After reaching out to by Crea asking what their favorite color fabrics were, they informed me that they'd be more than happy to send over swatch samples to help me make the right selection. I get a little bit of anxiety when I have to match up the colors in hues in our home (I say little bit but let's be real, I definitely sent multiple photos to friends to have them help me decide on which colors to choose). But I will be the first to admit that making furniture selections is stressful. The Freja Bar Chairs I chose had me completely swooning. (I'm a total sucker for one of a kind craftsmanship).īy Crea is a modern styled company based in Sweden, who provide barstools, chairs, end tables and coffee tables. Clean lines and multiple colors & options to choose from, but what really pushed me to place this order? 100% handmade in Sweden. I was inspired by their minimalist online haven to say the least. After glancing through by Crea's website, I just knew exactly what was needed to make our kitchen space complete. Let me tell you, redecorating a space is O-V-E-R-W-H-E-L-M-I-N-G when nothing in those corporate stores are speaking to you. that is, after I selected brand new barstools from by Crea. I removed everything off of the open shelves in the kitchen, literally, tossed it behind me (because, ya know, out of sight out of mind) and got to work. I skipped our bedroom, dining room and all of the other spaces and went straight to the heart of the home. So, I had to start small and had to be smart about it as well. As much as I would absolutely love to throw everything away and start with a clean and fresh canvas, who in their right minds can afford to do that?! Certainly not our family, and I'm sure I can speak for the vast amount of other families out there as well (I'm pretty confident with that statement). I wanted to get rid of everything, essentially toss it all and just start over. My main focus for our home was to minimize. all I can say is I am just so relieved it's gone now.) After I painted our kitchen walls black a couple of years ago, I knew exactly where our home was headed and by all means I was going to get to that finish line. (I don't know what I was thinking, don't judge me - we all got hit by that farmhouse bug at one point. If you've been following along with me since the beginning of our build, you've probably noticed how my style began as that stereotypical modern farmhouse look but more recently has dropped the farmhouse. It's been so long since I've given any sort of refresh to any space and it felt as if I was lacking incredible amounts of dopamine in my life which I needed to fix immediately. (Which is very out of character for me as many of your probably already know). So boring that I haven't opened my wallet for new decor in months. Everything that is available now in stores is just. I've done a little window shopping here and there but truth be told, there has been nothing in my good ol home decor stomping grounds that have "spoken" to me. It's been awhile since I found the motivation to redecorate.
