Owning a home for the very first time unleashed my love for decorating. Iām by no means a fantastic interior designer but I really do enjoy shopping around and finding fun things to incorporate into our new home to give it the comfortable, welcoming vibe Ryan and I hoped to achieve.
Our latest undertaking has been our babyās nursery! Between painting the room, assembling furniture, picking out bedding and selecting fun prints to hang on the walls, weāve been working away and having a blast. The nursery is almost done!
Once we hang pictures and play around with the furniture layout, Iāll be sure to share a sneak peek into our babyās space with you guys, but for now, hereās a little behind-the-scenes look into our progress:
Earlier this month, I received and email from Interior Define, a company that offers customizable furniture and beautiful throw pillows at affordable prices, offering me the chance to host a $1,000 giveaway to their website on my blog. A $1,000 giveaway is a hard thing to turn down since I know it will go a long way for one winner and I hope one of you out there who is in the market for a new chair, loveseat or couch will find something you absolutely love on their site! (You can see some of my hand-selected personal favorite items from their site here.)
Interior Define let me select a throw pillow off their website along with a handful of fabric swatches (<ā always complimentary on their site!) that appealed to me to give me a feel for the quality and durability of their fabrics. Ryan and I actually had to send back a chair we ordered online for in our living room because the color didnāt look anything like it did in the pictures of the chair online, so the fact that Interior Define offers free fabric swatches to anyone is pretty awesome, especially if youāre a little timid about ordering furniture online.
The pillow I selected was the Wide Stripe Accent Pillow, which I chose because I thought it would make a great addition to our babyās room and add a little pop of blue to our mostly-neutral nursery.
The pillow fabric is made of a combination of cotton and flax yarn-dyed dobby cloth with 100 percent organic cotton backing and I love the way the blue color popped against the frilly white bedding I chose for the twin bed in the nursery. Since the bedding I picked for the room is admittedly rather feminine, I am a big fan of the way the pillow adds an element of masculinity while still maintaining the comfortable, calming vibe of the space.
So now about that giveawayā¦
Interior Define $1,000 Giveaway
One PBF reader will win $1,000 to Interior Define! Yes, $1,000! This is, without a doubt, one of the most valuable giveaways Iāve ever had the honor of hosting and Iām thrilled to offer it to you guys today!
So, how does Interior Define work? Hereās a simplified breakdown:
-
Interior Define offers customized furniture at an affordable price point (generally 30-40% less than comparable retailers) by maintaining an online presence that cuts out retail markups and follows a made-to-order service model
-
Customers can customize the size, configuration, material, cushion fill, and legs on almost every piece of furniture to fit design needs and preferences
-
Most pieces are available in 40-60 fabric options, and Interior Define offers complimentary swatches
-
Custom options are available online, and additional options are available through the companyās customer concierges over the phone or in person at their flagship store in Chicago
Basically if you see something you like on the Interior Define website but want to tweak it in some way to make it perfectly suit your design needs, they can do that for you! Sweet, right!?
And before you commit to buying a chair or couch from their website, donāt forget that you can request one (or several) of their complimentary swatches to ensure the color and feel of the fabric youāre selecting will work perfectly in your home.
(Can you tell I love neutrals any anything in the sea foam green/blue family right now?)
To enter this giveaway, visit Interior Define, join their email list and pick out your favorite product on their site. Comment below on this blog post with the link to the piece youād buy with the credit if you won! A winner will be chosen randomly next Friday!

My fiance Alex [yes we have the same name :)] and I are trying to get new furniture pieces together before our wedding in December. We have been looking for a couch with an attached chasse lounge that will fit perfectly in the living room of the condo we’ve chosen to live in.
The Kelly Fabric Sofa with Left Chasse in Graphite is exactly what we’ve been looking for! We found a similar couch at Crate and Barrel for a much steeper price so I am very grateful I learned about this company through your blog post. Now I can only hope we win the giveaway!! š
**PS, your nursery looks beautiful.
I love the Sloan Sofa, we have been looking for a new sofa that is a little smaller. We recently moved to a smaller house in the city and our sectional is too large!
I love the Henry with the wide chaise lounge! http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/henry#Z-NASCO-48

I just bought a house and am having a hard time decorating it — mainly because we’re in huge need of a couch piece for the living room and this one is exactly what I’m looking for! Fingers crossed I win — this would be a HUGE help! š
We offered to give my baby sister our sofa and loveseat for her college apartment, which means we are in the market for new furniture. Your post couldn’t have come at a better time for us! I absolutely love the bit of retro/contemporary feel of the Interior Define shop. If I were to win $1,000, I would purchase the Kelly sectional or the Lucy sofa depending on size. I haven’t taken the time to measure my living room, however style wise they are perfect!

