Colorful Eclectic Christmas Tour

December 6, 2016 by CORINNA HENDERSON

It never fails, every year on November 1st I drag our Christmas tree out of storage and put it up. For 10 months out of the year I refrain from decorating for Christmas. But for the months of November and December, I like to focus on adding magical Christmas charm.

And here we are, less than 20 days before my favorite day of the year. I love Christmas. And I’m still not done. But it’s The White Buffalo Styling Co‘s Holiday themed Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours time. If you’re stopping by from Cuckoo for Design, Hello and Thank you for visiting today!

I’m also linking this tour to the Holiday Housewalk party hosted by Jennifer Rizzo.

I’m also sharing this tour as part of The Nester’s Holiday Home Tours.

I’d love to show you two spaces today. I’ll start with the living room and then I’ll show you a peek into my sanctuary.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

I like to teeter on the edge of subtle with Christmas decor. Just enough embellishments and swapping out a couple year round pieces for Christmas specific ones is the approach I take.

Oh Colorful Christmas Tree…

I’m sure my tree just looks like a hot mess of ornaments threw up on it and haphazardly threw some pink pompom garland in the mix. But that’s kind of the rules of my tree decorating game. I love funky bright colors, ornaments from and inspired by around the world, and whimsical little touches.

Not A Creature Was Stirring…

In my bedroom, I chose to go soft and simple with my decorating. Some faux greenery draped over the head of the bed, a funky tree pick in the pothos and a votive filled with cinnamon sticks adds just enough sparkle to make the room magical.

Colorful bohemian thanksgiving tablescape

November 7, 2016 by CORINNA HENDERSON

This time of year sure does fly by quickly doesn’t it? We’ve already whipped past Halloween and now it’s time to gear up for Thanksgiving. It’s overwhelming and so exciting! I really enjoy taking dedicated time out to focus on thanks and giving.

Do you enjoy this time of year? I know a lot of people love Thanksgiving because they love the foods offered. Me? not so much. As a vegan, I find this holiday to be one of the more difficult ones. I never want my friends and family to go out of their way for me. But the decorating. Oh boy does the decorating get me excited! This is my first attempt at a full Thanksgiving tablescape.

A huge “Thank You!” goes out to Lindsay of The White Buffalo Styling Co. for inviting me to partake in this Thanksgiving tablescape themed Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours. You can always start on her blog to work your way through all the tours.

And since this is a round robin style tour, you’ve most likely stopped here from my incredibly talented friend Cassie Bustamante. I know, I know. She’s a tablescape genius. You really ought to also make sure you’ve checked out her Kid’s Thanksgiving Tablescape and all the work she’s done on her daughter’s bohemian bedroom.

So I guess we’ll jump into some pictures with occasional commentary then? Have a seat!

I like to keep it simple. Dishes from the dollar store, inexpensive punches of color from the drinks, thrifted dishes and napkins and pops of warmth from the butternut squash, wooden bowl and salad forks and little decorative accents spread about. The predominantly blue table is given life with pops of yellow and green.

To help give the table a carefree, relaxed vibe, I chose to mix different sets of silverware, plates and napkins. They’ve all got a similar vibe which helps them work together in this setting. Having some matching elements like the placemats grounds all the craziness.

The napkin rings, the bowls, and candle holder are thrift store finds. You’ll never go wrong bringing in second hand elements to a space. Actually, all of the chairs and the table were thrifted too now that I’m thinking about it 🙂

If you’re not terribly elaborate with your tablescape decorating, I hope you’ll have found this to be relatable and/or inspiring. The whole set up didn’t cost all that much! And everything can be used again for other occasions and decorating. That’s my favorite way to decorate.

And now for the fun part, continue the round robin and get inspiration from some of the finest designers I’ve ever come across (yeah, I know- it’s crazy I’m amongst this talent, ha!). The next stop goes live tomorrow at 6 am EST and you’ll go to Michael of Inspired By Charm. Enjoy!

If you haven’t seen the tablescape Lindsay from The White Buffalo Styling Co. put together, then you’re not done! Go there now.

Redesigning our home’s layout ?!

October 5, 2016 by CORINNA HENDERSON


I just can’t keep things simple with our house for long. My brain gets too creative looking at walls, imagining them gone and looking beyond the obvious constraints of the current layout.

It all started with yet another exhaustion met morning where I’m laying in bed unable to sleep in because the sound of the neighbor kids playing basketball is keeping me up. I love that they’re good kids filling their time with exercise, but golly I just don’t sleep so great these days.

I’m thinking about how I wish the bedrooms were at the back of the house. My bedroom has wonderful light and lots of windows, but they’re older windows and they let a lot of noise in.

One random thought to another and I’d been sleepless another hour. I’d dropped thinking of ideas and went about my day just to start thinking about it again. Without taking on the renovations and costs of an addition, how could I get the bedroom to the back of the house?

Well, there’s a room at the back of the house. It’s not a bedroom though. There’s a pass thru to the kitchen, no door, the back door, no closet.

Yeah… but there’s no noise from the street. The room is at the back of the house.

