artwork. 
Hanging an anchor on the wall. 
Use rope for common everyday tools around the home. 
Like a toilet paper holder. 
Better yet, what about using robe for the stair rails? 
When creating a beach retreat, I like to bring in elements of a beach or lake that make you indirectly think of water. What else would you bring into your dream beach house?
