Turning a forgotten corner into a masterpiece

May 15, 2024 · In: Interior Design

What was I thinking? It’s the first space that I see daily when I leave our bedroom and yet it was EMPTY! It literally sat empty for over 7 years!!!! That’s almost 100 in designer years!!! Once I got over the shock, I knew it was time to breathe life into this neglected hallway.

Though just a few feet long, this hallway serves as a vital connection between our bedroom and living room. Its visibility from the living room, appearing in countless photos and videos, demanded something special.

I started by filling the left wall with art from Desenio. Opting for repeating art created a cohesive look, turning a collection of smaller frames into a larger, impactful piece. Then, I introduced two large framed pieces, first from Desenio and then now from Amazon, instantly falling in love with their presence in the space.

To add depth without cluttering the area, I strategically placed a pedestal in the corner. Greenery injected a touch of vitality into the space, breathing freshness into this small space. And to tie it all together, one of my decorative spheres—a recurring motif throughout our home—found its place in the hallway.

What was once a neglected passageway is now a vibrant, inviting space that adds character to our home. It’s amazing what a little attention and creativity can achieve!

What area of you home needs a little attention?

Comment FALL to get the links! 👏🏽 🍁 

Guys! Fall is here and I’m enjoying this year more than any before!! The leaves are just starting to change and even as I watch one little lonely leaf falling, the excitement and anticipation of the fall spectacle of leaves is making me jump up and down! 

I know! So silly but it’s just so beautiful, isn’t it?! I love the warmth, the coziness, the soup bubbling on the stove, the warm candlelight flickering in the evening light, the pumpkin cakes baking in the oven, the long cozy nights spent cuddling on the couch under the fur blankets (and laughing as someone sticks their cold toes on the other’s leg! Ewww hahaha) 

I’m 1000% here for it and I’m soaking up every single second!!!

I hope you are enjoying the season as well! 

Sending a big hug and a kiss for each cheek! XxV

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV
