House Updates

I honestly don't know if my style is evolving or just my ability to asses it better.

Either way, I made a few changes to my entryway this weekend and I love how it's shaping up!

I added in a few chinoiserie pieces and a new blue ikat painting I just finished and I think the blue and pink is the jam.  I also swapped out the old rug and for the two black and white kilim like runners I had draped over the slipper chairs.  

Much fresher!

What do you think?

You can see more evolution pictures of the space here, here, here, and, here.  

Now it's on to get the rest of the house under control!

Especially the living room.

Remember this space is really part of our living room so I need to keep it cohesive.  I tend to get so swayed by impulse purchases that don't go with anything else I have and are just plain wrong for the style of the room and I end up with unfinished spaces that just don't feel right.  I decided to make myself an inspiration board to use as a roadmap along the way.  

Matthew has made it clear he's not repainting and I'm not buying new furniture until my children learn to wipe their sticky fingers on paper towels.

Which means I'm using all my existing pieces rather than dream items because in reality this is what I'm working with.  So this isn't my dream living room, just a realistic plan to have one I really really like by adding in a few new colors and accessories!