I could close up the pass thru. It’s pretty high up on my wish list to put a window in the kitchen anyways.

And putting in a closet system to section off a bedroom space from the path between the kitchen and back door wouldn’t be terribly difficult. Maybe even look into an IKEA system. That would fix the issue with the closet and the back door being in the space.

And that room doesn’t get morning sun. No instant warming up of the space on summer mornings! No early morning sun peeping around my currents.

This could actually work.

New Bedroom Wish List

But, wait. What about all the stuff in that room. You don’t want a dining room in a bedroom. That’s silly. And 4 bedrooms? A bit overkill. Especially without a 2nd bathroom to match those stats. More living space is definitely crucial.

You know, I’d always wanted to take down the wall between the living room and kitchen to do an open concept vibe.

But I’m loving the current layout so much with the TV on that wall!

The wall between that bedroom and the living room isn’t load bearing. And I have friends who deal with electrical work. They could help move the plugs in the wall. The dining room at the front of the house would be nice.
And that would leave a separate “kids wing” – that sounds way fancier than a 1,200 square foot needs to sound on the one side of the house.

And even later down the road a bathroom could be added to the “master” at the back of the house.

I think my 5 year plan was just mapped out.

As for the next 6 weeks? That dining room is getting transformed into my bedroom.

To recap, here’s the very rough before layout of our home:

LAYOUT FOR A 1950S BRICK RANCH

And here’s the very rough plan for the layout:

layout-for-a-1950s-brick-ranch-2

There are $0 and 0 sponsors so let’s see how creative I can get with reusing what I have, very inexpensive and resourceful changes and a fresh new space to work with.

I want to give a shout out and thank you to Linda of Calling It Home for organizing the One Room Challenge. Without it, I wouldn’t have the gumption to get up and make this happen. Check out all of the other participants transforming spaces here.

A Warm & Cozy Bohemian Home Tour

September 30, 2016 by CORINNA HENDERSON

Hello and welcome to my home tour! Even with a home mostly torn apart for a dozen or so projects, Fall nesting still has to happen. It’s one of those natural progressions throughout the year. My Fall decorating style is very muted, focusing more on the cozy feeling of a room and little nods to the season sprinkled throughout. I’m excited to share with you a bit what that looks like for me as part of the Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours hosted by Lindsay of The White Buffalo Styling Co. Hopefully you’re stopping in from A Creative Day Blog!

If you’re new here,

Hey, What’s up? Hello! I’m grateful to have you here today. My name is Corinna and I am the designer at home and this is my boho abode. I’m passionate about creating beautiful spaces meant for living in with a lot of bohemian flair. I share my own home’s journey, tips for yours, mood boards with shopping lists, my thrifting adventures and a splash of other interests from my life. I love nature, laughter and creating. After you’ve toured, if you like what you see please follow me on your favorite social media platforms and sign up for email updates!

Let’s tour, shall we?

To set the tone for the tour, light up the Leaves Bath and Body Works candle and tune in to 3 gymnopedies (arr. a. miolin): gymnopedie no. 1. This is what you can expect when you walk into my home on most days. Oh, and my little black and white barking fluff will insist he greet himself and attempt to woo you.

You may notice right away that there’s no entry way. We’re right in the everything space. Last time I did a home tour, I think we had finally pared the number of purposes for this room down to entry way, living, and play space. But then a whole slew of discombobulation started. And it’s back to being the everything space.

eclectic bohemian divided living and dining space

The space is divided into a family gathering/playing/TV watching space and an eating, chatting, working space. There’s a basket for shoes to get kicked off into and a cube divided storage unit full of regularly played with toys and a surface for placing keys onto.

My nod to the season here is the candle you’ve mentally (or literally ;)) lit as you walked in and a small foam pumpkin I pressed brass thumbtacks into for a bit of bling.

eclectic bohemian divided living and dining space

Looking back into the space you’ve just stepped into, you’ll see all of the impromptu dining space I pulled together temporarily. The former dining space and a bedroom are getting flipped. I’ll pop in and explain all of that better next week.

Eating right beside such a bright window is really nice. I pulled in my Craigslist world market bench, peacock fanback chair, small round dining table with brass capped feet, and one of the chairs I had to rebuild a seat for. Beneath sits a woven hemp rug and a Mexican blanket layered for that cozy feeling.

A simple centerpiece works best for our family. It leaves us plenty of space to sit down and have some tea while we catch up. I achieved that neat finish on the lantern with hammered finish copper spray paint with bursts of random gold over the entire lantern. I feel like it adds just the perfect touch of rustic warmth.

I even swapped out my usual teal or navy scarf of the back of the peacock chair for a piece with deeper, richer colors.

As we sit and enjoy our tea, you can let your eyes wander. I’ve carefully chosen and placed every item because I want your eyes to enjoy their visit. I like my guests to wander and ask about the various pieces, feel refreshed with all the greenery, and at home with all the layers.

I’ll invite you to take a load off and relax on the couch with me. By now you’ve probably started to notice a faint secondary smell. Incense. From the other end of the house is a stick of nag champa burning. The two smells blend into a deep, complicated cinnamon, woodsy, musky kind of smell.

