Remember Me?

Hello Friends! I've missed you!

I've started this post in my mind so many times over the last year and 3 months and being stuck inside waiting for Frankenstorm to pass seemed like as good a time as any to jump back in! 

 I've managed to get several large projects (and lots of little ones) completed that I'd love to share with you and I thought I'd start with my master bedroom makeover!

The humble before shots can be found in this post from a few years back...


And here's how it looks today...


I made the drapes out of DwellStudio's "Vintage plumes" in birch over a year ago.


 I can't wait to tell you about my new (to me) monogrammed Leontine(-esque) linens!


I reuphostered the settee (a $30 CL find) in a metallic tweed linen.  
Here's a before shot:

and after!

I'd be happy to give a tutorial if there's enough interest!

There are still some more changes I'd like to make (still not sure about that mirror, shoulda painted the base of the settee before I reupholstered, accessories...), but it's come a long way!
So, what would you like more details on?

More big projects I hope to share soon include:

  1. Overhaul of my foyer and adjoining powder room  including gorgeous wallpaper and a cheap and easy update for ugly floor tile.
  2. Basement Family Room makeover
  3. DIY storybook cottage bunkbed for my big girls' room
  4. Kitchen dining nook refresh

Love,
