The next thing I did was to change up the artwork on the walls to something a bit more simple.If your wall is looking cluttery to you, one simple thing to do is to reduce the number of items on your wall, but increase their size as well so that the wall still looks balanced and the proportions look correct..

So instead of three smaller frames on a wall, or two smaller frames and a mirror, I went with just two larger framed pieces on each wall.. Upgrade.I previously just had cheap, off-the-shelf frames from the craft store up on this wall and when I knew I wanted something larger and with a bit more presence, I also knew that the overall product would be better if I upgraded the quality of the pieces I was using as well as the size.. First, I had a bit of a vision for how this was going to come together, so I gave Chris a bit of a challenge and asked him to capture scenes from around our home town that fit into my vision.What I really wanted was photos that represented things I loved about the area we live, but that also kind of looked like the vintage painting prints that I love so much that I’ve been adding in around our house here and there.

The photos don’t look like paintings, of course, but they have the same type of coloration, and that’s what I was after.I had specific shapes and colors in mind so we captured some different things that fit in to that: Lily pads, creeks, and a marina, and then edited them to get the colors really softened muted.

I can’t believe we pulled it off, actually, but I love them!

The colors work so perfectly in our home.In terms of style, this chair does not disappoint.

Every part of it is just beautiful.I love that every element of this chair is real and not plastic, so it looks like it could be something that you’ve had forever.

The thing that I was really nervous about was the color of the chair.I loved the look of the “Coastal Blue” on the website, but I knew that it definitely wasn’t the “safe” choice.
