Get the Modern Classic Look for Less!

My favorite home decorating style is a mix of contemporary modern and classic traditional. I think the two styles pair so well together and create a fresh, and casual atmosphere in a home. Whenever I’m browsing through Pinterest, “Modern Classic” is a style that I see all throughout designer homes. I love the look, but I don’t love the price!

I’m a big believer that you can have a stylish home on a regular budget. There’s no reason that you need to spend $90 on a pillow cover (for example) in order to have a beautiful home. That’s just crazy! So, I decided it was time to start figuring out how I could get that modern classic look for less.

Today I’m sharing my favorite kitchen styling accessories.

In order to make a room look lived in and put together, you need to style it a little. Adding accessories to a space in a purposeful way makes a room feel thought out and pulled together.

Just like any other room in your house, the in order to make a kitchen look put together, you need to style it. The best part about the kitchen is that the styling accessories are also functional!
Utensils, bowls, and even dish towels can all be used to style your kitchen. Here are some of my favorites!
