[Friday Finds: Vol. 37]
Transitional Design, Best of Etsy: Monica Saxton, and A Free Inspiring Printable!

Published on March 18, 2022

Today, I’m sharing my love for transitional design, showcasing an Etsy shop I love and giving you a free and inspiring printable!

1. Transitional Design

You might have seen the words transitional design pop up now and again as you scrolled through Instagram or Pinterest. It is a hugely popular decor style at the moment and for good reason- think of it as the perfect balance between modern and traditional. It is a considered and curated style that is timless and thoughtful. Think neutrals with accents in darker colours like black, navy and green. From what I’ve observed, transitional spaces typically feature either Moroccan or Persian style rugs and add lots of texture in decor and accessories alongside natural fabrics like linen. Stripes and prints are usually on a smaller scale, plants are a focal point and art is prominent- mostly of the vintage variety like oil landscapes, still life or portraits. It is understated but impactful and is definitely a favourite of mine because of those reasons!

Here are a few examples of transitional living room design.

2. Best of Etsy: Monica Saxton

Often times as I browse Etsy, I come across stores where literally everything ends up on my wish list. Monica Saxton is one of them. Here are a few of their pieces (almost all, tbh lol because I couldn’t decide!).
Happy shopping!

3. Words to Live By and a Free Printable to Inspire!

“There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharlal Nehru

This is one of my all-time favourite quotes and something I keep in mind as I navigate through life in all my roles. I firmly believe, and have experienced, all of the good things that happen when you keep an open mind about new experiences. I’ve also been on the other side of living through a fearful lens and dreading change and all I’ll say about that  is “0/10, Would not recommend”.

Here’s the link to the free printable (ZIP file). I hope you’ll put it up in your home and that it will inspire you too!

I DID IT! 💪🏼 // But seriously, this garage p I DID IT! 💪🏼 // But seriously, this garage pantry of ours was out of control. 🙈 It got to the point where I’d just walk in and walk right out. I finally had enough and ordered these three totally necessary pantry organization containers and it’s been life changing! I won’t lie- I walk in there now just to admire how neat everything is. 🤣👉🏼 Everything is linked in my bio in my LTK shop! #sofreshmyhome #pantryorganisation

LATELY… // Same room, same time, different light LATELY… // Same room, same time, different lighting, display shelf, crooked art, book stacks, way too many throw pillows but at least they all coordinate haha. It’s a bit of a mash happening here at the moment but with family visiting in a couple months and some big life changes coming next year inshallah, I’m leaving this room as it is. It’s where we all gather and there’s a lot to be said for the comfort of status quo. #sofreshmyhome

A LITTLE WILD AND FREE // And as maximalist as it A LITTLE WILD AND FREE // And as maximalist as it gets around here lol. There’s something about making mixed arrangements from farmer’s market blooms, isn’t there? Also, eucalyptus smells heavenly. 😍 I really need to buy it more often. #sofreshmyhome