In this space, I swapped out some cooler toned textiles for darker, warmer ones. The mid century swivel rocker got wrapped with a  bit of rusty orange fabric and topped with this cute marble pillow. You may start to notice as your eyes wander that there are little pumpkins and gourds spread about. I nod to you Fall. Thank you for your pumpkins and pretty colored leaves.

We can chat, play pentominoes, watch a movie, listen to music or flip through one of my many favorite books to refuel our creativity and spirits.

My solution for a fireplace-less home? Lots of candles. I can almost convince myself the room is warmer when they’re lit. I know it’s all in my head but I enjoy it nonetheless.

I filled in the gaps of my soda crate rock collection display with more foam gourds.

bohemian cozy and warm fall home tour

I like to keep the bulk of my decor the same year round. I don’t normally overhaul a whole mantle, bar cart or shelves. But I do like to add in fun little surprises. A bit of fun pom pom garland for added texture, a metallic pumpkin in line with my usual trio of bells, and a DIY mercury glass pumpkin in place of the usual brass trunk.

Before you head onto your next stop in this Fall home tour series, here’s a look at the whole space:

If you haven’t yet been there today, make sure you go visit Kristin from Bliss At Home. She’s a seasonal decorating genius and I’m always blown away with her use of colors and finishes to set the mood for a seasonal space. You click visit her Fall Home Tour here.

And please, don’t mind the paint all over the front porch and sidewalk. I would have preferred the opportunity to share my simply Fall decorated front porch. But alas the sweet 4 year old who’s been talking your ear off during your visit put paint all over it all while I prepped lunch 2 days ago. Next time I’ll have a proper porch to share!

Tons Of Storage In A Small Bathroom

August 26, 2016 by CORINNA HENDERSON

When you’ve only got one bathroom in your house and closet space is slim to none, you’ve got to think creatively and maximize what you do with the space in that bathroom. I don’t have the smallest or biggest of bathrooms, but I have jam packed a ton of storage into the space. Today I want to share all of those bathroom storage solutions because even if you can’t make them all work, there’s ideas here that will work for any space.

  1. Build A Recessed Shelf
    • I don’t find organizers that hang over the showerhead or use tension to hang in the corner of the rub to be very effective. They’re normally not stable enough nor are they ever big enough to hold everything.
    • If you can invest to DIY or have someone come in and put a recessed shelf into your shower area, you’ll love it. Our is especially huge but even a small one (or a series of small ones will go a long way in making the space function better.
  2. Double Shower Curtain Rod
    • Don’t waste wall space on towels. A simple and relatively cheap space saver is to change out your shower curtain rod for a double shower curtain rod. Instant double duty. And then while you’re at it, treat yo self to some cute towels.
  3.  Install A Cabinet Over The Toilet
    • If your linen closet is better suited to storing things you normally keep in there. Like first aid kits, medicines (that aren’t susceptible to moisture), towels, personal care products and anything else you need to store in there.
    • Also allows you to stock up on things like toilet paper because you’ve got a place to put the extras.
  4. Add A Freestanding Cabinet
    • If you’re really struggling with space, you likely don’t have room for this tip, but I love this! I can basically become a hoarder now that I’ve put this cabinet in my bathroom. Even rarely used bathroom cleaning products and their back ups get stored in here because I have room for everything else.
  5. Choose A Sink With Storage
    • When choosing between sinks for a bathroom remodel, don’t torture yourself with a pedestal sink (I guess unless you’re about to implement the other 7 ideas here). Bathroom vanities have come a long was from the free standing kitchen cabinet look and there are plenty attractive ones that take up minimal floor space.
  6. Shelf Over The Door
    • Steal a little square footage above the door. Extra toilet paper rolls, a basket of makeup, folded towels all display nicely in this space since it’s not a main space the eye rests in a bathroom.
  7. Utilize Wall Space
    • You can use wall space for shelves to display pretties and for all the daily essential.
  8. Baskets & Containers
    • Hang a basket from the ceiling a la macrame planter style for boho storage that takes up little space.
    • Put a basket on the floor for toilet paper/towels/laundry.
    • For storing small items (makeup, travel sized items, toothbrushes, deoderant)
    • Use a basket on the wall for a textural shelf

What’s On My Rattan Bar Cart

August 25, 2016 by CORINNA HENDERSON

Months ago one of my friends alerted me to the fact that the cute rattan line at Target had been put on  clearance. I had been obsessing over it. And I had even been looking on Craigslist for similar bar carts with little luck. So I ran right over to my Target and snatched up one of the bar carts.

Rattan bar cart decorated with vintage bohemian finds

Not exactly a “thrift” score. But I did get it for less than what the ones on Craigslist were listed at.

As for what’s on it? I believe I’ve shared most of these finds with you before. But there is 1 new score that I am totally stoked about.

Vintage atomic style planter with carved wood stand

This brass trunk is the largest version of these I’ve ever seen in person. Not a clue what I’ll store in it, but naturally my hoarding tendencies had to have it.
