You guys never cease to amaze me…I was completely blown away by your supportive and enthusiastic comments for yesterday’s Behind-the-Scenes post about my Redbook Cover Shoot! I’m still grinning like a goon from all the love…thank you!
Now let’s get to the matter at hand…the reason you’re all here today! Is it {One Room Challenge} reveal day, or Christmas Day…because frankly, I can’t tell the difference right now! I’m so beyond excited to share our new room with you…and even more excited to curl up with a cup of wine…I mean coffee, did I say wine? (it’s been a crazy 6 weeks!)…and check out the other 19 participant’s rooms today, and all the linking participants tomorrow. It’s going to be inspiration and eye-candy overload this week, and I can’t wait!
Let’s recap for those popping in for the first time…we tackled the ‘formal’ Living Room for this go-round (we did our Master Bedroom in the previous ORC). My goal was to create the feel of a jewel-box, with deep colors, lots of glam, and an element of drama, and I collaborated on the room with the most talented girl I know!
Week 1 I showed the Before shots and room layout, Week 2 featured the Design, Plans, and a big fat Hiccup, Week 3 was major Demolition Zone, Week 4 things got Light & Bright, and last week was all about the Navy Blue Tuxado! #whew
I’m not going to sugarcoat it…things got a little crazed, and up until two days ago, I still wasn’t sure I’d have a finished room in time. But all the late nights and fast food dinners were worth it, because they led to a room I can’t believe is in my house! How about I stop yapping and show you our new Living Room?
I’m warning you though, the number of pictures is excessive, but then again, subtlety isn’t really my game.
I could not be any happier with the room…it’s exactly the glammed-up, dramatic jewel box I’d envisioned. And of course what good are After shots without the Befores…I’d say this room came a long way!
And thank you, for following along on this ride, and all your encouragement along the way. Be sure to check back next Wednesday for a full Source List. #nowIsleep #anddrink #tomorrowismybirthdayafterall

No words…I am speechless. Your new space is pure perfection. I tried to pick out my favorite feature but I honestly love it all. Ya'll seriously knocked it WAY out of the park with this one. Stunning stunning stunning!
This is absolutely stunning!! I'm so afraid of colour, probably because I'll want to change it in a year. But I love the vibrancy of this room, it looks like it was taken right out of a magazine that's how outstanding it is! You are one talented gal!!
OMG Cassie girlfriend you just broke the internet!! Gawjus!
WOW! What a stunning space! I can't even choose a favorite thing – but the artwork is definitely one of my favorite things! Love it!
STOP it right now … I can not believe your incredible room!!! I know you are loving every single second of that incredible space in your house! I love it so much, and I can't say enough amazing things about it! WELL DONE girl, absolutely hands down, WELL DONE!! xo
I'm trying to find words to type but everything comes out so ridiculous-like! This is incredible! I love all the art and the wood bureau is stunning against all the colour madness! How will you ever leave the house now???
Seriously love this! Elegant and sassy! Are you going to do a source list? Wondering about sofa side tables. Congratulations–your hard work paid off!
Ballard and World Market both carry tables like that 🙂
Thank you so much! I'm crazy for the side tables…I'm working on a Source List for next week, but here's the link to the side tables now, since they are on sale!! http://bit.ly/1WEMlyh
Oh my gosh that built-in!!!!! Such a vibrant and stylish space.
WOW!
WOW!
What a beautiful room!! Hard to pick my favorite elements but I love the pillows, rug and art!! Amazing! Your outfit is stunning too! I love the photo of you sitting at the desk. So peaceful looking.
Oh Cassie, I love every single detail! The colors, the built-ins, the art. And you are adorable as always! Well done friend!
It's gorgeous Cassie!! Love all the bold and happy color and that amazing wall of bookshelves! It looks like it reflects your personality so well!
Absolutely gorgeous! Swooning over those built-ins
DYING and DROOLING! You killed it! I am crazy for the whole dang thing but the rug and the art…Bravo!
Um, holy $h!t Cassie!!!! Mind. Blown. The bookcases are beyond gorgeous. The color and sheen takes them to a whole different level of amazingness. The art you chose is perfect and totally you. I mean, just everything!!! I want to living in your living room! Girrrllll!!! Get ready for your site to get blown up because everyone is going to be talking about this room!
