We are happy to be working once again with Kathryn from Every Cook Nook and Cranny! She is a Colorado resident and busy mom to three little children. Decorating is her relaxation and she loves to share her home interior designs. “My style is rustic farmhouse, but I love all things vintage, rustic, and chippy,” said Kathryn. My spaces tend to be light and bright and I love mixing woods and metals.”

We built our house a little over three years ago and have been working on making it a home ever since. This year we decided to take on the challenge of renovating our basement. Let’s call this space a mancave meets sports and gaming paradise with boho flair! Quite interesting and challenging, right?!?

I decided I wanted a change from my typical farmhouse style once I fell in love with the idea of a black board and batten wall. I had an idea of creating a moody space with boho flair. On the other hand, my husband wanted games, sports, big TV, and comfort. I honestly didn’t know if we could blend both our wants into one cohesive space that would make everyone in the family happy.

We decided to head to AFW for some inspiration and of course we were not disappointed. They had everything to meet both of our needs for this space. The three piece gray sectional gave my husband the comfort he wanted, while still giving me the look I was going for. Paired with the black and white accent chairs it, created the perfect boho vibe I was seeking.

When creating a space, details matter and AFW’s decor department had everything we needed to bring the space full circle. AFW was a one stop shop in our effort to create the perfect space. It makes your life much easier when you can find everything you need in one place. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and look forward to many movie/game nights in our future.

A small space bedroom can be just as inviting and functional as a larger bedroom if you know the right tricks. Here's how we put together a small bedroom that combines casual, cozy looks with functional choices.

Living in a small space doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice style or settle for pieces that don’t work with your space. Here’s how we designed an open living/dining room that is comfortable, clean, and bursting with style.
