My favorite little corner of the living room. The last remaining branch of my favorite tree hangs on the wall and my favorite books are stacked below. The lamp was a tag sale find that got a new shade.

Looking in the front door, the dining room is straight ahead.

To create my work space in the kitchen I had the bottom of the cabinets cut out and set on the counter. My appliances slide in and out easily and look neat when they are “away.”

The buffet from the dining set now acts as a front hall piece to collect keys, sunglasses, and all the other junk that comes into the house. . . The front door is painted the best color ever. Verdant Green by Sherwin Williams.

Wow – thank you! I think my house looks so boring compared to the other Sneak Peeks! Let me see if I can answer your questions.

The grey wall color is FABULOUS – it’s called Worldly Grey by Sherwin Williams.

The bird sheets are by Dwell. I am in love with all of their bedding.

The chandelier was here when we moved in, but an unfortunate brass color. I spray painted it white and added glass fruit I found in Venice and light covers from Great Jones Home in Seattle (I can’t remember the name of the company. I’ll look it up)

Thank you for all of your kind words :)

LOVE this home and LOVE the green accents! The front door is my favorite and the idea of cutting out the bottom of the cabinet to store appliances and such is a fantastic thought!! The family silhouettes in the bedroom and the tray (who doesn’t love being served breakfast in bed) Thanks for the inspiration!!

You have an absolutely lovely home! Your subtle eye for detail makes a big impact. I am wondering if you could explain how you attached the glass pieces to the chandelier? I have some little fruit pieces from Murano, but they don’t have holes for wire. Thanks for sharing your wonderful space!

I loved the idea of the ‘bottomless’ cabinets for the appliances, I like mine to look neat too, perfect solution.
I like the bathroom very much, the bedroom, everything is elegant and warm and organized, very well balanced. Congrats!
I used that verdant green (color by myself) on a similar door to my backyard deck. As green as it gets, looks sensational.
