Sunny Circle Studio Wallpaper Has Arrived!

---

Our very own line of wall coverings?
Check!....One Tulips, that is.

‘CHECK ONE TULIPS’ WALLPAPER IN ‘STATELY’

That’s the name of this super cute peel-and-stick wallpaper. It’s just one of the bold, new designs from Sunny Circle’s collection of wall coverings with
Urban Walls.

And we’re so excited to share it with you!

‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’ WALLPAPER IN ‘ELEGANT’

Since we are Sunny Circle Studio, we found inspiration in our name—deciding to base every design off of what can be made from a circle…half circle or quarter circle.

It's been really fun to literally start from scratch and create our own collection of wall coverings that can hopefully inspire more interior Sunny-Circle vibes for folks who don’t get to work with us directly.

Our goal was to create a variety of wallpaper, murals and decals that played with color, shape and scale in simple but interesting ways that still felt cohesive.

‘Tulip kisses’ in ‘elegant’

Each design—ranging in subject from flowers and waves to birds and suns—comes in three colorways: Bright (which is more youthful), Elegant (which leans more classic) and Stately (which is a bit more dramatic). The collection brings Scandi-vibes and mid-century modern feels, with lots of bold geometric prints juxtaposed with the softness of rounded edges.

One of the best parts about wallpaper is the fact that there are so many ways to use it—especially peel-and-stick. Sure, you can go full-room…and we do! But sometimes you just want to have some fun with an accent wall.

A Relaxed and Inviting Living-Dining Combo

Step inside this delightful home
deep in the heart of Texas

It’s not everyday that we actually get to see the fruits of our labor. That’s because a good portion of the work we do takes place virtually through e-design.

So we were thrilled to get the opportunity to visit one of our clients’ homes on a trip to Austin, Texas! It was such an amazing experience seeing our digital vision come to life—and meeting our amazing clients who did an A+ job of pulling it together in their space.

Storage With Depth

The challenge with this lovely, light-filled home was the combination living and dining area. The layout made the dining area small and created a few awkward areas that could use more flow. Finding a much-needed storage option for the dining area without the depth of a traditional sideboard was key. This tall, black arched cabinet fits the bill since it takes advantage of more vertical space instead. 

The first what-do-we-
do-here space was the long, solid wall running from the front of the living room to the back of the dining room. A gridded gallery wall made up of the family’s favorite memories became the perfect way to seamlessly transition between the two areas.

A Space With Intention

The area in front to the stairs was the
other space giving the homeowners pause.
The key was creating a little vignette with
this cute bench and eye-catching pillow, along with some simple geometric artwork. It’s always fun to see how just a few items (four here) can create such a distinctive, intentional-feeling space.

And finally, here’s a look at the mockup Sunny Circle Studio created for this living room/dining room combo, side by side with the final, lived-in space IRL.

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. Nope! It’s a cool kid’s room.

Kids’ bedrooms are super cool. That’s because you can do super fun things with them—like pull off a superhero theme.

Which is exactly what we did for this little client’s first big-boy room. Let’s get into it!

Newspaper print gray (aka SW Frosty White) walls were the perfect starting place for letting our imaginations run wild.

Since all superheroes need a setting, it only made sense to create a literal backdrop using bold, black cityscape decals.

Juxtaposed against the crisp white of the walls, made it a submersive experience, like stepping into the pages of a comic book.

On the fourth wall we kept with the hand-drawn style with a graphic patterned, mustard-colored peel-and-stick wallpaper broken up by a set of superhero art prints.

Another thing every superhero needs is proper rest. Those heroic endeavors can really take it out of you. That’s why every superhero needs a good bed to help them recharge.

Of course, we also wanted to make sure it was a bed that could work well into superhero retirement. After all, interests can change quickly with kids, so it’s always good to find bigger pieces (like furniture) that can grow and evolve with them.

A lesser-known fact about superheroes is that they can often be pretty messy. Bigger things to worry about, you know. Simple white storage bins on the bookcase help with that, making cleanup faster than the speed of light.

