  • Living it up in my Structube Bedroom

    Living it up in my Structube Bedroom

    With winter in full swing, I generally don’t feel motivated to go outside…..ever! One of the things Mel and I are fond of is the ULTRA rare lazy Sunday in bed where we sleep in, maybe have breakfast in bed. and watch a couple of movies and just vege out after a long week of events, meetings, and content production.

    That being said, having a comfortable bedroom to spend time in when we can is super important to us. Naturally, being big fans of the pieces we picked out for both our living room and dining room we went back to Structube to pick out our bedroom set. Sticking with the wood motifs we have going on in the house already only seemed logical. For the bed, we went with the Clarence frame pairing it with matching VINCI gold and marble side tables. We did get a painting to put above the bed however we weren’t thinking and it ended up being a touch too big to place there, so we ended up repurposing it for our kitchen/dining area which did end up working well in the end. I do enjoy the nook we have in our room, it lets in so much light especially in the morning and early afternoon. So I lobbied Mel to get a chair to keep there, where I can just sit and read a book from time to time! We landed on the KANJI chair and it was the one right from the moment I saw it. If you have the space to put a chair in your room, it just brings another reason to stay in your room haha.

    Being that we did purchase a very old house, storage is a huge issue for us. With closets being very narrow and deep, it’s hard to keep all our clothes as well as any other things we need to store. To mitigate a bit of that, we decided to get the Clarence 3 Drawer Chest for my day to day clothes that don’t require hanging. It saves me a bunch of space in my closets which I can use for other things, and the best part is that it matches with the Clarence bedframe we got. Next up, what room would be complete without a mirror of some sort? We picked up the Daniel Mirror that tends to move around the room quite often, especially when we are shooting.

    Now the thing with rooms is that once you have all your staples in there it’s time to accessorize and add a few extra touches to bring it all home. First off were our side table lamps, there is nothing worse than being in bed and having to get back up to turn off a light. Enter the THELMA table lamp, Mel has been obsessed with marble motifs for what feels like forever so we go one for each nightstand. If you have been following along with most of the decor in our house, it’s all very white! We picked up a faux Fiddle Leaf plant to bring a little pop of colour to the room which was very welcome. Oh and I almost forgot! Our dope light fixture, the Cassiopeia pendant actually has become the centrepiece the moment you walk in! Well, in any case, I just wanted to show you all how our space has transformed in the one and a half years we’ve been working on it. what do you think? I think the last piece for our room is finding another above the bed painting (that fits -_-) to just finish it all up.

    Outfitting The Dave Cave

    As many of you know Mel and I bought an old house back in July, so we’ve hand our hands full demolishing, rebuilding, and creating our own space. Mel has the entire house, and I don’t really give too much input as far as decor goes. My office however is my little sanctuary! I have had the pleasure to work with Amazon and the great products they carry. everything from decor, wall mounts for my TV, light fixtures have all been picked up from Amazon.ca.

    My ceiling fixture was super reasonable in price running me a cool $40! Crazy I know! It gives me all the light i need to light up my space and looks pretty dope too. It’s crazy to think that we live in a world now that you can hop on your computer, press a few buttons and a day later it just shows up at your front door. What a world we live in eh?

     

    I’ve never had a wall mounted TV before but always wanted one, now that I have my own place I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! ( I feel like such an adult haha).  I grabbed a Cheetah dual articulating mount so i have the freedom to move my TV around depending on my needs and again only $40!

    And of course what would my office be without a desk to get all my work done at? Copped this simple desk at a pretty good price and gives me all the space i need to do whatever i need to get done. It’s minimal, looks sleek in black, and gets the job done.

    So I would say, if you need anything for your home office or just home in general Amazon has got you covered no doubt. Go take a look around, you might be surprised at what you are able to find.

    What home projects do you have going on?
