The living room at our yellow house is small but cozy. I thought it was time I shared part of the interior of our vacation house with you. Nearly all the furniture is second hand. Including the rugs and lamps. All of the painting was done by me.
The chaise and chair, covered in Waverly fabric, are from a yard sale in Pennsylvania. Joe’s brother used to live in Pennsylvania and we brought them all the way back home! The chaise is wonderful for napping.
I cannot have enough lamps. Unfortunately, I am out of table surfaces to place them. We are not finished with our little house. we have a large antique buffet that will go in the dining room. It is currently in the hall at the old house. Is is nice to have the luxury of moving furniture between the two houses. The pineapple lamp is from a second hand store in Georgia.
Joe’s brother Bob grew these beautiful flowers. Thanks Bob and Sue!
The fireplace is looking a tad bare in these photos. I did acquire an item this past weekend that fits perfectly in this space that I will share later.
Yes, I have a Charleston sweet-grass basket filled with baseballs in the background. I like a touch of whimsy. That basket starts a conversation every time we have a new visitor to our house!
grace surrounds us

I bought a little sweet grass basket when I was working on a job in Charleston. I fell in love with them!

What a lovely room. I see you have a window seat. I would love to have one of those to fix up with loads of pillows in different fabrics. I am also a lamp lover.
ReplyDeleteI love your stone firplace. I have something similar in my living room, but it has a wood burning (ugly) stove in front of it. Cute table the lamp is on!
