Coastal Interiors: Coastal Modern Living Room

Home Blog Posts, Living Room, InteriorsAnneke McConnell

The New Year is off with a bang as we are now back into our routine as a family and the kids are back in school.  I'm excited for the year ahead with more design work, my Blogging for Biz and Goal Achievement groups, as well as personal endeavors for our family.  I have traveling HIGH up on the list!

I often post more designs on Instagram at @coastalinteriors, but am making it my goal to post my designs on the blog so they are easier to find for you.  Please comment below or on social media if there are particular topics you'd like me to share about in the future.

 

Here are a fews ideas I'm contemplating:

  • How To Decorate While In Transition: for example, you know you are moving in the near future.
  • Home Building Series: we have been through this process ourselves and my father in law is a builder, so I think this could be beneficial to those of you interested in the process.
  • The Look For Less: sometimes we like the look, but not the price.  What are your thoughts on a series that helps you achieve a similar look on a tighter budget.
  • The Process of Organizing and Decluttering for a home you LOVE.
  • How to Create a "Decorating Plan": it's hard when we would like it all done at once, but it's not always possible.

 

I 'd love to know your thoughts! These are specifically ideas for the "Home" side of the blog.  I will also be adding more to the "Fashion" side as well, but that's another post!  

On another note, I'm considering adding a few contributors to the site, so if there are other topics you are interested in for Coastal Collective Co., I'm all ears. I'm leaning toward Food/Kitchen, because who wouldn't want to learn more about tasty coastal food?!  And possibly Health/Wellness/Activities because it is important to me to share more about a positive life.

Enjoy your day!

Coastal Interiors: Living Room Design

Home Blog PostsAnneke McConnell

Hello friends! Be sure to follow along on Instagram and Pinterest for all the behind the scenes, not to mention my new FAVE app Periscope!!

Fall is officially my favorite time of the year. As a Pacific Northwesterner, born and raised, the air turns crisp, the rainy season has not quite arrived, and the occasional evening of an outdoor fire with smore's always makes the kid's happy! 

I lean toward simple decor and don't change things too much from a seasonal standpoint, but when you do, simple changes in pillow covers, table linens, curtains, and foliage seem to do the trick.  Not to mention pulling out the pumpkin spice candles! I can never get enough of those!

This living room design is a great place to start. Just add pillows, blankets, and other decor with a seasonal color scheme that you LOVE!

Coastal Interiors: Dining Room Edesign

Anneke McConnell

Table / Chandelier / Napkin / Flatware / Plates / Chair / Rug

With the holiday season just around the corner, I have our lovely dining spaces on my mind. Our own dining area......well lack there of, has been a small project of mine I can't wait to share very soon. Just waiting on a backordered chandelier! #patience

I love putting together these edesign boards which I primarily share on Instagram under @coastalinteriors along with featured spaces of interior designers, bloggers, builders, etc. It's been a fun account to inspire others, but I inevitably get question after question about where items are from and understand that people may not prefer the liketoknow.it service.  This is for you!

 

There are a ton of great sales going on right now for dining spaces to get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings.  I tend to keep things simple around my home and so that's what I share in my designs.  This one above is a pretty basic concept, but just add some colorful recipes and fall-colored flowers and they will pair beautifully with the navy blue and warmth of the wood.

xo,

Anneke

Accents Chairs That Make A Statement for Less

Home Blog Posts, FashionAnneke McConnell

I've always felt that certain elements in a home's design are like icing on the cake, one being lighting (which I shared a few tips for choosing HERE), and the other being your accent chairs.  Whether you have one or two in a bedroom sitting area, a child's room, your living space, or flanking your dining table, they are the perfect opportunity to bring a greater sense of your personal style to a room.  You can literally have all the same elements in a room, and a statement chair or two will change the look of the space depending on what you choose. 

Below I am sharing some great deals on accent or statement chairs, most of which are under $500.  I hope you find something that suits your home. I personally have my eye on this one which is currently on sale!  It's everything I look for in a good chair: comfort, style, and family friendly. ;-)

Also, I'll continue to share my faves for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It's still only open to cardholders, but it is super easy to sign up now. Things are already starting to sell out and those awesome post-season prices.  I'll continue to say that I believe in buying less and choosing well - I'm just here to point you in the right direction.  So if you're on the lookout this upcoming fall season to add a new pair of boots to your wardrobe, find that perfect faux fur vest, booties, or pretty little dress for the holiday season, this is the time to jump on these great deals! The sale opens to the public this Friday if you'd like to wait, but I say if you know what you're looking for, go for it!
