We’ve been huge fans of Little Vintage Nest ever since Sarah, the brains behind the blog, tagged two AFW chairs in an Instagram post last year. Her wildly successful IG feed features snapshots of a vintage-inspired home teeming with neutral tones, burlap textures, and rustic finishes. Sarah’s on-trend style is simple and inspiring; when she suggested a collaboration between AFW and Little Vintage Nest, we immediately agreed. Take a peek into Sarah’s charming basement after the jump, and shop the AFW products she used right here:

Simple & Cozy Basement Tour

(Excerpt from original blog post on Little Vintage Nest)

We’ve been in this home for almost a year now and in that time I have managed to do almost nothing in our basement. Despite being the place we spend most of our time as a family, the basement has always been at the end of the priority list–behind things like bathroom makeovers, shiplap, excessive coffee drinking, etc. But the time has come. Yep, I have finally spruced this area up, we got a new super cozy chair, and it’s starting to feel complete. I’m so excited to share it with you fabulous people today. Welcome to our basement!

Ok, let me rave about our new giant chair for a hot minute. We recently got this from American Furniture Warehouse and I’m pretty much obsessed with it. It fits perfectly in this space and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Previously in this spot we had a really old, and rather ugly brown couch. So this new chair brightens up this area so well. I love, love, love it. I could curl up here with a good book and stay all day long. This is AFW’s Milan Beige Chair, you can get it here.
