The Citizenry: Globally Inspired Decor

0-2-2.jpeg

I remember going to a cozy dinner with The Citizenry team in Malibu last year, and my love for them immediately expanded. Not only are their pieces gorgeous, meaningful and beautifully hand-picked, but their mission aligns so much with mine: Make Your Home a Sanctuary.They believe that our homes should be a reflection of the journey we take, which I think is the most purposeful perspective on how to design, create, and enjoy the place you reside to the fullest capacity. They travel the world to develop the exclusive collections of home goods - can it get any better? When I started designing our home and as I get older, the more I want everything in it to mean something. There is so much value in that and a basket just isn't a plain basket when it has a story, a purpose, and soul to it.They partner with master artisans, blending a modern style with their time-tested techniques. As they travel to each country and only use local materials, the relationships have become entirely sustainable. Oh! And what is even better? They set out to celebrate the people behind the products - it is a way to share their stories with you!

 I hope you've been enjoying our series on Making A Home. Jase and I have been so grateful for this process, and it has been even more special to share it with you each week on the blog! Stay tuned for more pictures to come, including a look at our before and afters of our home renovation.

AllModern for a Cozy Backyard

0-13.jpeg

So excited to share another week with you on Making A Home. We've been in a series on the blog about Jase and I's process of renovating our home, and it's been so much fun to be able to share each week with you a different area of our house as well as brands and products we've come to love along the way!One of the things that attracted us most to our home was the backyard. Jase and I both love spending time in nature. There is something about stepping outside that immediately brings a sense of peace, calm, and simplicity. When friends are over or family is in town, we cherish the time in the backyard because it seems to dissipate distractions and leads to the sweetest memories and meaningful conversations.One of the most special things about moving into our house has been making it fitting to the lifestyle we value and prioritize; vitamin D, conversations, space for vulnerability, slowing down, enjoying nature, fun summer evenings outside, and days by the pool!Has anyone else noticed that quality outdoor furniture can be incredibly expensive? It was quite a mind-blowing realization for us recently, but I am all about researching to find a solution. I came upon AllModern and was completely beside myself with excitement. They have the most beautiful outdoor furniture that lends to creating such cozy spaces outside. We are over the moon about the comfy chairs behind the fireplace and sit in the sofa and chairs almost every evening taking in the quiet and enjoy the restful space. We are so looking forward to enjoying meals outside with our friends and family on the long dining table. It fits perfectly in this area and brings the whole area together.

Recap: the Blueprint Event in Dallas.

First of all, Blue Print might be the most darling furniture store in Dallas. It sits on the cutest street that is filled with so much character, and the talent of interior design inside this gem of a spot is on another level. It truly is inspiring and gives me so many design ideas for our own house!Lauren Sims and I had so much fun hosting this event with two of the precious owners, Cynthia and Leslie. We took a break from mingling with the most lovely ladies and discussed fall fashion trends and for the most fun part - Cynthia and Leslie filled us in on where interior trends are heading. Thank goodness it doesn't shift as fast as the sartorial world - we would be broke! They also gave us tips on how to design well. The keys: have good foundational pieces and start with a neutral palette (hint hint: white walls allow for fabulous textures and colors in fabric and furniture).Last night was such a special time! Thanks for everyone who came out to join! xx4KUhVEmCUTB2ogHSS1txKCB-3OcPz2fyg-M_Cydc2qU_gb_gWex1Ft8RBpTQF26qBBxFybKxdnxxysIHbwjBmE 36UsO77XB1p3aVMNfhY1bidTjRly00XFFIgNmG6E3q8 _-zsdBBKRnNQJV7MvSplQVt7sbF00vWoLzxyRuw1XT0bSWVKhj-T9jzpr-tFNNY8TI9ZIEqP5Vq3jhqKxOtUXE G5Rutdb8IwYHyxnhrtEFJJO7BRTfWYSTP529qkmoBrQ IunbnourG0qhPLOjqLqHoNhog-Eh7cpvvRQ5vzZpNnkvtVb0F8ef1C8-Ffmfl1WxSwRJQPzufDcJXwQpqz8sus kFDdMT42t1qYa9uRp_PbyfI0lFkUZIv4OYY_hkNwrOE
