Clean + Neutral Living Room Shelf Styling + Decor Refresh

I got to use all of my favorite shelf styling basics on this client’s living room shelves refresh last week! We added tons of visual interest to these entertainment center shelves with layers and stacking. I like to start with placing the larger objects and books that I can stack smaller trinkets + frames on or around. Once I have these balanced, I add depth by layering frames and other decor items in front of one another.

Clean + Cozy Basement Makeover

Clean + Cozy Basement Makeover

One of my favorite installs of 2020 was this cozy, light, and cozy basement makeover! This client had recently renovated their basement and basically just had a couch when I first showed up! We were able to pull the space together completely through a combination of e-design and in-person services, as well as decorating club! There are a few different areas of the basement- a seating area, kitchen/bar area, and an entry/landing area at the bottom of the stairs. There’s also a guest bedroom down here that we coordinated with the same look- check that out here!

Fall Home Tour 2020: Cozy Neutral Boho Living Room

The next space up on my fall home tour is my living room! I have added a few updates to this space recently to make it even more cozy for fall- a new rug, new lamps, and some new pillows/throws (all linked below)! This is definitely my most overall neutral space in the house but I love how cozy and clean it feels and I especially like to mix in lots of different textures to this space (knits, tassels, fringe, faux fur, etc.).

Coffee Table Styling LIVE

Last week I went LIVE for the first time on my Instagram to share a quick and easy coffee table styling video! I also took some decorating questions from those following too. It was so much fun and I will definitely be doing it again soon. What other tutorials would you like to see? You can find the full replay of the live video below and most everything I used is available for purchase at Paxton Home (shop online here).

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Neutral White Christmas Living Room

The next space I’m sharing on my holiday home tour is the center of our home, the living room! This is always one of my favorite areas to decorate and the first space I tackle every year. I love mixing the neutrals and pale pastels in here and lots of textures in the pillows, stockings, tree skirt, and garlands! Especially for your living room, I recommend choosing Christmas decor that will coordinate with your existing decor/colorscheme. It may not end up being traditional Christmas colors, but it will be unique and make the entire space flow seamlessly!

Fall Home Tour 2019: Cozy Modern Farmhouse Living Room

I’m excited to share the first room on this year’s fall home tour, my living room! This year I kept my overall neutral palette with pops of pale pastel and gold throughout. I also restyled my coffee table with some new pieces and overall simplified the shelf decor too. I always love how cozy the addition of fall decor makes a living space feel!

Holiday Home Tour 2018: Living Room

’m kicking off this year’s holiday home tour with my favorite room of the house, my living room. Last year I started going with more neutrals and all-white for this space during the holidays and this year I continued with that theme. I also added in some more blush and pale pastels which I love. I usually do a real tree in here, but decided a flocked tree would fit even better with the overall colorscheme so I got this one from Wayfair (find more of my favorite flocked trees here). It is beautiful and great quality and a perfect size for this space. I also added a few new touches from Anthropologie like my faux fur tree skirt and mauve pom pom garland (shopping links below).
