Last weekend I embraced the sunny Saturday bestowed upon us and dove into some spring inspired decorating…
Thanks to this newly acquired gorgeous spring green zig zag pillow from Fabricadabra (with just a hint of aqua at the edges of the zag), I’ve got a new palette to work with in the living room! The other pillow was a Target purchase from last summer, and it’s just a bit more bold that I like with the sofa, but I think I can make it work.
Next? Some inspiration for room pieces and styles…
With my more traditional-styled bar and simple sofa, I’d really love to add some more modern accents to the decor, starting with lamps and maybe even a different accent chair (I’ve always wanted one with leather that could be worn in year after year). I’d also consider a bench or pair of stools to sit across from the coffee table to create a low conversational area. And, given the bolder pillow choices, a white lacquer coffee table might be in order!
Time for some dream hunting…
I have to admit… I’ve been lusting after this perfect zig zag rug since spying it at the Safavieh showroom last year at High Point. Designed by Thom Filicia (love him!), it’s truly the inspiration behind this palette!
I really like the idea of adding in some more earthy pieces to balance my ‘glam’ decor tendencies with a few amazing mid-century styled bowls from Heath Ceramics and these glazed crackled glazed glass coasters at Anthropologie in complimentary colors. For the bar? A fabulously simple brass table lamp to warm things up a bit. For company? A pair of stools in my current favorite fresh spring green! For me? A gorgeously complete room…

I love the new pillow! Sort of ikatish…but not. Very chic!
I am loving that lamp! And I'm also looking for the perfect leather accent chair that only looks better the older it gets. The Clooney of furniture if you will.

That white coffee table is gorgeous. It would look so out of place in my current living room, where the theme is more rustic than anything else, but maybe someday…
Love that green zig zag pillow!
i am on a desperate hunt for a bar similar (but smaller) than yours, so keep your eyes open. and love the pillows!
LOVE that green pillow. Praise Buddha for SPRING!
I need that lamp in my life! Amazing!
Those pillows are beautiful! I really want to find some inexpensive chevron pillows/covers, but am having no luck finding any in my budget {less than $30 each}. Any suggestions?
love your pillows, cassandra, as well as all this inspiration!
lovely new pillow! I want a chevron cover too and I go back and forth between wanting this one with blurry edges or a more crisp version (like from twinkle home)
all your selections are great- I especially dig those stools.
I love all of your dream hunting picks. Good eye.
Wonderful inspiration board. I love that brass lamp. If I had any spending money this month that puppy would be sitting on my desk!
Where can I snag that Wallpaper???? Its great!
mmmm…love love love! i'm going for a similar vibe in my own living room, with a palette of pale rose, coral, cognac and brass. love the mix of warm mid century with some hollywood glam thrown in!
Really in love with the lamp and your new pillow! I bought some green ikat pillows earlier this year and I love them. I think I have a bit of a pattern explosion in my living room, though, so I might need to scale it back.
i love both pillows! you can definitely make it work. i also love the idea of a leather accent chair that only gets better with age… i would love to see your picks in a future post!
Ohh love the pillows this would look great in my beach house!!!! I've been looking for blue pillows that are not too bland!!

Wish I hadn't seen this post. Those vintage footstools are exactly what I've been searching for and they have been sold. Now I'm really bummed.
Loving that zig zag rug too…hmmm, now off to find a spot for it!
Love the color palette! So fresh an soothing at the same time
I love changing out my accent pillows for spring, quick and easy lift me up for all our rooms! Are you a fan of navy & turquoise? I think it might be the new color story for my bedroom!
Lovely Little Nest… your best bet for a zig zag pillow under $30 is keeping an eye on Target (they always have more online!), Overstock.com, or finding a zig zag print you love and whipping up a pillow yourself! I happen to think pillow covers are SO worth a little investment. They're easy to store when the season or styles change in your home, and will last you forever! I keep my stored away until I find that they work for me again
I love that lamp!
I love your green pillows very beautiful!!
Those colors are like breaths of fresh air. Please show us photos of the final look
Earthy Glam maybe a new look brewing…? The right way to bring in spring!
Fabricadabra pillows are awesome, I carry them in my shop and there are so many amazing choices. Check out this one, conveniently located on a mid century leather chair that is looking for a new home… http://www.vicariouslylovely.blogspot.com
Absolutely beautiful coasters. I've been looking for some for quite a while now and these are the nicest I've seen.
