New Year, New Style

There is no better time to start fresh than January, right? We always do a purge after the holidays, and I’m in the mood to brighten up our house for spring (which could be right around the corner here in Texas. Please, spring, hurry up!). I always see the cutest things at Target. Best of all, their stuff is cheap and right on trend. I saw several things during my last visit that I am considering bringing home to live with us.

I’m not normally a knickknacks person, but I loved these to add some shine and “pretty” to our bedroom:

{1 – Aqua Glass Vases, 2 – Parrot Figurine}

And for the living room:

{3 – Cream Textured Pillow, 4 – Round Tufted Storage Ottoman, 5 – One Drawer Accent Table}

That pillow would be so easy to DIY. I’m pretty sure it’s just strips of twill tape, which I have tons of. But really, am I going to make one? Doubtful. I’m liking the ottoman more for the shape than the fabric. We do have pops of yellow in our living room, but that print is…country? 80s? I don’t love it. But the little side table is very stylish. It would be a great mid-century modern (MCM) accent in our 1950s ranch house. The only thing holding me back is that it is relatively inexpensive to buy a genuine MCM end table that is made of 100% wood. Not sure what that one is made from.

Check in next week to see how to vases and parrots look in our bedroom.
