Acorn Cottage {Dining Room}

The place where we eat our meals and entertain, the dining room in the rear of the house features lots of blues and whites. The Carol Hallock painting sets the stage with its very moody, swampy appearance. The room features lots of brass accented pieces including the iron chandelier purchased from Niche Modern Home. I liked this photo, so I thought it would be nice to share from my perch on the sofa.

Dining, y'all!

Springtime {Easter Coffee Table}

In the living room, the coffee table {Niche Modern Home} holds a collection of books, as well as other accessories. I like to add some seasonal accessories throughout the year.

A blue and white chinoserie bowl {Perino's Home & Garden} is filled with gilded eggs {Aux Belles Choses}. A sculptural porcelain tulip {Gulf Coast Home} sits in a white cachepot. I love the look of the tulip and gold gilded metal leaves.

A vintage-style foil wrapped bunny is also a perfect accessory for the Easter vignette.

Also, the coffee table holds a set of gilded turtle shells {Hazelnut} and a favorite Baobab candle {Sotre}.

The coffee table in the living room is definitely feeling like Spring these days.

Springtime Coffee Table, y'all!

Fun Finds: One Year Ago {Then and Now}

This was my post exactly one year ago when J and I were in the beginnings of a new home and months of renovations. Keep reading to see how these finds were used in the Acorn Cottage.

It's on, y'all! I am having the time of my life picking out fabrics, sofas, furnishings for the new home. Work on the Acorn Cottage begins on June 12, and I can hardly wait. Here's just a sneak peak of some of what's to come.

Antelope Rug for the Living room. Ballard Designs

Possible fabrics for drapes. Thanks Fairfax Fabrics.

Sugar Kettle for front garden.

Love seat fabric and pillows. Niche Modern Home

Chandeliers. Niche Modern Home

Master Bedroom

Guest room

Copper Awning idea. C. Bel Awning

Bistro chairs.

Ottomans.

Now for the moved in, 2019 edition of the above post.

The antelope rug was used in the living room under the two loveseats ordered from Niche Modern Home. Drapes in silk with navy ribbon were made by Fairfax Fabric Co. for the living room windows. The green fabrics above did not make the final cut.

Light fixtures from Niche and Greige were used in the dining and guest rooms.

The sugar kettle found its spot in the backyard.

The awnings by C. Bel Awnings are a perfect addition to the front and back of the house.

Bistro chairs were also a must-have and are perfect in the dining room and on the patio.

Fun Finds again, y'all!

The Acorn Cottage {Furniture Delivery}

Yesterday was an exciting day at the Acorn Cottage as two furniture deliveries arrived. J and I were so happy to receive deliveries from Niche Modern Home and DOP Antiques. We purchased all of these back in May and knew each piece would be a perfect fit in the cottage.

From Niche, we were happy to add two custom loveseats, a brass and glass coffee table, and a chandelier (more on that later).

From DOP, one of our favorite antique destinations, we acquired a new China hutch and a marble topped sideboard.

Of course, I will have fun styling each.

New furniture makes me one happy dude.

And a HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY to my favorite boo!!! Many folks think you have secured a place in heaven for sure! I love you so much.

Deliveries, y'all!

The Acorn Cottage {Lighting}

One of my most favorite aspects of a new home is choosing lighting. Great lighting and fixtures always add lots of character to any home.

J and I checked out the beautiful lighting choices at Rivers Spencer a couple weeks ago. We have narrowed our choices to the following lighting fixtures. This can definitely change, but for now I am happy with these.
