At this time I’m excited to share the latest additions to our coastal cottage front room!
Once we moved into this house 4 years in the past, it was already furnished—which made it really easy for us to downsize right here comfortably and save furnishings selections for a future time.
It’s such a small (however essential!) room, we didn’t need to rush to fill it.
Little by little, season by season, we used items we needed to make it cozy and cozy whereas making some modifications to the backdrops of the room (together with new flooring) and related areas (throughout the kitchen renovation!).
This yr, we lastly arrived at a much-anticipated chapter: updating our furnishings (we selected these stunning items from Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma. You will notice sources linked all through this put up and a supply checklist on the finish!
It’s not our first time investing in items from the Williams-Sonoma household of manufacturers (together with Pottery Barn), and it gained’t be our final!
In actual fact, we’ve had three favourite front room sofas through the years—throughout a number of completely different houses—and each single one has been from their collections. (The York, the Brooklyn Leather-based, and one other PB couch I purchased secondhand just like the Buchanan).
They’ve confirmed to be timeless in model and lengthy lasting high quality, and have aged fantastically by each day life and plenty of strikes.
The opposite sofas had been handed on to our household once we downsized—together with the slipcovered one we gave to my daughter, and the leather-based now within the Tiny Cottage for my mother!
So it was no shock to us that when the time got here to refresh this house, we returned to what we all know and love: first the Williams-Sonoma Residence loveseat, and now Pottery Barn chairs and ottomans (two of those in blue basic stripe and this one in chambray efficiency brushed heathered weave)!
This room is a small pass-through house used equally to what’s referred to as a Maintaining Room! Tucked beside the hearth close to the kitchen and eating nook, it’s the form of comfortable spot the place you collect for dialog earlier than or after dinner, curl up by the hearth, sip morning espresso, or get misplaced in a very good guide.
I had particular wants when selecting these items—nothing too outsized, however nonetheless inviting and comfy.
We additionally wished non-toxic materials and furnishings that would stand as much as pets, infants and on a regular basis life.
After a lot thought and analysis I landed on an exquisite striped cloth for our darling loveseat and a captivating pair of patterned wingback chairs from Pottery Barn.
Their basic form provides just a little drama and peak with out taking on an excessive amount of house—plus, I’ve at all times liked how wingbacks make you’re feeling tucked in, nearly cocooned. They’re good for our wants on this house.
Years in the past, I had the same pair of wingbacks and ottomans that I bought in a transfer and have regretted it ever since. These really feel like a long-awaited return house!
Despite the fact that we had been beginning contemporary with furnishings, I nonetheless wished the room to really feel basic and picked up.
I deliberately selected timeless items in coordinating (not matching) materials, with charming patterns moderately than all solids.
A comfortable mixture of textures and tones, a number of versatile ottomans (good for propping up toes and versatile further spots to perch wherever within the room) plus a sturdy wool rug that grounds the room with a comfortable sample—all of it got here collectively to create an area that feels heat, private, and so very livable!
I combined in some new equipment from Pottery Barn with treasures we’ve collected: an vintage bamboo cart from my mother, a marble topped classic washstand (a favourite Fb Market discover), and artwork that has a narrative to inform.
I’m thrilled that we lastly have this stunning new furnishings in right here! It feels so cozy and welcoming to our household.
We love that this room has come collectively piece by piece!
My favourite rooms at all times evolve over time, so after all, we’ll nonetheless be making small tweaks and seasonal modifications.
I consider {that a} true sanctuary isn’t completed. It needs to be a mirrored image of the individuals who stay there, so this room will inform the continued story of our lives.
I’m excited for the entire methods we will proceed to make this house and residential our personal (and I have already got a couple of extra updates to share with you!).
I’ll be sharing extra about our furnishings and accent decisions and this (ever evolving!) room quickly! I’m so grateful to Pottery Barn for partnering with me, gifting some favourite new items and equipment!
