How to Design a Living Room, Step by Step

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Mon, 22 May 2023 04:44:58 +0000

Discover the secrets to design a living room that tells your unique story. From setting a mood to adding personal touches, create a space that inspires.

Let’s use our living room at the Sunrise Farm as an example to guide you through the design process.

Home takes time. We all know that when you design a living room (or any space, for that matter), it’s about so much more than sitting down and ordering thousands of dollars in new furniture in one go; it’s an ongoing, I would even say lifelong, process that requires experimentation, patience, and a commitment to creating a space that exudes comfort and belonging.

15 Most Asked About Items in Our Home + Where to Buy Them

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 05:43:54 +0000

Whether on Instagram, here on the blog or in real life, I constantly receive questions about the same items in our home.

“Where did you get that, where can I buy that, where is that from?” etc.

Not that I mind answering the same questions over and over again (note my ever-so-slight sarcasm), but I figured that creating a blog post with all the answers (to which I can direct future inquiries) was a good idea.

Fall Decor: A Modern and Understated Approach

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 15:12:41 +0000

As much as I enjoy the occasional pumpkin-flavored treat, the idea of pumpkins as decoration does not thrill me one bit.

What is it about pumpkins that deems them the gourd of all gourds? And why must gourds, of all things, be associated with fall decor?

And who came up with the strange word “gourd” anyway?

Back to the topic at hand: I’ve never been a fan of standard fall decor – or the season in general, to be honest.

Our Best Renovation Decisions, Part II

In catching up on posts that I promised but never delivered on, I realized I never shared Part II of our best renovation decisions.

Not sure what I’m referring to? Let’s recap real quick.

In July of 2015, we bought a house. The house was old and abandoned and scary and sad. Nevertheless, we saw potential and made it ours, lovingly nicknaming it the #StrelkovBungalow.

Raise your hand if the warmer temperatures, longer daylight hours and long-awaited sunshine are making you want to do all sorts of wild things – like trek barefoot across your overgrown yard in search of winding vines or blooming branches for your fireplace decor.

Our Best Renovation Decisions, Part I

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:35:08 +0000

Since I’ve previously written (not once but twice!) about our many home renovation regrets (see part I and part II), I thought it was only appropriate to balance out that negativity with a list of projects and renovation decisions I absolutely loved (and would recommend to others in a heartbeat!)

With a project as massive as a fixer-upper remodel, mistakes are bound to happen.