This design is out of this world…seriously Kristin's design and your follow through are amazing! GORGEOUS!!! You look as beautiful as your room! ~Sonya
It's crazy amazing. period.
Absolutely beautiful!
Truly the world's loveliest little jewel box. Baby take a bow!
The room looks good and that rug is fabulous!
Beautiful!!!! My goodness, it's everything I love in a loving room. Leopard. Gingham. Pink. Colors. Textures. IT'S AMAZING!!
Spectacular, amazing, wondrous..,,,,all the fabulous words!! To say that I love your room is an understatement.
CASSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OHHHHEMMMMMMMMMMGEEEEEEEEEE!
GORGEOUS! It's YOU in a ROOM!!!!!! Well done friend!!!!!!
That's exactly what I thought 'it's her in a room!"
This room is drop dead gorgeous! Those built-ins are definitely the star of the show! Great job Cassie!
Wow! You completely knocked it out of the ballpark with this room!!
o-m-gaaa, cassie…seriously I have no words – I'm blown away by its beauty. I now want to turn my formal living room back into a formal living with this! and that is saying something.
this looks amazing!
That is nuts! I am completely blown away in the difference in just 6 weeks. From bland and boring to stunning and so bright!!! Love, Love LOve
Looking at the photos is like good sex, complete satisfaction . Beautiful and beyond, right down to the stripe on the curtains. Rich in color, texture, and comfort. Great job!!
The art, pillows, drapery the to die for rug – It is all so AMAZING. I love your use of colour, it's so vibrant & refreshing & I feel happy looking at it! I can believe that this is even the same space. Incredible, Incredible, Incredible!!!!! – Hollie
Cassie,
I love it. The only thing I wasn't sure about at first were the curtains, BUT I love them. I love how everything pulled together and is a colorful representation of your personality.
Jenn
Home run, Cassie – simply wonderful! You have all of the elements – bravo!
Ok, this is perfection! I love the colors and mix of old and new!
Really beautiful!
It's gorgeous!
Stunning! Thank you for a room that is not beige and gray and furnished by R.H. Beautiful colors (are your walls really tall? They look like it) You look fabulous of course too.
Thanks so much! Yes…we have 10-foot ceilings!!
I can't even handle it!! Absolutely stunning!!
I don't even know where to start!! You nailed it Cassie! Absolutely STUNNING!!! You deserve your cup (er..u..glass) of wine!😉🍷
Xoxo,
Shauna
What a transformation! I cannot get over that rug, or the artwork. Just stunning!
Wow! Beautiful. . . and love the pic with your dog looking at you !! 🙂
Wowza!! I'm sorry to say that I'm afraid any birthday gifts you receive will never compare to the one you've given yourself with this room! How lucky you are to get to see this space everyday!
I can't believe how different it looks!! So full of color!
liz @ sundays with sophie
Absolutely incredible! Such a refined happy space – bravo!
This room is totally you! It's bold, fun and sassy. It's such a great reflection of your style and taste. You must be thrilled!
My eye balls don't even know what to do!!!! This is so amazing and so you. Enjoy a glass or five in that gorgeous room girl!
So much color, texture, depth – and you balance it all so well that it never looks overdone!
Cassie, this room is some kind of wonderful. It is a lot to take in, but the side of the room my eye immediately gets and is wowed by is the secretary between the windows. The art and all of it is perfect. I really like how elevated the arcs over each window look due to your choices. Is that the same sofa that used to match your family hand me down rug? Am I a jerk if I say I'd love to see some of that amazing acid yellow on the Hague blue shelves? In a few weeks (or months!) of course, after things settle. Because whew. This was a lot of hard work for you. Cheers!
Yes ma'am….same blue sofa we've had for 12 years! The room really brought it back to life, right?! Thanks so much for your sweet comment! xo
I'm surprised how much I like it!! This year I just started using color in my own home with an olive living room and a "pumpkin spice latte" master bed so color still scares me a bit. I love the little things on the shelves that express your personality!! So cute! The only thing I don't like is the picture on the shelves, I know it's chic and I see it everywhere but I just don't like or understand it!!

speechless! that is an amazing magazine worthy space. so much to see and every piece is perfectly placed but still so cozy and inviting. HOME RUN.
