It’s about that time where you’re either finishing your Holiday shopping or just starting! For me, I’m mostly done but still searching for a few perfect items. Some of my favorite gifts to give are ones that make the receiver feel the warm and cozies.
That’s why I’m introducing you to Sunday Citizen, a brand with the coziest bedding and loungewear!
Our boho mid-century modern living room is finally (semi) finished! This space is where we spend most of our time working or watching Netflix. I love how airy and bright the space ended up being!
The first step after we purchased our home was to paint all of the walls white (they were grey). We LOVED the coved ceilings in our 1951 home and luckily they were already white. Our hardwood floors were also newly refinished.
When I started envisioning this space I was planning on far less color and more clean lines. But, I realized I am not good at minimalism haha. This was the last space we finished, so it was fun to play off of our other rooms and add in boho and mid-century modern touches to the living room.
Furnishings and Decor | Boho Mid-century Modern Living Room
The hardest part, honestly, was finding the perfect sectional! That and the mismatched, but coordinating, throw pillows (eek). I did a lot, A LOT, of research for sectionals because 1) they are expensive and an investment 2) I really wanted something comfy but structured.
Stores I found had the best options: Interior Define, West Elm, Article, Joybird. Most of these stores are custom orders, AKA that couch is going to take a while. I ALMOST ordered from Interior Define, but just could not wait 18 weeks!
HOT TIP: I have heard that West Elm fabric PILLS! So only order leather or velvet.
West Elm came through with this coffee table that was 50% off when I snagged it! The style probably isn’t for everyone, but I love the little tray part. The other big design element you see is the rug. It’s a 100% wool rug from RugsUSA (gifted). I am a little worried about how the weaving will hold up over time, but for now, I absolutely love it!
Creating our mid-century hygge bedroom: Hello all! My husband and I purchased our first home in December 2020! The 1951 home is full of natural light, arches, and little touches of character. My first step was to paint everything white! I used Sherwin Willians Alabaster for the walls and it’s perfect. My inspiration for our home came from my love for mid-century furnishings and the hygge lifestyle!
hyg·ge
noun
a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).
Working with the warm white paint color I mixed in creams, ivory, and bright white for a classic feel that still gave interest. Most of our bedding can be found at Target! I love the Hearth and Hand with Magnolia collections so much (like everyone) and they did an amazing job with this solid quilt and linen blend euro pillows! I also found the perfect little lumbar pillow there, Oversize Lumbar Woven Global Pillow – Threshold™
Adding Texture | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
While I LOVE white, I needed to give the space some dimension. Texture is a big contributor when you are using a lot of the same color family. The Waffell Diamond Textured Trellis Tassel Area Rug from @rugsusaand the tassel throw blanket (Home Goods) add to the hygge bedroom vibes!
Adding Color | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
While all the base elements are neutrals, I added pops of color in pieces I can easily change depending on my mood and the season. The painting you see on the wall (TJMaxx, see similar options below) is where I worked from and added in some pink, tan, and green in the plants. I also made sure to pick a mid-century bed frame that was wood for extra warmth.
Adding Accents | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
For the nightstands, I actually found these at Home Goods for $30 each! The decor for them is either thrifted or from Home Goods as well.
It’s the first week of November and my Christmas decor is out to play! I rounded up all of my picks for holiday decor and entertaining from Target and Kirklands.
I will be showing off my own decor soon and CAN’T WAIT! While I did purchase several things this year, a lot of my own decor is older or from Home Good and TJMaxx (which I can’t link).
As a reminder, when you shop via the links I provide here I earn a very minimal commission and I REALLY appreciate every purchase.
Today I am showing you guys how I style my bar cart to double as a coffee bar in our two-bedroomapartment! With our apartment layout, we have a little nook off of the kitchen where I have our bar cart. To be honest, most of the alcohol hasn’t been drunk for years…and it’s mostly used for my coffee bar!
I also have a Keurig K-Cafe machine that uses k-cups and has a milk frother built-in. My thoughts getting this machine was that it would make espresso like the Nespresso machine, but I do not recommend it if that’s also what you are wanting. The espresso is not airy and creamy with the K-Cafe, it’s more just strong coffee. I use it for regular coffee and the milk frother.
My last coffee tool is my Bodum french press, which makes the best coffee ever, but I am too lazy to clean it regularly 🙂
Syrups
Currently, I am using Torani syrups. I like the way their sugar free syrups taste (mostly)! I use these for iced coffees, iced espresso, and hot lattes.
Decor and Mugs
I will link any decor and mugs that I can find! A lot of it is Target, Hobby Lobby, or thrifted. I am using a tiered cupcake/food stand to hold my mugs (you don’t want to know how many MORE mugs I own). Click here for the buffalo check mug!
I switch up my mugs and decor depending on the season/holiday.
