As you can see, I've had my beloved Lemon Tree fabric made up into a tablecloth for my library table. More on that later.
So, my new sofa is what divides the space into the two separate zones. My sofa is so new I haven't even taken delivery of it yet. Here's a photo from the web.
Is it my dream sofa? It's not the sofa of my biggest, grandest dreams, but it met size, color and price requirements (50% off because it was a custom order the vendor got wrong) - and I liked it well enough to pull the trigger.
True to how I usually pull a room together in my own home, there will be lots of repurposed pieces that I've owned for a while and new "finds" that fit my aesthetic - which is mostly classic, but in a modern way.
Another challenge I face is this:
A very long, very white wall - with a hole in it where the 1972 cutting edge intercom system control center was. Since this wall is, in effect, a corridor that connects the kitchen to the foyer and hallway, I'm thinking it's an excellent opportunity for ceiling to floor art. Like this
And, finally, here's a little snapshot of how I'm hoping things will come together over the next 5 weeks.
Furniture makeovers and diys start next week. I feel bad for my crock pot.
Let's go see what the other ladies are up to.

Kim, you got so many great design elements going into your room. I love your tablecloth, too. The gallery wall will be fun to hang and a great solution. Can't beat a custom sofa at a great price.

this is such a killer design plan!
Ooooh, I absolutely love your plan! And the mix of leopard and floral fabrics? So fun and very, very you.
The library table is adorable and I love the bargain sofa! The addition of black is perfect and no doubt your crock pot will forgive you! Looking good Kim!
Love the fabric on the library table! Long narrow rooms are challenging, I'm sure a lot of your readers will be anxious to see how it all comes together, it's always nice to see a design problem solved.
LOVE the leopard and the floral together. So good!!
The table is perfect -- I love that fabric! Your room is going to to be beautiful. You're smart to divide it. Can't wait to see more!
I chuckled over the 1972 intercom system! I totally remember those! So funny!
As a fan of gallery walls, I think that wall is perfect for it. Ahh... the bits of history that we need to work around - wall panels, former intercom spaces....
It is going to look fabulous!
I love the mood board...and what a steal on that sofa!
That fabric is a beautiful starting point...and I love your mood board.
Love your board and I know what a challenge this shape of room is.
I love that you got 50% because of someone's mistake:). I just adore that fabric and can't wait to see the magic:)
I love your mood board too. I can see the gallery along that wall and I agree it's a great idea. Can't wait to see more! Yay 50% off!
Kim, I adore that Lemon Tree fabric, as Ive said before. I really want some! Your plans sound great, and your board is fantastic. It will look great. Good luck on your projects!

That Lemon Tree fabric makes the whole space- I LOVE how it pulls the whole look togehter!
I have a long little room as well (16x30) so I get it but I'm fine with it now that it's 2 distinct areas. Love your choices, especially the striped curtains!
I love the ceiling to floor art, it can be artwork or photographs but I think this is a fabulous idea!

Kim,
you always come up with the best ideas! Your mood board is fantastic and getting that great sofa for 50% off was a great deal!
Can't wait to see the finished room, I know it will be gorgeous!

I want that room! The details are really gorgeous.
Love the sofa!! And the lemon tree fabric! Dying at the cutting edge intercom. Central vacuum system too? Haha
I really like the idea of the art wall and your use of fabric.
Love the sheaf of wheat coffee table! I have the exact same one in my living room.
Your home was obviously a fancy one to have on of those intercom systems in it. Our friends had one, but we never did. Then again, not all of our tv's were color, either. Love the score on the sofa. The price would make me love it more :). Great board. Send over some great crock pot recipes if you have them.
I would really dig a floor plan of this room and your thoughts on that. I have a long family/gaming/office/living/diningroom...LOL Challenge doesn't even cover it.
Oh Love, love, love your design board!! This is going to be Beautiful!! I'd like Crock Pot recipes as well!!

I'm in love with your choices!! And the gallery wall to camouflage is, of course, brilliant! Cannot wait for more . . .
I love your plans for the room!! I love seeing people style long skinny rooms because they are so challenging to put together but I think in the end they are some of my favorite types of rooms! I can't wait to see yours come together!
OK....wowza Kim. I am loving where this room is going. The neutrals with that fabric is going to incredible...I know I am going to go crazy when it is finished.
Yes, Yes, yes. Love the art wall. And I'm such a sucker for a skirted table. can't wait to see more pics of that!
Timeless, chic mix of fabrics, skirted table and gallery wall - oh my, can't wait!
I really love your choices...all the patterns, colors, and textures.
Love your mood board and the fabric!!!! Where is the light from? love it!!! Can;t wait to see more!
