Basement Inspiration


This bag has a story behind it.

See, we've been in the process of remodeling our basement. Just doing some much needed updating - painting, throw pillows, wall art. We've lived here five years and are now finally getting around to this. It just seemed like there was always something else that took priority and time. And let's face it. . . a basement is easy to hide away and put off. But our family uses this space a ton and I knew it was finally time to make it our own.

So I found this fabric on a blog and fell in love with it. I loved it's modern floral print and that it tied our smokey blue walls in with our navy couches, all while adding a touch of burgundy. The couches have been with us for a long time and aren't being replaced anytime soon so we were forced to tie it all together. This fabric did just that, and I love it so much that I ordered a bunch extra for my shop.

Who knew that basement redecorating would inspire a new bag? It just goes to show that there is inspiration all around us if we take the time to see it.