The Sloan couch would be perfect in our new studio! My fiancƩ and I are getting married in two weeks and are trying to find the perfect couch for our studio. This couch would help divide up the space a little bit. I love that you can chose a right or left chase option, as we are still torn with what direction we would like the chase to move to! We love this couch and this win would totally help us start building our new home!
http://www.interiordefine.com/sloan-chaise-lt#JDL-L802-8
We’re moving soon and I would love the chance to try out these pieces! I’d totally get the Harper sofa in some fun, light color : )
I love the Walters, and the rich eggplant color is amazing! http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/walters#Z-DORMA-88
The Henry couch looks oh so comfy! I’d probably pick the Bark color but not before getting some samples in the mail! What a cool feature!
What a great giveaway! If I won I would probably use my credit towards the Gray couch. It looks so comfy!!
Hey Julie,
First of all I’ve had so much fun reading about your upcoming pregnancy and I’m so happy for you, Ryan and baby boy! My boyfriend and I are about to take a big step and move in together (I had to reference your co-habitate together blog to prepare myself)! We just bought a house that I’m absolutely in love with. We close next week and are couchless. While lounging on the floor to watch TV will suit for a few days, we’ve got our hearts set on an L-couch. I love the Kelley couch (in graphite) and the Sloan. I’ve always been a bit hesitant to purchase furniture online so I’m really into the idea of being sent fabric swatches ahead of time! http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/kelley#Z-DORMA-41
Thanks,
Nan
Adore the Sloan! We are moving and need a new side chair so this is a perfect giveaway with perfect timing!

I LOVE the Rose. It would be so perfect for our library/office. Currently, we have an old futon from college that we are hoping to upgrade!
Ilove the sloan couch http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/sloan-chaise-rt#JDL-L802-9 – we are moving in a few weeks out of state and this would be perfect for a new home
We could really use a new couch! And I LOVE this Kelley sofa! http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/kelley-87#Z-DORMA-93
http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/owens#Z-NASCO-99
We just finished our basement and I’m still shopping for furniture. I love that you can customize the different colors and I think the Owens sofa would fit well. š
Thanks for this great opportunity!
I love the Hughes in Pewter. http://www.interiordefine.com/hughes-lt-184#Z-DONI-92-A
I love, love, love this sofa in the khaki. http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/kelley-87#Z-DORMA-2
I love the look of the Kelly fabric sofa in your post. I’m in need of a comfy L shaped sofa for our living room.
The Kelly sofa is beautiful, and it’s exactly what I was looking for since I’ve just moved!
Since we are purchasing our first home soon, this will be so helpful. I joined the mailing list and I love the henry sofa in charcoal! http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/henry#Z-NASCO-99
The Sloan sofa would be absolutely perfect in my new apartment!

Love this one in the grey! Been saving up for a sectional for our new home!
I LOVE the Wesley chair in “coal” http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/wesley#Z-DORMA-41
but would probably give the gift of this give-a-way to my close friends who are closing on their first house next week!
We could definitely use a new couch or love seat. Our current one is too small for my 6’2″ boyfriend and has been torn to shreds by our cat. I would purchase the Sloan 67 Sofa in Deep Sea. A free sofa would be wonderful since we also have a baby on the way and a very tight budget.
http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/sloan-67#Z-TEXAS-95-A
love the Alice swivel chair! http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/alice-swivel#Z-NOLA-93

I’d LOVE the Kelley sofa with chaise in wheat! We’ll be buying our own home this year after the new baby arrives and this would be great in our living room. I love the wide stripe pillow too! http://www.interiordefine.com/kelley#Z-DORMA-41
I love the lucy sofa in the cinder custom color!
http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/lucy-linen-198#MF8409-5
