Project Dollhouse Family Room Styling and Sources

I have a few more photos I wanted to share with you of my family room makeover that was part of Linda at Calling it Home's One Room Challenge. I also got lots of emails inquiring about sources for some of the items in my room, so I've supplied links wherever I could. 

I got more emails about the Lemon Tree fabric than anything else.  Sadly, I can't share a source with you for this.  The fabric was a lucky find from a small fabric store in Atlanta near my mother's house.  I bought what was left on the roll and haven't seen it or been able to find it since.  If you want to have a go at locating it yourself, the fabric is by Greeff for Schumacher.  The name on the selvage is "Lemon Tree".  The store I where I found it is Budget Upholstery.  Information about them here. (They also made the slipcovers for my Mid-Century barrel chairs years ago and have reupholstered sofas and chairs for me. If you're in the area, I highly recommend them)

 Metal stool/ Leopard print fabric/ Cowhide rug/Yellow velvet fabric.  The rattan armchairs were an estate sale find.

My huntboard was styled mainly with things I already had.  The bird picture was given to me by my mother.  The chinoiserie lamp and mirror were thrifted, and the "Kimberly" brick was a happy find that was uncovered during a historic home restoration a few years back.  My husband found it in the basement and presented it to me as a gift. The bust/planter was a new purchase.  I altered the color by pouncing on small amounts of leftover gray, cream and beige paint.  When that was dry I rubbed on a thin layer of Minwax wood stain to give it some age.  

The needlepoint leopard and the pottery planter were both estate sale finds - not at the same time.  

Sofa/ Chinese garden stools/ Black geometric pillow/  Cream embroidered lattice pillows/ rug

All estate sale/thrift finds

Striped curtains/abstract painting/iron sconce (discontinued)/green chandelier crystals

Wall paint is Benjamin Moore's Moonlight White.  This room is blessed with a southern exposure that is unobstructed by trees or shade of any kind, so the light is wonderful all day long.

I have one more post planned for this room, and it addresses my heavy use of vintage and "found items".  If there's anything else you're curious about, shoot me an email!

The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.

Chartreuse - Friend or Foe?

Happy Monday, everyone!  Hope you had a great weekend.  My youngest is on Spring Break -or as I like to call it, the beginning of the Zyrtec days.  Here in the southeastern United States the pollen counts are astronomical each spring as a yellowy-green haze covers everything in sight, only to be washed away by some welcome rainfall. In fact, cars look like this from the end of March until late May. 

It's gross. Seriously.  Chartreuse is probably the most hated color around here every spring, so I thought it would be only be fair to show chartreuse in a more flattering light.

Never would have thought about using chartreuse with gray, but it looks great here.

Chartreuse and white always looks fresh.

And what about black?  It's my favorite companion for chartreuse. Unless your black car is sporting this combination.  

I can't leave you with this image.  One more for good chartreuse.
