Raise your hand if your decor changes about as often as your underwear!!!
OKAY maybe not THAT often but for reals I feel like I want to add, change, replace or throw out half of my decor at least every 6 months.
Besides the fact that when this special time comes around Jeff usually wants to divorce me…
…it also starts to become very expensive!!
I mean…ain’t nobody got money for that…am I right!?!
I’ve recently decided that doing all this decor changing is absolutely ridiculous and I need to find some staple pieces that can stay strong during my ‘changeofdecor’ rants!
Which leads me to the topic that I really want to talk about today…adding some MODERN pieces to your traditional decor!
Modern pieces have a way of being TIMELESS and can last through pretty much all my random new decor choices!!
Let me give you some examples.
My house is filled with tall, wide walls that literally give me an amazing canvas of goodness that would be really amazing to fill if I had all the money in the world…but last time I checked…I don’t have that kind of money at all.
So instead of trying to find a cheap solution I decided to find a few great, high quality staple pieces that I knew would be around for a while!
HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF HOW MY DECOR USED TO LOOK LIKE…
Notice those amazing curtains!
From DRAWSTRING STUDIO
I have loved them since I got them but it was time for some new curtains!!!
So I went to her website and picked out a perfect pair of curtains that add a subtle modern touch and lighten up the room!!
Don’t you love!?!
I am obsessed with the subtle cream and brown strips!
They add so much light and bring the perfect modern touch to my home.
Choosing the right curtains can really set the tone for bringing your decor together!
On my bookcase I mixed some bold pieces with some traditional pieces I already had.
Throw some old books in the mix and you just might be considered vintage too!!
Most of my pieces I thrifted or got from IKEA.
In my entryway, I cleaned up the wall by taking down the vinyl and added some color with my fun moss sign I made with my sister in laws months ago!
The wall is great but what makes this entryway is the BOMB glass lamp and @ sign I found at TJ MAXX.
Burlap and glass together…it’s like modern and vintage chic married and had a baby!
YEP, I just said that.
The new clock screams MODERN, and it is a custom made piece by YOURS TRULY…so naturally that makes it even more timeless!
As for the dining room…that just happens to be open to the family room that looks out to the entry way…
{yeah, my house is an open floor plan, and it’s AWESOME!}
just throw some fake ginormous flowers in some large, awesome IKEA glass bottles…and a subtle modern touch is created!
Now that I’ve shown you all my new touches of modern…
let’s go back to the main reason for this post!!
