2020 little glass house refresh

The Christmas decorations have all been stored away which always leaves me feeling like I’m starting with a clean slate. I enjoy moving accessories and furniture around to create a fresh and updated look.

In the living room, an antique table from Diani Living replaced the round reclaimed wood one. I’ve heard from plenty of Instagram friends that they preferred the previous one. However, I’m loving the smaller size, the character, and the lighter feel that this one brings.

In the sitting area off the kitchen, I simplified the mantel and added a few plants to bring in some life and color. The rope wrapped surfboard from Mate Gallery becomes a piece of California art and brings warmth and texture to this cozy corner.

In the kitchen I repurposed my small antique table to hold my favorite cutting boards and a vintage birds nest biscuit tin.

The sea glass in an old dough bowl from Debra Hall Lifestyle replaces the moose antler that makes an appearance for fall and Christmas. A pretty striped runner from Patine and chunky white candle holders from Hudson Grace lend a casual feeling to the dining table.

The bedroom got a mini update with the addition of a cozy rug from Serena & Lily and some neutral accessories.

The guest room saw the addition of a rustic ladder from Terrain…a gift from my daughter.

After removing the Christmas decor, I started from scratch styling the shelves in the living room cabinet. A mix of vintage and new, with touches of black feel fun after all the holiday white and silvers.

By far my favorite accessory for the New Year is the beautiful California sunshine that affords days where the doors can be opened wide and let the outdoors in! Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and adventure filled new year!
