Have you all explored my latest additions to my Bon Voyage series yet? I love this series so much because it truly captures the glamor of travel that I love so much. Many years ago I was inspired by a William Eggerton photo in a museum of a cocktail next to a window in an airplane, and I created the idea of taking signature accessories and drinks that symbolize celebrities, and characters from all eras, capturing them 30,000 feet in the sky. I hope this post inspires you to transform your home and take advantage of our friends and family sale happening right now -- enjoy up to 30% off site-wide this long weekend!
When it comes to this celebrity focused series, there are so many fun and unexpected ways to style this series in your home. I have always loved styling them in large groupings so that it actually feels like you are on an airplane with this cast of characters. Earlier this year, I did a feature on the lovely Everhem owner's home, featuring styled Bon Voyage images in her hidden speakeasy. In our old home, Jeff and I styled them in our living room and it gave so much personality to the space.
## Our Entertainment Space
When we moved into our home, this basement room was already pretty perfect from the previous owner– it has a projector, and a bar making it the ideal movie theater room, the only thing missing is a popcorn machine! We wanted to make this room feel extra cozy, and I have always dreamed of having the Restoration Hardware Cloud couch, but it was just so expensive, so we were so excited to find this new Crate and Barrel couch that looks and feels almost identical to the RH cloud! Since the walls were very blank, I knew that adding this series to the walls would be the perfect touch, as I have always loved styling Bon Voyage prints in sets. Whether you’re styling 2 together or filling an entire wall with your favorite characters, these prints tell a whimsical story when they’re put together.
I couldn’t believe how perfect these characters felt on display in the same room that we watch most of them on the big screen! A few of my personal favorites on display include, The As If Girl, inspired by Alicia Silverstone’s iconic character Cher from Clueless – this one absolutely brings in the 90s nostalgia we all love. Another favorite of mine is The City Girl, which is inspired by the one and only Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and The City, and another favorite on our walls is The French Queen, inspired by the lovely Marie Antoinette – let them eat cake!
## Game Area
This little game nook adds so much charm to this entertaining space. I love having game nights with our friends, and love that we have an area dedicated to it. Games are so important to me, I even came out with my own collection of Gray Malin Games – from puzzles, to backgammon and playing cards, they not only make for the perfect gift, but are such fun staples to have around your home for entertaining.
## Our Gym
Welcome to our home gym! Jeff and I love fitting a workout in the morning if we can, whether it is a quick Peloton ride, or some weight lifting, it always feels so rewarding to start your day off feeling good about yourself. I love keeping up with a healthy lifestyle as much as I can, aside from working out, I try to go on a bigger diet/cleanse a few times a year, as well as doing more weight intensive training – stay tuned for a more built out post on my workout schedule! Additionally, this is the weight set we have from our Bowflex, and some of my favorite workout shorts!
I don't know about you, but I always could use a little extra motivation when I am working out, so Jeff and I decided to add The Greatest, inspired by Mohammad Ali, and The Tennis Player inspired by Serena Williams, which both really inspire us as we are working out.
## At Our Bar
Many Bon Voyage characters are captured with their favorite cocktail in hand, making these prints a seamless fit to add to your bar or bar cart. Whether you prefer a cosmo, a martini, or an aperol spritz, there’s a drink for everyone to love in this series!
So, what are you waiting for? Pick up a new Bon Voyage print and start decorating!
