  1. Very pretty, well thought out and functional space. It really speaks to your decorating style. I so appreciate you participating in the challenge and doing a space that did not take on structural changes or construction. I am a pretty slow decorator and it is affirming to see a space evolve over the course of a couple of months. Really enjoyed following your progress and your informative posts on the process you use to achieve the final result.

    1. Thanks so much, Pamela!! I could never do structural in 6 weeks… lol!! Of course, I didn’t know about the challenge until the night before it started, so I made a very quick choice… 😉 So glad it resonated with you!!

  2. Your room makeover is lovely! I really appreciate you sharing the process with us, week-by-week. I love what I call “casual elegance” in room design. Just can’t get away from the bling but love the relaxed feeling of casual style. Congratulations on creating a design that will “make you smile” and inspire us!

    1. Thank you, Linda! I use the term casual elegance, as well! 🙂 It’s definitely what I’m going after, so I’m really glad it read that way. Thanks for visiting!!

  3. You have such a way with the details! So very pretty! The chairs, chandelier, and accessories are to die for. I love it all! Way to go!

  9. Looks beautiful Lory! Love those grainsack pillows : ) Such stunning pieces in here!

  10. What a transformation and happy place whether leaving or arriving. I like that it continues the style of the rest of your lovely home in a less formal way. Lovely!

  11. Love those walking sticks – what a great idea for a collection. I just saw a couple at my local antiques mall ( I may have to go look at them again…). Very nice!

  12. Wow, that is beautiful Lory! Every detail adds to your overall French vintage look. I love your chandy and the gold box, and the plaques….just everything! I need you to come do this in my house!

  13. Beautiful job & well done…just a note: Don’t change the flooring…it really adds to the elegance of the room!

    1. Thanks so much! I was hoping to do marble, so it should still be elegant, but it will have to wait, so I’m glad you think this one looks nice… 🙂 Thanks for visiting!

  14. Lots of function achieved while maintaining casual elegance. I wish you could visit me. I moved and am trying to downsize recently as well as I have a tendency to have too many small accessories or collections. I’m working on that, but would love to achieve a less busy elegance. Your photos are such a help.

    1. I’m so glad to hear that! I’m actually working on a program to help people downsize and clear the clutter, but it’s a few months from completion… 🙂

  16. It’s a very pretty & well-appointed space, and thanks to your resource guide I finally know the name of something I inherited from my Mom — a dresser jar!

    Hi Lory,
    What wall paint color did you use in your home in your back foyer? I’m very interested in what paint colors you use in your home because I favor the neutral palette as well and it seems you have a good sense of light direction when you select colors for your rooms.
