via MyDomaine.com – The modern farmhouse décor style has seen a resurgence in recent years. Visions of loungey and lofty spaces with pitched roofs, reclaimed beams, deep cozy sofas, and small antique pieces are enough to make each of us want to buy a cabin in the woods and retreat from city life forever.

Maybe it’s the Nancy Meyers movie frenzy that has given us a permanent craving for perfectly accessorized neutral spaces with loads of dimmed lighting and chunky knitted throws. Maybe it’s simply that in the hectic world we live in, we need a space to escape (metaphorically, at least).

But how do you achieve that perfectly curated modern farmhouse look at home? Where do you start to feel like you’re coming home to a Nancy Meyers movie set every night? To give you a kick-start, we handpicked our favorite textural neutral décor accents to help you achieve the modern farmhouse décor look. Get ready to start sipping tea on weekends while lounging in your camel cashmere pajamas. This is exactly how to get the modern farmhouse look. Continue reading >>

Summer Tablescape Ideas

Leave a comment

summer-tablescape-2-copyWelcome to the summer edition of 10 Minute Decorating!  Today we’ll all be sharing some simple outdoor decorating ideas that reflect that more relaxed summer vibe that I love.  You can find all of the beautiful projects from my blogging friends at the end of this post.  They’re all quick, easy, and add that pretty summer touch!  But first, some simple summer tablescape ideas from me!

Summer is my absolute FAVORITE season of the year!  I look forward to it all year.  The weather, the more laid back schedules, the fresh fruits and veggies, evenings on the backyard patio – I love it all! {well… except the mosquitos!}.  We also love BBQing and having our meals outdoors.  Our patio is east facing so I can get some morning sun while having my breakfast and enjoy the cooler shade once the later afternoon hits. Continue reading at .cleanandscentsible.com >>>

When it comes to her own spaces, she’s all about a seasonal refresh with of-the-moment decorative accessories and unexpected finishes.

shot-03-hero-080r-15221769371. Refresh Your Room’s Energy

Pale blues and serene greens can really change the mood of a space. No need to break out the paintbrush or buy a new sofa to get those peaceful, chill Spring vibes. Instead, focus on layering colored accents into your existing decor—adding a blue frame or candle on a living room console, placing a porcelain glass vase full of fresh flowers artfully on a mantel, and showcasing crystal topped containers can all enhance your room’s positive energy.
