  • A 600 sq. ft. California Cabin Retreat

    A 600 sq. ft. California Cabin Retreat

    Stocked with finds from budget go-to’s like west elm and ikea, this rustic retreat was made beautiful on a modest budget. Even the cabin (it’s a rental) was found on craigslist!

    The cabin was built in the 1970’s, but they’ve managed to make the wool paneling look fresh.

    The chairs are by West Elm.  I have been scouring Craigslist for a similar table – I love it!

     

     

    LOVE the chevron poufs – they add a punch of mod to the space.

    I could read on this couch all afternoon.

    Any retreat needs a well stocked bar. I am a coffee girl above a cocktail girl…so I might have a fancy coffee bar instead.

    Maybe even a dedicated space for the little ones to play!
    We have to admit, including them in our fun makes it a blast for all. 
    How fun! This would be great for spending quality time with my baby girl! Mom and daughter date without leaving the house!:

    Even if it’s something as simple as a pile of pillows. 
    There are plenty of great ways to keep them entertained and you happy!

    Show Your Decor: Lisa D’Amato’s Modern Nursery

    Lisa just had her baby Daxel, and about 3 months ago Vanessa De Varges was hired to decorate her baby’s nursery. Her and her husband live in a castle located in the Hollywood Hills – doesn’t sound to shabby…
    For the room Vanessa chose four basic colors red, gray, black and white – perfect for a little boys room! She wanted the room to have a modern feeling to it with out all the cutie baby stuff. This way the room can be used for years to come with out having to move things out or replace the look. She chose art that was more modern and vintage circus prints that they blew up and framed for the room. 
    The walls are all black (its got a slight purple tone to it so its not too harsh on the eyes) and the ceiling and upper walls are painted bright white. Because she chose so many bright colors in the room and accents in white, including the rug, the room doesn’t appear to look small, if anything her decorating tricks make the room feel bigger and more spacious. 
    All the furniture, bedding and storage came from Land of Nod, the paint from Valspar and the flooring from Lumber Liquidators. The window treatments came from The ReRack Gals and the lighting came from Ikea (they did not donate), fabric from Premier Prints and most of the artwork came from different designers on Etsy were all sponsored for the Lisa’s baby’s room.

  • Need a little extra wardrobe space?

    Need a little extra wardrobe space?

    I saw this in issue 3 of Lonny Mag and I really thought it was a cool idea. We could all use a little extra closet space – but what I really like about this is that it shows you how to create a little extra space for your accessories. I know I would love a closet specifically dedicated to shoes, handbags, and jewelry.

    The wardrobe they use in this demonstration is called PAX from Ikea.

    So nice!


    I like the idea of adding a mirror to turn the wardrobe into a little vanity.

    Go Lonny Mag, Archive, Issue 3 to see the project in the magazine.
