The other posts on this room are here and here.
I found a lamp that I loved (at HomeGoods):
It’s kind of an eclectic mix, but it all seems to work. Really, unless you get rid of everything and just start from scratch (and who can afford to do that?!), everyone’s houses are an eclectic mix. I happen to think that makes them more interesting.
I have to admit that my favorite “corner” so far is this one:
I sit on the couch in the morning with my coffee to read my devotion, and I think there are JUST THE RIGHT NUMBER OF PILLOWS on the couch (that was for my husband, by the way…he still thinks there are too many. As if!)!
I added the gold monogram to the coral lumbar pillow. You can buy one like it in our Etsy shop.
Today, I started the makeover on the chair that’s been languishing in my garage since April. She is going to be gorgeous when she’s done.
Here’s the before:
I think that “she” is going to get a new paint job like my gray chair {here}, instead of being reupholstered like my loveseat {here}. I haven’t painted velvet before, and I hear that it takes the paint more easily and is softer when finished. Stay tuned, since you know I’ll let you know exactly how it works out! (Update: see the “after” of the gold chair here)

Tutorial on Built-ins (part 2)
Thanks for stopping by-
I love it all! Did you make the monogrammed coral pillow? You know, I’m probably driving you crazy re: these monograms. 🙂 The gold is just fab on the coral fabric! You have a definite talent for decorating. Can’t wait to see the chair!

Hey Pat–I did make it, using my Silhouette Cameo and gold iron-on vinyl. The other side has a white paisley print on it and it used to be in my daughter’s room before we changed her colors, so I just pulled it out of my stash, flipped it over, and added the monogram. Fun! And no, you’re not driving me crazy–monogram away!
Beautiful! I love that pop of coral, and I agree, it IS just the right amount of pillows! 😉
I think we all agree on the pillows, at least those of us with two X chromosomes!
Christy! I love the way you put things together. Truly eclectic, a wonderful sense of self-confidence that shows through each detail. One must really spend several minutes on each vignette to truly appreciate the thought that went behind the process. Bravisima!
Rosemary–you’re so kind–thank you! And thanks for taking the time to really look at the pictures. 🙂 I hope you had as much looking at them as I did, putting the room together!
