In my 3+ years of blogging, I am a little sad to say that I haven’t participated in too many blog hop series. Happily, I’ve met some pretty incredible women in the past year and am subsequently breaking my streak—starting now actually! I’m excited to be part of the Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours: Favorite Room Edition, spearheaded by Lindsay, the incredibly talented lady behind The White Buffalo Styling Co. The series kicked off yesterday and will run through the end of the week.
If you’re new to DGD (perhaps arriving from today’s lead post from The Shabby Creek Cottage!) then an extra special welcome to you. As you’ll quickly find if you spend any length of time in my blog archives or house tour, you’ll likely pick up on my penchant for all things thrifted and mid-century. As such, one of the happiest places in our home is the living room.
This space is an organic, constantly changing collection of second hand treasures, whether from our travels way out west, or from our go-to estate shop just 15 minutes from home. Although some thrifty pieces have felt the effects of my love for “DIY” (like our two-tone TV stand or restyled consignment store bar cart), others have stayed just as they are. Everywhere I turn, I’m reminded of an adventure here or there and often find myself quizzing my memory, recalling certain treasure hunting Sundays deep in the past.
You see, our living room is far more than just a place to lounge and catch an episode or two of Parks and Rec (although that happens daily). It tells a story and is one of the most “complete” spaces in our house. It’s the perfect synthesis of my feminine and his masculine style, and is easily my favorite room.

What a great living space, Carrie! Early in the post I was going to ask what that beautiful floral book under The Good Thief was, and then you were kind enough to show me later on, with your cute face peeking out! 😉 Already have it in my cart… Love your layers and unique accessories, and your bar cart spot is way too fun!
Awwww, too funny!! It’s a great book. You should definitely check it out!
Gorgeous living room, Carrie! I want to move right in…seriously. I love all of the art and mid-century details. So glad you broke your streak and joined us!
Thanks, Lindsay!! I’m so honored to be included! P.S. I’m so embarrassed that I misspelled your name…I was just updating it when I saw that you had commented 😉 My bad!!
Every time I see a picture of your pig bookends I fall in love all over again! I am definitely going to have to go on a search for those! 🙂

Beautiful living room but what I like the most is the pastel colour of the wall, it feels like you can’t go wrong with any decroative item then, it is also very “soothing” for the eye. Inspiring!
What a nice observation! Thank you!
Your room is gorgeous Carrie! I’m so into light and bright right now but your color palette is dreamy and makes me reconsider 🙂 I love all of the detail! I can see why it’s such a special room to you!
Thanks Summer!!! That means a lot coming from you and your styled eye!
Love this space!! It’s the perfect mix! 🙂
