Check Out This Sale!

Post sponsored by MacKenzie-Childs

Hi friends! We can’t resist a great graphic checked pattern, especially on sale! The MacKenzie-Childs Barn Sale just kicked off today and it includes amazing deals (discounts of up to 60% off) on so many must-have finds!

We love the blue and white Royal Check collection…these hand-painted pieces are perfect for adding a pop of color and pattern in so many spaces, and they bring a little extra joy to our everyday activities! We’re also fans of the black and white Courtly Check collection; you can see how we’ve styled those pieces here!

We absolutely adore this pattern play in our powder room with the combination of the geometric Royal Check pieces with the Citrus Garden botanical wallpaper. The soap dish is actually a small plate that we repurposed! We love that so many MacKenzie-Childs pieces have this kind of versatility…you can take a peek here at how we repurposed a wine cooler as a plant pot!

The Barn Sale is only happening from July 20-24, so don’t sleep on snapping up all of your favorites! We’re sharing lots of our Royal Check picks below and you can shop even more styles and patterns over at mackenzie-childs.com!

Entryway Refresh!

July 19, 2023/ Gen Sohr

Post sponsored by Ballard Designs

Hi friends! Now that our checkerboard painted floors in the entryway are done, it’s the perfect time for a furniture and decor refresh in this space! We love turning to Ballard Designs for well-designed, classic pieces that won’t break the bank, like this Suzanne Kasler-designed Southport Rattan Chest that adds convenient storage while looking so great.

This Dayna Bench is another exciting addition to the foyer…it’s ideal for putting on shoes or dropping your bags on the way in or out of the door. It would also be perfect at the foot of a bed or anywhere else you need a bit of stylish seating!

We love the versatility of white ceramic staples like this Classic Garden Stool (add a pretty plant or a stack of your favorite coffee table books) and this Suzanne Kasler Triple Gourd Lamp (try it with the Isla Block Print Pleated Lamp Shade to switch things up!).

Ballard has a great selection of natural fiber woven rugs, like the Anis runner we just added by the door. Our other Ballard go-tos include their Dayna collection faux bamboo chairs and stools, all of the Suzanne Kasler rattan pieces, and their outdoor furniture and replacement cushions. We also adore their upholstered furniture options like the Roswell Sectional…you can pick from so many pretty fabrics to easily customize your design to coordinate with any space!
