It's all in the details!

I thought I'd share some of the small details that I've updated around the house that make it feel more like our home! It's the details that really make a house for me (For Mike, it may be the demolition...)


#1: White Trim - we (finally) painted the trim white in all the bedrooms, making it feel more crisp and clean. It makes any space newer

 

 

 

#2: Wall art - I started collecting pieces of wall art in our last house. To Mike's despair, I just can't have enough. They're all so different and all so beautiful. Here's a couple shots of the wall art from our house. I'm a firm believer that art (as for everything else in your house) should mean something to you.

(Letting my inner artist out!)
 

(I have a thing for maps. And what you can't see are the tiny icons that represent each state)

 

(Art can take the place of a headboard)

 

#3: Trinkets - I have no better for them, but I love trinkets. The little things around your house that don't necessarily have a function besides being awesomely cute/cool/pretty/funky. The adjective for your space and find a trinket!

We were able to snag this buffet table from Mike's grandparents (who are so ridiculously generous) for our entryway. I already had the plant from Marshall's that I bought for our last house. Same with the candle sticks but I bought blue candles for a pop of color. The long bowl and wicker-like balls are also from Marshall's (a trinket-lovers paradise). I'm in love with the simplicity.

#4: Lighting - the lighting you choose for your house also makes a huge difference. We're currently on a hunt to replace the light above our kitchen sink, but in the mean time I can share the new lighting we have in the four seasons room. We replaced this ugly old fan with a new, crisp fan. Makes a world of a difference!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed looking at the little details around my house. I seem to add more and more everyday. It may be an addiction. Up next on our plate is our master bathroom demolition (Mike's favorite), so stay tuned!
