Let’s not forget he abstract artwork! Without it, this living room would be dull and lifeless. The great thing about abstract artwork is it combines so many vivid colors that bring a room to life – it’s like a beautiful bird singing in a tree! This piece is a custom work done by Dara Burriss but you can get the look for a LOT less!

All The Rage – Sheepskin Décor For Your Home

Looking to prep your home for winter with comfort and style?

Sheepskin rugs, pillows, chairs and ottomans are currently all the rage! Once known to be used in country and cottage-style decorating, sheepskin has transitioned into urban homes and apartments everywhere.[mks_pullquote align=”left” width=”300″ size=”24″ bg_color=”#efc5ba” txt_color=”#ffffff”]We share some tips on decorating with sheepskin and a cool DIY project that will cost you less than $100![/mks_pullquote]

Use Sheepskin To Add Texture

Simplicity definitely beats complexity. If you’ve got an all-white bedroom or space in your home, a sheepskin rug can spruce it up by adding texture to blatant white. For a harmonious interior, you can add texture in the same color but in the form of fabrics, wallpapers, and carpets. The sight of a sheepskin rug, although white, brings warmth through its shaggy and luxurious fur.

3. Candy Land Christmas Tree

If you have kids, then this is a kid friendly and fun tree to decorate! You start with a white tree as your base, and you can pile on pink ribbons, gingerbread houses, icicles,  and even flowers. Look closely – you’ll even see some pink and white roses on this tree! P.S – I’m loving those frosted cupcakes on the table and pink champagne glasses! This is a very shabby-chic style Christmas tree, and perfect for the holidays.
