This past week, I teamed up with a few of my Instagram friends to do a living room refresh. It was super fun and definitely gave us some motivation to get projects done. Having a time limit, and others to keep me accountable, always helps this procrastinator.

You can see my friends’ living room refreshes here:

Aly from Iekel Road Home

Yari from @YariGarcia.Home

Leah from @KenningtonCorner

Christine from @TheCreasonCrew

They did some really beautiful things to their spaces, using almost 100% of what they already had at home. Go check them out! 🙂

As for my living room refresh… I don’t really have good “before” pictures, because it had just gotten out of hand. Cluttered and blah. But I do have one photo to kind of show you where I started.

Before

Spring Living Room Refresh

For the most part, I used things I already had. I did run out to Goodwill and Walmart briefly for a few small things to pull it all together. But for the most part, this was all done with things I had. Which means, you can do it too! I added woven blinds to my smaller window, and I’m so glad I did. I scored big time with this woven blind from Goodwill, but you can find one really similar here.

The main changes consisted of a few new pillows (from Goodwill tablecloth and dinner napkins), finishing my black and white striped wingback slipcover, refreshing my desk space, simplifying the walls ,etc.

The gold lamp was actually a Goodwill find, but you can shop it here.

As we’ve been home so much more through COVID-19, I feel this urge to just really simplify our house. Get rid of clutter, only put things that I love on the walls, etc. It feels so much more refreshing and less stressful, since we’re homebound for a while.

I had found this woven blind at Goodwill months ago, but didn’t put it up because it technically wouldn’t fit any of our windows. BUT, all of my windows have curtains, so I figured, who cares if it’s too wide for the window? The curtains will hide the extra. I’m so happy I did it… I now want woven blinds for all of my windows. Someday 😉

I hope you enjoyed this little refresh and that it encouraged you to shop your home and get creative to mix things up.

Thanks for reading! As always, it helps so much to pin below for later 🙂

I was trying to post this with original audio of m I was trying to post this with original audio of me explaining each item and my thoughts on the price etc etc but apparently I don’t have that capability yet on IG… so, enjoy this reel and just know that I had a lot more to say. 😂

I feel like my house is just constantly a mess, no matter how hard I try. Anyone else? It feels like I’m always behind, and to be honest, it bothers me a lot. It overwhelms me and stresses me out. It keeps me from being content and present. Between things constantly being broken (hello middle child) and just too much stuff in general.
Here’s what I’m working on to simplify and calm the chaos.
1. I’ve been removing all toys that don’t get played with often. We currently have magnatiles, Duplos, and race cars out. The rest have been moved to storage in the basement for the moment. We’ll see what we keep as my kids do sometimes notice toys they’re missing and ask for them.
2. I’ve been ruthlessly getting rid of stuff - whether donate or trash. If we don’t absolutely love it, or we have multiples, or no one touches it, or we have a huge pile of random papers and crafts. Gone. 😂 it’s so relieving.
3. I often have artwork and decor laying around because I don’t fully know where it’s going yet. I’ve been removing anything that doesn’t serve a purpose and have been putting it in basement storage. No point having it sit there and clutter. I’ll go get it when I’m ready to hang the picture or use the decor.
4. I’ve been re-assessing where we need more storage. I replaced a dresser that didn’t functional well with a $50 homeschool cabinet from FB marketplace and it’s been so much better.
5. As I remove things from our every day view, I’m noticing the ability to better enjoy the everyday messes and real life, because it isn’t so out of control and overwhelming.

I hope this is encouraging for mamas in the same boat ✨

We spent a lot of time in our front yard, but never really on our porch. I bought this porch paint months ago and finally got it done! Now our porch is a cozy place to sit ✨ Inspired by @mustardseedbeginnings super cute porch.

SO I decided I was going to make my own art for them. I found a fabric remnant at a local thrift store for $0.99 cents and voila. Took all of 5 mins ✨
