I first showed you my Great Room in June 2011.
This is by far my favorite room in my house. Big and wide open...full of special pieces and collected finds.
Another angle...that chest belonged to my grandparents. It was the first thing they bought together when they got married. I am honored to have it in my home.
The mantle.
I know this might seem like an odd bouquet...but there is just something I love about those chippy/rusty legs...does that surprise you about me?
More rusty treasures.
The "Dining" area...where we rarely "dine"...
AKA...my "Studio". Because quite often this table is covered in current projects and supplies :)
And other times it is my "Office"...since this is where I stash my business stuff.
Yes, that's real grass...and no, I haven't killed it yet. Can't believe it.
A bowl full of numbers waiting for a purpose.
And another look at that hutch my husband made out of windows we bought on our honeymoon. Also, check out my Chipping with Charm sign from my friend Joan aka Signs of the Times. Love it...thanks again Joan!
One last peek in through the entry/sitting room. I took new pictures of that room too. I'll show you more of those next week...
Have a great weekend!

Chat soon,
What a charming room you've created with all your awesome treasure. You really are lucky to have the chest that belonged to your grandparents, I'm sure you have it full with vintage goodies. Love those chippy legs in the jar...that's something I'd do too.
ReplyDeleteYour great room is absolutely beautiful, Laurel! Our house is pretty small and doesn't have any big, open rooms like that, so I'm envious of your beautiful space. All your vintage pieces just make the room perfect!

ReplyDeleteCute leg bouquet! You have such a fantastic style going on in that room, but the thing that I love the most is your furniture arrangement. I am a line it up against the wall kind of gal, maybe I need to use some angles.

ReplyDeletexo jeanne!
Love your chippy/rust stuff.
ReplyDeleteI recently found a fabulous rusty old bench at an antique market; I have it on my back patio and it makes my heart flutter every time I look at it.
Recently a neighbour came by and say, "Wow, that will be gorgeous once you get it painted."
Arrrggghhhh....they just don't get it.
But I know you would!
Anyone else have this experience?

Your home is lovely. It's nice to know that others use their dining room table as a workspace, not an eating area. My table is full of "to-dos."
