Minimalism vs. Unfinished Decorating: Daly's Bedroom Update

The difference between minimal and unfinished decorating

I've been lying in bed thinking about this quite a lot over the past year. My life ritual is to swing from one extreme to another, then gently wander my way into middle ground. I did this with boyfriends. I did this with work. I'm doing this with my bedroom decorating, duh. So my once packed bedroom became quite a blank canvas this past year. And it's from this place, I have been contemplating the difference between minimal design and something not quite finished.

Decorating Your Home For the Holidays

As you know, I enjoy decorating for the seasons. Last year I began storing my Christmas decor in my coffee table which is a giant wooden trunk (pictured above) and so this year, it was so freaking easy to get everything out. We only had to venture to the attic for the tree and a few strings of lights.  Before I put my Christmas stuff in there, the trunk was empty. WHAT WAS I THINKING? So yes, this year it was so easy to get everything out to decorate. Plus, Caroline was old enough to actually be excited about decorating, so that gave us another boost to break out the holiday cheer.

Tulsa home styling: A sweet and simple vintage boys' room

We always say our clients are stylish people, but this has never been more the case than when we worked with local blogger and house renovator Emily Netz. Emily and her husband Jeff recently renovated their 1920s Tulsa home (which you can see and read about here) and Emily designed and furnished nearly every space except for her boys' room. When it came to this room, Emily felt stuck on how to create the space she had imagined in her head and wanted an extra pair (or two) of eyes to help bring it to life.  We were more than happy to help!

How to Unite your House with Design: Three Tips for Creating a Cohesive Home

Unifying your home with thoughtful design

I think about my house a lot. Probably more than the average Joe. Probably not more than you if you are reading this blog. I've recently been thinking about how certain design elements throughout my home (both inside and out) unite it together. Though different rooms have their own specific design, they are still part of a whole. They are same, same, but different. Siblings, cousins? These elements can be sneaky; they aren't always obvious, instead they hide in plain sight but make you feel a sense of cohesion and flow as you move throughout a home. A friend of ours recently said, "I like having hints of matching throughout the house." Yes, this exactly.
