As we slowly finish decorating our home, there are a handful of items I currently have my eye on. Spending so much time in our home during a pandemic has made me loopy, rearranging furniture, and wanting to completely finish each room until they’re perfect and I’m truly proud. Instead, I buy items as I fall in love with them, rather than going room by room where I can close a door and say, ok, this room is officially done. I figure, eventually, after I slowly purchase items, as I fall in love with them, every room will be complete, in time.
Our formal living room is the first room you see as you enter our home. It has transitioned from mostly playroom to mostly quiet, living space, with a few hidden toys for Wesleigh. The bulk of the furniture in this space has traveled with us from apartment to apartment, city to city but we still need a console, art and rug to really ground and round out the room. I love anything with geometric patterns and have been coveting this console.
Our home office has gotten a lot more action the past six months and lighting in that room is an issue. Although we have a nice big window, there is no recessed lights, so a task light is a must. I fell in love with this table lamp from the new Kara Mann collection at CB2 that I plan on incorporating into the design.
Wesleigh’s room is mostly complete, eventually I’d like to layer a rug under her current Madeline Weinrib flat weave, but until then, what we really need in her room is a bookshelf or etagere to store and display items. I’ve always loved this rattan wrapped shelf from Serena and Lily.
Wesleigh’s Bathroom is one of my favorite rooms in our home thanks to the gorgeous Mokum La Palma print wallpaper. With the exception of a few final touches, this space is actually the most complete in the house. I just need to hang a photo, throw in appropriate wastebasket and accessories and can officially close the door on this room.
Our master bedroom is also slowly coming along, at this point, we need some art and window treatments but I’d first like an area rug. There’s nothing like stepping out of bed with bare feet onto a soft and cozy surface. This braided rug from Rugs USA looks like a chunky knit sweater and it’s made of wool and cotton so it will hold up to any wear and tear from Wesleigh and Tucker running around.
