Open House: John’s Journal
Maria has been a long time reader of this blog and due to her lovely comments I found her blog! It is a source of contact inspiration and I’m happy to share her home with you today.
Highlights:
-I think I will always love gallery walls. Also love that each piece a special meaning.
–Zig-Zag rug
-Swoon worthy Lucite coffee table
Fireplace wall:
Highlights:
-Bamboo Chairs from Pier 1
-Artwork by IKEA that is hung on L brackets and hides their flat screen TV!
Opposite the sofa we have these lovely ladies:
From behind the left ikat chair we can see a peek of animal print. You know me I think every home should have one and Maria whipped out her DIY skills to make this:
A little wood, zebra contact paper and nailhead trim was all it took! DIY instructions here
Gideon’s room:
Highlights:
-Maria’s dads boat maps were cut up and framed.
-Fun swing from IKEA
Master Bedroom:
What a serene and glamourous retreat.
Highlights:
-Show stopping lighting fixture that was a Candice Olsen find from Overstock.
-Large x-bench at foot of bed.
-Monogram on bedding! I love the special touch that a monogram gives to a piece. It makes it more personal and can help achieve a certain vibe/look depending on what font you pick. If given the opportunity I’m certain I would monogram everything around me. No one would be safe. 🙂
I spied this piece at IKEA a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been itching to use it. Love how it looks in this space!
What a beautiful home full of charm and glam! A big thanks to Maria for sharing with us!

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Thanks so much Camila for all your sweet words and your continued inspiration through your work and blog, its been so fun following you!
So fun to see! Thanks.

Loved seeing all the mix & match of fabrics! Thanks for sharing!
Maria has talent! She was able to mix so many textures and colors and make it all come together looking good!
I love to paint skies, and that picture above the zebra console won my heart! Beautiful furniture and gorgeous chandelier above the bed!
I would love to enter my house. Should I send you some pictures by email and see if you would like to share it with your readers? Please, let me know.
Hey guys, I forgot to mention where the painting above the zebra table is from….believe it or not Homegood for under $50, I LOVE it too and get a lot of questions on it!! The art above the tv has just one L bracket screwed in upside down adn we just lift it right off to watch tv, no problems. lightweight artwork is key!
She did such a wonderful job of decorating. Love the zebra table. Great idea.

I loved the master bedroom. I could see myself spending all day in that bed. The whole house is beautiful!
excellent example of how to mix patterns. cute home!
I knew that zebra console looked familiar! When I saw that DIY article on Design Sponge, I immediately bookmarked it for future use!
I am in love with that lucite coffee table. I am dying for a lucite chair and posted about it today! 🙂 great post.
Gorgeous! What a wonderful peek into a glamorous home!
I'm still getting over how fantastic that DIY project is.
Kudos for the TV artwork set up Maria! I think that is fantastic!
