Happy Wintertime! No seriously though. Is it not mid-April?!? I know I am the last one to be complaining as lots of you are still living under several feet of snow, but we woke up to forty dang degrees this morning. That is most definitely not what I signed up for living in Georgia! Shorts and tanks on Saturday and then we went digging for the Winter coats before school this morning. Seriously so strange. I always kind of feel like we get robbed a Spring and Fall since it always goes straight into 99 degree weather but we are really getting jipped this year!

Over the weekend we cleaned up and cleaned out the rest of the upstairs and downstairs of our new garage apartment. If you are new to this project, it is a cute little space we will soon be completing, furnishing and then renting out via airBNB and my blog within the next month. Mark and I had this crazy idea late last year after hearing about all of the new downtown rentals and bed/breakfast type places coming to our city. Our home is a hop, skip and a jump from downtown and we never ever use this space so we were like WHY NOT?? Our cute little town is actually the antiquing “capital” of the Southeast and we have a plethora of beautiful wedding venues close by so our area gets a surprising number of tourists. Stay tuned for a little tour later this week!

Today I am sharing another peek inside “Our Wilderness Wonderland” and a cute little nook I recently decorated with the help of At Home Stores! If you follow my Instagram stories, you may have come along with me on a little shopping trip to my local store several weeks ago. I have to be super honest and admit that I had never actually been inside one until that day. I am not really sure what I expected but whatever it was was truly blown away by their selection! This post may be sponsored but I am not lying when I say that it has become one of my new favorite places to shop for artwork, mirrors, accent furniture and pillows. I am planning another trip there later this week for more wall decor for our cabin as well as some accessories for our apartment rental! At Home Stores has so much in stock for refreshing, and refreshing again that you could literally redecorate a space a million and one different ways just within one store location!

For this collaboration, I decided to add a fun little pop of color and pattern to an accent wall between our master bedroom and staircases in the living room of our cabin. It’s a wide open room that needs some defining areas of decor and function. I had come into the store with the idea of either finding a bench of accent table for this space and I almost immediately fell in love with this cute kilim style bench. Next I found several fun side table options and finally landed on this fun shaped black one to coordinate with our freshly painted black doors. Next I came across this pink pillow which added the perfect touch of color and boho style that I love so much and a large mirror and wall hook to finish out the look. I love how it turned out and it has inspired me to really get to thinking about how I want to complete the rest of our living and dining rooms! Here is a peek back at the space BEFORE and then AFTER…
