The family of eight built their gorgeous home and moved in, September 2010. Since then, I have had numerous conversations with my sister-in-law, Heather about color schemes and paint colors and this week we are finally putting some action behind all of those words.
Today’s mini-makeover project: this space.
And this fabric is serving as our inspiration palette that we plan on carrying through to the adjoining living room. I’ll have the reveal for you in the morning!
Do you need some design advice? Is there a space in your home that you are stuck on? This week, in a last ditch effort to get votes for our Exterior Melodrama, we are giving away a custom mood board to one of our readers! You can vote for the video every day until Thursday–which means there is an opportunity of 4 entries per person to win a mood board.
Click here to vote for the video. (It takes two seconds–there isn’t any registering or anything)
Leave a comment on this post every time you vote.
I’ll announce the winner on Friday!

Loloi
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

looking for inspiration?
A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

I have been holding out on putting curtains up in my living room for two years – I’ve been waiting for the right fabric – and I think the one you posted would be perfect. Do you have any info on where I could find it?
oooh, so excited to see!! and I voted. :)
Love that fabric! Do you have any details about it?
I voted for you guys! Good luck.
LOVE that fabric. And that nook! I feel like the table needs to be a different color….I don’t know. Like white or something. Is that fabric for a window treatment or a seat cushion??? Ahh on the edge of my seat girl! One week one week one week!!! You can do it.
Hey, I voted again! Ashley:) Good luck!
Voted again! I’m loving the yellow and grey in their piano room. I’m sooooooo into that color combo lately.
