Living Room Summer Refresh Mood Board

Hello Hello!! I hope y’all had a fantastic weekend, we were busy working on some home projects. It’s so fun to see things starting to come together. Our fireplace got a fun little facelift recently, I can’t wait to share it with y’all soon!

But, today I wanted to talk about my Summer Refresh in our main living room. I’m so excited because in a few short weeks I’ll be teaming up with some of my favorite blogging friends to bring you a Summer Home Tour, it’s going to be fabulous!

Since I’m finding it hard to contain my excitement, I thought it’d be fun to share my ideas with y’all ahead of time so today I’m sharing my mood board for the room with all the links, incase you want to check out the products I’ve shopped around for. I used Polyvore to create my mood board and once I knew the look I was going for I got to work finding pieces that fit the look I was going for.

Xander Chair – World Market  – I’ve been dreaming about this hair for months now, I’m hoping some day soon I’ll be able to purchase it for our living room.

Nearly Natural Fiddle Leaf Fig – Walmart  Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree – World Market  Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Plant – Target

My faux fiddle it from Michaels and I was able to use a coupon for 40% off so if you’re able I would check there but if you don’t have any luck I shopped around for you and found some nice alternatives!

Velvet Throw Pillow Cover – Target – I already have this cover and totally love it! It’s definitely worth the $8 I paid for it (on sale)

Crosby Schoolhouse Floor Lamp  – I have this light as well and it’s even prettier in person!

Blue Pillow Covers – sadly the blue pillow covers that I wanted and have pictured here are no longer available…so I shopped around and found these pretty navy ones from Amazon that received decent reviews!

MASTHOLMEN side table – IKEA – I have a small rattan stool that I love but I bought it second hand at an antique store. I love this one from IKEA as an alternative!

Flatweave Rug – RUGS USA  – this is the link to the rug I currently have in my living room (different from the one pictured)

nuLOOM Handmade Flatweave Rug – Overstock  – I shopped around and found this one, similar to the one pictured

I also found a similar upholstered bench to the one that I have pictured, and it’s gorg.eous!! You can see it here at  Hayneedle.com  Belham Living Darby Mid Century Upholstered Bench

So there you have it, a little peek at my plans for our living room Summer Refresh! I’m so excited to get started and share the finished space with y’all!

As always you can find me on Instagram @thehomemakingmomma here 

Blessings Friends!

Mind the gap: Fit IKEA MALM over a tall baseboard

I forgot one thing when I ordered the MALM dresser : The baseboards in my apartment are very tall and very wide. So, when I installed it, I had a 4 cm gap between the wall and the back of the cabinet which was not aesthetically possible for me. As it is not possible to cut the back of dresser at the bottom to leave room for the tall baseboard, I decided that MALM should be raised. And it was much simpler than I had imagined. You’ll need: A MALM dresser (mine is a 6-drawer chest) Six oak bed legs (I think five would have been enough, but while I was there …) 6 mounting plates A piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the cabinet (I went to the hardware store next door, it cost me less than 5€) Screws White adhesive edging tape How to raise the MALM dresser above a tall baseboard Place the MALM upside down. Fix the plywood onto the underside of the MALM with screws. Predrill holes for the leg screws (if you have the same baseboard problem as me, make sure you measur...

Brighten up: A reading lamp the book lover will love

We already had a MAGNARP table lamp in the living room, but we were missing a reading lamp next to our couch. For a standing MAGNARP floor lamp, we didn’t have space. And the available other IKEA lamps were not for our taste. I already saw solutions with FRÄCK , so I decided to make my own wall mounted reading light, fused with MAGNARP. Here goes: IKEA items used: Steps for an IKEA wall mounted reading light: 1. Take apart both sets. 2. Cut the power line of the MAGNARP to be able to pull it out from the pipe. (Cut at both ends of the switch) 3. Cut the pipe. Besides the threaded part which goes inside the bulb socket you I will need approximate 5mm. 4. Cut M10 thread on the pipe’s end, and drill over the thread inside the main plate with M10 as well. 5. Bend the mirror’s fork as seen on the picture. 6. Mark the holes from the bent fork onto the main plate, and drill holes. 7. Make the electric work with a new switch. (I laced it inside the arm before doing so...
