Progress Peeks: Our New House

Things are moving along design wise here at the new house, I’ll bring you all up to date (in case you might’ve missed it on Instagram).

Back in January, we were trying to figure out which direction to go with our front stair runner, after many different options (all seen here) and along with the help of Muse Interiors, we finally decided to go in a different route from the original selections and went with “Tacori” by Stark carpet (seen above and below). We all love the way it looks (it even reminds us a little of our old front stair runner, which we also loved).

Masculine Interior Design

Masculine interior design style is the subject of today’s post.

Think home decor with a more traditionally masculine approach.

What is Masculine Interior Design?

 
I tend to gravitate towards more feminine decor…
 
Pieces with flowers and leopard prints will always catch my eye.
 
However, the best interiors are the ones that have a mix of both feminine and masculine details.
 
This mix is usually what makes makes for a more diplomatic approach to designing a home for many couples as well.
 
With this is mind, here are some really handsome recent finds…
 
These are the first of many as we attempt to finish up the design of my husband’s home office.
 
When it comes to traditional masculine interior design themes, think bold brass pieces, wood stain items, dark colors and more straight lines.

Progress In Florida

 
 
 
It’s been a while since I’ve done a post on the progress we’ve made on the decor down at our vacation home in Florida (although I do tend to document these things over on Instagram).
 
We accomplished a lot during our most recent trip down this past March.Home improvements during our vacation is never high on my family’s list, but somehow we squeezed in a few projects during our stay. 

We got some more art on the walls and managed to finish the whole dining room area.

A new faucet was finally purchased and installed in the kitchen and a lot of little details and accessories fell into place in the living room and guest room.

 
I think we are about two to three trips away from having our little home away from home fully completed!
