Decorating our home with Pier 1

Natalie currently lives with me and my husband, in our newly renovated house (this is the first house we've ever owned and also the first house we've ever renovated... more on that later). Overall, Natalie and I have different senses of style, but we do have similar taste. We would both describe our home decor style as "eclectic with a global twist." We love to collect pieces from our travels and use these pieces to decorate our home. Otherwise, Natalie tends to be more of a minimalist and I tend to be more of a hoarder... Our home is a reflection of who we are, our personal style and our story.

My home decor aesthetic mimics my personal style. I like to wear understated clothing, so I can play around with bold shoes and ridiculous accessories. I applied this same concept to the overall design of the house. The visual theme is white + black + accents of natural wood & plants. I wanted to give our home a simple and understated backdrop so that we could have fun with decor as our style inevitably evolves and changes. For example, I'm currently having a pink moment— I've been on the hunt to find the coolest pink accents for the house BUT I realize that this pink phase will probably end in a few months.. I definitely wouldn't want pink walls or pink cabinets... I'm sure you get my point... decor is the place to take risks, have fun and really express yourself! 

So after finishing the reno and moving into our house, we hit up Pier 1 (at the Galleria) to find some new pieces to update and add to our existing decor. Pier 1 is all about helping you find the thing(s) that make your home a reflection of who you are. If you haven't been to Pier 1 lately, you NEED to make a trip over to your nearest store to check out their new in-store experience— you won't be disappointed!
