Favorite Room Feature: Danielle Oakey

Hi, I am Danielle from Danielle Oakey Interiors.

I am excited to show you around one of my favorite rooms in my home, my living room.

Since purchasing our condo 2 years ago, I have made lots of changes. Being a medical students wife and a stay-at-home mom, my budget is always small.

Luckily, DIY projects and thrift store finds helped make my design for this room a reality.

Since I have only one window in my living, dining, entry, and kitchen area, I wanted to keep everything light and airy.

I painted the walls a Seafoam Blue from Restoration Hardware and I  made the chevron drapery from this inexpensive fabric.

One of my favorite DIY projects in the room was the side chair.

I purchased it at my local thrift store for $15.00

I then re-upholsered it using fabric I purchased at a discount fabric store.

The whole project cost $42.50, not bad!

You can see the full tutorial here.

I found my light fixture on craigslist for $50.00. 

I love it when I find a good deal!

I splurged on the yellow credenza from Ikea.

I think it makes a big statement and was SO worth the money!

I am still not finished, I have plans for a new DIY coffee table in the near future :)

Thanks so much for having me!

xoxo,

Danielle
