The Lovely Side is excited to partner with Kirkland's for this post!
On Friday, I revealed some of the decorating I've been doing in the new house... specifically the vintage charm I added to the foyer using items from Kirkland's Flea Market Collection. Check it out here.
Flea market style doesn't always describe a vintage, antique, rustic, or distressed look. It can also mean bright, colorful, and bohemian... which is exactly what I'm going for in my living room.
While scavenging Kirkland's online Flea Market Collection, I found items that exuded the exact lively, free-spirited look I was going for – and based my living room decor around them.
Living Room Inspiration
Color Scheme: Orange, Turquoise, White, Cream, Beige
Style Goals: Flea Market Finds + Bohemian Spirit
1. Valerie Pillows: I'm a sucker for brightly patterned throw pillows. I fell in love with Kirkland's aqua Valerie pillows and spice Valerie accent pillows at first sight. The pattern features some of my favorite decorating colors – turquoise, orange, and cream. Plus, I knew the pillows would look fabulous on my retro orange couch.
2. Turquoise Hadley floor Floor Lamp: Our living room currently lacks overhead lighting because the antique four-pendant chandelier needs to be rewired. Until that's crossed off of G's to-do list, we're relying heavily on accent lighting. I largely prefer accent lighting anyway, but I also don't want to take up valuable surface top real estate with table lamps. Kirkland's turquoise Hadley floor lamp is an ideal solution. I love the slightly distressed teal base, pretty ivory shade, and the fact that it's really sturdy. (My cats won't be knocking this floor lamp over!)
3. Orange Turntable: As soon as I find the box it's packed away in, I'll be bringing my record player into this room. I can't wait to sit back, relax, and listen to vinyl in a fully decorating living room!
4. White Bookcase: I was a little hesitant to use my white furniture in the house, since the rooms here all boast beautiful, un-painted wood trim. But I think the balance of white and rich, dark wood will work well with my eclectic, slightly bohemian aesthetic.
5. Orange Coffee Table Cart: I have this exact coffee table, but mine's orange instead of turquoise. So try to imagine that. ;)
6. Birch Side Table: To shake up the white furniture + natural wood combo, I'll bring in my little birch accent table for a rustic touch.
7. Baskets: Storage baskets will also add some much-needed storage space and a down-to-earth feel thanks to their natural fibers.
8. The Big, Beige, La-Z-Boy: This was G's chair and it's sooooo comfy. Plus, the beige helps balance out the bright orange of my couch.
9. Turquoise Fretwork Rug: I'll be throwing down my turquoise fretwork rug to really play up the colors in the Valerie pillows.
10. White Bookcase as TV Stand: I really struggled with where to put this white bookcase in the new house. In my apartment, it was a great bookcase for my office. Here, we've decided it works best as a tv stand. Honestly, love it... and now the white bookcase isn't the only crisp white piece of furniture in the room.

Here's what my living looks like so far:
Aren't those pillows, lovely? It's still pretty empty otherwise, which is a clear sign that I still have a lot to do! I have a lot of boxes to unpack, but I can't wait to continue decorating this eclectic, bohemian space.
Here's another pic with a bit more going on – and a glimpse of our stunning stained glass window!
Oh! And as a bonus, I added some flea market style into my kitchen, too. I've loved blue mason majors since before they were cool. And, I've been looking for a spoon rest that I actually like for months. So I couldn't resist this adorable mason jar-inspired spoon rest from Kirkland's!
