Description

It may bring to mind the comfy reading chair you curl up in next to the window. It might get you thinking about your freshly made bed, topped with a vintage Welsh blanket or your grandmothers eiderdown. Or perhaps it will elicit a smile over the collection of found treasures and jumble of mementoes displayed on your mantel. Moreover, lived-in style isn't perfect. Far from it. It's mismatched and eclectic, vintage and repurposed. It's not about purchasing the contents of an entire room from a catalogue, no matter how beautifully styled they might be, or replicating a perfectly appointed home spotted on Instagram. Far from it. Lived-in style is about slowly gathering pieces over time, and truly loving each piece you gather. Whether your style is farmhouse or boho, rustic or modern, the end result is a home thats authentic, easygoing and inviting a cozy yet chic spot where guests will want to put their feet up and stay awhile.
