In yesterday’s post I said I want to be more intentional about the content I bring to Life With Emily this year. A few days ago I asked my snapchat followers what they wanted to see this year and I had an overwhelming response (thanks so much to those who responded!) A lot of you want to see more wedding details, outfits, personal posts, and more home decor content! I was so excited to read everyone’s responses because they all aligned with the content I want to bring to y’all!
So today I’m excited to share my first home decor post of 2017. Since Nick and I moved in together back in August we’ve completed a lot of spaces in our home. There is still a lot left to do, but we’re getting there! I’m partnering with Minted to share how we spruced up our guest room.

Between the two of us, we had everything we “needed” for the guest room, so we made it work with what we had. We decided we didn’t want to devote a lot of time or energy to the guest room right away. We plan on eventually updating the headboard and a few other things, but for now it totally works! I worked with Minted to spruce up the room a bit. Minted is my go-to when it comes to artwork, but I was even more surprised with their throw pillow selection. There is something for everyone and every style!
I let Nick pick the art and he chose boats (he loves them) and then I chose a selection of printed pillows to finish off the space. It ended up working well against the masculine headboard.

Thank you to Minted for sponsoring this post. All thoughts, writing & styling are my own.
![Weekend plan: find Bernadette! 🕶💁🏼♀️🌍🎬so beyond thrilled that Where’d You Go Bernadette is officially in theaters TODAY! 🎉 last month I jetted off to Toronto thanks to @bernadettefilm for a once in a lifetime experience. We got to go to an advanced screening of #WheredYouGoBernadette followed by a Q&A with #RichardLinklater and the cast of the movie. It was truly fascinating hearing them talk about @mariasemple’s book to movie adaption, how they related to #Bernadette & all the filming details! I think I’m still reeling from being in the same room as these talented people! And yes, I totally fan girled over meeting & chatting with @sleepinthegardn (PLL FAN 4 LYFE!) 😂
If you loved the book, be sure to see the movie! And if you haven’t read the book yet, definitely add it to your shelf! 📚 #enwreads They did an incredible job adapting this book and maintaining the essence of Bernadette’s witty, exotic character! I think you’ll find yourself relating to Bernadette in *some* way throughout the movie! I loved it - I laughed, I teared up & it’s full of heartwarming moments! Huge thanks to @bernadettefilm for the wonderful weekend in #Toronto! 💙[ad] #cateblanchette #bernadettefilm #troianbellisario](http://scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/6b81b29152d6011f3f2567ea771761e8/5DF9F426/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c198.0.1044.1044a/s640x640/66853692_164623028008296_7755071191934184537_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com "Weekend plan: find Bernadette! 🕶💁🏼♀️🌍🎬so beyond thrilled that Where’d You Go Bernadette is officially in theaters TODAY! 🎉 last month I jetted off to Toronto thanks to @bernadettefilm for a once in a lifetime experience.
