Jessie James Decker has her hands full. The mother of two kids under 3, wife of NFL player Eric Decker, and chart-topping country singer with a burgeoning beauty blog and fashion line doesn't have a second to spare, so when it came time to decorate the family's just-renovated Florida beach house, she turned to Joss & Main. Jessie worked with the online furniture and home decor retailer's style director to give her four-bedroom, two-bath home a stylish and family-friendly update. "Having small children doesn't have to prevent you from having a stylish home — it just means I have more soft ottomans and baby gates!" Jessie declares. Tour her beachy-meets-boho Gulf Coast home in the slideshow ahead and hear more about what she has to say about decorating. Then, head over to Joss & Main to shop the looks in Jessie's house.
Playroom
"Because we're on the water and this is our vacation home, I wanted each room to feel fun and festive. Everything feels very in theme with the seaside when we visit here," Jessie explained of the home's vibe.
A playful tent and kid-size armchair make the living room feel anything but stuffy.
When asked if her style is different since having daughter Vivianne, 2, and son Eric Jr., 9 months, Jessie replied, "I'm not sure it's changed so much because I'm a mother, but it's definitely changed as I've grown into a woman. My style used to be way more bohemian and colorful, but in recent years, it's become more pretty and Southern, with a few boho accents still managing to find their way in."
The decorating duties fall to Jessie — but not because husband Eric, a New York Jets wide receiver, doesn't care. It's "because we have identical taste," she says. "We have literally gone into a store before and picked out the same exact pieces without even knowing it."
Eric Jr.'s Room
With its twin bed and sophisticated take on nautical decor, baby Eric's room could also double as a guest room.
When asked how Jessie keeps things so stylish with such a young family, she wisely says, "My advice is not to try and make your home so immaculate and perfect all the time. It's OK to get a little messy — a messy home is a happy home."
The family's love of the water is reflected in the sea-inspired decor in Eric's room.
Living Room
"We spend all of our time in the water or on the boat. I grew up coming to this area since I was a little girl and I have had some of my very best childhood memories here, so it's great to be able to now share this place with my children and husband," Jessie says.
Decorative glass bottles, a rustic tray, wood pops, and a stack of gulf-coast-focused books create the perfect beach house coffee table.
Jessie's favorite pieces of new decor are the statement-making chandeliers, like this one in the living room. "They were a big must for us here — they bring a big hit of sophistication to the beach and really finish off each room."
"When we're not out looking at the gorgeous view, we're usually in the living area that flows into the children's playroom," says Jessie.
Vivianne's Room
With elegant furniture, a dreamy chandelier, and a palette of cool coastal hues, Vivianne's room is sure to grow with her over the years.
The art and accessories in Vivianne's room, such as the bird collage ($154, originally $210), are child-appropriate yet sophisticated.
"Because we wanted Vivi's room to grow with her, we stuck to a classic neutral palette, and then added in accessories like the mermaid wall art to give the room a playful feel for her right now," Jessie explains of Vivianne's room.
The upholstered twin beds in Vivianne's room will undoubtedly host sleepovers guests as she gets bigger.
