A Cozy Bedroom with TJMaxx

Whew! We have been busy! One day we’ll get to updating the blog with some finished projects (why is this always the hardest part?) but for now, let’s dream up a cozy bedroom on a budget, shall we?

Whenever I’m watching TV, I almost always happen to be combing the interweb for the latest design deals—isn’t that what everyone does? My last web browsing brought me to my beloved TJMaxx, where one items lead to another and eventually, I’d created a whole room full of affordable pieces. I thought I’d share in case you too were needing a room refresh or perhaps just wanted to bring in a few new pieces.

jute trim quilt (multiple sizes) / block print pillow / ruffled euros / rug / basket / blue pillows / blanket

Because the pieces are timeless and simple, they would work in a little girl’s room, a tween’s room or even a cozy master bedroom. All of the layers and texture evoke a sense of peace and calm no matter in which room they land.

-The quilt is a simple design that can be used even if you switch out pillows in the future ($49.99 for a queen).
-The ruffled euros are a great deal for $50 for the set.
-I love the depth and luxurious look of this rug—another piece that could work in many spaces down the road.
-Add in some soft color with these high quality Lillian August velvet pillows (also a set of 2).
-Layer the long 38” printed lumbar in front of the velvet for some added interest.
-Baskets are a clean room’s best friend. It’s always nice to have a basket to store (or hide) unsightly items for a quick and easy clean up.
-Cozy blankets are a yearly staple at our house— the perfect comfort for an afternoon nap or snuggling up with a good book. This chunky weave is a great option.

Friday Feature- A Dinosaur Bedroom

Sometimes we come across items that we can quickly see a room design centered around. That’s what happened when we say this dinosaur lamp!

Here’s a few pieces to quickly (and inexpensively) update your dino-lovers bedroom.

View fullsize

This fun dinosaur lamp caught our eye because it’s playful without being too loud (a thing often hard to find with children’s dinosaur items). The geometric body adds another layer of dimension to the space and the wooden tones really pop on the blue side table. This one with a drawer is great for keeping all of the knickknacks and collections safely tucked away when not in use.

The blue geometric pillow (use a down/feather insert for the best shape and durability) pops on the white quilt that can be used with theme changes years down the road. We always love layering a throw at the end of the bed, and this one is perfect to bring in a little more texture and interest to the space. It makes a great nap blanket or story time snuggle buddy too.

Kids come with a lot of stuff—trophies, books, art (frame it with a mat to make it pop), random collections…so might as well display them well! This bookcase is a great landing spot to get things off the floor and wood/metal finishes give an extra layer to the room without overwhelming it. We hope you love it too!

Freshen Your Lamps for Spring - Under $130 a Set!

While sourcing items for a client, we stumbled upon some great lamps at TJMaxx. Who doesn’t love TJ as we affectionately call him? They had a lot of great sets and at an even better price point! Since you guys loved our last post on office items sourcing, we figured we give some ideas for freshening up your lighting this spring.

These little black beauties are the perfect amount of modern and casual simplicity. And the fun base shape is sure to upgrade to any space to a more designer look.

These make a great addition to any sofa table. They are the perfect scale and match just about any interior.

Timeless and sophisticated, these would be a great pair for any transitional to classic space.

These lamps are playful and so fun! They will instantly cheer up a space and bring some extra character to a room. Living room, office, entry table, girl’s bedroom…so many places for these to land.

If these don’t say “welcome to spring!” we don’t know what does. These are the perfect shade of green to bring in some much needed color to any space. We’re happier just looking at them.

Which set is your favorite and where would you put it in your home? We love these so much, we might just have to show you some pillow pairings to finish off the refresh! Stay tuned!

The Great Outdoors

Like many, who have been in quarantine, we have been spending a lot of time in our yard for some fresh air and vitamin D. The weather luckily has been so pleasant. We have played outdoor games, drew chalk drawings on our fence, lounged in a blow-up pool, worked in the yard, roasted marshmallows, and have enjoyed a few meals outside. We have even started prepping for the garden we have been talking about doing for a while now.

To help you make the most of your outdoor space, we pulled together some pieces to create an attractive outdoor living space (much of it is on sale) along with some items that you can enjoy outdoors. How fun would it be to camp in your backyard with easy access to bathrooms :) or have an outdoor movie night?!

We would love to hear some ways you and your family have been enjoying your outdoor space. Comment below.