Then, we topped it all off with some superhero sheets, a fun pillow (similar), and some different styles of artwork to go with the theme.

After that it was just a matter of anchoring these audacious accents with timeless stripes in the rug and a grid pattern for the comforter to help bring things back down to Earth a bit.

Bang! Pow! Zing! Here are the secret plans (a.k.a. e-design mock up) we delivered to our client. She took them and ran with it. We think she did an amazing job pulling it all together!

20 Faux Florals Worth Checking Out

Not just florals, we’ve got plants too! Keep reading for a killer selection :)

Whether you love them, hate them or tolerate their presence – faux florals, plants and botanicals are a mainstay in the homes across America. At least I think they are.

And the reason? They have gotten so good, quality-wise and are very real-looking! Even in the last 5 years, I feel like the bar has been raised. Also, it doesn’t hurt that they require very little maintenance and never die!

We are all too familiar with the faux’s around here as we have light and pet issues with real plants, so these can be a great option if you want the feel of greenery but can’t keep anything alive! No judgement here!

Personally, I like to mix real and faux for a collected vibe! You can never go wrong with a good mix!

And now, let’s dive into my favorites from around the internet, so of which, I own.

A Fresh Take on a Dark, Dated Entry

Between the textured, multicolored slate tiles, dark wood door and trim, and all the beige paint, the entryway in this house (er, actually, just about the whole house) looked like more of a whiskey and cigar smoke-filled hunting lodge than the cute suburban mid-century split level she deserves to be.

Listing Photo

We knew it had to go. Obviously, the trim and paint was a simple fix, but the tile wasn’t so easy. With so many projects to do throughout the house—and the fact that the slate carries through the kitchen (which is also in need of a total gut job) we didn’t want to invest in new floors just yet. But that didn’t mean the rustic, dark earth tones emanating from floors would be allowed to stick around much longer.

Thankfully, we found a paint specifically made for floors. Rustoleum has a two-step system with a colored base coat and a clear protective coat that are meant to improve the look of dated floors like these. So after scrubbing the mess out of the floors with Krud Kutter cleaner, we tried it.

As you can see, the transformation was instant and impactful. We also decided to extend the two-toned paint job (made up of Clare Paint’s Headspace on top and Vacay on the bottom to the door and trim, which had (briefly) been painted white.

And while we were at it, we also painted the ceiling to really surround you in color when you came through the door. Plus, it also made a fun background for this fun Sagittarius constellation chandelier from Sezerac Stitches.

Changing out the hardware on the coat closet door to this fun jewel baguette handle and a new 4-gang light switch plate tied it together with the existing vintage front door hardware to give it a more cohesive look.

Then we pulled this hall tree (similar) back into place, added a pop of color and texture with some peonies from Urban Stems, a little bit of art, and some faux foliage from Afloral. And, in case you’re curious, styled on the hooks of this entryway power piece are a Fjallraven backpack, Kate Spade camera bag (similar), a black-and-white checkerboard jacket, and a kid’s fedora.

Next, we brought in this fun black and white geometric runner rug—and finished off the walls with a wall hanging and some pictures.

Of course, after the transformation of the floors brightened up the entire space so much we couldn’t resist expanding the project a bit….so stay tuned to see the rest of it!

HELLO, YELLOW!

Bring a little sunshine into your life.

Now that we’ve gotten through the annual pollen dump of spring, we’re back to loving yellow. It’s so bright, playful and refreshing. Joy in color form. Which is why we’ve found ourselves gravitating toward all things yellow lately. The good news is, we’ve found a ton of cute canary-colored finds all on Amazon, so you can get in on the fun too.

Take a look for yourself!

Main Bathroom: A French-feeling Refresh

Saying au revoir to a neutral space and bonjour to being surrounded by color.

Sometimes you get the itch. For something new. To be somewhere else. To change things up. To try something different. This is especially true for me. Especially lately.

