Miss Flo progress : Guest Bedroom

More Miss Flo updates! BUT. I want to reiterate everything I said in this post. No, this room isn't done. But I am ready to share the progress. Because I am a share-r.

This is our downstairs guest bedroom. Originally, I wanted to use this bed in the upstairs guest bedroom, but the box spring wouldn't fit up the stairs. So here we are.

The light in this room is fabulous. And it has the most adorable nook that overlooks the front yard.

I searched HIGH AND LOW for vintage nightstands for this room. However, this bed is not vintage. And it is quite tall. Sooooo finding nightstands that were tall enough were an issue. Eventually, I just got these side tables that will function as nightstands. Tomorrow, they are being painted a really rich gorgeous emerald green.

Really loving how this room is coming together! Next up: vintage brass table for between the chairs, accessories, mirror for the nook, maybe a rug.... the list goes on :)

Sources: curtain fabric, wall color, bedding-1, 2, 3, nightstands, lamps- can't find them! but similar here, chairs.

Miss Flo progress : Formal Living Room

As I've said in the past couple of posts, feeling like I'm ready to share the progress at our new house has been tough. Before putting any space out there, most decorators want things to be picture perfect and 100% finished. And I definitely don't blame them for that. But I know how much I enjoy seeing spaces evolve, so with that in mind, I'm sharing where we are currently at with our formal living room.

So, we've been in the house for about 3 weeks and have been making lots of progress! You can see my original design plan for the space and the 'before' pics here. Overall, I've stayed pretty true to what I had planned.

The art above the fireplace changed from doggie silhouettes to the lyrics of 'our song'. It was a request from the Hubs, and I am really glad he had an opinion on what went up there because I LOVE this. Funny story about the half-filled fireplace.... still working on that :)

The coffee table was a lucky find at a St. Louis vintage shop.

The art--- essentially, I wrote out the lyrics on a regular piece of paper, took it to Kinko's and had it printed out as an 'architect print' and cut it to the dimensions I needed. Seriously turned out so cool.We (it was a team effort for sure!) used this method to hang it.

Overall, I am really pleased with how things are progressing. It's definitely a mix of formal and casual. Ex: tufted banquettes on a cowhide-- a great juxtaposition. Still on the 'to-do' list: better wood to fill the fireplace, pillows for the banquettes, a great plant by the windows, accessories and eventually will switch out the curtains.

If you want any sourcing info, please let me know. Would be more than happy to share. Let me hear your thoughts- love getting feedback!

snapshots of our progress pt. 2

I know just sharing Insta photos is a total cop-out of a blog post. BUT I just keep telling myself that I don't want to take real pictures yet until things are a little bit more 'done.' However, I know things will never be done.... so..... rock and a hard place.

Nevertheless. Here is some more progress:

I don't know if I ever mentioned that I found some AMAZING bamboo chairs on CraigsList. The ones from this post to be exact. They are going to be our new dining chairs and this is the direction we are heading. I loooove this fabric and am so glad the Hubs agreed to it. Now I just need to give them a fresh coat of white because the paint on them now is super worn out. Easier said than done, right?

Dais absolutely loves all the windows in her new house. It makes my heart happy :)

We finally got our new bed and bedding and are so happy with both. Next up, the upholstered headboard project I talked about here. Also, you might notice that I went with red lamps instead of the white ones I was planning on. Sooooo happy with that choice. They are perfection.

I found an amaze vintage rug on eBay and it is a perfect addition in our kitchen.

There has def. been other progress made (switching fixtures, painting, hanging art, etc) but this is all that has been captured so far.

Thanks for following along!

some snapshots of our progress

We are officially 'moved'! The movers unloaded our truck on Saturday and since then we have been swimming in boxes. We've had so many wonderful people in our lives help us in some way with this move... So because of that we have been able to get a little bit done already and I wanted to share our progress here!

What is not pictured is the chaos that is happening elsewhere :) Literally, I think there are 4,285 things left I still have on our 'to-do' list. But so far, we are loving it! Love our house, love our neighborhood, love having friends and family close by!

Oh, and Dais loves it too, especially her yard :) Hope you all are having a great week!
