Guest Post - Recently

Hello everyone!  I'm Emily from Recently, and I'm absolutely delighted to be guest posting on Second Street East today!  I'm sure you'll all agree with me wholeheartedly that Michelle is a genuine breath of fresh air and has gobs of talent to boot, so the fact that she asked me to guest post was an honor indeed.

I knew, of course, that Michelle's readers would go for nothing less than pure loveliness in a post, so I turned to one of my recent favorite rooms for inspiration...

This room from Adore Home instantly grabbed my attention with its array of textures and its cozy feel.

Since I'm in the middle of a bedroom makeover myself, I thought I would have a little fun and show you how to get the look for yourself.

The first step (and definitely my favorite!) is to decide on your most loved elements, and get your shop on...

lamp 1 // lamp 2 (lamp shade) // pink floyd fine art print // faux fur throw // matelasse coverlet // geometric pillow cover // linen pillow cover // side table // leopard slippers

If you're like me, and catching a good bargain makes you giddy, you'll imagine my excitement at finding a lower priced version of my favorite element in this bedroom, the lamp, at Kirklands's for only $70!  With only a simple switch of the lamp shade we have the same look for so much less!

Now that you've found what you love, it's time to make this room your own...

As you can see, an exact replica isn't necessary, just similar components that will give you the same comfy feel and relaxed glamor of the look you love.
And there you have it!  A cozy place to rest your head, made just for you!

Michelle, thank you so much for having me today!  Hope you loved it!
