My House Tour: Living Room and Dining Room


These two rooms have been fun for me. The scale of them is definitely different from our last house. But I have loved the cozy feeling of this original part to our home. 

We never put a TV in this room, which I am happy about. Its nice to have a quiet place just for conversation. 

The walls are 1/2 Linen White and 1/2 White Dove. I used an eggshell on the walls, and a semi-gloss on the trim. 


You'll recognize most of the pieces in this room from our last house too. My old trusty cow hide, I love it everywhere I've used it. 


I've always wanted to do a gallery wall of old paintings, and I have enjoyed this little collection of mine. The pillows underneath, on the sofa, are always different. I rotate them around a ton! 






The previous owner had these two rooms flip flopped, but it seemed to work better for our needs and furniture to use the larger of the two spaces as a living area. 

In the dining space, I added the ship lap to the bottom perimeter of this room, and painted the trim here too. Its Cos Cob Stonewall. Weird name, awesome color. 
Above that, I installed caramel grasscloth. 
I. Love. It.





The small foyer and entry way connects the living and dining rooms on the front with the kitchen and keeping area on the back. 

I installed this happy sunburst wallpaper here, and it makes me feel good every time I walk in my front door. :) 




Next up, tomorrow is our Master Bedroom!

Reading Nook Under the Eaves


Give me an angled ceiling in a little spot tucked under the eaves any day.
This may be a small space, but man, did it come together in the most fun way! 
The federal mirror is to die for. Really.
It begged to be seen and placed in a special spot. 
We added two comfy arm chairs, the cowhide, and a few other fun fabrics and trims. 
Check out those original heart pine floors, would you?
They are lovely! 
We simply buffed them and gave them a new clear coat. Too pretty to cover up! 



The shelves give a spot for the children's books and toys that need to stay...with 3 grandkids right down the street, they see this house a lot! 
I would sit here and catch up on work every day! 


Hope you enjoyed this room too.
There's still more to show of this house! 

Until then, head over to Instagram and ShopMGD's cocktail Monday!
