Chairish Room Challenge

I was recently contacted to participate in a room challenge by Chairish, have you heard of them? It's a super cool site where you can buy and sell furniture. This is a dream come true for my unhealthy mid century modern obsession! The challenge was to take an accent chair found on their site and design a whole room around it fitting in the theme "White to Bright." Again, total dream! My whole apartment is "White to Bright." I envision this room with white walls and the furniture and accessories adding all the color! Below is what I came up with.

Nautical Party Details

Ok, I promise this is the last day I will share anything from Mason's party! I just wanted to show you a few of the details from the day, Starting with the centerpiece!

My mom made the centerpiece from tissue paper, Swedish Fish, and Easter grass. Really simple, but really cute right?

We hung an  oversized tag that matched the thank you treats (see below) using the watercolor background from the invitation. My mom also created the life preservers in the windows.

On the mantle we had an awesome bunting created by my mother in law, sailboats that my mom and sister made, and then we enlarged a portion of the invitation and framed it.

I love how the bunting turned out! She created the stripes herself with bias tape!

My mother in law also created the bunting over the island.

I found REALLY cheap stickers (1 cent for 4 stickers) so I printed a little thank you on them. I filled cellophane bags with Swedish Fish and sealed them with the stickers.

One thing we didn't get pictures of was the diaster of a cake! I baked and filled a 4 layer cake and my little sister was going to make it all cute and cover it in fondant. We have no idea why, but while she was decorating the cake split directly down the middle! It was atrocious, but it was tasty!