So I decided to scratch all those itches in one colorful swoop with this main bathroom refresh. I’d been wanting to add some color to our classic primarily-white bath scheme for a while—and since I’d also been reminiscing about my last trip to Paris on my 10th wedding anniversary, I felt drawn to this soft and bright sage green, Benjamin Moore Cedar Grove.

Of course, at least in my home, it’s never as simple as just slapping some paint on. One thing seems to lead to another. Adding the green meant adding more black (on the shiplap behind the vanity) to create the right overall balance. Once we did that, the sconces had to be swapped out to match the updated aesthetic.

But let’s get back to this craveworthy sage color. I knew I wanted to maximize its impact—and the ceiling was calling its name…along with every bit of trim, every light switch plate, outlet and vent. We drenched everything in color to create an immersive experience that completely changed the feel of the space, adding a soothing, welcoming mood which is exactly what I was going for.

rug / vanity (similar) / sconce / basket / mirror / tub / towel ladder / towels

Then it was time to add some finishing touches!

A fun zig zag rug with an interesting shape in front of the shower and a color block rug in front of the vanity to bring in another pop of color—which I also carried through in the bath towels.

Now that it’s finished (at least in the short term), I’m looking forward to transporting myself back to the City of Lights with a good candlelit soak with a nice glass of wine and some Edith Piaf playing in the background!

Thanks so much for reading!

We got you covered below on all the sources.

Until next time, au revoir!

Fireplace Facelift: Welcome to the Tree House

A study in the power and persuasiveness of paint

Something about where we landed with this fireplace just makes me want to cozy up with a crackling fire, a Dave Brubeck record and a fine scotch, neat. That said, I’ve been wearing shorts for weeks already and I don’t even drink. But seriously, I’m so thrilled with how this project came together—especially with this being my first official project with Sunny Circle Studio.

I’m Amy, Erin’s old bestie turned new business partner. In 2021, my husband, son and I moved into our home, a 1968 split level with *potential* written all over it. Now, over a year and a half in, it seems like we’ve barely scratched the surface.

That means you’ll be seeing a lot more of my house (dubbed the Tree House) here on the blog as Erin and I work our way through improving it bit by bit—starting with the fireplace in our den.

The fireplace, before

original listing photo

Changing the walls in the room happened quickly and easily. I had to cover up the creamy beige walls and dark, wood stained trim fast. The unique paneling I decided to keep once I fell in love with Galapagos Turquoise from Benjamin Moore for the trim. I paired it with Sherwin Williams’ Online on the walls. But when it came to the fireplace itself I was at a loss. The awful off-white painted brick and awkward mantle were not working for me, but with the direction the room had already taken, I wasn’t sure what would.

More than a year of living in limbo later, it hit. Why not continue the teal from the trim, but brighten it up just a shade? That’s when we met Naples Blue—complementary to the Galapagos Turquoise but, lighter and more approachable, yet still refined.

Fireplace Toolset / Wall Hanging / Fireplace Screen / Leather Chair / Throw / Side Table Log Rack / Andirons / Clock / Rug / Pillow (similar) / Paint

We started the project by ripping off the decorative hood and metal curtains, then cajoled the mantle off the face of the brick, filling the three screw holes with Quikrete Cement Repair.

Next, we cleaned the brick with scrubbing brushes and Krud Kutter. It was shockingly gross. Like, it felt good to see a much-less-off off-white but also disgusting because ew.

Painting the brick by hand was a labor of love—oh, so much labor!—but it was so worth it. We also wanted the interior of the fireplace to feel as fresh as the exterior, so we used Rutland High-Temperature Black Paint to get the uniform black that we were looking for to really offset the teal.

The black interior also created the perfect stage for these gorgeous andirons we found from Rejuvenation. Truth be told, I’m having a moment with these Iron Age relics. They just feel more substantial and versatile than your typical log grate, not to mention much more aesthetically pleasing.

From there we pulled from the roundness of the arch in the fireplace and found a tool set and fireplace screen with rounded edges. Our goal was to keep everything simple, clean and refined to let the boldness of the brick sing.

