Schools almost out which means summer time! Now if Schools almost out which means summer time! Now if only the weather would catch up. 🤪  We’re hoping to have our basement finished for some summer play dates and movie nights and can’t wait to put this gorgeous banquette downstairs.

This is the Gabriel Banquette by @sixpennyhome in the color Quiet Sage. It’s going to make a great addition to our family space for all the game nights! For now, I’m enjoying it here and currently sitting on the cozy feather down cushions. The best part, I feel like I’m working from a coffee shop. 😄 

I have several pieces from Sixpenny and love them all! Feel free to ask me any questions, I’m happy to help. You can also order free fabric swatches from their website!

If you watch my stories, you know how much I love If you watch my stories, you know how much I love my @ergattafitness rower. #ergattapartner Here’s the top 3 things that I love about my Ergatta rower (use code FRENG50):

1. The sleek design. It fits right into my home with the dark wood stain and modern vibe.
2. The workouts are always fun and entertaining. I never feel bored while working out and finally feel like I have a good routine going. My muscles are feeling so much stronger and it’s been a lifesaver on my knees and joints.
3. It’s a space saver! This rower is perfect if you are short on space and is so easy to fold up/take down.
It’s no secrete that I love my rower and can’t wait to get some more workouts in! Linked the rower in my bio for easy shopping. #ad https://bit.ly/FRENG50
Here she is, the sofa of my dreams! She’s ultra Here she is, the sofa of my dreams! She’s ultra fluffy and ultra cozy. Seriously, it’s like you’re sitting on a cloud. The best part, only took 10 weeks to get it. I’ve heard some pretty scary furniture stories lately. 😳

I’m still working on that back wall and thinking an oversized mirror would help brighten up this space. Or a really good gallery wall, I’m sure it will take a few more Instagram story polls to figure it out. 😂  Please tell me I’m not the only one indecisive in my own home.

DIY electric fireplace reveal! What do you think? DIY electric fireplace reveal!

What do you think? I’m still in shock. I can’t believe this is our living room and that Nate and I created that fireplace. 😍 It’s BETTER than I ever could have imagined. Swipe to see the before, just 7 short weeks ago.

As promised, I wrote a tutorial on how we created this fireplace and provided more details on the SimpliFire 30" Electric Fireplace Insert that we used. Use code FRENGPARTY10 for 10% off your purchase of any SimpliFire by @heatnglofireplaces through April 30th, 2022. 

On the blog, I also included the exact measurements of our fireplace and what it would cost to build your own DIY fireplace. Link in bio!

Do you have one sink or two sinks in your bathroom Do you have one sink or two sinks in your bathroom?

We’ve always had one, but so excited to not have to share with Nate. Love ya Nate, but this girl needs her space.😅 But seriously, I’m legit shook. I can’t believe this is our bathroom. 😍 Our previous homes always had a nice primary bathroom, but nothing like this. I might start hiding out here so if I go missing, you’ll know where to find me. 😅 

Oh and fun fact, I can’t count. I ordered 14 knobs for our vanity and should have ordered 18. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yay for math.

I linked all bathroom sources over on my LTK. Just tap the link in my bio or search frengpartyof6 in the LTK app.

How to style open shelves with my favorite finds

Do you love open shelves as much as I do? We had 3 areas of open shelving – our living room, kitchen and pantry, so clearly I LOVE open shelves. I’m consistently receiving messages and comments asking how I style our open shelves, so I’m going to give you my top 3 tips, as well as linking my favorite items I have used or recommend to style shelves.

This post contains affiliate links where I may receive a commission from any purchases you make. See my full disclosure here and thank you for using my links!

Before You Style

If it’s your first time styling your shelves, they are probably pretty bare. If not, make sure you clear your shelves so that you start with a blank slate. Take this time to group all of your décor pieces together. Put your coffee table books grouped together, vases together, frames together, smaller trinket items grouped together, you get the idea. This makes it easier to visually see all the pieces you have available.

lamp // cutting board // planter // rattan bowl // white plates // vintage bowl // recycled glasses
pitcher // cookbook
Layering

There’s several ways to layer – by height, by size and by texture. I love mixing natural, organic textures, woven materials, and different wood tones into my shelves. Don’t forget taller vases and picture frames!

When styling your open shelves, make sure you separate your heavier pieces. This will help keep your eye moving throughout your shelves.

Group in three’s

Have you heard of the rule of three’s when styling shelves? I try to stick to this rule because it helps create a natural flow for your eye to follow and is visually pleasing. Plus, grouping items into three’s looks more organized and curated.

Make sure you also leave a negative space in between groups. You don’t want to squish as many items as you can onto the shelves. Sometimes less is more.

stems // vase // wide brass vase // vintage basket // wooden jack // coffee table books // basket // candle // picture frame

There you have it! My secret formula (well, not so secret anymore). Here’s another secret. There is three items I ALWAYS include in my open shelves:

  1. Picture frames for added height, yes, even in the kitchen
  2. Cookbooks or coffee table books, depending on the placement of the shelves (living room vs. kitchen)
  3. Plants or dried stems for added height, texture and life

Now that we covered how to style shelves, below are some of my favorite items that I either currently have or have been eyeing for our new shelves.
