Indoor garden vibes... Space saving tips for plant lovers


I'm proud to say that I'm slowly, but surely developing my green thumb and knowledge of plants and flowers. A few things I've learned is that the world of plants is quite vast, and that plants and flowers can really add to my at-home experience. While I only own a few plants right now, my goal is to surround myself with gorgeous greenery at home... executed tastefully and with style of course! 

In honor of my botanical goals, here are some of my favorite interiors giving major indoor garden vibes. I've even included 6 great ideas for making potted plants work for you at home!

Idea #1: Cluster your potted plants in an empty corner of your home to maximize space. Using small side tables of varying heights will create great visual interest and allow you to see all of your plants at once.

Idea #2: You can never go wrong with symmetry! Choose two matching potted plants and place them across from one another for an upscale look like in this stunning Atlanta home.

Idea #3: If you're tight on space, choosing just one great oversized plant will go a long way. And you'll love the pop of green it adds to your space!

Idea #4: Try creating a stylish plant cart to maximize the look of your plants when styled together. This is a space saving idea that's also really attractive. Just purchase your favorite bar cart and then fill it with your favorite potted plants!

Idea #5: Another unique way to style several plants together is to hang them from a garment rack. I love the look this creates with the plants hanging at different heights and it's an unexpected use of a garment rack!

Idea #6: This last idea is great for someone with a bit more space. Try filling an entire bookcase with potted plants like shown above. The results are a breath of fresh air... literally!


Plants in a space really make everything better. Trust me!

Your "Go-to" brand for upholstered furniture on a budget!

Hooray! My custom headboard has arrived from Carrington Court!

The first day of Spring is finally here and you may be ready to refresh your home on a budget. I happen to be on a mission to redecorate my own bedroom right now. Carrington Court has been an amazing resource for finding quality upholstered furniture at reasonable price. I have just traded out my traditional wood headboard for Carrington Court's Bergman Headboard, which comes with custom nailheads in the finish of your choice. They offer over 200 custom fabric selections ranging from bold patterned fabrics, to solids, and even leather. You can check out how my custom headboard with Carrington Court turned out in the photo above. It is extremely well-made and I love the fabric. I selected their "Dakota Snow" fabric, which has a subtle sheen and a nice reflective quality that really brightens my room.

I've styled 3 of my favorite Carrington Court furniture selections below to inspire your next redecorating project. These looks all have a fresh contemporary feel and feature Carrington Court's budget friendly upholstered furniture. You will seriously love this brand!

When it comes to relaxing at home transforming your bedroom into your own personal sanctuary will go a long way. Here’s how to style this chic headboard complete with custom nailheads. This luxurious bedroom design will make relaxing at home so much easier!

This compact seat will impress you double when styled as a set of two in your living room. These seats will also do well as a set at the foot of your bed. The lime green upholstery accented with blue piping makes this seat a unique original. Here’s how to add a dose of style and color to your living room with Carrington Court.

If you prefer a more contemporary look, style this tan leather chair with contrasting black decor for a truly eye-catching look.

Which of these Carrington Court furniture selections is your favorite? The Leather Parsons Chair, the Bergman Headboard, or the Keats Seat in lime green?
