a cottagecore inspired summer bedroom || Decorate with Me

#cottagecore #decoratewithme #cottagestyle #vintagehomedecor #diy #summer #vintageinspired
Hello sweet friends!
I'm excited to share an all new cozy, decorating with y'all today! This week I was inspired by one of newest finds to give our bedroom a whimsical, cottagecore inspired update. The aesthetic may not be your typical summer look, but sometimes doing something a little unexpected is a good thing, right?! I always hope to encourage and inspire you to do what you love in your home and not necessarily what is trendy or what everyone else seems to be doing. So here I am practicing what I preach!! I truly hope you enjoy it!
Much love,
Carin

We live with Spring decor all year around which makes me happy. I love all things roses and ornate frames and mirrors. I have decorated our home with thrift store finds forever! I love all things crystal and European. Friends and family used to make fun of me for shopping thrift store way before it was poplar. I love how you put things together. Great idea with the ornate frame and butterflies.

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Ohhh that sounds so lovely!!! I definitely am “newish” to the thrifting bandwagon…but can’t imagine anyone making fun of someone who does. My mom didn’t shop thrift stores when I was growing up, so it wasn’t really on my radar. I guess you got the last laugh though…now that it is so popular! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! ❤️

So lovely. You have created a sweet getaway spot. Really like the fresh greenery, good idea. Another enjoyable visit with you. See you soon. 😊❤😊❤😊

Hello my dear friend!! Thank you so much for always being here to support my channel. I hope you are well! ❤️

Love the bed skirt. We live in a modular home with very limited storage space as well. I have storage containers with little wheels under mine. Along with baskets and lots of photo albums. ❤

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

I definitely need to look into storage containers with wheels. That would be quite helpful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! ❤️

[@lisavasquez4670]

Oh Carin, so very pretty as usual. I love the fresh greenery that you bring in. Not only economical but very pretty, especially with the butterflies attached. The ceramic swan is precious with the pink flowers. I'm a widow now, so I've indulged myself with alot if pink in my bedroom. I also have thrifted antique picture frames with pics of my parents and grandparents when they were younger on my cedar chest in my bedroom. They've all been gone for yrs now and it is so a sweet way to remember them. I really conect with your decor styling and sensibilities, and so enjoy your videos over all others I watch. Thank you, Lisa 🩷💙💜

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Oh Lisa…. thank you so much for sharing that with me. ❤️ I can’t even imagine how difficult that road is to navigate. Decorating our homes, although trivial to some, can be such a therapeutic and cathartic process. I love that you have created a space for yourself that bring you joy. That is so very important!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing to be a part of this little community. I’m so blessed to have you here! ❤️

[@janjentz1053]

Your summer bedroom turned out lovely. There are enough light colors and bedding; to look nice for summer. I love the oval frame with the butterflies. Your dark furniture is a nice contrast. Unless you actually have a cottage on the beach; I don't think you have to have everything a light color.

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

I think so too!! Thank you so much for watching and always taking the to leave such sweet, thoughtful comments. I truly appreciate you!!

[@chriswells4400]

I love how that one print was a springboard for so much more inspiration. The butterflies are so sweet and I especially love the one attached to the greenery. Have a great weekend and keep your eye on the weather!

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Yes!!! You never quite know what will spark inspiration! That’s what makes it so magical. ❤️ Thankfully we only caught the outer bands of the hurricane and had only damage to a couple trees. We never lost power either!

[@lindasmith5190]

I think a bedskirt adds softness. ❤

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Couldn’t agree more!!

[@JanisLaDam]

Loving the bed skirt! I have loved the look since I was a teenager. And love that you bring decor into your home that you love. Your home always gives me a cozy, happy feeling. Thank you. ❤

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Awww I appreciate that so much!! I definitely want to convey that feeling into all my videos. ❤️

[@tammyleviner3070]

Oh you are so so right! I don't follow trends..i buy & decorate my home with the things I love, the things that make me want to stop & touch them, that me me smile every time i look at them! Sure I love things that others have, and want a lot of those things.. but they're all primitive, antiques, old vintage, regency/Victorian pieces. Those are the things I love! So even if I have some of the same pieces, there still a bit different with the age, and displayed or styled differently. I think the art you've made is very pretty! I've actually been looking for some old cameo brooches, i want to put on a piece of velvet in an ornate frame. I haven't had luck finding the cameo's, not that i can afford anyways, so i actually went on line today & found some. I may look for A vintage one a little longer tho. There's so many thrift stores in the area we're moving to, maybe I'll find one! But watching you make this piece just inspires me more! Such A beautiful frame!❤ I think the bedskirt looks beautiful, perfect with your bedding! Just gives it such A beautiful look altogether, goes really well with the aesthetic of the room. The dried florals are really pretty. I'm obsessed with your mirror, its stunning!❤ I don't really buy very much seasonal decor other than Christmas. I may buy a few things thrifting, if i really like it. I'm just not one to continuously change decor, like i said i love my things & love to see them all the time. I don't care to box things up! If I find a couple pieces of seasonal decor, I'll just add them in then remove them. I'll move more at Christmas, i love decorating for Christmas! Something I loved doing as a child with my mama, and it does bring me joy! But I still try not to move too many things😄 Love the clock, and the swan looks so pretty sitting in front of it🦢🌸 I love the art by the TV, i love Victorian art, some of my favorite to collect. The little butterfly on the branch, as well as the other places, is a sweet, whimsical touch!🦋🌿 You've really turned this into such a beautiful, cozy, cottagey space..i love the look! Truly enjoyed watching!😊

