Old World Charm for Our Home by World Market

Since getting married in March, I have been daydreaming about all of the updates that I could make to Dave's our home. I have lived with D for a couple of years already but never really felt like the house was mine to update and change. Slowly, I have switched from this mindset and have been making a list of all the things I want to do to the house.

Our family room. Notice the old coffee table, lamp, and horrendous art on the walls.

We have already updated several rooms including the master bathroom and closet (bedroom is in progress), guest bathroom (aka my bathroom), a large walk in closet (now my walk in closet) and our third bedroom (my craft room), along with a couple of other projects here and there. Because many of the updates have been about me (oops!) D and I have been brainstorming and shopping slowly for our family room makeover. World Market is one of the stores that we have been able to find decorative items that we can agree on!

D is frugal and tends to hang on to things for quite some time. As you can see from the pictures, our lamps, coffee table, and end tables are quite outdated. We also would love to have new furniture but since our current furniture is still comfortable, we focus on other updates that need fixed as soon as possible such as our bedroom closet that fell down over the summer.

Another view of the first level in our house. As you can tell the kitchen also needs updating.

One of the reasons that I love World Market is because of the decorative items that provide old world charm in a variety of ways. World Market has a wide variety of themes that help inspire me when I am shopping. My favorite is the European influences found throughout the store. I studied abroad in college and my experiences in Europe and England are still very dear to my heart. Because of my experiences abroad, I tend to find myself attracted to decor with British flair.

Another reason that I love World Market is because of their selection of items and the very reasonable price tag accompanying unique items that you don't find in every store. D and I agree that we want brown leather furniture for our family room and we love this captain's chair and ottoman from World Market.
