Guest Prep: Beautiful Holiday Home Updates w/ Walmart.com

October 25, 2018

Welcome! With the holidays just around the corner, I’ve been sprucing up my home. I love to entertain during the holidays. It gives me the chance to celebrate and enjoy the people I love. It’s this time of year that my dining area gets the most use. Holiday dinners with family and friends are some of my family’s fondest memories. With this in mind, I decided to give my dining area a little makeover.

I love to create a modern/bohemian mix when designing my home. My favorite new addition to my dining room are these woven chairs, available at Walmart.com. The chairs’ classic, mid-century lines paired with the laced strapping were the perfect fit for this space. Their light natural wood color is a great contrast to bold, black dining table.

To give the space a festive, cozy feel, I added some soft, faux fur rugs thrown over the chairs. It’s an easy way to accessorize the space, dressing it up a little. I also found these rugs affordably at Walmart.com.

Here is a little tip:

Walmart.com is a great place to shop while prepping your homes for the holidays. They have a huge selection of stylish, budget-friendly furniture and accessories to decorate your spaces. Whether you love, modern, coastal, farmhouse or bohemian styles, you can shop easily for any look at Walmart.com. I recommend shopping online here, where you can quickly and effortlessly find beautiful, affordable pieces according to your style. You will find great items your list and even more fun inspirations to update your homes. Plus, orders over $35 ship for FREE! This is a huge perk!!!

Below I’ve rounded up some of my recent favorite finds while shopping on Walmart.com. I hope you enjoy this great new resources for prepping your homes for the holidays. When your guests arrive they won’t believe you’ve transformed your spaces by shopping online at Walmart!! Have a great day.

Before + After: Cafe Hermosa Project

March 28, 2018

Today I am excited to share the before and after images of my Cafe Hermosa Project. Recently voted “SC’s Best New Restaurant.” This is a perfect little cafe with amazing food, and I was honored to be part of it. Cafe owners, Jamie and Joey Madison, have had a successful Italian restaurant named Fratello’s for years. Jamie had a wonderful idea to open another restaurant featuring a fresh, healthy menu, full of positive energy where friends could gather for lunch. I was so flattered when she came to me to execute her vision. Together, we created a crisp interior with a modern bohemian vibe that reflects Jamie’s individual style and the sunny Southern California beach town of San Clemente.

Estillo Project – Modern Coastal Dining Room

March 27, 2017

Today, I am excited to share more details of our Estillo Project. If you missed it, catch up on the master bedroom and kitchen, and then continue with today’s dining room reveal. The vision for this home was a fresh take on a coastal vibe and we got the look in the dining room with layered whites, organic texture, and ocean blues. Take a peek!

The walls and ceiling of this fresh white space are Benjamin Moore’s Swiss Coffee. As I’ve shared before, this is the perfect paint choice if you want your white space to feel warm. The creamier white paired with hand-distressed oak floors, Provenza Desert Haze, create an inviting foundation for the space.

The rug we selected for the space is a work of art by Eskayel. The design has the feel of ocean waves at the beach. This rug has a similar organic look, as does this option.

Beautiful, clean-lined dining furniture adds texture, without detracting from the rug. We chose a rustic wood dining table with modern simplicity and paired it with woven marine rope dining chairs from Palecek (an affordable woven option here).

A pair of faceted brass and glass pendant lights adds light to the room. We love these pendants because they make a statement while maintaining an unobtrusive airy quality. There are several affordable sources to get this look, if you like it check out these options here, here, and here.

White table lamps draped in coastal wooden beads are a beautiful pairing with the modern pendants. The lamps sit on a modern rustic carved wood sideboard. A stunning ocean wave print (giclee from original oil painting) by Todd Kenyon of Pure Laguna Beach completes the coastal look and adds beautiful color to the white walls.

The dining room is clean and simple, but statement pieces add color, texture and beauty. Thank you for taking a look into this project with me! To get the look, see the sources below.

Design Trend: Dining Spaces w/ Black Accents

March 16, 2017

Where we dine are some of the most important spaces in our homes. Whether they are smaller kitchen nooks or larger dining rooms these spaces are for gathering, refueling and good conversation. I love creating beautiful dining spaces and have been pinning for upcoming projects with these rooms in mind. One of the my favorite trends, that I’ve been using in my own designs, is the use of bold black accents to give these spaces polished, sophisticated detail. In the following spaces you will see how black creates beautiful contrast and acts as a great neutral that binds the room. I hope you enjoy this wonderful trend and will maybe will find a way to incorporate it into your own homes. Enjoy!

Las Palmas Project Living + Dining Room

February 15, 2017

Last week I shared the fresh white kitchen of my coastal bohemian Las Palmas Project. Today, I am excited to continue the tour with the living and dining rooms. Like the kitchen, these spaces have clean, neutral foundations layered with organic texture, rich color, and hints of black for modern polish. Take a peek inside this beautiful modern bohemian coastal home.

In the living room, we took advantage of the light-filled room by layering whites. We started with walls painted Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and a beautiful vintage kilim in black and white stripe, added two large white linen sofas, and custom white drapes. The living room is open to the second story which creates a pretty airiness, but the drapes help define the space and keep it from feeling cavernous.

From the white foundation, we added different colors and textures to create warmth and interest. Black and brass accents keep the space modern, while warm natural woods of the coffee and side tables create an organic coastal feel.

Vintage textiles bring pattern to the space. I love this large-scale framed textile on the wall paired with mudcloth throw pillows.

Black leather sling chairs across from folding x-base stools round out the seating and create an eclectic, casual vibe.

BECKI OWENS Las Palmas Dining Room + Entry

A cozy dining nook sits open to the entry. We kept the entire dining table design natural and relied on texture rather than color to add interest. A round natural oak table is paired with these awesome woven dining chairs and a the chandelier made of intricate cocoa beads. The door painted in Benjamin Moore Black Satin adds contrast to the light woods in the space.

In an open-concept space, lighting can define each area. This statement light makes the dining space feel separate and unique from the rest of the room. For tips on how to hang your own statement light, check out this post here.

The light woods contrast with the black front door and buffet. Earthy wood serving bowls and glass jars add a touch of coastal to the space.
