we moved into our new house in march of this year…it is a very square, long, brady bunch, frank lloyd wright, 1960ish ranch…over 2000 sq ft (much different than our little 1000 sq ft cape cod)…it has a lot of character, originality, and quirks…the entire home was in need of a face lift…(still working on that)…after 3 months of contemplation, this is what i have come up with in the living room and dining room (although, they are still a work in progress)….

hand-made quilt with amy butler fabric

lovely basket of shells

 

 

sleeping in style...

 

little treasures from the sea...

 

 

 

reflecting pool...

new little reading nook...

 

still needs some fillers...

 

 

mid-century modern chair and old rotary phone...

favorite lamp...

couple of favorite books...

blue and green vintage aprons...

more nigella...a very cheap fix...

nigella in frames...

couple pieces of fiesta...

ethan's contribution to design...the standard "E" tag...and a portrait of hello kitty...

so…i guess i am somewhat loving blue and green…which is so different from my warm palette that i usually roll…i have painted the living room twice now to reach this…and the dining room is still trying to tell me the color that it would like to have below the chair rail…i am also waiting for the dining room table of my dreams…a vintage beauty that hasn’t found me yet…i will keep you posted…
