[ my living room tour ]

SO AS PROMISED, today's post is a tour of my living room! It's a relaxed and cozy space where you can put your feet up and plenty of white slipcovers mean carefree living - just remove and wash! The room is open concept with the kitchen/dining room so the furniture floats in the space to maintain traffic flow. I think my new Amy Butler cushions on the chaises look smashing - what do you think?

    And I am moving in next week! Love all the little bird accents and of course the colors. You're so brave with all of the white - but the slipcovers are genius! Thanks for the peek into your lovely life :)

    I am in love with your ceiling, how unique and beautiful.
    The whole room is gorgeous and could be featured in a magazine, have you thought about applying to be on HGTV's Design Star contest ?

    I do like the choice of colors, the pop of the orange and the complimenting tones of turquoise blue that goes so well with it. Top notched interior designing. :)

    Your living room is fabulous Lisa! I agree with Brandy about your pillows, they are divine. Great Sid Dickens collection too...we have our collection hanging right by the front door and I'm surprised no one has knocked one down yet. ;)
    Hugs~

    Hi, I have just come across your blog through various other links, as I am looking for an inspiration to reform my kitchen(hopefully with Ikea units made look special). I really like the way you have transformed your house! But the lounge is just splendid with so many different furnishings blending together so peacefully and beautifully! Cushions are so-so gorgeous... Thank you for sharing your ideas and good luck with all new projects!!!
