Coastal Interiors: Mint Bed and Anchor Bedroom

Interiors, Home Blog Posts, BedroomAnneke McConnell

When it comes to a chic and coastal bedroom, today's design from instagram has a great mix of a antique gold shelving, a cool mint poster bed, navy striping and more.  Not to mention a touch of fun with the gold sequined accent pillow.  I paired these items together with a kid's bedroom in mind, but you made it clear on instagram that you love it for ANY age!

I love putting these designs together, but also know that there are other items that really "complete the look" which I've highlighted in another section below the design.

When it comes down to it, go unapologetically with what you love, whether that bold colors or all whites, golds or polished nickel.  To see some of my recent home decor favorites, go HERE.

 

COMPLETE THE LOOK

top pick: Capiz Shell Lighting, set of two at 78% off, under $100 total

Also, just a head's up that one of my FAVE stores, One Kings Lane, has some amazing pieces of furniture, home decor, and gift items up for grabs right now. They are a great place to get high quality at a discount for everything from sofas, chairs, loveseats, tufted beds, wood tables, and more.

Coastal Interiors: Navy and Neutral Dining Room

Dining, Interiors, Home Blog PostsAnneke McConnell

With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, I'm like most people and thinking of the fun parties, dinners, and social gatherings that happen this time of year.  I can't help but have those dining spaces on the brain!

 

With that in mind, here is today's design!

 


If you follow along on my @CoastalInteriors Instagram account, I put it out there asking input on these two end chairs for today's dining room edesign.  The feedback was a good mix between the two!


 

For the design itself, I went with the Navy Captains Chair.  It has a chair texture with a pretty linen look.  Either would look GREAT! The larger wing chair is a little more formal and comfortable while the captains chair adds style while not become obtrusive.  The white farmhouse style table is pretty long at 94" with the gorgeous Pottery Barn chandelier hanging above.  Going with a natural rug can offer a lot of versatility for other design pieces and be used in other spaces in the future if necessary.

 

chandelier / white dining table / end chairs / parsons chairs / rug / sideboard / mirror

 

Between the crystals in the chandelier, the natural rug and pattern in the side chairs, I'm in love!  I love mixing wood elements in a design with whites, blues, and a little sparkle.

What do you think?

I'd love to know if you add any of these pieces to your home or the entire design.  Feel free to share a photo on social media and use the hashtag #mycoastalinteriors so I can see it!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Kitchen Makeover Reveal

Home Blog Posts, Interiors, KitchenAnneke McConnell

Welcome if you are hopping over from the One Room Challenge!  It's been quite the push over these past six weeks to get one room completed, and we decided to tackle our kitchen, which we started this summer, but fizzled out on momentum.  More on that HERE.

We admittedly did not get everything done on our list, but I can say that I am just so happy with how it has turned out!  

 

Still yet to tackle:

  1. Trim out the kitchen sink window.
  2. Install backsplash (we did not paint since we are doing this).
  3. The lighting and window treatment were delayed, but will be installed as soon as they arrive.

 

NOT BAD!

 

Here's a recap so far -

Week 1: The Vision and Before Photos

Week 2: Painting the Cabinets

Week 3: Purging, Storage and Organization Solutions in the Kitchen

Week 4: Herringbone Tile

Week 5: Evaluating Progress

 

HERE IS THE BEFORE:

 

This reveal post is a little "lighter" than I'd like it to be since our kiddos were sick since last Wednesday and unfortunately it caught up to me this weekend, just after posting my last blog on Nautical Pendant Lighting. :-/ Boo!

I will be back this week with a full post that includes more photos and complete source details! As reference, the before photos were professional HDR photos taken for our home when it was a vacation rental.  The following were taken by myself, and although I'm improving, I'm thankful for these online courses that have taught me more about photography! 

 

 

SOME AFTER PHOTOS:

 

Navy Blue Velvet Drapes (mine are from Target, but they are sold out) / rug found on eBay







Desk was a craigslist find - $50!



Capiz Shell Table Clock (found at HomeGoods - HERE is a similar version)


Looks like I caught out cute little Maltipoo Copper sleeping on the job! I not so secretly love that his ears match the blanket. Lol (similar here)


And a sneak peek into our little living room off the kitchen.  I just updated the fireplace stone with some paint so details coming soon about that!

BEST armchairs for cuddling with kids, puppies, and a book or magazine!


Isn't this the cutest little wishbone jewelry tray I found for by the kitchen sink?! I got ours at HomeGoods, but found a similar one HERE.

 

Wishing you all a Happy Holiday Season! Thank you for your encouragement along the way!
