Living Room

Still settling in...

My little reading corner...found the yellow flower pillow at Target.

We do not have a bar area in this house, so now we have four bar stools from Ikea that I've been trying to be creative finding places for.

All Moved In...

And I have a little dilema. There are two niches here on each side of the entry into the dining room. The sofa sits in front of the entry with just enough room to walk through. I'm thinking of a couple of different things for the niches. One being these sconces from Pottery Barn. They are 20 inches long, so they would fit nicely with a little room on top and bottom.

The other idea I had was maybe a couple of glass shelves in each niche for photos etc...

Although I would love to hear any other ideas that you may have.

Happy 4th of July!

Room re-arrangment

When I was a child I thought it was very exciting when my mom would re-arrange the furniture. Whether it was the living room, or even better when my brother and I would get to switch rooms. This gene must have been passed down to me, because I am always switching things around in search of the perfect spot, whether it's the sofa or the silverware. And as an added bonus re-arranging is like getting something new...without spending any money;)
Today I re-arranged the family room. I borrowed a few pieces from the living room. I'm really liking the blue and green together. Now I need to find something to go over the sofa.
This is a really awkward room to work with, very narrow. I have often wondered if this was actually meant to be the dining room way back when the house was originally built???


The office area. Someday I would like to actually have a room. But until then, this corner works out ok.


This is the only eating area in the house. It's rather small, another reason I wonder if the family room was originally the dining room. Any thoughts?

A Little Bit Of Color

I'm looking forward to Spring. Thought I'd share a few photos with pastel colors.
