Before and after: Living Room

This room required help from Tami Teel. I found the Rand Wing back chairs at Ethan Allen and love them! Tami Teel helped with the drapery, mirror and cornel table.


Decor from previous home owners

Before we ordered furniture, we brought in our patio furniture to play with different arrangements. This helped us decide we definately didnt want a full size couch.

Guest room near complete!

Finally added some finishing touches to the "beige" guest room yesterday: new lamps and side table from Home Goods. Bedding / art is from Target. Also snagged some profile portraits from my mom, done by my grandfather in 1955!

Before and After: Dinning Room

Greetings! We've been in our house for a little over a year now and I thought it would be fun to post some "before and after" pictures of the interior! So let's start with the formal dining area. I considered this space difficult since it is an open area to the formal sitting area.


Here is a picture of when we first moved in: red-ish orange accent wall, small black chandelier

The red/orange paint was the first to go. Originally I painted the wall beige, but currently I am living with a rose wall. Hubby isnt crazy about it. So we will see how long it lasts. Also replaced the chandelier with the Currey and Company Crystal Lights Large Gold Chandelier. Table is from a local shop, and chairs are Martine Collection from Restoration.





I painted the old chandelier, added crystals and lamp shades, and dropped into our entry way. Much better fit here!





We also purchased a fabulous bar from Pottery barn!
