Hello Everyone, Today I am sharing with you all of the secrets you need to know to create a room of your own just like
my living room. So if you are looking for any of the items, or all of the items in my living room, this post is for you!
As you know, I love blue and white as it is such a timeless color and feels so welcoming, I hope you enjoy reading, some of my finds might surprise you!
So lets start with the basics first, my room is painted in simple white by Benjamin Moore, trim is swiss coffee by Dunn Edwards
My roman shades were custom made, but here is the fabric I used and I just love it. I ordered it on line and it came so quickly. The repeat is large, so allow for extra yardage.

My Dreamy carpet came from……. are you ready??? Walmart……. It truly is my favorite rug in my house, and it cleans so easily! And it was only $125.00, it looks grey in the image, but you can see from my image of the living room it is much whiter.
Another beautiful rug option is this one from Ballard Designs:
There truly is nothing like an off white sofa, it is just so crisp and clean looking and very versatile.
Here is my favorite one, this is a timeless piece and you will have it for years to come, the best part is it has a slip cover that you can clean.
My Chairs are vintage and I had them recovered, but here are two options that would work so well with this design. I will also give you the link for the ticking fabric I bought off of Etsy in case you have a chair you would like to recover.

This is a Walmart chair too and so cute and affordable, You know I am all about mixing it up and saving money where you can!
I also love this blue and white chair from Ballard designs online, it a a bit more of a casual feel.
With all of Covid going on, I truly ordered everything online.
The coffee table came from Overstock , I used some vintage books from an estate sale on the bottom and a cute tray I found at Home Goods on top with a cute candle from Anthropologie and of course some fresh flowers
Lastly all of the important little details that make a room feel like home, the pillows, throws, pictures and accessories all make a room feel warm and cozy.
I purchased these prints from Etsy and bought some simple frames at Michaels
I bought the majority of my pillows on Etsy as well, but a few from Home Goods, you just have to look often, I bought smaller pillows this time and am loving the size, these are 18 x 18, the biggest secret I have is to always use feather inserts! the least expensive inserts are at Ikea.

Throws are truly my favorite accessory to buy, I think I have one on almost every chair in my house.
Here are a few of my favorites, as I am loving the big chunky knits, soon I am going to hand knit one of these, so look out for my post!
I cannot wait to try this.
