Lauren and her husband Robert share home renovation, thrifting and diy projects.  I get SO many ideas from her.  The butterfly printable art, hobnail vase makeover, and lime washing our house!   

She has such a great eye for design and her style is what I would describe as modern traditional.  I just love her energy and am so impressed with her seemingly endless ideas and talent. She cut up this rug (I don't think it was vintage) and framed a section in a shadow box. 

If you're not into DIY, and love the look of the framed rug remnants, check out Target for this set of 24x30" textured fabric art. 

Okay, I could spend all day browsing rugs and throw pillows, so this is one of my favorite ways to incorporate vintage into our home--combining rugs and pillows!  I ran across this fabulous shop on Etsy (I think from Jordan?) called Kilim Pillow Oriental. You can order just the sham and it ships within the week from Turkey!

I chose three different designs, and used down inserts from old TJ Maxx and HomeGoods pillows to fill them.  It worked perfectly.  It's often cheaper to find a down pillow at one of those stores than to order inserts somewhere online.  Plus, it works just as well, and you get a bonus cover for basically nothing.  Buying shams, instead of entire pillows also makes it easier to store, if you're like me, and like to switch up your pillows for the season.

Since these aren't the softest, and my family always complains about me buying these rough pillows, I try to place them where people aren't lounging on them.  They look great on a little bench, but I also like to set them out on our hearth because I love the colors and textures.

Fireplace Makeover

Since I don't encourage anyone to flop on the beds once they're made, the bed is the perfect place for this kind of statement pillow.  I have our bed pretty neutral right now, so I can mix it up with different pillows and throws.