What do you think? Did we accomplish it?

My Warm & Spirited Holiday Mantle

Featuring the new collection from Jungalow at Target.

The best time of the year is upon us which means it’s time to make merry and decorate for the holidays! Yay! And is there a better resource at our fingertips for gorgeous and affordable home decor than Target?
I think not! 
And speaking of, I’m teaming up with them today to bring you my warm and spirited holiday mantle, styled out with a few of my favorite pieces from the Jungalow at Target Holiday collection.
This collection is so cool and unique! 
Let’s get into it!

The collection was inspired by the idea of a Spirited Sanctuary – which sounds like a dream, right? From the rich and bold color palette to the eclectic patterns and sculptural elements, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Not to mention the price points are affordable and impactful even in small doses.

I fell in love with those sculptural candle holders and honestly wished I had ordered a few more! The color, shape and texture are so striking and impactful. 

Another standout from the collection has got to be that velvet star garland! I really appreciate decor that feels super simple, while also feeling very whimsical and extra special. This piece checks those boxes, for sure!

I love some good eclectic style, and this collection really delivers when it comes to pattern mixing. Those geometric stockings bring a nice unexpected graphic punch to my classic & Traditional mantle.

I decided to go for a more simple aesthetic for my mantle this year focusing on natural elements, simple silhouettes and all the warm & cozy vibes.

A few other standout pieces from this gorgeous collection:

I love the whimsical shape and texture of this Red Polka Dot Bowl.
I love anything in a star shape. Like this adorable pillow.
That velvet tree advent calendar is so cute!
The texture on this clay Menorah!
This embroidered tree pillow is so elegant.
I am always on board from retro floral patterns like this gorgeous wallpaper.
That adorable velvet star garland in wreath form!
I got these tassel star ornaments for my tree this year!

And as always, I’ve got all the sources from my mantle design linked below!

Candle Holders: sm / lg / Geometric Stocking / Starburst Stocking / Velvet Star Garland / Needle Pine Garland / Cedar & Eucalyptus Garland

And that wraps things up! Wishing you all the warmest and happiest of holidays!

Drab Dumping Ground Turned Playful Playroom

Pop inside this boldly patterned playscape. It’s a vibe.

The assignment:

Create a fun playroom with lots of space for a five-year-old to move around and, well, play. 

When we started, the room felt a bit sad with its old, warped laminate particle board desk and darkly stained wood trim everywhere. And since it is a playroom, we really took that to heart—playing with color, pattern and texture. Our goal was to transform the space by brightening it up, making it functional and adding a dash of whimsy.

Since one of the walls is wood and wouldn’t be papered, we decided to go a bit daring with the wallpaper, landing on this funky-yet-precious pattern from Chasing Paper. 

Going big with blue meant finding two complementary blues to use with the wallpaper for the fourth wall, doors and trim. And with Valspar ___ and ‘In the Nick’ we took the boldness up a notch. Painting the doors using both of them added more depth to the room and took the builder-grade accordion doors from blah to bespoke.

After checking out a how-to video, reading a couple of blog posts and walking through every single step with the tool guy at Lowe’s—who was surprisingly knowledgeable, helpful and super encouraging!—I felt ready to tackle the butcher block desk. Creating this butcher block desk nook was my first foray into power tools, and I have to say, I’m excited to play with more of them in the future. 

I learned a new skill and the final product turned out better than expected. Added a sherbert-y orange vintage mid-century modern Thonet chair for a pop of color and *boom*—a desk space perfect for art projects now and math homework later. 

mushroom stools / wallpaper / floor lamp / rug / storage bin / woven cubes

To add more texture and coziness to the space, we went with a fluffy Flotaki rug. Well, two to be exact—placing them side by side for a more custom size to better fit the room.

We wanted to make the playroom as versatile as possible, so leaving lots of open space was key. That meant going with seating that could be easily moved if/when the space was needed for more expansive play. large leather poufs and these adorable, amazingly comfy mushroom stools fit the bill. (Plus, the shrooms can be used for play!)

