We can’t get over how beautiful this kitchen is. The dark countertops paired with the soft gray color of the cabinets, and in that beautifully moody light, is just so inviting. You can check out the whole space here. Designed by Joanna Laven.

Today’s Last Week’s Links is a special round-up of a dozen throw pillows we can’t get enough of. Let us know what your favorites are in the comments!

1. The colors and pattern on this pillow are so perfect.

2. This black and ivory stripe is so good and making a case for black throws.

3. Every sofa needs a good lumbar and we think this one fits the bill.

4. We love handmade items for home decor and this pillow has the prettiest texture due to its handmade features.

5. A chunky knit throw pillow pairs perfectly with other patterned or solid pillows. It’s really the perfect companion and we especially love the detail in the knit of this pillow.

6. Leather is another great texture to add to your throw pillows. It warms up the space and elevates the design. We especially love this leather pillow.

7. Another great lumbar pillow with such pretty texture.

8. We love the simple stripe of this throw pillow and the fact that it’s made from Sunbrella fabric, so it’ll stand up to kids, pets, and basically anything you can throw at it.

9. Velvet is such a soft and inviting fabric, especially in home decor and we love the warmth of the color on this pillow as well.

10. Long lumbars for a bed can be really pricey, but not this one. It’s subtle stripe and fringed edge are so good too.

11. Speaking of bed-sized lumbars, we are absolutely in love with this one.

12. Linen is a timeless textile. This linen check pillow would be so good for bringing out during the cooler months or enjoying year-round.

Kaysville New Build – Pool House Reveal

After we had designed the Kaysville New Build inside and out our clients decided they wanted to add a pool house and we were more than happy to oblige! We were so on board with the stone structure because we knew it would add warmth and a historical feel to the white exterior of the main house.

The pool house is outfitted with a shower and a private door that leads into the bathroom.

We mirrored the custom wood doors that were on the main house to tie the pool house into the property and make the two structures feel cohesive.

Kaysville New Build – Exterior Reveal

When it came to the outside of our Kaysville new build we knew the exterior had to be just as amazing as the interior. We worked on several revisions of this exterior to get it just right. One of the biggest challenges was the size of the home. It is sometimes challenging to design a cohesive and overall visually pleasing facade when you are dealing with a larger home with multiple pitches, dormers, roof changes, chimneys etc. We stuck with our main farmhouse theme and brought in a color scheme of black, wood and white with stone and a red brick chimney mixed in.

Our Favorite Slipcovered Sofas

Today we’ve rounded-up our favorite slipcovered sofas! The best thing about these sofas is that their covers come off and can be washed. The fabrics used on slipcovers are generally more durable as well, making them tougher against stains and regular use wear. These are such a great option for families with kids or pets, or both! The fabrics are durable too, so they’ll last longer and look good doing it. Plus, we think the look of a slipcovered sofa just exudes comfort. Don’t you want to just curl up with a cozy blanket and a good book on any one of these? Or snuggle in to binge watch your favorite show(s)? We sure do!

This breakfast nook is so dreamy! We love this adorable tudor home designed by Heidi Caillier Design.

2. We love these teak and rattan stools! They would look especially good used as plant stands.

3. Ivy and Ro makes such cute headwraps for babies and moms too! Their fabrics are so soft, yet they hold really well. No slipping or sliding!

Nearly Natural Faux Trees

One of our favorite elements to add into a room is greenery. It’s amazing how a branch, flower, fern etc can really liven up a space. There is something so organic about seeing the colors of nature in your home when you walk into a room. We are so excited to be teaming up with Nearly Natural for this post. They offer a large variety of plants and trees to use in any room in your home!

In our search for plants we often frequent our local nurseries. The hard thing about a nursery is that they might not always have just what you are looking for in the exact size you are looking for. You are also limited with what types of plants do best where. For example, we really wanted an olive tree in this corner of this living room but the natural light isn’t ideal. Olive trees do best in south facing windows and this one faces north.

Fall Home Decor

Our approach to decorating for the season is to do so in a way that is less literal and more about adding warmth in a way that doesn’t detract from the existing decor. When thinking about the elements we wanted to bring in, we approached it by considering how we could change the feel of the space to go hand-in-hand with the way the changing season feels. The end result is a home that is layered with varying colors and textures, and that feels cozy and warm for the coming cooler months.

For the front porch, we layered greenery, fall florals, and varying squash vegetables that are quintessential to the season. Because we didn’t want to be too literal with the decor, we just used a select few of the pumpkins and gourds, sprinkling them around the the potted plants to help lead the front porch from summer into fall.

If nothing else, this book will you give you a greater appreciation for living in the time we do.

12. This simple blanket looks so cute and cozy.

Affordable Dining Chair and Table Round-up + Pairings

photography by Becky Kimball | design from our Mapleton New Build

We’ve rounded-up some amazing and affordable dining chairs for you all today! We’ve even included some pairings to mix up your side and end chairs. We love mixing up side and end chairs for a more custom and collected look, just like we did in our Mapleton new build pictured above.

Rather than doing chairs all around the table, mixing in a bench is a fun way to add more seating. Benches are a great option for families with kids too, plus you can always pull the bench out when you need additional seating elsewhere.