Can you do a reality post on how you are able to take care of your family with all of the priorities you have going on…it would make you more relatable. Most readers are inspired when they feel like they might be able to accomplish something similar so not sugar coating all of this would be a great read! Congrats on the room. Definitely your style.
Thanks so much, Kris! I've actually written a very similar post…check the About Me page and scroll to the bottom. I'm far from doing it all!!! xoxox
Obsessed! The happiest room! And you are so darling in it!!! xx
I'm in love, especially with the color palette!
Can Kristen Jackson be my new best friend? This is seriously stunning. I don't know if I'd have the courage to go that bold with color which is exactly what makes that room so dramatic and exciting. It's going to look wonderful at Christmas! Which in Bloggerland is practically next week…
WOW, SOOOO PRETTY! It seriously does look like a jewel box, so many pretty details to feast on! The artwork is amazing and I love all of your choices (especially those pretty yellow curtains!)
So inappropriate but I totally have a hard-on for this room #sorrynotsorry. That painting! OMG. Love.
Perfection!!!
Um…I can't even…absolute perfection! How decadent and glamorous that you have that gorgeous piece of custom artwork. I NEVER would have thought to put those colors together, but it SO works! Bravo! Enjoy your wine…I mean, coffee 😉
Out of the park. Everything. Dying. Cheers to you mama!
Wow. Just wow. It's the most gorgeous room I have ever seen. I looked at these pictures and was like that is exactly what I would want for my home. I'm blown away!
This room screams Sugarplum! It is stunning and beautiful and classy.
This is so so beautiful…the jewel tones are just sublime and my favourite thing is seeing the photos of you in the room because they showcase how perfectly this space reflects YOU! Your designer nailed making a scheme that reflects your vision and you brought it to life in the most perfect of ways. My favourite elements are of course the colour (hello rug and art) and the beautiful drapery with the secretary in the middle. It's all just so heavenly!!!!!!
When I first saw the design plan, I immediately thought of the very shirt you're wearing in these photos. It's a stunning room. So vibrant and fun… very reflective of your style and personality. You and Kristin did a fabulous job.
I can't leave here without adding to the comments because I am love with this room and I wish I could make everything in my life look like this room. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us normal people!
Stop it right now… this room is phenomenal and gorgeous and so perfect and I just want to move in!!! Congratulations!!
I know this has already been said repeatedly, but this is absolutely stunning! Congrats on putting together such a gorgeous space.
Hot bananas! It's gorgeous. It's so you and is straight from a magazine. Well done, girls! WOW!
are you freakin' kidding me!! ok, i KNEW it would be good… but I am seriously blown away. I feel like my Elle Decor subscription just arrived. Amazing. it is simply stunning.
from pam (pixelimpress)…are you freakin' kidding me!! ok, i KNEW it would be good… but I am seriously blown away. I feel like my Elle Decor subscription just arrived. Amazing. it is simply stunning. (we got a new computer and you can't see my name but want you to know it's me!)
Ok, this is like my favorite room in your house! LOVE the built ins and art. That makes all the difference. It looks like a completely different room!
So so beautiful! I wish you could come decorate my house!
It is stunning! Absolutely beautiful! It is so a reflection of you! It's glam and elegant but still approachable.
Oh wow Cassie! You really nailed it with this one–so fancy and yet fun. Very grownup sexy!! 😉
Speechless! It's lovely + a trillion!
Wow what a bold use of color! LOVE the transformation. Congrats!!
http://www.designsbykaty.com
Completely STUNNING!! Girl–everything about this room is on point! The jewel tones, the gingham pillow, the drapes, the dark moody build in color. And I adore those chairs and art!! And that Rug!! Seriously, you deserve your glass, erh, bottle of wine with this one, well done girl 🙂
Love the room – so whimsical and fun and serious at the same time!
I NEED to know where you got the end tables…they have to be mine…
Thanks so much, Christina! I'm working on a Source List post for next week, but I wanted to give you the link the side tables since they're on sale now! http://bit.ly/1WEMlyh
OMG Cassie,your room is absolutely stunning! SO YOU!!!! Definitely one of my faves! Love the dark shelves and all the pops of bright color !
What a beautiful transformation!! Your living room is absolutely picture perfect! I love the artwork hanging from the bookshelves and the pops of pink!
Love all the colors and furniture. I do have to say I don't think the desk fits in. Everything else is so modern and colorful and the desk just falls flat in my eye.