Of course, we can’t forget the number one thing every playroom needs: storage! So we anchored a classic IKEA bookcase against the painted wall and threw some textural storage bins in there to house the, shall we say, less visually pleasing toys. 

Across the room, under the window we added even more seating and storage with a padded bench made up of storage bins, filled with a smaller version of the bins we used on the bookcase.

Which leads us to the papered walls. We decided to go with a gallery wall using a limited number of larger, mostly simple, graphic art with white frames (and white space) so as not to compete with or overwhelm the wallpaper.

The result? Our client, Isley, loves it. So much so that we couldn’t get him to sit still long enough for a better photo. 

As always, I’ve got all the sources linked below. Thanks for reading!

PHOTO SOURCES: Rug | Ostrow Oak Arm Chair | Ostrow Oak Side Chair | Pendant | Wallpaper | Mirror | Candleholders | Floral Centerpiece | Dinnerware

Hello and happy November!

You know it's that time of the year to start thinking and planning for the upcoming holidays! Thanksgiving in general is my favorite holiday because not only do you get to eat all the delicious foods, but it's a time to gather with your family and make memories! And what better place to gather than around a beautiful table, enjoying a meal together with the ones you love most.

This season, I'm teaming up with an all-time favorite, Bassett Furniture to bring you a couple of easy tips to create a warm and inviting dining set up featuring their BenchMade collection.

I've had my Crossbuck Oak Dining Table and set of Ostrow Chairs for over a year now and honestly I love these pieces more and more with each passing day. The quality, style and comfort level is off the charts and I love setting this table for a party!

Now, let's get into those tips!

1. Mix & Match

We are living in a casual world and I am a casual girl! Mix up your dishes and linens for a laid back + relaxed vibe your guest will surely appreciate.

2. Color Code It

Bring depth and harmony to your table with color. Choose a general color scheme and build off of that with similar tones and complimentary colors.

3. Add textiles to your tabletop

Covering bare surfaces with a tablecloth helps add warmth + texture to your table and makes the dining room feel extra festive.

4. Warm it up

Nothing warms up a table more than some candle light! Candles are a great way to create a mood and make a table glow!

5. Bring the outdoors in

Go for natural elements like flowers, foliage and fruits + vegetables for added texture, color and fragrance.

And those are my easy tips to get your table ready for all the fall gatherings! I hope you find these useful and inspirational.

It's my turn to host this year and I'm so excited to have my family gather around this table for the first time. I can't wait to make all the memories this year and for years to come!

Happy hosting, friends!

Patterns are one of my favorite ways to brighten up a room, and right now, checkerboard prints are making a comeback. And of course that is nothing new – styles always go out and then come back in style. And this once dated, retro print is trending big and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Now why do I love the checkerboard print so much?
One word: versatile!
This pattern is simple, classic and goes with basically everything! Depending on how you style it, this pattern can read sporty, retro, sophisticated, Nordic, modern…the list goes on! And while I’m the biggest fan of this pattern on Van’s sneakers, it has come to my attention that checkerboard can be used in so many ways, especially when it comes to home decor.

Check out a few of my favorites styled in my home and then get into the 40 checkerboard home decor finds below!

New project reveal: A Parisienne-Inspired Cloffice

Once a sad, hodgepodge & unused closet, keep scrolling to see how we turned this little space into a colorful creative craft cloffice inspired by Paris!

The Concept

So it may come to no surprise that I’m a fan of the show Emily In Paris on Netflix, specifically all the eye candy in that series! The fashion, the colors, the chic sophistication, the interiors…its all so good and inspiring, especially from a design perspective. So I took my love of that French aesthetic and combined it with a few Nordic influences to create this little working nook to house all of my design & crafting supplies. The overall vibe is Paris meets Copenhagen with pastels!
Let’s get into this!

