So here it is when we first looked at the house...
And the day we moved in...
And here it is now...
This photo shows off my rather large collection of armchairs! Two mustard yellow armchairs (one with a low back, the other a wing chair) and two timber chairs (these are fantastic because you can recover the seat in a matter of minutes so they change every few months depending on my mood!)
The little table was my grandmothers. The top was chipboard and very damaged so I replaced it with new MDF and painted it gloss cream. The posters are from my trip to France (I have eight of them, although I doubt I'll ever have a wall large enough to put them all up!)
The wall colour is Dulux Tranquil Retreat (although it is mixed in Taubmans paint). This is a really pretty light grey but it does throw a lot of bluey tones, particularly at night.
I feel like my house is actually starting to move along now! I'll share photos of the kitchen next week.
What a lovely home you've got! Love the ghost chair and all your other arm chairs. How gorgeous are those timber chairs! xx

ReplyDeleteYou have the midas touch - it is a beautiful transformation worthy of showing it off - well done and the grandmothers table - so special and so cute.
She would be very proud to see what you have done with that.

Oh my!!! You have done an amazing job. I love it!
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about decorating our house scares me. I've never done it before and have no idea what I'm doing. Wish I was as creative and stylish as you are :)

Wow- great job! I love the art, the chairs, the rug- it all works so well together! You did a great job restoring your grandmother's table! And thanks so much for your comment today on my blog. Great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have such a great sized entry!! I wish I had space like that to work with. You've given me the re-decorating bug (again) now.... will have to think how I can spruce mine up.
ReplyDeleteI love all the personal objects you have in there that have great memories attached to them... your grandmother's table looks fabulous with its update!
Love the chairs, the ottoman, the art-work - everything!

Wow! It looks fabulous...I don't even know where to begin. I love the rug, the posters, the chairs, etc etc. Great job! Can't wait to see your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! I had to do a double take to make sure it was the same space. Great changes!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, Anna. Love the color of the door and the artwork and the upholstery on the chairs makes the home so inviting.
ReplyDeleteLove the paint color and the ghost chair! So gorgeous! Looking forward to see the kitchen next week! :)
