Reader Design: Beverly's Trendy Home Ensemble

We know, we know - it's been TOO LONG since we've done a Friday reader design.  We took a brief hiatus for the Sweet Clover sale but don't worry.  We've been saving a winning look for a juicy StyleMutt Spaces feature.   If you are new to this little corner of the interwebs (welcome!), almost every Friday we like to feature a reader's home from anywhere around the world on our Spaces.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, these reader designs are the jewel in our StyleMutt crown. And we just can't get enough.  So if you love your home, we want to share it!  Just post your photos on our Facebook page or tag your instagram pics with #stylemuttspaces and we'll contact you with further details.  

Today's feature is a fun one FOR SURE.  Fashion consultant Beverly (@LuLaRoe_beverlylilly)  has perfectly translated her fun and flirty personal fashion sense into her home decor!

From Beverly:

When it comes to decorating my home, I try to think of it like an outfit. What pops? What can I mix and match? What is timeless? I love fashion and putting together outfits comes easy to me, but it takes me a while to decide on decor.  For instance, our living room walls have been blank over the last year (we moved in last July) because I had no idea what to put on them. I just knew it needed to be large.

I would describe my style as rustic chic. Funny story, the sticks laying against the wall I bought at TJMAXX. When my husband saw them in the house, he said, "Please tell me you found those in the backyard." Not exactly, but they were too perfect not to buy!!!

Bev, I've bought sticks before too so you are not alone ;)  And hanging a giant retro coral door on the wall is like my dream.  MY DREAM people!!!  It the perfect large element to balance out the large sectional.

When it comes to decorating, I love incorporating meaningful pieces to my decor. Through out our living room there are pieces from my grandmother's river house that I inherited. One of my favorite pieces is her bible.

When Bev posted this pic on her facebook of these amazing DIY industrial pipe shelves, practically begged her to showcase her home.  Floating them above the couch is a great minimal-furniture-footprint alternative to Chelsea's wall unit.  Snaps for Bev (and her husband Craig who helped with install).

Gah!  I can't get over the mid-century door and windows for dayssssssss!

I love this space because it feels so inviting where meaningful conversations can take place. My husband and I want our house to be a space for others and this room allows for many people to gather. 

Guys, I've known Bev since college and I have to say her most noticeable trait is her killer confidence.  But what I love the most about Bev is that she's made it her mission to give women everywhere that same confidence.  Which is why it's PLUM PERFECT that she's the newest fashion consultant for LuLaRoe in the Hampton Roads area  (I'm jealous of you 757 area code.  Tres jealous).  

Thank you Bev (and Craig) for letting us into your home!  I hope you will host a pop up LuLaRoe boutique in the DC metro area soon so I can comb through your treasure trove of dresses, skirts, tops, and epic printed leggings! And if you're not already in the fashion loop, follow Bev (@lularoe_beverlylilly on instagram) for more flirty fun fashion!!!

Happiest of weekends to you friends, 

Reader Design: Holli's Collection of Curiosities

Well, well, well, it's that time of the week again! It's been a full Summer and we've missed a Friday Reader Design here or there, but it is truly a delight when we get to share your spaces! Sharing inspiring work from our readers, friends, and family is one of the propelling elements driving StyleMutt Home forward! Sharing is easy - just post your home photos to our Facebook page or tag #stylemuttspaces on Instagram! Then we'll contact you about featuring your home here on the blog!

So whadya say; ready to take a tour?! Our gracious host du jour is Holli - a truly inspired collector with a sharp eye for the whimsical, romantic, vintage and rustic. She's not afraid to mix styles and has thoughtfully layered her home with collections and finds from all over!

From Holli:

 Our home represents my love for farmhouse/vintage/industrial chic style! I love to collect silver especially. Below is our front door with my favorite Mora clock...slightly obsessed with clocks. 

A DIY makeover I did on an outdated hall-tree now greets you in our foyer.

My favorite gallery wall with a lot of unique finds, a London Bus Roll, Vintage Scale face, Antique Cash Register, clock, one of many "R's" around the house.

Did I also mention I LOVE numbers and letters! I really, really do!

I call this my cabinet of curiosities - I fill it will treasures thrifted and found.

We turned our formal dining room into a craft/piano room. It has a whimsical victorian feel with decor touches coming from Alice in Wonderland. So we call it the "Alice" room.

This is our living room which is where we spend the most time. It's filled with a mix of Antiques and Vintage finds. I love mixing the old with the new. People describe it as cozy and that's the best compliment ever.

Everything in this photos speaks to me...the giant wall canvas depicting an old London Market, the chandelier which was a DIY fixer-upper and the wood crate filled with bottles. I love bottles. 

Living room coffee table...because I like "different" textures in a room.

Our farmhouse dining table with a few of my favorite bottles.

What an amazing tour! Thank you so much for opening your beautiful red door to us, Holli! You can follow Holli's collecting and decorating adventures on Instagram @beesnburlap!

Thank you all for stopping by and have a beautiful weekend!

Reader Design: Lindsay's Layers of Pattern

You guys, I need to apologize. I feel like the boy who cried wolf, except I'm the girl who cried, "Oh my word, you would not BELIEVE this week's Reader Design - epiiiiiic!" I realize I get carried away in my excitement, but you just have to trust it's sincere. Every. Single. Time. 

With that said, I'm particularly giddy today to be sharing the home of one of my ultimate design crushes. I've been following Lindsay of The White Buffalo Styling Co. for quite some time now, (DO NOT search The White Buffalo - totally different thing. Yiiiiiiikes....), and she is my eclectic hero. She's bohemian but not in the messy, disorganized way; she's eclectic, but with intentionality; she's cool, but not in the 'too cool for school' kind of way. Her home exudes warmth and hospitality, but with great ease and flow. It's such a delight to get to share this incredible lady's home, tucked back in Greenville, NC!

From Lindsay

I'm so honored to be sharing my home with all of you lovely readers today!  For me, designing your home is a personal journey.  I'm a firm believer that the only people who need to approve of your home and your style is you.  

The White Buffalo is all about finding and embracing your unique and personal style.  When designing rooms in our home, I try to live by my mantra, "Fly Your Style Freak Flag."  I love mixing the unexpected.  I have a very eclectic style where I pair rustic touches with modern and bohemian color and flair.

 Every room in my home has to have warm wood, white, texture, and a pop of color.  As you see in this little home tour, that always looks different in each room.  

Love this simple formula, Lindsay! Let's check that list off in the bedroom here:
Warm wood --> Ridiculous log headboard 
White --> Walls and base bedding
Texture --> Hello, rug of my feet's dreams
Pop of color --> Well let's see, green nighstand, multi-blue quilt, multi-striped lumbar pillow, shams, rug :)

Our little Rosie's nursery is a favorite.  I went bold with the kilim painted wall and the floral curtains, but balanced it with a neutral palette elsewhere.

These are not your grandma's floral curtains, people. Say hello to modern day flower patterns!

We're in the process of renovating and designing a new home we've deemed The Buffalo Bungalow.  I'm pushing my design boundaries with this one and am thrilled with where it's headed.  Make sure you follow along with our renovation journey for a lot of eclectic style!  

Oh, you know I'll be there! Every shameless step of the way! Thank you so much, Lindsay, for this perfectly sweet peek into your beautiful home. Hoping we'll be able to persuade you to come back and share a bit of The Buffalo Bungalow once it's finished! 

Be sure to hop over and enjoy the excitement at The White Buffalo Styling Co. blog and @thewhitebuffalostylingco!

Thank you all so much for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!
