“I love looking at the clear blue sky in the summer and I love when my house feels like summer.” – Molly Larsen

This year is quite different than other years as a lot of us are limited to traveling and accessing public outdoor spaces. Many of us started working on their homes, which I think is the best thing you can do when you cannot go anywhere else. Make your home a “Home Sweet Home”; it sounds like a fantastic idea to me.

Before we get into the content today, I would like you to take a quick second and feel the appreciation in all the things you have. You are fortunate that you are still here today to enjoy all the moments and share your time with your loved ones. Be grateful that you are well and alive. Thank yourself for making every day happen and never giving up.

Now it’s time to make your home feel like summer with these three simple practices you can adopt today.

Three Ways to Make Your Home
Feel Like Summer

ONE: Bring in flowers and fruits

Super easy, right? Summer is all about bright and the feeling alive. Having flower vases around the house or displaying some fruit basket on your kitchen island or countertop will add some fun summer vibes into your home. You can also change up your paintings and put the ones with flowers and fruits up on your wall.

You can also get some small citrus trees like orange and lemon and place them indoors. But make sure that they will get full sun for several hours. Even better if you could find an artificial one so you can place them anywhere in the house.

 

TWO: Add a pop of color

You can have a big project planned out like painting a wall with new summer colors and putting up new wallpaper on your accent wall. Or you can go small by adding a pop of color by getting some new throw pillows, colorful vases, or grab a colorful bouquet next time you go grocery (or flower) shopping.

 

THREE: Turn up the Summer tunes

This is the easiest thing you can do, and you won’t need to spend your money on redecorating your space. Make sure your home is a nice, clean, and bright thought. Roll up the curtains and let the bright light in. Then jazz up your favorite Summer playlist, sit back, relax, and repeat this step every day. Or whenever you feel like you need more summer in your life. As music can bring back memories and all the good times you used to have when you were on vacation. You can make new Summer memories at home! Sounds good?

I mentioned earlier that I am redecorating my small living room. I want this space to feel lively, bright, and represent happiness. Below, you can find some images I used as inspirations to decorate my living room.

We are still waiting for the chairs that won’t deliver until September! So I might not wait that long and will be sharing the finished look with you in my future post soon.

But here is what I already did on one of the shelves in this space.

Breakfast Nook/ Cafe Corner Inspirations

Breakfast Nook/ Cafe Corner Inspirations

Today, I have the photos of how I imagined our breakfast nook was going to look and feel after the completion. All of the inspirations are, of course, from Pinterest!

Read on to see what inspired me!

“The space we are spending the mmost time together in is this breakfast nook aka our new cafe corner.”

Hey, my love! I hope you are staying safe and doing amazing! 

 

This post is long overdue as I was so busy with my new skincare brand that just launched. Check it out here: From Plants Beauty. I will go over what I am doing and why I started it in a future post. Not only that, but my husband and I kept surprising his parents by fixing and redecorating their bedrooms without them even knowing. One room per day and one week apart, and that got us supper exhausted on top of how extra exhausted working on the brand, raising our two small and big toddlers and trying to get our stuff together.  

Our breakfast nook isn’t quite complete yet as we are waiting for the black marble table and a chair that won’t be here for a few more months. Ekk!

Anyway, here I have the photos of how I imagined our breakfast nook was going to look and feel after the completion. All of the inspirations are, of course, from Pinterest!

I will be sharing the finished look as soon as I get things finalized and ready to show you.

Here is a quick peek on how it looks right now!

Guest Bedroom/ In-Home Studio Reveal

Guest Bedroom/ In-Home Studio Reveal

Our guest bedroom has been completed for a while, but I didn’t have time to take pictures and put them together until today. I used new and old furniture that we already had to fill up space. I am sharing the details with you in this post.

Read on to see how everything turns out!

“Home decorating is a passion of mine, and I am so passionate about making my home as sweet as it can be because you know that the “Home Sweet Home” phase makes me want to feel like I am living the sweetest life in my sweet little home every single day.”

Our house was built in 1985, and nearly everything here was original. We purchased this home after searching for over a year and finally found the one we felt like home. My husband and I saw a lot of potentials and loved the house when we first walked in. Before we moved in, we painted the inside white, including the floor. Now three years later, we got the hang of what we were doing and decided to give our home more love by dressing her up to a personality we feel that she is—sophisticated but yet down to earth. Sound like me a little?

We are now working room by room and will be sharing with you what our projects turn out in the later posts here on allaboutgoodvibes.com.

In this blog post today, I am sharing with you every corner in our guest bedroom/ in-home studio, and if you haven’t seen my inspiration behind my guest bedroom yet, make sure you head over to this post to find out.

Before I started redecorating this room, I needed a visual plan, so I created one. As you already know, I am a very visual person, so I first have to work on my mood board, where I used Pinterest to put together my vision before I decide on what I want. For this room, I was going for nature, calm, and relaxation feels. I picked out a lot of neutral and earth tone elements and accents to represent those emotions.

 

I can’t put my finger on the theme of this room, French Boho, maybe?but I would say it speaks out my personality and the house personality 100%.

