This photo illustrates well the old saying about the
cobblers children with no shoes......how about
the decorators home with mismatched pillows
and no drapes....but it is real life and shows
how imperfection can be pretty too.
This is our great room and as much as I would
love to do many things, our financial priorities
are elsewhere right now. So, I have fun helping
others make their homes beautiful with fabrics that
make me drool and furnishings that would furnish the
homes of my dreams, and accessories.....
oh, the accessories!
Someday this room will have pretty drapes....
In the meantime, if you would like my help
creating a beautiful room in your very own home
please email me at jill{dot}hinsondesigns{at}gmail{dot}com.
I have openings for e-design work in late-July/August!

I LOVE this room and think you are so talented! Love following your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love your room, Jill. The pillows look great and I love a room without window treatments, especially when you have something so nice to look out at, such as your pretty yard. I wouldn't change a thing!

Thank you Claudia!

ReplyDeleteYour "Real World" looks great. Where did you get your coffee table?
The coffee table is from Ballard Designs.

I think it looks wonderful. What's the problem? :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem! I love it - as a designer though I am always working/striving to 'finish' and layer spaces - it's just the way my brain works.

Please know - this post was not meant to 'complain' or state that I thought this room did not look pretty. If anything, it shines a great light on my decorating ADD! I design and re-design rooms all the time - freaky, I know. I love this space -

Honestly, I think that no window treatments looks better than covering up all that beauty and light with fabric. It is perfect just like it is. Let the outdoors in!
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the honest truth, with that beautiful back yard and especially if it's private, I wouldn't do any drape. I love the panes, I love the white and the light. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo inviting!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I don't see anything wrong! Maybe needs curtains, yes...but it looks like a nice room to me. (mismatched pillows?? but who wants a bunch of matchy-matchy pillows??) Just enjoy your beautiful room!
ReplyDeleteOh enjoy it, we do!

I think your room looks fabulous, warm and comfortable. I don't think I would worry about putting drapes in, you have a wonderful view. I really love the color of your walls, would you mind sharing what you used??
ReplyDeleteThe paint color of my great room is Benjamin Moore's 'Halo'. Thanks for writing!

This room looks so comfy and inviting. I definitely could see myself curling up with a good book and spending the whole afternoon. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the distressed white side table? Love the height and size!
ReplyDeleteThe distressed table is a flea market purchase - it's a vintage table and came just like you see! It is rather large.

THANK YOU!
DeleteThis room is finished. It seriously doesn't need a thing. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI just came across this picture on Pinterest. I was looking to see how a leather chair goes with a linen couch. Where did you get your leather chairs?
