Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – Home

by 4 Comments

Hello pretties,

Yes, I know I know, everybody is talking about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Why? It is a good sale which includes luxury items they may never or infrequently go on sale. Of course, loads of good fashion, but today I’m sharing some of my favorite home related picks in the sale.

Good huh! Gold is definitely going strong in home decor, I just love the gold serving pieces from Nordstrom beautiful bedding from Ted Baker, and who doesn’t love a good smell goods like from diptyque! I had a ball perusing all the goodies and saw a few I would love to snag! Are you browsing or shopping the sale? Any favorites?

Mellow Yellow – Color Trends

by 24 Comments

yellow-color-trend-robincharmagne
Hello pretties,
Of course I’m talking about Beyonce…again. Yellow appears to be the color trend that she really gravitates toward in her videos and performances. Most recently at Beychella and the infamous Hold Up video from the Lemonade album. Beyonce wore a beautiful flowy, dreamy Roberto Cavalli dress, with layers and layers of ruffles. In celebration of yellow, I hand picked some finds for home and fashion in this soft but sexy color.

Yellow is fast becoming a favorite. I use it prominently in my dining room and I have added a few yellow pieces to my collection of cute tops. It can be hard to wear if the shade is too light for your complexion, just looks faded. If you are going to try yellow, I say be bold with it and get a strong yellow. You can pair it with black or white or add another color for interest like, green, brown, or red. Ease into this sunny, fun color with an accent piece like a bright crossbody handbag or summer slides or in your home with a rug or pillows.

Do you rock yellow in your home or in fashion?

How To Add Style To House Plants

by 8 Comments

plant-stand-ideas-robincharmagne

Hello pretties,
My Mom loves playing in the dirt with flowers, trees, mulch and such, but she can really grow house plants. I like yard work too but I was never really into house plants until I was gifted a peace lily a couple of years ago. The peace lily is a super popular and inexpensive house plant with pretty white blooms. I took pretty good care of it until I went on vacation and when I came back, she had pretty much died. I watered here and stuff but she was gone. So off to Lowe’s I went shopping for a new plant – looking for something super hardy that, like a cat, could take care of itself for the most part LOL. I found this beauty, a chinese evergreen. The tag on it said plants of steel and that you could go on a two week vacation and the plant would be fine. Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. I like this plant, it has large, dark green leaves and she has been thriving!

Now I love the heavy decorative pot I have her living in right now and the dark color works well with my living room, but I really want something with more oomph, more jazzy, so I started looking for ideas. I saw this stand on my favorite idea source Houzz! The elegance and height of this plant stand adds something special to a simple space.

Shop Plant Stands

This house plant styling is pretty fancy in this home but a stand is the look I am going for with this plant vs. just sitting it in a pot. My favorite are the metal stands, which are good for adding texture to a room. The two choices from the Target Threshold collection are really nice and affordable. Do you have any house plants and how do you display them in your home?

P.S. The peace lily might be making a comeback…saw some tiny greenery on it!

Storage DIY – Home Decor

by 9 Comments


Season’s Greetings pretties,
It is #housesprucing time!! Getting the house ready for the Christmas tree, lights, ornaments, stockings and all things festive. I have way more Christmas decoration than the law allows and I store it all over the house, including this cabinet that is actually a television stand. But, I hate that you can see all my home decor goodies and stored decorations through the glass doors of this cabinet. So I decided to cover the doors with a wall covering from Target.

Loads of storage space

Peel and Stick wall covering from Target

Sort of a floral, yeah a floral

Easy to peel and stick

Just 3 tools

Size it

Measure it

Cut it

Remove backing and stick

Smooth out the bubbles

One side done

I like it

This project was super easy and took about 20 minutes. This wall covering is Chantilly and retails for $29.99 per roll. Devine makes wall covering in a variety of patterns and colors and it is repositionable and removable. After the holiday season, I can just peel it off and leave the glass doors clear or add another covering in a different pattern. This furniture piece will match the festive feel in the room once all the Christmas decor is finished. Now to cover the other glass door!

Have you used a removable wall covering for furniture pieces?

Pineapple Passion

by 4 Comments

Hello pretties,
Last Spring/Summer I had a love affair with lemons and this year I have a passion for pineapples. Regarded as a symbol of hospitality, the pineapple is a favorite for adding Spring/Summer to your home. I know, I know you think it’s kitschy, but I promise I picked some really cute, functional home decor goodies all under $25 bucks.

Plaid Christmas – Home Decor

by 2 Comments

plaid-decor-on-robincharmagne
Hello pretties,
Last week’s plaid OOTD inspired today’s post. This beautiful criss-crossed horizontal and vertical fabric comes in a variety of colors but most popular for the holidays is the red and green pattern. You can easily incorporate plaid into your home decor. I have handpicked some holiday home decor pieces in plaid, take a peek…

So many options to choose from – traditional red/green, red/green/black or even pastel plaids. A Christmas tree adorned in plaid ornaments or ribbon is perfect. Another easy option is a candle packaged in plaid fabric, very subtle. But my favorite is a plaid tablescape with a table runner, plates, or napkins in this festive print. I am in love with this vignette from Houzz.

5 Ways To Get Ready For Cuddle Season

by Leave a Comment

cuddle-time-robincharmagne

Cuddle time is here, but you would not know it because the high for today is near the 80’s in The A today. But it is coming so let’s get ready for a true Netflix and Chill nights! Here are 5 ways to get you and your home ready!

1 – Nothing is better than walking into a well scented room. Get your home smelling good with cinnamon candles or fill a pretty dish with potpourri.

2 – Cuddling requires a pretty throw for your couch or sectional. You and your special someone will be nice and cozy.

3 – Bring the outside in. Gather up some leaves, pine-cones or nuts to create that fall feel indoors. Layer in a pretty vase to add to the ambiance.

4- S’mores are the perfect cuddling snack. Have fun building and sharing this yummy treat.

5 – Plaid pjs scream fall and are super soft for getting up close and personal.

I do hope the air starts to get crisp so we have stay indoors to reconnect. What movie would you recommend for an evening of cuddling?

Hello pretties,
There is a Fall nip in the air here in The A so I thought it was a good time for some seasonal decorating. Adding a decor feature to the front door is a good way to enhance your home’s exterior. Take a peek…

Start with a wreath shell, which can be metal or twig, or even styrofoam

Decorative picks

Ribbon

This project was inspired by @faithnista and was not hard at all. I was lucky to get all the supplies at Hobby Lobby for 40% off during a fab sale except the “R” which I purchased last season. Y’all know my DIYs are 15 minutes or less, so it took no time to put this wreath together. I love the way it turned out and since it doesn’t scream Halloween or Thanksgiving, my front door will be dressed up for several weeks. I am already thinking of ideas for a Christmas holiday door.

Do you decorate your front door for the season or a holiday?

Fur Baby – More Or Less

by 4 Comments

Hi Pretties,
Fur Chairs are all the rage right now. A warm seat as the temps begin to drop! This chair is a modern luxe look in gold and sheepskin. Fur might ring memories of furry dice; but it can really add texture to an otherwise flat space.

SHOP THE LOOK

CHAIR 1//CHAIR 2

Both chairs are pricey but one will set you back just a bit less. When you really want to add something special to your space, add a pretty fur baby like this chair. Are you adding fur to your decor?
