Product + Inspiration: Hemnes Shoe Cabinet

April 28, 2015

When it comes to furniture functionality and chic diy transformations the Hemnes Shoe Cabinet is probably one of my favorite Ikea hack pieces. The slim size of this piece make it ideal for narrow closets or hallways and the piece can be used for much more than shoe storage.

You can create a compact mud room next to the front door and use the top drawer to hold keys, chargers, batteries and other daily essentials.

Ikea sells several styles of shoe cabinets including this 4 drawer version.

There are a thousand and one ways you can customize the shoe cabinets to give it a unique style.

I love this library look achieved by adding brass label holders with pulls.

via Windgate Lane

A couple of coats of paint and stylish knobs can dramatically change the look of the basic shoe cabinet.

via I Heart Organizing

O’verlays has created a collection of designer overlays to fit the Hemnes cabinets which is another easy way to get a designer look in a flash.

I love the look of two shoe cabinets placed side by side to function as a console cabinet.

Most of the shoe cabinets are available in black-brown and white or a wood grain finish.

The shoe cabinet can also work to hold cold weather accessories, files, cords or lightweight books.

The 3-drawer Brissa shoe cabinet is a great buy at $39.99 and looks great customized with a wood frame and brass cup pulls.

I love these Ikea shoe cabinets so much and have been trying to figure out where I could put one of these in my home.

Here’s a round-up of all the Ikea styles available…

I hope you were inspired.

Product + Inspiration: Vintage Brass Trays

March 31, 2015

I’m loving my new series, Product + Inspiration and I’m really excited to bring you this latest post which marries my love of vintage, brass and trays.

Brass trays are always on my radar whenever I’m antique shopping and in my book they are one of the best values when it comes to vintage decor. Trays in general top the list of practical and versatile accessories and the list of decorating ideas using trays is endless.

My favorite brass tray style is faux bamboo because of the classic details but if that look is not for you, there are lots of other styles you might run across.

Let me inspire you…

I hope you enjoy “shopping” with me and more importantly I hope you’re inspired to decorate your life in style.

Similar chipboard letters here

The foundation of my wrap is a tone-on-tone white striped paper. I wanted the paper to have a little dimension and this fit the bill perfectly. After I wrapped the boxes, I added a few embellishments.

I wrapped the first box with red & white twine and laced the ends through a paper heart with holes punched in the center. I made the heart from decorative scrapbook paper using a template I downloaded here. The plaid heart gives this gift a slightly more masculine feel and I love the pattern mixing that all the elements create.

tip: look in the wedding section of big box stores for beautiful and elegant white wrapping paper.

For the second gift, I wrapped striped ribbon around the center of the box and tied a bow along one edge. Next I decorated the top of the box with large chipboard spelling out XOXO. I painted the letters with red acrylic paint before attaching them to the box with double-sided tape.

I just love how my Valentine’s gift wrap turned out. I hope these ideas will encourage you to put a little heart & love into making your gifts extra special for the ones you love!

Here are a few of my favorite links from the week. Enjoy!

Sit back and be inspired by the style of this beautiful home designed by interior designer Amy Storm of Designstorms. I just love the family room and all the lighting Amy selected.

Inspiration Notebook | November 2017

November 1, 2017

Wow, it’s hard to believe that were closing in on the end of 2017. The year has flown by and it seems like yesterday that we were celebrating the arrival of spring.

Today I’m sharing another chapter from my Inspiration Notebook with you. I started creating my notebook in 2015 as a way to capture in pictures and words the things that are inspiring me at the moment. It’s been so fulfilling taking time each month to create a visual record of what’s going on in my life.

Let’s take a look at what’s on my mind and has me inspired for November…

INSPIRATION NOTEBOOK

NOVEMBER 2017

Have you picked up a copy of Oprah’s new book, The Wisdom of Sundays? {affiliate link} I’m just a few pages in and boy is it a great reminder and motivator on how to live your best life. This is definitely a book you want to add to your Christmas list.

Speaking of living your best life, I’m going to start decorating my house for Christmas this weekend. I’ve got some fun things planned and can’t wait to share them with you. Plus I’m hosting the Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour again this year with a group of great blogging friends . The tour of homes kicks off on November 29th so stay tuned for loads of holiday inspiration. And if you want to check out my Christmas decor from last year, you can see it here.

During fall and winter, one of the little things that brings me joy each morning is relaxing with a cup of tea. I start my mornings sipping from a pretty teacup and easing into my day. (in case you were wondering, Twinings Green Tea is my favorite and this is my go to store for pretty teacups).

When it comes to my nighttime rituals, I’m striving for less time in front of the tv and more time whittling down my stack of magazines. Theres a stack of Christmas magazines on my nightstand just waiting to be read.

Finally, now that the weather is cooler, I’m shopping for a couple of new scarves to add to my wardrobe. I have this geometric print and this floral scarf in my shopping cart and both of them are a great price.

Well friends, that’s a brief look at the month ahead from the pages of my Inspiration Notebook.

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure and come back tomorrow because I’ll be sharing my 2017 Christmas decor theme. It’s a fun one!

Checking In, Home Decor Inspiration & I’ve Been Nominated

August 11, 2017

Hi friends. It’s been quite on the blog this week so I wanted to check in and let you know what I’ve been up to.

I started getting a sore throat the other day which means a summer cold is coming. I’m drinking lots of tea and desperately trying to fight it off. I want to call my doctor for a prescription but she doesn’t play that. She wants to see you before handing out drugs. She’s an awesome doctor and is doing the right thing but #aintnobobygottimeforthat! So I made a run to the drug store yesterday and loaded up on cold meds.

I’ve been doing lots of fabric sourcing lately and found these beauties at ADAC. I haven’t landed on the right combo yet so the search continues today.

Things are moving along with the new house. The painters finish today and I’m excited to have the painting done. I love the colors I choose and how fresh and clean the house now looks. I’ll share photos on Instagram later today when I stop by the house so stay tuned.

The hubs and are spending the weekend doing major cleaning and moving some things into the garage storage area. We are finalizing the carpet and flooring this week and plans are for it to be installed next week. Then we’ll officially move in on the 19th and have two weeks to get settled before we go our a much-needed cruise.

When I haven’t been packing, I’ve been spending my evenings trying to nail down the decor plan for the house. Of course I’ve been turning to Pinterest for inspiration and these are the spaces that are inspiring me at the moment.

What appeals to me about this living room decor by Citrine Living is the soothing color palette, black accents and pops of brass. We’re planning on getting a new sofa and right now I’m leaning toward a mid-tone grey. I want to make sure I have lots of flexibility when it comes to accessorizing and a grey and white palette will allow for that.

I spotted this image from Decoholic and love the texture of the side table, floor pillow, rug and round platter. Since we have a dark wood coffee table using natural fibers, woven pieces and pops of black will work well.

p.s. I’ve been wanting these Ikea woven floor pillows (seen in the photo below) for ages so I’m planning on picking up a couple.

For the master bedroom, this bedroom decor has me inspired. Our walls are a softer grey than this but I love the feel of this bedroom. I’m considering getting a linen upholstered headboard and using black accent furniture to add depth. I’m going for a sophisticate spa feel.

And the last thing I’ll share regarding the house is the direction I think we’re going for the stair runners. I’m trying to decide between a patterned carpet and a sisal and I think a sisal might win out. Here are the top two contenders.
