The Decor
I have a mix of coffee table books, vases, ceramics, and plants in my decor. To me, this area seems like the most elevated part of our home, AND it was the most affordable!
When it comes to decor, something I really appreciate about my home is that we have photos and art that hold meaning to us. This is something we’ve never done before. My partner and I have moved every few years, so we usually prioritize functional decor over sentimental items. However, this home feels more personal and sentimental than our previous places, and it feels really good.
We bought a woven piece of art in Korea, and recently had it framed at Michael’s to display. We also framed some photos from Korea through Framebridge. If you plan to send photos to get framed, be sure to get anti-glare.
a.k.a “Matcha Haus Cafe” 🥹
This was one area that took some time to figure out. It was originally shown on the floor plan as a formal dining room, but we didn’t want another table that we will barely use. We love our dining area in the kitchen (check out my Full Kitchen Tour for more), and didn’t feel the need for another.
So, what to do? After living with it as an empty space for a while, we decided to make it a cozy spot to read, drink matcha, or a cocktail/mocktail — and we use this area quite a bit, especially when we have fam and friends over (which is often!)
