Living Room Switcheroo

Remember my sister in law's gorgeous living room from last week?

Here's her other living space's transformation too!

The BEFORE:

And the AFTER:

Much more balanced and polished. 

Proportionately, rearranging this room made a HUGE difference.

We didn't add anything "new" here except the small chair and ottoman....again, from Grandmother's house. :)

The cute club chair and ottoman had an original chintz on it. It was positively vintage, but we needed it to be more in tune with the fun concept we had for this room. A soft gray canvas duck suits the room perfectly.

Moving the lamps and bamboo tables in from the other room, as well as the coffee table, now gives us a sense of balance and symmetry. Flanking the mirror, prints and plates balance the large wall. 

The antique camel back sofa, a piece from Mimi (the other grandmother), was kept classic with a black and white ticking stripe.... not that the navy and maroon original upholstery didn't work. ;) 

I found these arm chairs at an antique mall...the lines were fun, and they begged me for a makeover. 

A can of white spray paint + black and white spots = insta-glam

The gold and white damask dhurrie rug pulls the whole room together, adding a layer of softness. 

I scooted the antique buffet to the small wall near the front door and added a little vignette with vases, boxes, books, and artwork. 

Maja personality punch! 

Have you recovered any of your grandmother's furniture?

Or do you have a lot of her pieces in your home?

A Sweet Nursery for a Baby Girl

When planning this nursery, we didn't know if there would be a prince or princess to come home to it. 

Since the parents to be, some of my best friends, wouldn't be finding out what they were having, we decided on a color scheme of pretty, soft neutrals: creams, whites, grays, and oatmeals. A scheme that could easily be accented with pink or blue once they were all home from the hospital. 

Baby GIRL has arrived and she now has a sweet, monochromatic room with a touch of pink.

And it's just as pretty and soft as she is! 

The large window is framed by white and taupe striped panels with a contrasting gray grosgrain trim along the inside edges. The rocker, a family heirloom, sits beside a pair of nesting tables and a fabo gray gourd lamp. 

The putty wall color, bright white trim, and contrasting gray doors are perfect with the neutral color scheme. I especially love it all with the gray and cream rug! 

A traditional white spindle shelf now holds those precious baby things...books, antique silver cups, dolls, and frames. 

A classic white dresser and bamboo mirror will grow with baby girl! 

Beautiful Beatrix Potter paintings - painted by baby girl's talented maternal grandmother - hang over the sweet white crib. 

The bedding, another mix of taupe, white, and cream is now accented by a precious pink crib sheet. 

A few more deets:

Hope y'all have a great weekend!
