How Small Changes Can Transform a Space

Hey y'all, and thanks for stopping by!  Today, I just wanted to share with you how changing a colors and textures can transform a a particular area in your home.  Take, for instance, my window seat.  I was getting pretty tired of that area and needed something different.

Below is a before pic...

Yes, I liked the fabric when I first safety-pinned (hey...don't judge) it on a few months ago (during the Fall).  And I made the pillows to pull out the colors on the seat cushion. (DIY pillow covers found here.)  But with Spring around the corner, I needed a change.  This setup was just too BLAH for me.

So, I shopped my house, and threw this simple arrangement together....

Nothing fancy.  Just something different.  It's cute, and I like the neutral.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but the seat fabric is a real fun straw material.  The white pillow and insert are from Ikea, and the rug and wreath were purchased on sale at Target.  And the chalkboard is just chalk paint applied to the wall, with trim nailed around it.

Here's my other option...

Isn't it amazing how just one item can totally change the look of a space?!  I love how this rug brings such life to this little nook in my kitchen!  It was also purchased on sale at Target.   What do you think?  Which one is your favorite?  I'd love to hear from you!  Comment below, or stop by and say hey on PinterestInstagramTwitter and Facebook.  It always makes my day to hear from my awesome readers!
