My cozy corner.

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you know that we have hit completion with a couple of home projects. What a relief! Raising two girls has definitely given me the patience required to endure construction commingled with a pandemic. I definitely had my days though!

One of the smaller projects (but with maximum impact) was to develop this little corner of our family room. Previously it housed a vintage, beaten up chest of drawers and some family picture frames. The chest of drawers did not match the space at all and after eight very long years, I gave it the boot! As you are already aware, my love for MacKenzie-Childs runs deep. So deep that we explored seating options because their current, muted palettes were meant to co-mingle with our cozy room.

Meet the Giulietta Accent Chair. She’s all personality with her muted terra-cotta palette and houndstooth pattern play. She’s comfy and just perfect for moms who need the occasional coffee break or a place to curl up and read. She also has a matching throw which is ideal considering Illinois has not received the memo that summer is about to start. We finished her ensemble with the matching terra-cotta Fiore Pillow which ties the whole design element together. This pillow is also a great pop of texture and whimsy which is one of the strongest pillars of the MacKenzie-Childs brand.

Olivia has also created a set of rules called the three D’s:

1. No sweaty DADS

2. No dirty DOGS

3. No kiddo DRINKS

…are allowed on this chair!

The result has been such a positive addition to this room that it finally feels finished after all these years. Simply accessorize with candles and a pouf/foot stool and you have yourself the perfect situation for a rainy day. The only thing this chair does not come with is a barista to refill my coffee mug. Baby steps!
