Maiden Home Living Room Refresh

We have lived in our home two years now. Which is crazy to me because it feels like we have been here for ten years already. Maybe thats because we have been working on this place since before we even closed on the home...not even kidding.
The house has taken on a completely new life and I love looking back over the past few years and seeing how much has changed. Like our living room for instance. Here is a real estate photo of what I walked in to the first time I laid eyes on the space. Needless to say I wasn't thrilled. But Brian was adamant that this was going to be our home so I trusted him and Im so glad I did.

Its funny how the remodel of a home is a slow evolution to get you were you ulimately want to be. At least it is for us anyway. Rarely, do we keep things the same for very long without feeling the need to change it up. Recently, I had the opportunity to partner with Maiden Home to refresh our living room with their Dune Sofa and Mercer chairs.  The clean lines and crisp white linen spoke to my minimalist heart but it wasn't until I found out that this fabric is also kid and pet proof that I about died!

I chose white performance linen, yes WHITE! And its been amazing for our busy family. We have two dogs and three kiddos that love laying on the sofa and after a few weeks of daily wear and tear it still looks as new as the day it was delivered. The comfort of the Dune is like sitting on a cloud with the construction of the bench seat cushion and down feather and fiber fill.  I also love that if I had to wash it, I totally can because its also a slipcover. How can you beat that?!?

The Maiden Home Mercer chairs are exactly what I would design if someone asked me to design a chair. Clean lines, crisp linen and black metal detailing. Modern with a nod to mid-century design. They are exactly what I have been looking for in a chair for this space for so long. They are modern but you don't have to sacrifice comfort in the least with these beauties. The price point is also quite good when you think about the quality and craftsmanship of these Maiden Home pieces. Some of you might think, but wait these aren't inexpensive and to that I would say, your so right. But you also need to know a quality piece when you see and touch it and these pieces won't let you down. These are pieces that will stand the test of time and won't break down after just a few short years like so many other disposable pieces of furniture on the market these days. I long for the days when you would receive a well crafted piece of furniture as a wedding gift and thats what you kept for a lifetime. Those days have since passed with so much poor craftsmanship. Maiden Home is bucking this trend and creating truly inspiring and hand crafted pieces to pass down. 

I mean COME ON!! They make my heart skip a beat every time I look at them....can you have a crush on chair because I totally do! 

I am so happy with how our living room looks and feels right now. It feels refined and well designed without feeling stuffy. You can fall into each piece and relax without the worry of messing it up. My goal is to have a home that my family and friends will feel comfortable in. A place they want to relax and stay for long periods of time. We love our house full of family, friends, all the neighborhood kids...the list goes on, so I can't have furniture that won't allow for this kind of living. The Maiden Home Dune Sofa and Mercer chairs are the perfect fit for us because they allow for exactly this kind of living. Now I'm thinking about the rest of the house and how we can incorporate more pieces in to our spaces.

Stay tuned!