It belonged to my grandparents, so it has a lot of special meaning to us. And I love the mix of old and new…I know it's not for everyone, but it gives rooms the character I adore!!! xo
This room is insane!! I can not believe you pulled this together in only 6 weeks!!! Wow wow wow – there are no other words. (Can you tell that I love it?)
It is so you Cassie! Fun, Bright, Cheerful, Colorful!
My Oh My what a show stopper! Cassie this room feels like you opened your box of crayons and used every jewel tone color that spoke to your heart. This room must give you joy because I'm sure feeling it right here in my office as I scroll through the pictures. It's magnificent!
WOW! like others said this room is so YOU!! and it's stunning in so many ways! Are you going to have a source list of some of the items? where did you get that little monkey dish and plant holder? Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much! Yes…I'm working on a Source List for next Wednesday…it was just too much to include in this post, and I ran out of time!! xo
The colors are absolutely STUNNING! Y'all did a fantastic job. What an incredible space. Enjoy your rest and your birthday!
mind blown. if you've ever done a project that's more you, THIS ONE IS IT. Just amazing!!!
Unbelievable. This room is stunning. #dreamhome
Oh my gosh it looks SO gorgeous! I would never leave that room!
so pretty!! loving that blue and white bench.
This is seriously stunning Cassie!!!
Oh my gosh Cassie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just dying over this! I need to come see it ASAP! I am freaking in love!
Amazing !! You never cease to amaze me…you have totally mastered the eclectic look.I guess the rug pulls it all together!
On another unrelated note, do you mind sharing more information abt hair extensions? Was it clip on?Do you wear it everyday?
Hahaha!! Thank you! Yes…they are clip in pieces, and you can place them wherever you want. I rarely wear them, actually!
You just keeping outdoing yourself over and over, this is one of the prettiest rooms I have EVER laid eyes on. The painting on the bookshelves is what really does it for me. Wow!
Carrie

Wowza!! Spectacular! There have been many before/afters that I've been impressed with over the many years of reading blogs, but this by far is my favorite. Wonderful team work! Congratulations to you both – enjoy the room!
Absolutley stunning!
Oh my – where to begin? The use of colour in this room is both decadent and utterly drool-worthy! Those bold goldenrod drapery panels with their delicious trim are the perfect frame for that elegant secretary. I love the second life rug and how it connects with the vibrant artwork, and most importantly I love how the room feels so YOU! Your designer clearly gets you, and your space is just gorgeous! Congratulations! xx
Words can't express!! I told myself I had to get through five work things today, including one big one, before I could look at the reveal. Thanks for the motivation!
That's incredible. What an amazing transformation! It's beautiful, so you, and must be such a statement when you walk in your door!
Like others I feel like if you were to come back as a room, this would be it. It's whimsical and beautiful and light-hearted and dramatic but fun. In other words – it is you. The sentimental family pieces keep it real and personal. A perfect room.
WOW, WOW, WOW! That bold blue wall of book cases is my new everything! LOVE it all! Congrats!:)
UNBELIEVABLE. This is so incredible, and ditto to everything everyone has said. Well done. I'll take one of everything.
Girl…kapow! You guys killed this room….it's chock full of great things to swoon over:) Love the navy bookshelves and just about everything in the space. The art..the fabrics and your cute doggie looking out the window….along with how damn adorable you are all dressed up matching the room!
What a stunning transformation. I adore all the colors and pattern play. I especially love that you are in the photos showcasing your style. Bravo!
Cassie, I'm just speechless… this is SO, SO good! I love every bit. The drapes with your vintage artwork hung between them are my favorite part, I think. Or the shelves. Or wait, the mirror and sconces… goodness, I love it all! Now, I think you deserve a tropical vacay after all of your hard work! 😉
Cassie, Wow! What a gorgeous room and really represents your personality! Colorful, fun and outgoing! That rug is amazing and those built -ins in that highgloss navy. I love every detail in the room and adore that you used your grandparents piece in this room. I am one for mixing old and new and big on having a sentimental and meaningful piece in every room. You and Maggie look adorable!
Amazing! I knew it would be. That navy blue trim is just gorgeous, and I love all the jewel tones. Very cool. And, I love how your blouse matches the throw pillows! 🙂
Incredibly beautiful! You hit it out of the park, you and Kristen did an amazing job putting this room together. It's so you!!! I wish I could pick one thing I love most but it's all awesome!! Congrats!!!
