10 Decor Pieces for Your Home

I ran across this article on twitter from POPSUGAR and the first thing I thought was “oh no!  I hope I have all these things!” given that I’m a smidge over 30 wink- wink.

Take a look. “30-somethings” how do you stack up? If you don’t have all these things… no worries.  It’s a fun list to read through nonetheless.

1.  A Nice Sofa

Nice-Sofa

Sofas come in so many different price ranges.  You can find something stylish and comfy at Value City Furniture.  You don’t have to spend a ton if it’s not in your budget.  It’s more about style.  I would recommend choosing a sofa in a neutral color and then add cute pillows from Home Goods or Etsy.  Home Goods seems to always have a good selection and display their pillows according to color which makes picking out your favorite colors a cinch.  You may also find some unique ones on Etsy too.  Definitely worth a look.

2. Quality Linens

I can’t remember when I paid the full price for a higher quality thread count sheet set? Keep an eye out at Target, Bed Bath & Beyond & once again Home Goods.  I really like white sheets.  Just me?

3. A Timeless Rug

Timeless-Rug

This girl loves a cow hide rug (faux too)!  I have 2 like the one shown in the article.  I was in IKEA over the weekend and they had cowhide rugs on sale for $169.  I was REALLY trying to figure out if I needed another one.

4. Quality Dinnerware

I finally got an all white setting for 8 from Target.  Classic, makes your food look amazing…Boom.

5. A Signature Scent

One of my dearest friends gave me a candle for my birthday last year that I L-O-V-E.  It’s called “flannel” and it’s described as a mix of bergamot, mahogany and a delicate veil of musk. I keep it right by the front door.

6. Something Antique

Something-Antique

 

I have been on a huge antique furniture kick lately!  I’m on my 3rd chair.  They’re all stored at my parents’ house.  Pretty sure I can’t bring anything else there.

7. A Headboard

I actually need a headboard for my guest bed.  Guilty!

8. A Piece of Silver

I have a really cool silver vanity set that my uncle gave me.  I need to get it out and polish it.

9. Meaningful Art

Meaningful-Art

Umm, hello!  Does “Raynee + color” count?!  If you’re looking for some meaningful art I can help you out with that (shameless plug =)

10. Fresh Flowers

My favorite place to get fresh flowers is Trader Joes.  They have the best lilies in my humble opinion and their prices are very reasonable.

Thoughts?!  What would you add?

Hope you’re having an awesome week so far!

Let’s (Tea) Party!

I think I’m in the mood for a tea party! Or maybe a coffee party?  Is that even a thing?  Anywho…

Thanks to my mom for picking this set out for me! She got it from a second hand store. I love it. So fun and “me”.

Custom Girlies!

I had the pleasure of working on a custom order last week!

2 requests…use the color purple throughout all 6 designs (see their make-up!) as well as incorporate each girls’ sorority in some way.

Here’s how they turned out…likey?

Memorial Day Weekend

First of all, Thank you to all that have served and are currently serving in the armed forces! We appreciate you!

My girl Starla and her son Miles came for a visit! We celebrated Starla’s birthday and had a blast exploring downtown Cincy. Here are the pics to prove it. photo  photo-5   photo-3  photo-4  photo-1  photo-6 How cute is this candle Starla gave me as a hostess gift! Totally unnecessary since it was her bday weekend and I was supposed to be spoiling her, but much appreciated none the less 🙂 photo 2 photo 1  

Hope you enjoyed your weekend as well!

Commissioned Piece: BFFs

I had the privilege to paint a commissioned piece for a friend this weekend!  She wanted a special painting to give to a life-long friend that represented them as youngsters with a dream.  One aspiring to make it big in the fashion industry and the other, a doctor.

Diyah

Can’t wait to see what the doc thinks of her gift!

Friday Crush: Crushed Can

My mom talked me into styling with white accessories last year. 

Believe me, it wasn’t difficult! I already had a white owl that I adored, but I can’t say I considered a display of white accessories in my then bookshelf at my condo in Detroit.  It turned out super cute.  Unfortunately, I don’t have pics to show you, but I do have this fun find that I just picked up.  Meet the newest member to my “white accessories” collection! 

CrushedCan

I found this at Target.  They always have cutesy accessories around back to school time.

What you crushin’ on this fine Friday?
