Before renovation this was a kitchen. I moved the kitchen to the back of the house and designated the space a family room rather than dining area. Things rarely remain the same for long in my home so this post is about how dressing a space differently can completely change it's feel.
As a blank slate:
Here accents for the space as inspired and defined by chosen art
Amazing the difference in feel, no? Which is your favourite look? xo
Love it Erica! We have very similar tastes :)
ReplyDeleteI am just crazy about your lighting! xo
heehee- I noticed you had the same console too.
ReplyDeleteBoth the light and console sat in the garage for almost two years. The garage roof leaked and the console was damaged, on top, but thank goodness the light was safe in it's box. The red was a real diversion for me but I ended up really liking it! xo
I am loving the mirror.. what a fantastic shape! Where did you find that?
ReplyDeleteThat was a glorious homesense find! Lucky huh? Saskia has one too.
ReplyDeletesuch fun! I am a neutral kind of girl but i adore the driftwood lamp, stunning.
ReplyDeleteoh, and thank you for the tips. I may just do the ribbon. Drilling scares me.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of that mirror. As I said a few times before already, you have beautiful taste!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Love that mirror too! And now thinking about all my beautiful fabric and textile scraps...and what I could frame, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat coffee table/ottoman is just incredibly gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethanks lovely ladies! xo
ReplyDeleteLooks great, love that the mirror works both ways!
ReplyDeleteThat light fixture of yours is awesome! Love it both ways but am kind of digging the 2nd way the best.

well you know I like a few red accents, but this neutral pallet looks so lovely in your room. That's why accents are great, right? we can totally change the personality of our spaces when the mood strikes! Thanks for the comment :)

They are both great but I'm in love with color so I'll have to go with the first one !
ReplyDeleteI just love postings like this. I'm always fascinated how rooms can change so much, just from the accessories. My guess is, the red would work very nicely in winter, but you might change to the paler tones for warmer times.
ReplyDeleteYou have such great taste! I love that light fixture. I remember seeing it on an episode of Sarah's House in a yellow office if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeletelove the wicker looking chandilier where did you find that???

ok, where have I been, perhaps with that moth in the cedar closet, and now I am here enjoying your blog like a cashmere sweater, ready to make a hole.
ReplyDeletepretty tasty treats here.

I just love your design style. I think if I actually had the time to spend decorating my house I would want it to be just like yours.
ReplyDeleteso very fresh and stylish. adore your selections.
ReplyDeleteThis room is lovely. I love all of the items :) Thanks for posting all the fabulous pictures
ReplyDeleteJ'adore votre maison! I especially love the TV console. Can I ask where you found it? I've been searching for something that doesn't scream media storage. Great style btw. I'm new to the blog and am LOVING it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rena! I got that console at Urban Barn a long time a go. Not sure that helps much. (http://urbanbarn.com/)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone else for the lovely compliments. The boys have since destroyed that sectional... or it was defective, not sure which. Regardless, Ikea replaced it and said the frame should not have cracked even with "roughhousing". I have a different one now. :)
Erica, that IS the same light. Love your neutral scheme. Where did you get that rustic wood stool? (p.s. also love your header.)
