My mom’s living room reveal: Collaboration with Mitzi
My mom’s new mid-century meets minimalist-glammed up living room.
Hey there!
If you don’t know by now, I’ve been assisting with re-designing spaces in my mother’s home in exchange for room and board. This totaled seven months of free rent (and we know how expensive it is to live in Los Angeles). Though my husband and I have moved out since then (into an apartment in the meantime) we’re still heading over during the weekends to help my parents complete projects.
We’ve finally finished the living room and thanks to Mitzi, we’ve got some beautiful lights that contributed to my mom’s glamorous midcentury and minimal design concept. I’m so happy to post the before and after photos of this space, and share the beautiful lighting that made this transformation possible.

The Belinda Pendent
The great thing about drop pendents are the versatility they bring to spaces. These pendents gave us so many options as it pertains to variations, while still offering functionality. We decided to play around with this variation by hanging three pendents at different heights over the dining table. What we loved about the Belinda Pendent was the cylinder shape and double-layering of glass. They really added a layer of elegance and sophistication that played a major role in maintaining a mid-century glammed space in contrast to the rustic shiplap wall.

The Belinda Sconce
We used the Belinda Sconce as ambient lighting in the living room space. These sconces provide a warm comfort in the room drawing people into the space when lit. Along with the many movie nights that will take place in this space (my mom loves The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit and plans to have viewing parties for these movies) the location of the lighting also offers my mother the option of task lighting, as she can sit underneath either sconce and burry her nose in a good fantasy book.

The Ariana Sconce
The Ariana Sconce was one my favorite and by far the most asked about lighting accessory via my instagram. This glass shade beauty effortlessly drops and rises smoothly (even wave-like) from a single base. We even had the option of mounting it horizontally however, we went the vertical route - as it felt right for the space. When putting together the mood board for this space, I was looking for an abstract fixture that would coincide well with the smooth shape of the nightstand, and the Ariana Sconce did just that.

There are so many choices when it comes to selecting the right lighting for a space, as the styles are endless. Mitzi provides an array of “well-designed, well-made, and well-priced lighting.” Their lighting offered the glamour each one of these spaces needed, and it was a pleasure to collaborate with such an amazing team. Also, did I mention Mitzi is LEED certified? It doesn’t get any better than saving the planet while having a beautiful space - I’d say it’s a win win!
