Marigold

Madewell is having a great sale on their summer clothes right now. So many of them would be perfect for fall transition. For example, if you just add a cozy grandpa cardigan with this dress you have a fall outfit in a split second.

The marigold color is hot for fall. In fact, mustard yellow, burnt orange and shades within this color family are all SUPER hot for fall.

I always look for a good sale on quality clothes and J.Crew and Madewell are good spots for me. You will also find some cute denim skirts on sale too!

Article Anton Sofa

This post is sponsored by Article.

In a sea of neutrals it’s nice to see a pop of blue. Don’t you agree? I’m still not over deep gem tones, teals and blues. The Anton sofa by Article was just the perfect pop of color in Rennai’s home. I had the chance to style her living room, and I had a lot of fun playing up patterns, textures and color.

If you’re looking for a stylish couch with durable fabric definitely check out this sofa. I have the Sven in Birch, and I love it. However, this blue sure makes me smile when I see it. Sometimes you just need furniture in your home that does that for you.

Something else to note is that this bench is from Article as well. You don’t always need a coffee table to complete a space. Leather adds a lot of warmth too.

Article is just amazing, guys. The quality and design is THERE! Check them out!

Levi's Big Boy Room

Levi turns 3 this week. I just can’t believe it. He has officially started wearing clothes without the letter “t” in the size, he is potty trained, and he is definitely ready for a big boy bed. For his 3rd birthday I partnered with Living Spaces to pack away the crib and graduate him to a bonafide twin bed.

It sure was an emotional day when that crib left the house. Countless hours have been spent rocking my babies over that crib. I remember the day we first set it up and how I couldn’t believe a baby would be sleeping in it. Now, here I am…The crib is gone and Levi is sleeping in one of the most gorgeous twin beds I have ever seen.

He is practically Prince and the Pea because he has the nicest mattress ever. If you didn’t know, they have their own mattress line called Revive. I got the R2 plush mattress, and I wish I had one for my bed. I own one for my guest room, and after sleeping on it I was hooked. They also do a lot of giving back to their communities. During certain times of year they do buy 1, give 1 events where for each mattress purchased a twin mattress is donated to a foster family through Arizona Helping Hands. So cool, right?!

I kept all of the items from his nursery, and I rearranged the room to incorporate a twin bed. Instead of keeping the big mirror hanging above the bed, I moved the dresser to the opposite side of the room and put the mirror above it. This created some space to put up a wall clock and have the bookshelf be more of a focal point.

If you’re looking to design a room for your son or daughter, I have shared some tips on Living Spaces’ Behind the Design blog.

All in all I still love his room. I’ll miss the beautiful nursery that I brought him home to, but this space is just as great and one for him to grow into.

SVEN IS PERFECT FOR JUMPING

This post is sponsored by Article.

Sven is arguably the internet's favorite sofa. Have you met, Sven?! Over 35,000 homes, offices and coffee shops are home to Sven including mine. I got my sofa last year, and I'm here to share with you how I'm loving it so far. 

In a nutshell, I have told every one of my friends how much I love Article and the quality of their furniture. Somehow my six year old and three year old have managed to avoid destroying it. In fact, it's the perfect couch for jumping, flipping and wrestling. At least Levi and Elle seem to think so. 

I, on the other hand, find this couch to be incredible beautiful, easy to take car of and cozy. Sven and I like to cuddle up these days. Haha! 

If you're looking for a new sofa I know just where to find one because I'm giving one away over on Instagram. WOOT! Be sure to head over and check out the post. 

You'll also be happy to know this sofa has over 2,900 reviews, and they are all between 4.5 and 5 stars. HOLY MOLY! Yeah, you guys...Look no further than this sofa. And, if you don't know, Article has a 30 day money back guarantee and they have a $49 flat shipping rate no matter how large your furniture is.

Upstairs Guest Room with Garnet Hill

This post is sponsored by Garnet Hill.

It took me a whole year, but I finally got back into decorating spaces again. This guest room has been unfinished for a year since we moved Elle into the other room. It was time to finish nesting. 

I had a different bed in here, but moved it downstairs when we divided furniture. I wanted another room for guests to sleep in, so I got this bed from Lamps Plus. Though I am a modern girl, I thought this bed was super cool. I was really impressed that they even carried bed frames. 

I already had the BEST linen bedding from Garnet Hill. It has soft pink ticking stripes, so it really set the tone for what was coming next. 

The wall was already painted black, and I had already experimented with pink and black for Elle's room. I knew I liked it, but when I saw this rug from Garnet Hill I knew this was the direction I wanted to go. It's STUNNING! I LOOOOOOOVE it. I have never loved a rug more. The quality is amazing. 

Everything fell into place from there. I used a brass lamp I already had from Living Spaces, and wool stools from my bedroom. I also found the perfect spot for my great, great aunt's steamer trunks from the 1800s. 

All in all, I could not be happier to have another beautiful room complete in my home. Now bring on the guests!
