Warm + Simple Home Tour :: House of Valentina
I have been feeling myself inching towards complete and absolute exhaustion, but the overwhelming simplicity and warmth of this beautiful home in Sweden gave me just the boost I needed.  It’s soothing design is like getting an instant shot of comfort in the veins and as soon as I saw it I felt so inspired!  I am so encouraged to realize all over again that you don’t have to own a million things to have a beautiful home, and living with less can actually feel quite liberating!

This home is about finding the balance between simple materials such as linen and clay and blending them with organic shapes, such as the modern round table and the curved cement vase.  A bit of earthiness and edginess keep it from feeling either too mundane or too tense.  The cotton stems are a compelling and ingenius addition as well!  Take a peek and see what you think…

___________________________________________

Here are some great pieces to help you live with less without sacrificing style::

Use a bar cart in the living room to hold plants and magazines.

This earthy vase will add the perfect amount of warmth and texture to any room in your home!

 A sofa slipcovered in linen is life heaven on earth.  Don’t forget the pillows!

Use modern lamps to add a bit of edginess to your designs.

Don’t forget to bring organic shapes into every room, especially the kitchen!

Invest in quality and timeless pieces to make every purchase count, but not everything has to break the bank!

Guys! I genuinely believe that creating a beautiful and magical space doesn’t have to break the bank! A few key budget friendly purchases and styling hacks can completely transform a space! From Amazon to Target to flea markets and Wayfair, we brought together a space that our son, Parker, will love! Don’t forget that clipping greenery from your own bushes and diy’ing your own art are just a couple ways you can create for free! XxV

Comment SPRING for all the links!

This Spring I decided to do something crazy…..I made BIG changes! It wasn’t about a color, it was about a life! I wanted to LIVE, to bake, to entertain, to laugh, to garden. So I brought in blue, bought new plants, started baking and it has been AMAZING!!!! It’s like floating in a beautiful fantasy world!

You are only going to get one life so why not live it with every drop of your heart, mind, body, and soul…. And a touch of blue!
