I can only live with one look so long and recently changed up our mantel from a simple, symmetrical look to something more layered. I ordered one of the art prints from Etsy and used a vintage frame I’ve had for a while. The diagonal print is the easiest DIY, and it’s in a large IKEA Ribba frame. You can watch a quick step by step of how I layered our mantel (and hearth) here.

I love this designer’s layered apartment and just started following her on Instagram. I don’t think I’d ever do it, but I find this process fascinating. On the flip side, a designer’s Instagram filled with clean, neutral spaces. More pretty neutrals and cozy spaces in this designer’s portfolio.

It was time to upgrade to something a little heftier and this three-drawer white chest from Wayfair fit the bill.

It’s funny how you buy less when you avoid those sneaky Instagram ads.) Of all the good things I discovered in March, the warmer weather and Spring green all around us here in NC is by far the best. It’s matte but surprisingly not drying and the colors are bright and buildable. If you’re looking for a family friendly rug, this navy animal print is good looking–and on sale.
