Styled Sauder Credenza in the Living Room

April 23, 2015 by Aliesha

I recently acquired a new piece of furniture for our living room, and it has been SO fun to style and decorate! This is the Adept Storage Credenza from Sauder. Sauder creates on-trend, affordable furniture that is easy to style for your living space.

This piece is so classic and beautiful and styling it for the new Sauder Put Together Lookbook was a breeze! It was also simple to assemble in a couple of hours. (Little bit of trivia about me… I LOVE putting together furniture!)

The credenza is perfect for storing books, photo books, and other odds and ends in the baskets.

The beautiful light wood top is my favorite part! It looks rough and weathered, but it’s smooth. I love the combination of the wood top with the white lower half!

There is so much storage space in this credenza, but there is also so much opportunity to make it look pretty! When styling it, I varied the type of baskets I used to create interest. I also made sure to put the books on the shelves in interesting ways. I kept to a cohesive color scheme (the predominant colors of my living room) but tried to spread out the color throughout the various cubbies.

I know I’m going to have fun styling this piece seasonally as well. And how pretty would this piece be in a dining room or craft room as well?

Make sure you check out the Sauder Put Together Lookbook for more inspiration for how to style this credenza and other lovely Sauder furniture too!

Summer Floral Mantle

July 14, 2014 by Aliesha

This weekend I decorated my mantle for summer! I wanted something fresh and pretty to look at.

I spend lots of time reading books to the kids on the couch in the living room, so this is such a cheery sight while we snuggle.

The sunflowers, stock, and alstroemeria are from Harris Teeter, and the crepe myrtle and honeysuckle vines are from our back yard.

I don’t always have fresh flowers in my home, but when I do, I take LOTS of pictures!

Everyday Mantle Decor

March 14, 2014 by Aliesha

I love decorating my mantle seasonally, but it feels like there is a loooong stretch between Valentine’s Day and fall!

I like to pull out some “neutral” decorations that coordinate with my living room to display year-round.

sources: topiary: thrifted // books: Spurgeon, Niequist, and a thrift store find // bird: gift (Michael’s?) // picture: Big Lots // plant: TJ Maxx (I painted the box) // lantern: gift (TJ Maxx?) // fleur de lis: Hobby Lobby

I’m currently trying to decide whether to leave the picture propped up in the center of the mantle or to hang it on the wall directly above the mantle. What do you think?

Do you tend to decorate for all the seasons, or do you have an “everyday” decor for your home?
I do a mixture of both, but I tend to have an “everyday” style, with the exception of fall and Christmas.
