Perfect Paint, Rugs and Oh So Many Fireplaces

In their latest issue, Traditional Home did a beautiful spread on a gorgeous Utah home. Though I would never want to live in Utah, I really enjoy the paint colors that were selected, the rugs used throughout the downstairs of the home, and the architectural flow of the house.

Though the colors in this family room are very strong, warm colors, they do not look out of place against the cool light greenish-blue:

 I absolutely love this more formal Living Room. I love how open it is with entrances on either side of the fire place and I love that through the fireplace, you can see into the Dining Room. 

 Having a fireplace in the formal Living room is just beautiful!

 

Just off the kitchen is the family room which is painted "Bryce Canyon," a warm coral color by Benjamin Moore. Also, the trail of beautiful antique rugs tie all the rooms together no matter the paint color used.

My favorite part of the Family Room may be the lovely window seat. I always wanted a window seat! Perfect for reading!

 I also love the Master Sitting Room, which also has a lovely fireplace: 

Well done. I'd move right on it! At the least, I'm taking notes for my own home. Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Birthday Bliss

I am the luckiest lady on earth for many reasons, but I am especially still reveling in birthday bliss since my sweet hubby gave me the chairs I have been dreaming of for months now for my birthday: 

Aren't they so pretty? 

These will look GREAT in my Living Room!! 


If you like the style of this chair, check out TARGET for many more fabrics and colors:

On top of that, Urban Outfitters is having a 10% off SALE this week plus FREE SHIPPING leading up to Black Friday. Since I have been wanting this little table for quite a while and I had some birthday money to spare, I decided this was the perfect time to purchase myself my little side table to go between these two new chairs:

I can't wait to get it all in my new Living Room!! The house is coming along really well. I can't wait to get all the Christmas decorations up next week too.


Have a wonderful afternoon and be sure to check back for more Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals :)

Be Your Own Designer

A girlfriend of mine told me about this awesome store in Chicago called 1154 Lill. It's a shop full of wall to wall fabrics that you can select to design your own bag. The fabrics are lovely and really fun! 

But if you are not going to be in Chicago anytime soon, you can also design a bag online. Here are a few that I played with:

Happy designing!! 

Fabrics

Premier Fabrics is a great site to find some one of a kind yet inexpensive fabrics. Here are a few of my favorites that I have found:
Hopefully this will inspire a few more throw pillows, curtains or a new look for a fresh chair. Enjoy!
