My Living Room Refresh

Spring is officially here and the arrival of a new season has never felt more symbolic or welcoming. Since the start of the pandemic, almost exactly a year ago, I must have I rearranged the furniture in our living room umpteen times - mostly out of pure boredom but also out of the desperate need for change. And now, I can confidently say I love this room just the way it is, thanks to my partnership with Pottery Barn and some amazing pieces from their Spring collection. I updated the sofa situation and added two Big Sur slipcovered sofas, which are perfectly deep and insanely comfortable. I personally love the wide square arms, a perfect perch for a book and a cocktail. I'm also obsessed with our first ever coffee table since the kids were just tiny babies! We had gotten rid of ours to give them more room to crawl and now that they're older, I can't tell you how excited I am to have reintroduced a table back into the room. I appreciate the simplicity of the Malcom table, which is just big enough for board games and stacks of my favorite books. The oh-so-soft Nicolette hand-knotted wool rug ties the entire room together with its light blue and beige hues. And of course, I couldn't resist adding in textures by way of pillows and rustic Pottery Barn decor items, all in neutral tones. The overall vibe certainly reflect my current outlook: at peace, happy and hopeful. I'm in love . . .

    This refresh is beautiful & calming. Your ideas along with Pottery Barn’s blend seamlessly. If I could store my bicycles in a way that’s more pleasing, I’ll be happy. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

    This room is incredibly and so inspiring! I saw your photo shared on Pottery Barn’s page and am looking for a VERY similar vibe. I’m not an experienced decorate so I basically just find photos of what I like and try to find the same things for my space haha.

    Do you have any details on this rug? I love it but the struggle is real finding a 12×15 or 10×14 rug around $1,500 or less. If you have any suggestions I’ve love to hear back! thank you!

    soooo i saved this room refresh and I was particularly in love with this stone tray. i went back and forth your page and Pottery Barn page, it took me a month to say yes to this purchase ( plus shipping to Russia almost half the cost) and I cannot wait for this insanely beautiful thing to land on my coffe table! Thank you for the inspiration!

    Love the geometric rug pattern and leather planter cover. a hanging fluorescent bulb over the table would be another great compliment.
