Historic Vintage Style Room

August 30, 2018

For the past few years I have attended “Haven” a conference that is geared towards DIY and interior design bloggers.  This past year I was presented with an awesome opportunity.  I was able to team up with the great folks at The Home Depot and help design part of their booth that would be displayed at the conference.  I would be working with Mandi from Vintage Revivals.  She was asked to design the “patio” section, and I was designated the “Living Area”.   They  gave me the space, and dimensions , and a small tidbit of direction.  The conference was being held in Charleston, South Carolina and it was a suggestion that it have a “Charlestonian” vibe. Well I LOVED that idea and I ran with it.

The only peramenters  I was given was that I needed to find all the necessary furnishing on www.homedpot.com.  Let me tell you,  it was not a quick search.  They have  thousands of options when it come furnishings and home decor!  After sorting and searching I finally  came up with the perfect combination for a “Charlestonian”  feel.   Let me show you what I came up with!

  • This post is NOT  sponsored by The Home Depot, I just loved the experience and wanted to share my finds. It does contain affiliate links.

 

I wanted it to have a historic yet trendy vibe.  I had  never been to Charleston but  in my head that is what it was.  Thank goodness, after my visit  I still believe that to be true.  I am telling you , it is now one of my all-time favorite cities!   I digress.  I choose pieces that I thought a old feel, with a trendy twist.
Starting with the rug.  Vintage style rugs are coming back  and making their mark!  I wanted to embrace that, and also incorporate some bold colors!  Charleston is known for it’s color and I didn’t want my fear of color to hinder it’s overall feel.  I am so glad I got over my hesitation,  because seriously this Monaco Rug is EVERYTHING, and a great price to boot!

 

Next order of business was a sofa that would fit the theme.  It is a pretty widely accepted statement that the Linen Tufted Couch  have made their comeback.  That are a very traditional style, but when paired correctly can have a trendy eclectic feel.   I also needed a coffee table that I felt looked “as though it had a story to tell”.  (Any other F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans out there?)  I had a hard time narrowing it down, but finally  decided on this beauty, “The Home Sullivan Coffee Table“.

Last large-r ticket item was a accent chair to round out the seating area.  I knew I wanted a  blue accent chair.  So I went to www.homedepot.com and entered “Blue accent chair”  I kid you not they had 164 different options!?  These are the ones I ultimately decided on the “Toddman High Back Dark Accent Chair“.  I loved a handful of other ones, but I wasn’t working with a HUGE space so I needed to take room dimensions into consideration.

For the wall decor I took a little bit of a different approach.  While there was a HUGE selection of artwork available,  I wanted to try  something unique.  I opted for a wall of  “Cordelia Wall Sconces”.  (Which I ended up getting some for myself!  Check them out here.)

Anyone else out there have a black thumb?  I love adding pops of natural colors, but committing to feed another living thing is a little outside of my comfort zone.   Because of my fear of commitment I often opt for faux plants, and this is a GREAT one  for a great price! Paradise Palm Silk Tree . One of the last things it needed was some fun lighting. I found this fun arch lamp  that is perfect for cuddling up and reading  in the evenings.  It has a nice traditional feel but the matte black give it a little bit of an edgy feel . Kenroy Lamp I picked out all  of my pieces online, and then the great team from Home Depot ordered everything straight to the venue.  I am not going to lie I was a nervous wreck that I would very publicly fail in front of all my friends and colleagues,  but to my relief it came together perfectly!  Everything I  selected was exactly as it appeared online.  There were zero surprises and overall I will call it a complete success!  

*Not sponsored I just really enjoyed the experience.

    thank you for sharing this! I did end up clicking on the link for the rug (Home Depot, rugs, who knew?!) and found the perfect round one for my home office. I’ve been on just about every rug store on the internet, but they were either in budge and not quite right, or WAY out of budget and not an option. I really love how your sample room came out too! The pops of color with the chair and the rug paired so nicely with the neutral sofa. I could easily move that entire room right into my house. 🙂

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
