Ask Casa: Help With My New Living Room
Hi Casa,
I recently rented my first apartment and now I have to furnish and make it my own space. Eeek! I feel like I need some serious help.
Etsy Find: White Notes 3-D Flower Vase
This White Notes 3-D Flower Vase ($19) is a much cheaper version of the Porcleain Flower Vase ($98) I've been seeing in all the design shops lately. It's handmade of fine bone china, and reinterprets vase shapes of the 1790's by using a white finish to create a modern look. I think the tulip design is so beautiful on its own that it really doesn't even need fresh flowers.
Before and After: A Bathroom Makeover For Under $80
Craftster member Nichola accomplished the admirable feat of making over her bathroom for under $80. Cheap, chic makeovers are always inspiring, and Nichola's bathroom definitely fits the bill. Before Nichola's bathroom got to this "before" status you see here, she spent three nights removing ugly, decrepit wallpaper that may have been original to the house.
Roundup: White Porcelain Accessories
Ever since I saw West Elm's white Parsons Desk, I haven't been able to resist white, be it furniture, drapery, or accessories. White, obviously, is a very versatile color that goes with everything! But not only does it blend in well, it also has the power to make a disparate mix of furnishings look cohesive.
Get the Look: Bright Modern Living Room
It's a bold move to choose a large checkered print for your sofa — that's a lot of pattern. But when you keep your palette otherwise simple, with just a couple other principal colors, it works! I absolutely love the daring sofa in this room.
Casa Quickie: Vases as Fish Bowls
To me, big ole electric fish tanks just scream bachelor pad, or worse, a divey Chinese restaurant. There's nothing pretty about a standard pet shop fish bowl, either. But having a little Nemo in your home can inspire a connection to the natural world, and there's something calming about watching them propel their little bodies through the water.
DIY: Floral Foam Vase
If you read Casa regularly, you've probably noticed that people are making vases out of almost anything these days (pipes, plastic bottles, honeycomb, light bulbs). Quite frankly, a makeshift vase (coffee can, glass bottle) is not the hardest DIY. But, when I came across a DIY from ReadyMade for a vase made from floral foam that was cheap, easy, and most importantly, water retaining, I was pretty impressed.
Casa Quickie: Think Outside the Mantel
Those of you who are lucky enough to have a fireplace mantel are probably overflowing with ideas about what to set on it and what to hang above it. Vases. Candlesticks.
Get the Look: Neutral With a Splash
There's no shortage of patterned pillows in the world to love, so where do you draw the line? As someone who is drawn to color and pattern, I've always struggled with this. But, I think the answer is simple: go neutral.
