Beautiful chandelier and love the dining room chairs! Do tell where they are from!

Oh! It’s a chandelier from Lowe’s that she painted. How lovely!

Wow, she sure isn’t afraid of color! I think these rooms pull it off nicely, though. It’s like an accent instead of an all-out color craze.

That chandelier is awesome! Does any one know where I can get it, or a similar one?

She got it from Lowes according to her blog. I feel like I’ve actually seen it, it just looks so different in that pretty aqua.

Anyone know where the curtains in the dining room are from? I’ve been looking for ones with those colours.

beautiful! crazy question, but anyone know the gray paint color (or know a similar color code) that she has in the dining room? I’ve been trying to find a shade of gray for my living room that would create this same effect, and it seems like she has picked perfectly!

I love the use of color against the white walls- it’s almost as if the color itself is an accessory.

you can only see a little bit of them, but i love em!

The curtains are Urban Outfitter “bed spreads” that I sewed into curtains. The chairs are a garage sale find that I painted and recovered the cushions. FYI recovering chair cushions is the easiest thing ever. All you need is fabric and a staple gun.

Although I love the Scandinavian all white interior, the colour outburst here is just wonderful! Especially in these dark winter months…

That is the most amazing room I’ve seen for a long time. You have such fresh and inspiring taste. You give color a new definition.
