Quick Room Refresh (and the Serena & Lily Sale!)

For years I’ve always said that I could choose just one store from which to decorate my entire home, it would be Serena & Lily. Each piece embodies the easy, breezy coastal style I adore. After all, it’s not the things in your home that make a room ‘decorated’, it’s how the space makes you feel. This style makes me feel calm, happy and at peace– and turns my home into a true haven where I can relax with my family and friends.

My friends at Serena & Lily sent a few pieces my way for a quick room refresh. I focused on updating the sitting area off of our master bedroom, which we affectionately dubbed ‘the pajama lounge.’ It’s where we relax at the end of a long day, either with a glass of wine and binge-watching Netflix with my husband or some nights with a favorite movie and the kids snuggled around us.

Speaking of family, today through October 14, 2019, Serena & Lily is having their always anticipated Friends and Family sale where you’ll find 20% off in stores and online with the code BEOURGUEST. It’s a great chance to grab a piece that you may have wanted for awhile– me for, it was these gorgeous throw pillows and soft Palermo throw.

I still remember when we first moved into our house and I had the Serena & Lily catalog sitting on our coffee table, dogearred like crazy. Casey walked and he said, ‘this is SO our style.’ What he meant is we love coastal living, it’s our dream to retire somewhere by the sea. And despite what his closest and office look like at the moment (STUFFED), he’s really into a minimalist vibe.

This part of our bedroom is a total blank slate at the moment (quite literally, white walls and a white couch!) so the blue popped perfectly. We plan to paint and add bookshelves and a coffee table and some art soon, but until then, a mini-makeover is JUST what was needed in this (formerly) lackluster space.

These pillows are heirloom quality pieces, and the difference is in the details. The thick texture, the hidden zippers, the quality construction.

Take these tassels, for instance. LOVE the double tier and gold thread. That’s truly exceptional quality! It makes my little decorating lovin’ heart skip a beat.

This roundup of Coastal Living pieces gives me all the feels. If I can’t own a house at the beach, at least I can pretend with the casual, nature inspired colors and texture. Capiz, raffia, and a touch of glam in the form of gold accents– if you know me well, you know organic coastal decor with a twist of glam is SO ME!

I’m using this opportunity to snag a few favorites I’ve had my eye on for, like, EVER… such as this outdoor rattan hanging chair for cozying up with a good book on our new three season porch:

And these woven pendant lights I plan to install in our master bathroom for an elevated beachy vibe that will make an everyday bathroom feel like a spa retreat:

If you’ve been eyeing up favorites from Serena & Lily, now’s the time to invest in them… for 20% off (don’t forget the code, BEOURGUEST). Here’s a few of the pieces I’ve been watching for awhile!

Slowly but surely, our house is becoming a home– a home that’s a true retreat and embodies a relaxed yet elevated vibe. Summer may be on its way out, calendar-wise… but I can hold it in my heart and home all year long. 😉
