House Tour: Music Room

Hello & happy Monday darlings, 

A little while back I wrote an post on my living room inspiration and included a whole lot of pretty photos that inspired the way I decorated my own living room (SEE HERE), which in our house is actually used as a music room.  Anyhow, I thought it was about time that I actually show you how my room turned out now that it is about 95% finished.  Sure, there are definitely things I still want to do in it...like mount holders for my ukelele and violin on the wall, add more vintage pictures to my wall collages, and replace my couches with pretty tufted ones (my current ones are hand-me-downs from my grandfather), but all in good time.  

It's been about two years since we moved into this house and little by little, I am fixing up the rooms to my own liking.  This is the first to be almost complete.  Yes, when you purchase a house, renovating and decorating can be a very long and ongoing process.  Nonetheless, I am enjoying this room to the fullest now that it has my own personal touch on it - (it had dingy sage colored walls when we moved in) and using every day to play my instruments and write music.  

What does your living room look like?  If you ever posted it, please do include your link below.  I would love to see. :-)

Until next time! 
Love Bunches,

Home Inspiration: Living Rooms

Hello again!

As I move forth with my little ol corner of the internet here, I really want to start sharing more of myself, my passions, my loves with you all besides for just what I am just wearing on my back.  Because let's face it, there's more to life than just clothes.  Anyhow, as you may or may not know, the Mr. and I moved to this sweet little mountainside town in PA almost two years ago to the date and with that we purchased our first home.  With a new home comes lots of new ideas of how to decorate and I really adore doing just that.  I will fully admit that HGTV is on in the background of my house nearly 24/7!

As I mentioned in my last post, we recently painted our living room and I can gladly say that it is the first room in our house that is ALMOST complete.  Can you believe it has taken this long?  We've been redoing each room little by little over the past two years but never got close to having anything complete...until now!  I think many homeowners out there are in the same boat.  

Enough rambling, the photos above were some of the inspirations I used for my living/music room.  I'm a sucker for lots of color and for mixing vintage and modern pieces to create a bit of an eclectic look. Once the last light fixture goes up in our own living room, I will be sharing the actual space on here with you all...I actually can't wait!  So until then, I wish you one merry happy weekend my darlings!

Love Bunches, 

Benches and Birdcages

Today I went antiquing.  I can't even begin to tell you how much I love doing this.  It's kind of like a new found love.  Getting lost amongst treasures from a different time and place is so relaxing to me...so much that I couldn't be bothered with snapping photos inside this darling and quite ginormous shop.  It was nice to just slow down for a bit and enjoy the experience.   Anyhow, I managed to walk away with a couple of relics that I will be quite pleased to give a new home.  Both the bench and the birdcage were each $14.00.  Score!

The Finds:

Speaking of things that are as old as dirt: this dress!  Well, that's a tad dramatic, but you know what I mean.  I'm pretty sure I haven't worn it since this post from way back in the day and it was old even then.  As I was organizing my little heart out, getting ready for my move (which hopefully happens at the beginning of next month) I found it in an uncharted pile deep in the corner of my closet.  Hooray for making old things new again.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend!

Love,