Wow! The room is fabulous and totally you! LOVE it!!! Great job!!!
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
(that's me open-mouthed and drooling over the masterful makeover of this room)
I don't even know what to say, it is all so flawlessly done. So much color, so much style, so very, very YOU. Bra-freakin-VO!!!
Wow wow wow!! What a transformation!!! Love it all and every last photo!!!
Every part of this room is perfect, Cassie!!!
Wowww!!!! The space looks incredible!!!! I won't even begin to name everything I love because I would be going on and on…You and Kristin did an amazing job!! Go enjoy a tall glass of wine — you deserve it! How can we shop your room?? That rug is going to be sold out in no time!

Are you kidding me? This room is RIDICULOUS! I am head over heels in love. Absolute perfection.
SO gorgeous! I love the dramatic and bright colors. It all turned out perfectly!
This room is amazing, all of the bright colors! I love it!
Oh my Cassie. Broke the internet indeed. This is beyond gorgeous. Ya'll need to work together some more. Congratulations! It is absolutely stunning, down to every last detail.
Whoa. You really stepped up your game. It looks amazing.

I can't stop looking at everything! Such a success! Your vision shines through in every way! BRAVO! Can you hear me clapping and cheering! Congratulations!
Ivy
Beautiful and gorgeous. I wish you many happy gatherings in this room. Please keep including your dog. Our 'ol man Benny headed to doggy heaven a few months ago. Seeing others family pets makes me smile and think of happy times.
OH Cassie this is just STUNNING! You've been inspiring me for some time now and was thrilled to see you in this ORC round! I have to admit I like the before but the after is just AMAZING! It's fun, beautiful and chic just like you! I had planned to be in my photos but you know last min styling took away from me being photo shoot ready! BRAVO on a job well done! XOXO, Sarah
Girllllllll, you done done it. Like everyone is saying, this room is SO you! Great job to you and Kristin!!!!
This is SERIOUSLY unbelieveable!! I think you just broke the internet! By far one of the most incredible makeovers I have ever seen- amazing job!!!
Insanely gorgeous room! I love how bold and deliciously chic your room looks. Well done!

Wow. Just wow!! Incredibly beautiful. Breathtaking! You deserve a standing ovation!:)
What an insanely gorgeous room! The colors are bold and total perfection! You did an incredible job!
Beautifully done, just stunning!
You knocked it out of the park, Cassie! Everything is stunning. I love those lamps and that pendant light so much and can't get over how stunning those built-ins are! Amazing job! 😀
This room is insane, in a positive way! It's so full of personality and just enough of quirkiness, I am in love!
This room is amazing 🙂 Dreaming of having something close to this one day !
It's absolutely stunning! The colors are so vibrant and fun. You must stop and stare every time you walk by the room!
Cheers! Shelley
This is absolutely STUNNING! Love the vibrant colors of your living room. You and Kristen did an amazing job in creating this glamorous room.
Cassie!! Hands down…my favorite ORC room! It is gorgeous and oh so fabulous. I am ready to come over for a glass of wine. Let me know when you are home!
Absolutely wonderful how nice to see a room that is not varying shades of white or beige, I can't stop looking at it. I wonder what have you backed the shelves of the bureau with, is it paper or fabric, understated but just the right amount of bling.
Incredible! every single element is amazing! where is the rug from?
The rug is from Rugs USA…I'll provide a full Source List and links next Wednesday! xo
You completely killed it! If I saw this room in a magazine, I would totally think of you and that is what I love most about it. It is SO you and I feel like everything came together perfectly!
Your room is really amazing. But just to prove I looked at ALL the pictures – your adorable heels are Jessica Simpson (I can read the label on the insole), and I was so hopeful they'd be affordable, but you linked to Sam Edelman ones which, while not terrible at $66, are over my "just for fun" shoe limit. I don't suppose the ones you bought are still for sale?
Thanks so much! yes, my shoes are actually Jessica Simpson, but are a few years old and no longer available. I linked a similar pair, but I'd suggest checking Kohls or Target for more affordable options, too! xo
Love, love, love. You've done a fantastic job, Cassie. And is that a Botero above the secertary?
Thanks so much! I think it's inspired by Botero…but my grandmother actually painted it!!
