I love stumbling across a beautifully decorated home, and that’s what happened today when scouring Sarah Reilly’s blog, Where the Sidewalk Begins. It was featured on The Everygirl in the Spring, and all I’ve got to say is: the girl’s got style. My favorite touches are the little jewelry bowls (similar here), “For Like Ever” decor (found here), and the gorgeous pillows on the couch.
Draping your Jewels
When I moved into Apt. 335, I knew I wanted a unique way to hang my jewelry (instead of my typical over-the-door hanger). I went to Anthro, bought some fun, mismatched door handles, went to Home Depot, got them to cut me a piece of wood, bought myself some paint, and went to town. Okay, so Sasha ended up having to help with the drilling, but still! The final product is below 🙂 In hindsight, I would have preferred a piece of salvaged wood, but that can be done next time. I think my favorite jewelry holder is the first picture below! I want to recreate that whole setup for my first house.
P.S. How awesome is that clipboard jewelry display? Obsessed.
Simple Shelf
I was browsing on the Anthropologie website when I found a painting by Claire Desjardins that I adore. It’s titled ‘Restless,’ and while I’m not normally a big abstract art person, I love the colors and asymmetry in this piece. It’s only a hot $3,000, so I may need to start saving. Pair it with an Anthro vase and Restoration Hardware shelf, and you’ve got yourself a very simple, beautiful shelf.

Dream Bigger
I saw this quote on Paper Nest by Lesa and am obviously obsessed. It reminds me of {m’s} poster in our apartment, which I also love.
The Stylish Sofa Search
I’ve got house decorating on my mind. I’m still holding out for the Manor (can hopefully explain later!). As for now, I’m on a classic yet notable, comfy sofa search. What do you think about the finds below? I just adore the first one. Also, check out the last picture – why do blue chevrons pop up in all of my favorite findings? It must be fate.
