last time i showed you around my living room was back in 2015 .. and wow, things have definitely changed since then! i'm still a big fan of vintage and mid-century furniture but my style is now more influenced by scandinavian design. i guess this room is a mash-up of all of those influences but i've always liked mixing new and old so that's not much of a surprise! anyway, i've been itching to show you around how it looks now and share some of my favourite pieces! as we have a 1 yr old slowly taking over our home we weren't in the mood for a drastic renovation but with a repaint, a big reshuffle and the help of the wonderful west elm (aka the purveyors of dreamy mid-century furniture) who very kindly gifted us some pieces we've been able to create a living room that i want to hang in all day long. YAY! one of the biggest things that we needed to change was our old sofa, omg it was a sorry state. it was so stained from years of our muddy ...

plants are one of the most important elements in our home, i don't seem to be capable of going through a week without adding another to my collection! i've been meaning to make some plant stands for a long time- i adore the classic standing mid century styles but i wasn't in the mood to cut up all the dowel to make them so when i saw this metal  square planter  on pinterest i knew i could recreate it with wood and make a simple stand that just slotted together- yay!
