Today is the day! We are finally sharing our living room and dining room space. Which includes a pinch me moment – our space is being featured on the Glitter Guide today!!! In the feature Shannon {our interior designer, more to come on her} and myself are sharing five reasons you should decorate your rental property. Glitter Guide is one of my favorite places to go for home inspiration, as well as recipes, fashion, and more. So to be featured on their site is truly a dream! One that I am definitely jumping for joy over and counting as a huge blessing.
Onto the space, Shannon and I have been working on the space since January of this year. The two “rooms” were complete around mid-July. Therefore, it was quite the project and labor of love! Thankfully, I had Shannon along for the ride with me! She kept me sane and helped create this absolutely beautiful space that Joshua and I couldn’t be more happy with. It’s cozy, casual, and a chic – exactly what I like. And as long as the couch was long enough for Joshua to take a nap on, he was happy!
Today, I’m sharing a couple of photos not included in the feature on Glitter Guide as well as links to several of the items included in our space. Over the next coming weeks, I’ll be diving into each “room” separately and sharing more about the details + working with an interior designer {the whole process from start to finish}. Let me say now though, Shannon was an absolute dream! I could not recommend her more.
So let’s take a look…

Joshua and I knew from the get go that we wanted to decorate our rental home. We knew we would be here for at least a year, most likely two {we’re staying for the second one} and it was important that the space felt like home. Therefore, our mix and match furniture {or lack there of} wasn’t going to cut it! It was time to adult, purchase solid, already built furniture {out with the college Ikea furniture}. We took some time to figure out what was most important to both of us for the space. Which included what we had to have, what we liked, and also want we really didn’t like. Then it was time to find inspiration photos. I spent a lot of time on Pinterest and Instagram searching for photos that created that homey, cozy feel.
Once we had all of our inspiration and a clear idea of what we wanted, we partnered with Shannon Claire Interiors. Those inspiration photos were sent to her and design boards were sent out way! The project had begun and our space had a clear vision, thanks to Shannon. We started with several larger pieces and then paint + a marble statement wall. I’ll dive more into everything in coming posts but let me say, paint and temporary wall paper can absolutely transform a room!
We were incredibly blessed to partner some incredible companies for our space that I could not say thank you enough to. So, thank you again:

Aw thank you love! The blue and white/ivory happen naturally. The pink was kind of added in last minute, with no real intentions of becoming a main color. But I love it!

I am in love with this space! Will be using this as inspiration!