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Hi Tammy!! First off, thank you so much for always leaving me such wonderful, thoughtful comments. I always feel like we have a conversation…and I love that!!! I think sometimes trends can align with what we already love…and that’s the best of both worlds I suppose. I love the idea of collecting the cameos to make an art piece. That would be stunning! I have no doubt that you will find the perfect pieces. Sometimes those things just take time! I’m right there with you…I’m getting more and more selective of the pieces that I bring into our home. I really try to focus on things that I love so much that I will want them out all year long. That way I don’t have to worry too much about finding places store them. Keep it classic! I hope you are having a wonderful week…and I’ll see you in the next video. ❤️

[@susanhirsch7516]

So glad you doing something different l.am so tired of the same decor l only change my decor in the fall and really change Christmas just love your decor ❤️ 💕

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

I truly appreciate that! It’s definitely refreshing for me when I change this up. That’s why I love focusing on finding timeless, classic pieces. That way I can move things around from room to room as I feel the need to freshen up a space. I don’t have to worry too much about storing extra decor that way! Thank you so much for watching!

[@sandrabotard7687]

I love your bedroom! The butterfly art was so cute and the bed skirt was perfect. Beautiful as always.

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Thank you so so much Sandra!!! I always appreciate your support. ❤️

[@aprilninthr2886]

Bedroom looks lovely. Bedskirt really neatens up the look. Little by little, piece by piece and you can transform a room into something very special. I like greens in the room, too. Have a nice weekend!

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Yes!! You just have to be patient! A curated home doesn’t happen overnight. You have to be willing to wait for the right pieces! Our home is definitely a work in progress. ❤️ Thank you so much for watching!

Lovely.🌱

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Thank you so much my friend! ❤️

[@AcornHillHomestead]

I have tried and failed at the trendy home decor and am much happier letting my home evolve over time with things I love like those English Country homes. Fill your home with what you love and you’ll be much happier and comfortable. Repurposing old pieces are so much better than buying new. I use those small cream white swan planters to hold wrapped teabags. I set up a cute white open shelf for my beverage/dessert station with vintage white plates and cups.

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Your decor sounds absolutely lovely!! I think there can be ways to incorporate trends in small ways, if they feel appropriate for your space. But you should absolutely do what feels right for your space and for your sensibilities. I tend to think of trends as a “suggestion”…that I can take or leave. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, I’m beyond grateful!

[@debbielevy4554]

Perfect as usual! I love how you allow your home to grow and breathe along with you. And I laughed to myself when I saw you bend the ranunculus stems. I do that as well, so that in case next time I need the stems longer. Gorgeous💕

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Yes!! Our homes really are living, breathing things…that change and evolve right along with us. ❤️ I definitely try to keep the stems in tact as much as I can. You are absolutely right…you never know when when you might need that stem to be longer. And there is no going back once you cut it! 😂

WOW I love the butterfly art you created. I have been struggling to find art decor for the walls in my bedroom. I have a vintage botanical art theme. I am inspired to try and create my own version xxx

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Ohhh the butterfly art would be perfect!!! I’m actually doing some more for our living room. You could even use velvet for the background for an even higher end look. I thought of that after the fact…and will probably do that next time. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. ❤️

I'm so glad you mentioned about doing what you like. I am fully on that bandwagon. Everything turned out beautiful. I've been thinking this last week about adding something different to our room as well.

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Go for it!!! I’ve definitely found I’m happiest with our home when I lean into the things that make us happy. I did the farmhouse style in our last home ( with a lot of the same pieces we have now) and it just felt off. Because of where we lived and how trendy it was…it just felt like that was what I was supposed to be doing. Anyhow….glad to be out of that faze!! 😂 Thank you so much for always showing up for me every week. ❤️

@@ourhomeonlawrence I don’t know if you will get this or not. My dad was a carpenter and builder. So I learned a few things from him just by watching. I’ll share one with you, when you do your wood work. Use a little bit of caulking to seal and finish little gaps and such then when you paint over it. It gives you a more finish product. I’m old now and through the years you learn little tricks. My mom was a seamstress I should have paid more attention to her work. I did pick up a couple of things from her.. but I really don’t enjoy sewing. I find sometimes says this expensive if you just buy it already made you’re a lovely young woman and I can see you are a wonderful mom. God bless

Absolutely beautiful! How do you keep the leaves on the fresh branches from drying and curling or wilting? 👍👍♥️

[@ourhomeonlawrence]

Thank you so much!!! So I usually try to put a mason jar with water into any vessel that I can’t fill with water. But there are certain branches in our yard, that actually will stay fresh looking for a week or more with no water at all. In hindsight…I would have tried to put a shallow plastic container with water in the bottom of the basket. The branches I put in there wilted pretty quickly. I’m still learning!
