Like many design enthusiasts and bloggers, our family home also
serves as a laboratory of sorts for my design-obsessions and
experimental urges!
Our small living room is one of my favorite places to
play. There was a time when I doubted the decision
to slipcover my sofa in such a bold pattern but now it
is really one of my favorite things in the room.
I love many different styles of home decor and this room
definitely reflects that! Recently, I have wanted to begin
to de-clutter my home and add some more contemporary elements.
Vintage touches will always be a favorite but I want to begin
using them in a more understated way - mixing
in different styles for a more interesting look.
in different styles for a more interesting look.
I recently had my electrician husband swap out the more
traditional lantern fixture for the more contemporary
Vega 5 fixture from Schoolhouse Electric. Schoolhouse Electric is a local
Portland-based company and the maker of so many wonderful
vintage-inspired lighting options for your home. In addition,
Schoolhouse Electric also sells beautiful home decor and
fun art prints and posters!
This room has not changed much in the last couple years which
is unusual around here. And even though this room has no
television and serves as my 'office' and design materials
storage space, it is really a favorite of everyone in our family.
Photo-bombing dogs included!!!

I love the way you've balanced eclectic with inviting - it's really beautiful. I would love to get my hands on a bamboo side table and that furry-looking pouf piece - great pieces! And by the way, my dogs are also constantly photo-bombing my blogging pics! -Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks so much - hope you can find those pieces!

I love you how successfully mixed styles in the room and how well it works in your space. This is not always easy to do and you have done it beautifully. And your little doggie is precious and looks great in the room too. :-)

ReplyDeleteJill, my favorite thing about your style is how it is uniquely you. I never feel like you are trying to be someone else, or copy every new fad. Your tastes evolve but remain true to who you are. Well done lady! I always enjoy a warm, cozy visit to your home even if it's just through pictures.

Saw this on pinterest and had to come over and tell you how awesome your room is!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, cozy room! Isn't it funny how the scariest design decisions (like your couch slipcover) often end up being the favorites?! Gorgeous!!
