One of my many life skill deficits is having a totally blind eye for interior decor; or any decor but most especially the interior variety. I'm mostly totally okay and comfortable with my God given not-talent but when we spend so much time sitting/playing/reading in the living room I've often thought it would be nice not to feel less than warm and tingly feelings about its appearance. My brother and I painted it last Thanksgiving which most certainly helped a ton but with the help of Lulu & Georgia (spoiler alert: quickly scroll down for an awesome giveaway or stay here and listen to me) I was able to freshen things up a bit. And now the feelings are all kinds of hot and happy. Inappropriate feelings about a living space? Why not?!
Our awesome wedding photographer (well, his awesome wife) sent this wedding canvas to us because 5.3 years in and we have yet to print any wedding photos to hang. And Simon's grandpa sold his house and is slowly getting rid of furniture and so we lucked out with this 8,000 pound mirror that I adore. Lulu & Georgia sent this gorgeous Lullaby Rocking Chair that is awesome because you can just wipe it clean and it's totally Bash-proof as he has already done his best to destroy it. Love this corner.
It's tough to strike the "have to live here but don't want a massive mess" balance with kids and their toys although we are mean parents and relegate two baskets of toys and a few books for the upstairs (the rest goes in the basement but is slowly being donated before we move .... sshhhh) but I thought this Lulu & Georgia Ronan Bookshelf would help solve that conundrum ...
Simon doesn't trust the kids around our nice books (rightly so) so he's already packed some of them away but I saved a few for the top of the shelf ....
... and if you were wanting to compliment me on my faux greenery creations, you may. And if you were thinking they look hideous and terrible, they were totally Simon's idea.
And here we have another mirror snag from Simon's grandpa's attic. And my fearless prop in Phoebe'e circus ...
I've had that Ikea couch since long before I met Simon and we'll probably have it for many years to come because it's so easy to clean with baby wipes but I don't love it.
I do love these Lulu & Georgia LiLou Pillows that spruce it up a bit ...
... and Prop #2 does too, obviously.
Lulu & Georgia has tons of amazing inventory like this and this and THIS. Each page is better than the next and manages to walk the "not so trendy that this will look weird in five years" line very well. I was so flattered that they wanted to collaborate because our house is the furthest thing from stylish but it was a ton of fun to help it along. When we go down to look for houses in Florida I know I'll just be envisioning where I can put my new grown up furniture and not worrying about bedroom logistics or if the backyard is fenced in for my runners.
So there's a $250 Lulu & Georgia credit up for grabs today! Theo has generously volunteered his affection to all the losers (ahem, non-winners) ...
... so how can you go wrong? (Phoebe says, "you can.")

ReplyDeleteI loooovveee that book case!!

ReplyDeleteThat Zerah rug - swoon!
ReplyDeleteI love the Asher Side Table - it is lovely!

ReplyDeleteI love the mayelle rug in cream!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many neat items! Love the twisted ebony floor lamp!
ReplyDeleteWe have some IKEA furniture that I do not love, but always find I can not live without, so we just keep lugging it along with us for the ride we call "moving all the damn time". (My husband is in the Air Force, we aren't gypsies.) (Not that there'd be anything wrong if we *were* gypsies, but we're not.) (I'm too lazy to erase all of that, so just ignore me.)
ReplyDeleteWe are desperately in need of an entry table--that Fairmont one looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these so called Lulu & Georgia people. I will go forth and educate myself.
ReplyDeletelove that tilde geometric pendant. ...like diamonds in the sky...
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find "THE" perfect chair for our bedroom since I redid the closet and got rid of a hideous dresser (making room for a chair) and I'm pretty sure I just found five. One that my husband would approve of (The Churchill Chair) but four others that are so pretty to look at! And then I found about 5,834 other things that I wanted. Nbd.

ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with the Ronan bookshelf! I have a huge open wall in my living room that I have been trying to fill with a statement piece and that would be perfect! Fingers crossed!!!

ReplyDeleteI don't know how I will ever choose WHEN I win (wink wink wink wink) but right now I'm leaning towards the Knitted Cube Pouf, the Mikel Throw in aqua, or maybe just maybe I'd choose the Pinhole Rug in grey to replace our lovely, but dog-scented living room rug.

So many fun things! I love all of the prints!
ReplyDelete"At this time, we do not offer shipping internationally or to Hawaii or Alaska." *cries* The line that slays me every.single.time. We just bought a house and I am ALL KINDS on the hunt for super fantastic things. I have zero interior design talent as well, so I recruit the help of friends that do! BUT... it wouldn't be Wednesday if something I wanted couldn't be shipped to Hawaii. Cry for me.
