Our Breakfast Room Decor Reveal

Happy Saturday!  Our breakfast room… is it a room?  A space between rooms?  A thoroughfare between our kitchen and living room?  I think this is what has befuddled me in designing this space.  And in posting it as well.  It lacks walls and a defined area which makes it extra tricky in designing.  Take a peek at it before…

BEFORE

Kitchen Before Kitchen Before 2

For more on our Kitchen Renovation, READ “Our White on White Kitchen Reveal”

THE PROCESS

First up in our entire home renovation was PAINT!  I chose Ponder by Sherwin Williams for the walls and you can read more on that choice HERE.   It’s a tricky gray so it’s worth an article read before you go grab a can.  I promise… you will thank me.

So how do I design a space?  Well, for starters I ALWAYS begin with what I love.  And I fell in love with this rug!  In creating a whimsical, colorful and COHESIVE home, carrying key elements from room to room is crucial.  In our home, dark teal (Really Teal by Sherwin Williams) is the defining element that brings it allll together.  So once I saw this teal rug, I had to have it.  From there, I added my signature pop of color and pattern with the end chairs and roman shades.  It’s a bright, airy and fun space where we gather every morning, noon and night as a family.  It’s chic and whimsical yet every bit as functional too.  And yes, when my kiddos eat Spaghetti-O’s, they don’t sit at the end chairs!

    I like to see the before and after shots of your house flipping! I also like to see the details of your projects and how exactly you accomplished them! Mostly the paint and wallpaper items.

    I love seeing how you’ve made a house completely a home by renovating and adding your special style! It’s very encouraging to me, being a first time home buyer only a couple of months ago! Love all of the pops of color you incorporate throughout your home and also that you share with us where you get a lot of your decor! 🙂

    Love the before and after! I love seeing the diamond in the rough revealed. In future posts, I’d love to see more of the process. Sometimes it’s intimidating to start a project, so how do you tackle a whole room? Do you paint and makeover things yourself? Is it a family affair? Or do you have a trusted team you go to? I discovered your blog through Instagram and I love how you can tell a whole story and evoke a feeling through pictures. What you do is an art, can’t wait for inspirational new posts and blogs!

    I learn so much from your post about design and revamping rooms. I love seeing where you purchase items and how I can incorporate them into my own home.
    Another favorite is seeing your home lived in and pics of the “real” days too!
    Keep doing what your doing! I’m a fan!

    I love it all the style the décor before and after photos. The teal rug under the dining room table is a favorite of mine! I’d love for you to keep on posting pictures and giving me ideas for my own home. Recently purchased our home and so it’s been a fun adventure turning it into what we love. The blog is perfect I can’t think of anything that could make it better. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for taking time to share it!

    I have a similar dining set up and have my ends empty because I can’t find the right end chairs! How did you add the fabric to the backs of these? Great idea!

As I always say, the only journeys and experiences As I always say, the only journeys and experiences I can… and do… share are that of my own. And today it’s last week’s journey of my explant, lift and recovery. As someone who was “born” with big boobs, had implants to fill what I’d lost to weight loss and nursing to now having explanted to a much smaller size, I’ve been happy with every step along the way. It’s all been what I had or felt I needed or wanted at each stage of life and I’m not one to ever look back and have regrets. It’s just that at this stage of life, I decided the next step for me was to shed some chest. And kind of a lot of it. From a size 32G to a yet to be fully determined 32B-C! To be super honest, the pondering and deciding was by the far the longest and hardest part. With no direct reason for doing so (thankfully)… rather a combination of them from possible health issues 🤞🏻 associated with my implants to the usual back/shoulder pain to just a growing desire to get them out, I’ve felt a bit indecisive and very nervous. But last week I finally did it and I’m so happy I did! Women have so many worries and pressures and insecurities so if this has been on your pondering list as well, I’m just here to tell you that it wasn’t that bad. Any body change takes some getting used to but not gonna lie, shedding that top heavy feeling has been rather fabulous. And the cute little tops and bras I can now wear feel like icing on the cake! So from your always raw and honest IG bestie, thank y’all so much for following along and for all of the love and well wishes on stories. Means the WORLD 🫶🏻
Forget drenching your hands with straight acetone… and the hour and a half SNS process… try this and you’ll never go back! Yep, it’s the “old school” tips method but with your own nails. Takes so much less time and although still not exactly CLEAN, it’s way better than an acetone hand bath every two weeks. Plus, they’re actually much smoother too!

Where did you find the drapery hardware in your ba Where did you find the drapery hardware in your bathroom?... what about your bedroom?... living room? It’s all @kirsch and it’s all STUNNING! Scale is everything in design and sometimes the biggest “misses” are in the details. With a huge assortment of difficult to find, thick rods, substantial finials and beautiful rings, as you can see something as “simple” as drapery hardware can absolutely MAKE a space.
