Basically since the new closet made it's debut in my Closet Tour video, I had been eyeing the big empty space in the middle of the room...
Well, almost empty. ;)
I knew it needed something. A little island of drawers and some counter space for accessories maybe? A big ottoman? I knew I had to decide between the two because there definitely wouldn't be room for both. There were pros to each choice. I had no idea which to choose so I kind of chose neither for a while. I knew either choice would be an expensive choice so I kind of decided to sleep on it. For a month.
Which really ended up working out perfectly because once I actually used the space for a month, the decision was clear.
Ottoman it would be.
Why? Because I found myself needing a place to sit when putting on shoes and a place to lay out outfits while I picked them out. But mostly so that the floor wouldn't catch my things. Because I would NEVER throw clothes on the floor....
Ok, it happens sometimes.
Anyway, I found the PERFECT one at one of my favorite home decor websites right now, LuluandGeorgia.com. It's the perfect size, perfect color, and it feels really nicely made. I'm glad I went with a fun color (it also comes in navy and beige). It really brings some life to the space.
So since I promised you all that I would spill ALL the details as soon as I found the perfect piece, here it goes!
It's the Pillowtop Ottoman in Sea Mist...
I love the size of it. It's very narrow, almost bench-like, however, the fluffy pillowtop layer on top gives it some softness. It's lightweight and sits on casters, so I can scoot it around the carpet easily if it needs to be moved. The genius of this?? I still have room for an island of drawers if I ever need them! I could just sit the ottoman in front of it right up against it. It's just the perfect piece for this space and I'm so in love!
Check out the pretty piping... The color reminds me almost of a Tiffany blue. Love.
So what's with my recent Lulu & Georgia obsession? You may remember my gorg rug I purchased a few weeks ago that completed the foyer...
I'll do a full post on the foyer soon since it's one area that sort of quickly came together. I'll definitely share all the rooms eventually!
Ugh, this rug is amazing. It's the Sabine rug.
Anyway, I love the eclectic mix of modern, traditional, and glamorous items they carry. Very much my style, which I'd describe as a huge mash-up of pretty things I like. ;)
The gorgeous mint color of the ottoman is amazing and I definitely couldn't be happier with it!
Speaking of gorgeous mint colors... I noticed while taking some shots of the new ottoman that I had coincidentally selected shorts of the same color for that day's look.
Mint is definitely one of (if not my fav) colors for Spring!
Here's a quick OOTD for ya.
I LOVE how a simple pair of shorts in a fun color can make an otherwise super simple outfit pop and look pulled-together.
Top: LNA, Shorts: J. Crew, Belt: Forever 21, Bag: Tory Burch, Shoes, Tory Burch, Necklace: Stella & Dot (Rebel Pendant),
Oh, and Waylon totally approves.
You've definitely got a girls dream closet Tiffany! Great decision on the ottoman. Love love that colour too!

ReplyDeletexo,
Sincerely Miss Ash
It really works perfectly in your closet Tiffany! We are so glad that you love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat touch and piece of your closet! thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWe just did a closet remodel and I was looking for a similar ottoman (long/narrow), but then decided on a small, square ottoman from Target as my closet isn't as roomy as your closet/room. Now I don't have to sit on the floor to put on my shoes and that's good enough for me :-)

Waylon is smiling! <3 :) Cant wait to see him in the background now that he has something to sit on! I love that color, great choice Tiffany!!
ReplyDeleteWhere is your rug and mannequin from in your closet?
ReplyDeleteThe rug is an Overstock find. The mannequin is from PB Teen (got it about 5 years ago)

I really love those ment shorts! especially with the black shirt. I really like pairing mint and black with some peach/coral jewelry. I think that makes it pop a bit more. I think this necklace would look too cute. http://www.redemptionstyle.com/collections/accessories/products/color-block-me-necklace
ReplyDeleteSo pretty-- the ottoman and the shorts! I have the same shorts in lavender :)
ReplyDeleteBesides everything else awesome about this post, just wanted to say you got me into shorts!!!! the last few ootds you had shorts on I was like "omg, I need to buy shorts". I hate shorts, too. I could never find a pair that were long enough where my butt wasn't hanging out or (*coughstretchmarkscough*) LMAO. But anyways, I found a couple of pairs that actually are great fit and I can't wait to put cute outfits together with them. Now I want a pair of mint ones and white, too!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that mint colour! I also love your looks and your Youtube's Channel ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry for my english, i' French ;)

ReplyDeleteLove the ottoman and you look very pretty in the photos...xoxo

Tiffany, I absolutely love your walk-in robe and the ottoman. It is definitely a feature point of the room (although nothing will ever top Waylon's cuteness)and definitely draws the room together. I am currently converting a small bedroom into my own dressing room and feel inspired by your posts, so thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the mint ottoman! It looks so plush, and it seems really perfect for that space! I think you have my dream closet. I love your mint shorts too!! And the pup (I'm always a sucker for the pup pics).
ReplyDeleteLOVE the OOTD! Gorg. BUT, just had to comment on the new tree backdrop at the new house! Very vibrant and refreshing to look at on a blog page :).
ReplyDeleteI seriously love seeing home decor posts on here. I can't do much with the makeup but I can with your fabulous style and taste! I always look forward to see what you do with your house! Don't listen to people's comments about not liking so many decor posts please ;)