The Before

If you are like me, then you have at least one closet in your home that is a hot, hot mess. I’m talking like a dumping zone to ‘store’ things and stash away your crap from the early 2000’s….which perfectly describes the state of this little closet before I gave her a Parisienne glow up. She needed some love and a good clean and that’s where I started!

The Construction

I don’t know if you can tell by the before pictures, but there is a popcorn ceiling in this space! Ugh!! The dreaded….
So of course that had to go and I decided to do it myself and learn on the job.! The removal wasn’t that bad although we had a small space to work with and I think that is why I say that. It’s so freaking messy!! If you are curious, here is the basic breakdown on how we removed the popcorn:
1. Using a spray bottle filled with water, wet the area and wait 15 minutes for the texture to soften.
2. Scrape the texture away in small sections at a time, being careful not to dig in too hard and cause any damage to the dry wall.
3. Mud/putty over any areas that need some repair.
4. Use sand paper or an electric sander (highly recommend this option) to sand the wall down to a smooth finish.
5. Clean the area thoroughly and check over the work. You may need to go back and re-sand certain spots. Then it’s ready for paint/next steps.

Before we painted, we installed some ready made panel molding onto the ceiling. In addition to being kind of an eye sore, the slope ceiling takes up a big portion of this space. I wanted to find a way to add some character + style with high impact and the addition of the molding did the trick beautifully. Not to mention, it adds that Parisienne charm that I was trying to channel in this space.

The Reveal

Let’s get to the good part, right?
And I feel like I need to start with color. One of the things I love most about French style is the way they use color – effortlessly chic, warm and inviting without being too overwhelming. For the color in this space, I chose Dream In Purple from Valspar and its the most gorgeous shade of purple with grey undertones to achieve that elegant look.

Another highlight has got to the all the small space storage I managed to cram into this closet! haha. Not cram, but expertly fit. :) As usual, when I’m in need of storage solutions, I always head to the Container Store to check out their offerings. Those chic storage boxes are great for storing smaller items and the over the door rack was a perfect solution for all of my yarn!

I mentioned about my love of Nordic design and that is very apparent in a lot of the details you see on display. Several of the ceramic pieces – the pink vase and the blue tonal vase were items I purchased while in Copenhagen a few years back. Talk about eye candy!!

Before + After: A Bath Closet Glow Up

Calling all lovers of organization + skin care! Keep scrolling for a quick + simple bathroom closet refresh.

Are you an organization fanatic like me? If you are reading this blog, then the answer is likely YES. I told myself this would be the year that I organize all those spaces I’ve been neglecting for YEARS. And to start, I’m giving my bath closet a thorough clean out, throw out, recycle out and glow up!

Come along for a scroll and let’s get into this little refresh, shall we?

But first! The messy before…

So secretly, I’m really into skincare products. And to explain…I’ve struggled with skin issues my entire life. Like I’ve been searching for the perfect cleanser (for me) since high school to give you an idea of what I’m talking about. My issues are mainly acne, but now I also have wrinkles with a side of eczema + a pinch of hyperpigmentation so I’m all over the place. lol

All that to say, skin care is important to me and I like my products! And I like to organize so let’s put it all together and spark some joy, right?!

I know the first rule of de-cluttering/organizing/etc is to take everything out first! So the great purge began. I had a ton of stuff that I didn’t use or that had expired, which makes me a bit mad at myself for being so wasteful! But I digress…

I popped in to my local Container Store to grab a few items. I’m super duper forgetful, so I loved those Nordic Bins paired with the clip-on dry erase labels. I need to label more things!! I divided out my essentials and grouped them into the bins to keep the clutter to a minimum.

For my skin care essentials and makeup, I wanted a functional + pretty way to display my most used items. I picked up a few acrylic containers and stacked them together to create a little skin care station that is neat, tidy and easily accessible for the day-to-day.

I decided to use the space at the bottom as a spot for my hamper and found a pretty good lidded basket at Target that almost fits the space :)

A spot for some towels and that’s it!

Simple, neat and accessible!

I hope you found this post useful or inspirational. Happy organizing!
