Modern Cowboy/girl/they Vibes

Psst… shop the prints in the featured image above at Society6.com/nickqtx and Society6.com/retrografika!

I just started a new interior design project *squeal* and I am deeeeep into the inspiration process. My eyes are glazed over from scrolling through Pinterest for hours. (Bonus: I now have a ton of new air fryer recipes to try.) I am screaming on the inside because I can’t wait to tell you more about this new project, but—hint—I have to wait another 30 days until I do. 😉 (Think real estate, not babies:)

In the meantime though, I wanted to show you what I am thinking for the vibe of this space. Modern Cowboy/girl/they Vibes: A Texas-themed space that has a hint of a ranch flavor (not the dressing) but with a fancy-pants, mid-century modern twist. Phew, that’s a mouthful and a whole bunch of styles mixed together – am I crazy? (Don’t answer that.) My gut is telling me it needs to have more of a sexy, masculine feel than the last space I decorated but still be peppered with fun, playful pops of feminity. If I was to match a person to the space it would be current Matthew McConaughey and his family (as opposed to his younger self playing bongos naked in his airstream.) Not the jam for this space, but heck yes for another.

This will be my biggest project and my biggest stretch because my go-to design vibe is usually GIVE ME ALL THE COLOR. I’m excited to challenge myself to create something that is a little less Mel and a little more honky tonk. Right now, I’m still in the inspo part of my process, but I’ll be moving on to sketching actual furniture pieces in the space to see how they feel together and creating a color palette soon. I’m excited to take y’all along for the ride this go-round.

Check out what I’m feeling below and let me know what you think in the comments! You could also follow me on Pinterest if ya wanna! BUT NO PRESSURE, EVERYONE. xo

Home Picks from Anthropologie

I have a deep love for Anthropologie. I’ve spent years happily perusing their online and IRL shops, gazing at the beautiful dresses, denim, shoes and ohhh, the earrings! Their bridal brand, BHLDN, is also very special to me as I thank them for making me feel like a real bride.

And their home items – squeal! I decorated our downtown Austin Airbnb with products from their home collection. Scott also just bought me this amazing brass raccoon table lamp and I plan to throw a party the day it arrives.

If you’re an Anthropologie fan like I am, you’ll love these favorite home picks below. Psst… they are affiliate links so I will make a little commission if you click on them. xo

Psst… this isn’t our kitchen but it sure does look like it! It’s a snazzy photo by Creatv Eight on Unsplash. IRL home tour coming soon!

Over the past few months, I’ve been feeling super bleh in the creative department. But as of this week, I am starting to see the light at the end of the bleh tunnel. I’m not sure if it was our trip out to Spicewood or our new quarantine airstream project, but I am starting to feel inspired again… especially about our home.

We moved into our house 4 months ago(?) and at some point, I came to a pause with designing it. My office is a mess—the closet is full of junk I have no idea what to do with. I just kind of crammed stuff in there and forgot about it. I hope to tackle it this weekend but then again, I said that last weekend. 😉 I think I am just overwhelmed with all the potential. And don’t even get me started on the backyard. It’s a jungle out there.

The inside is a blank slate right now though. It needs art, maybe a DIY mural and a few other small design touches to make it complete. I’ve been dinking around on Pinterest collecting some ideas on my Home Goodies board since I’m starting to feel the creative spark within again. Check out some of my favorites below! And follow my other Pinterest boards too if ya wanna. From Art & Inspiration, Nail Bling, Eat, Style and Fitness & Health, they’re all over the place just like my brain is currently always. xo, mel

The wine, the books, the yellow. I love it all.

That. Blue. Door.

Now this is what I call an entryway. Swoon.

I wouldn’t mind folding clothes in this laundry room.

I need this nook in my life.

This one too.

Hey, a girl can dream.

And dream some more…

This window is worth the layers upon layers of sunscreen.

That ceiling though!

Cute Animal Wall Art on Sale at Target

Okay, so here’s what happened. This post was supposed to be about cute wall art on sale at Target. It is still about that, but it took a slight turn when I started sifting through their online aisles to find my favorites. (Target is having a buy one, get one 25% off wall art sale that ends today. So get to it!)

It seemed all my picks had one thing in common—animals! Like, they’re so cute I can’t handle it. I know it’s not a shocker to learn I am an animal lover because y’all know I am obsessed with my rescue babe, Jake. But man, just know there were a lot of high-pitched squeals happening this morning when I was pulling together this post. What I’m even more excited about is that most of them are all Kate & Laurel, which is an adorable decor company I can’t wait to get to know more.

If you want to get in on this squeal action and add some cute animal wall art to your home, read on for my favorites… starting with the one I seriously spent about five minutes giggling over. xo
