I started to look at my living areas and knew they were ready for some refinement. As we got acquainted with the house, my design vision crystalized and I’ve been itching to start fine tuning.
I’ve been wanting to get it right for a while now and I think I’m finally close. The best part is, all it took was a few simple changes to make all the difference in the world.
I had to look at it with fresh eyes. The best way to do that, and something I highly recommend to anyone restyling a space, is to move all the decorative items out and to look at what’s left as if approaching it for the first time.
That means every pillow, every vase, every tchotchke. I cleared off the coffee table, mantel, sideboard and sofa, and moved the pieces that were standing on the floor, as well.
I settled on a selection of mostly linen pillows, including the soutache scroll, above, and a cross weave linen lumbar. In the corner, for interest, I added a printed velvet damask and I’ve got two more pillows on the way with pom pom tassel corners.
