I’m so excited to share my home with you over these next few weeks!
Along with fashion, I also have a huge passion for interior design!
My poor husband doesn’t have much of a say in this department…luckily he supports my gypsy/bright taste! 😉
Just like my clothing choices I love bold colors and mixing prints, you will also notice this trend throughout my home.
When designing this space in our apartment I started with this map, a gift from brother.
Since my husband and I LOVE to travel this was the best gift for us, often times we find ourselves in front of this map planning our next adventure!
This little corner of our apartment holds so many memories for us, just the perfect escape in our own home.
Next week I will be sharing our bedroom!

I love how you styled your bookcase! I want to do something like that in a home office one day. I also love the idea of hanging a map onto the wall, it’s so creative! I want to do that and then mark all of the places that i’ve been too on it. Thanks for sharing.

Love the way you’ve styled this entry way…it’s the perfect mix of colors and textures. It really shows your personality…as much as I can tell from the blog anyways! 🙂

I am so in love with your entryway! It is such a perfect mix of feminine meets travel meets “a guy lives here too”.

Finding a place for these Ikea bookshelves in my house has become a dream! I am in love with the way that you’ve done it. Would you mind telling me where you got the grey and white basket with the flowers on the top? Obsessed!
Thanks!
Sarah

This may be the cutest entryway I’ve ever seen! I love that you painted that shelving unit gold (and how cheap it is), and just all of the amazing details. You did an amazing job with this, and I’m so so excited to see the rest of your home! 🙂

Did you order your Ikea book case online? Or were you able to find and purchase it in store?

Can you tell me, did you use spray paint to paint it gold? If so, do you suggest a certain brand or do you have any pointers for someone who doesn’t typically use spray paint?
McKenna says
Hi Teanna!
I used a gold spray paint from Michael’s craft store, nothing special. I will say it took at least two coats, also be sure to spray away with some distance so it doesn’t run….hope that helps!
Jeanie says
That is so helpful! It was literally yesterday when I decided I wanted to try to paint an open shelf gold (I read how the clarity of an open bookshelf can help a small interior feel less cramped) and then I happened to see your photos on Pinterest. You showed me just how to do it and where to get the frame! Thanks!
Margo says
Could you please tell us the color name and brand of gold paint you used? There are several to choose from, but I really, really like the one you used. Thanks, and Have A Blessed Day.

Where is the world map from?

It’s from Ikea!