If you are following me on Instagram (@CuratedByMolly), you might have seen so many photos of the same mirror selfie I took from a corner of this room. I use this room to workout in, take pictures for my blog, e-course, and business. I also use this room to relax and unplug when I need one. It’s a guest bedroom, but as of now, it’s my in-home studio.

The Vanity Corner

Right when you walked in on the left-hand side, I set up a vanity corner using a heritage chest made in Boston more than 70 years ago. We got the piece from my father-in-law. What we did with it was painting it all white as we want everything to be more of a lighter and brighter feel here in this room.

My vanity looks somewhat organized here as I only put what I normally use on it. On top of the chest, I put the gold Gleaming Primrose mirror I got a few years back to give that elegant, sophisticate, and vintage vibes to the room.

As you can see in the images, I have a lot of seashells and porcelain elements. I am currently in love with shells and pearls so I ordered a few new decoration pieces like this Seashell Accent Lamp to fill up space. I also got two new pleated porcelain vases that go well with the crown molding of the room and the fluted side table I have.

The Closet

We put together this DIY closet as we want it to be very simple and easy to access. You can check out my DIY Closet under $100 to see the before photo and how we did it. I try my best to keep everything organized here and again only put what I need to wear in the next two weeks. The rest of my clothes and shoes are located in our closet in the master bedroom.

The Reading Corner

This corner is opposite of the door and has the window right next to it which makes a perfect corner for reading. We got the chair and the side table from my parents-in-law. They didn’t use them so we decided to upcycle and they perfectly match with our french-boho theme. We didn’t change anything, only cleaned them and wiped them down. 

Next to the chair I have a gold shell wall hook, that I can hang a dress or bags like shown in the above photos.   

Adding a modern and feminine touch with a line art throw pillow to complete this corner.

The Bed

For our bed, we took the bed frame out and only have the mattress on the floor. I got the round velvet pillow from Urban Outfitters. My white linen blend sheet set is from Target. The rest of the bedding is from H&M; brown washed-linen covers, and light beige satin bedspread.

For the side table I picked the fluted drum table as its height isn’t as high and fits perfectly in this corner. I have the Ceramic Table Lamp that’s featuring a sculpted base in a raw finish with dual side handle ringson in this corner as well. 

 

To finish this guestroom with my personal touch, I hung up my painting above the bed. I named it “On The Table” as I actually painted it on my dining room table not because it’s a drawing of what’s on the table. 🙂

Inspiration behind Guest Bedroom/ In-Home Studio

Inspiration behind Guest Bedroom/ In-Home Studio

I think it might be a good idea to share with you my inspiration behind my newly renovated guest bedroom/ in-home studio before I show you the entire room.

Read on to see some beautiful imagery that inspired me to re-do this room.

 

 

“I listened to the voice of my home then started to turn my sweet old home into the person she wanted to become.”

If you have been following me for a while, you might already know that growing up, I didn’t have my own bedroom. So when my husband and I bought our first home, I wanted a room for me, a place where I can be creative, work, rest, and feel relaxed at the same time.

We fixed up one of the bedrooms and made it my office, but now we turned it into our daughter’s bedroom and moved my computer out in the living room. I technically don’t have my office anymore, so we decided to renovate the guest bedroom and turned it to be my studio.

I spent a lot of time creating content in this room since it was about 70% complete. Now I have been taking pictures in there every day. You will soon see a lot of what I created in the upcoming posts.

Last week, I showed you one section of my guest bedroom, the closet, and I got a lot of interest in that post. So I thought it might be a good idea to share with you my inspiration behind it before I am going to take you on a tour of my newly renovated guest bedroom/ in-home studio.

Every time I start a new project, I first have to work on my mood board. As Pinterest has always been a go-to source for inspiration for me for so many years, I spend a lot of time collecting some inspirational images and pin it to my board before I start the project.

For this guest bedroom renovation mood board, I picked images that represent nature, calm, and relaxation. I love neutral, and earth tone elements and accents, and the theme of this room is in between Bohemian, French, and Scandinavian style, I have to say. It also has a feeling of mid-century, modern, and minimal all in this room.

Alright, below are a set of images that inspired me to renovate this room.

30 Pretty Earth Tone One-Piece Swimsuits

30 Pretty Earth Tone One-Piece Swimsuits

Either you are dreaming of going to the beach, want to swim in your pool, or hang out in a jacuzzi; today, I have picked my favorite shades of brown, one-piece swimsuits to share with you in this blog post.

Read on and get ready to shop!

 

Brown and earth-tone outfits and furniture are my current favorite colors at the moment. It reminded me of nature and a calming state of mind. I even created a Pinterest board dedicated to Nude | Tan Aesthetic. That’s how crazy I am about this shade. 

 

When I looked for the color psychology of brown, I found that this color brings to mind feelings of warmth, comfort, and security. It’s often described as natural, down-to-earth, and conventional, but brown can also be sophisticated, and these are the exact emotion and feelings I have been experiencing.

Below are some images I pinned to my Nude | Tan Aesthetic Pinterest Board.

Anyways, if you are into brown like me, I have picked some cute one-piece bathing suits for you to shop below.
