Good for you and your husband adding the wall to make two rooms. Being honest about not able to add on too. Looking forward to seeing how your dining table looks in your kitchen:).

Thanks so much Kathleen!! I think it's important for people to know you can have a beautiful and functional space on a budget:-)

Thanks Janet!! We're hoping to hang a light fixture this weekend, and I ordered fabric for my chair seats then I'll hopefully be ready to share!!

Oh Anita...it all looks so rich and beautiful! The leather recliner looks great in the space, and coordinates so well w/ your barley chairs. And I LOVE your curtains...they're gorgeous against the backdrop of your wall color. The whole space exudes such warmth and welcome...just like your bedroom. I do understand about the open space. We have a modest 90's house, but it has a more open concept on the main floor. And just a few days ago, I was expressing to my family that I really wish we had more walls. The open space can be nice, but I long for more separation and wall space so I can hang things...very few walls and I miss that after now living here for five years. I also have drop cloth curtains in my LR, and can't wait to change them out once new paint's on the walls. Yours add such a dramatic difference...love all you've done w/ your spaces...just beautiful!

Such a charming room!! I love all the colors which make this room so warm and inviting!!Thanks so much for sharing!! And thanks for breaking away from all the "white" that is out there and for not doing "Farmhouse"!!!! We need more Bloggers with individual style like yours!!

Thanks so much Debbie!! I am definitely into my own thing, and the version of farmhouse out there, I just don't recognize as remotely authentic anyway, so I'm not drown to it at all. Now the real thing, yes, and because I love American styles I'll throw some in here and there, but I really try to be authentic and of course, colorful:-)

Love how you use splashes of red with the other colors! The last photo shot is my favorite, because from that angle, it truly gets it all in! Beautiful Anita!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Deborah for those kind words:-)
DeleteWow, Anita! I would have guessed your home was MUCH larger because of the way you have used your space over the years. It looks fantastic...and where everyone else is tearing down walls and opening things up you have gone the opposite way and LOOK at what you have gained. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Ha I know -- I always think it looks large when I'm shooting, because I do try and creatively capture the space, but someone I know remarked how much smaller it was in person after seeing only photos -- much to my dismay:-( We really do feel like we gained so much more than we lost, so if it works for us, we're happy!!