The placement of the art struck me at first but now I think it's genius. And the glossy navy built-in is stunning and completely makes the room. I love it! Congrats on the fabulous work!
i would like to know where i can buy the white lamps
The lamps are Basset Mirror Company….I'll have a full Source List next Wednesday, with links to everything!! xo
I'm speechless (no easy feat)!!!! This room is worthy of gracing the pages of a glossy mag!!! And YOU are just the icing on the ORC cake. Brava to you & Kristin!!!!!
*slinking away to my inferior living room*
You give me hope and courage! Gorgeous room.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN CAN BE SAID! Just, "Ditto" x Googleplex! Something else that I didn't read in the comments. If you take away the artwork, pillows, rug and curtains, you have a pretty neutral pallet. I mean, dark blue can be considered a neutral. So, Presto! Chango! (if it were only that easy) you can change the look when you get tired of this one! Of course, I NEVER would get tired of it! I am energized just looking at it. THANK YOU! (a new subscriber here!)
What a beautiful transformation! I love all your bold color choices. Also really loved the main painting….which was so funny because after seeing it I had to go to my framer….and there were two small paintings that were so similar…..and guess what??!! same artist!! She uses my framer! What a coincidence. Also loved your outfit!! I bet your are not leaving this room. So gorgeous!
that's so cool….such a small world! That framer does an amazing job…and Dara is just talented beyond belief!
So fabulous… I love that light fixture the most… no, the built ins …. no that blue bench… no the purple buffalo check pillows… It's all amazing!! I can't choose a favorite!!
I would like to know where I can buy the white Lamps, the are great.,
[email protected]
You never stop amaze me! This makeover is just WoWw!
I follow you since months from Morocco. You inspired me remake my kitchen and now my family room. Thank you
My oh my, It's just STUNNING! I love every single detail!
I am late to this post, but I just have to say HOLY MOLY THIS ROOM IS AMAZING! It makes me want to redecorate {again} in these colors because they are all SO me!!! I do pink and yellow right now, but man I need to add in everything else. Simply gorgeous….job WELL done. http://www.californiatocarolina.com
After scrolling through all the comments and not seeing anyone ask, my question is: how do you use this room? Is the entire family comfortable with the color scheme and the couch as the only seating option? (Can't picture anyone using the bench as a seating spot). My humble opinion is that this room makes an awesome shelter magazine page, but for a daily life of a family with kids… I can't see it.
Hi Mila…this room is our formal living…not formal in the sense of being stuffy & fancy, but that it's not our main living area. We have a Den and Family Room…both with comfortable sectional sofas and TVs. This is the room right off the entrance that's not part of our daily living, so I used the chance to have a lot more fun with it. My son is more of a neutral-lover, so his room is more muted, but he doesn't really get a say in the rest of the house…he'll have his own house to decorate how he wants someday. 😉 And there's lots of seating, between the sofa, two arm chairs, desk chair and bench…it comfortably sits 7-8 people. Since the kids are usually near the TV, this room has become my fave spot to enjoy some peace and quiet with my coffee on the weekends. Hope this helps! xo
You are my newest design crush. I ADORE this room! It's over the top gorgeous. AND I want your outfit. AMAZING. Every inch of the space.
Hi Cassie! I'm so completely in love with every aspect of this makeover!
Question-is that rug as vibrant and bright as your photos make it out to be? I've looked at your source list and I've gathered that it's the zahra collection from surya…but all the photos I've seen online show it to be more dull/less saturated as what your photos show. I'm super interested in picking one up if the colors are that bold and beautiful! Any info on it would be so helpful! Thanks!!!
Thanks so much, Jane! It was dark the day we shot these pics, so she did amp up the saturation a bit…but the pictures on retailer websites are def a little dull. I'd say the true color is somewhere in-between. 🙂 I hope that helps…it's a stunning rug!
Love it!! Where oh where is that beautiful bench seat from? The blue and white is spectacular and I must have it!
It's from One King's Lane…you can find all the sources linked in this post: http://www.hisugarplumsblog.com/2015/11/one-room-challenge-source-list-breakdown.html
xoxox. C
Well, I just looked at your dining room and loved it so came on over here to the living room. How on earth did you ever think to put all these things together that I would never have believed would play so darn nicely together? Again, not what my house looks like but oh my gosh, I love it. It just sings.
