I am not an interior decorator...no kidding!! I read the beautiful blogs of blog land, and I am inspired on a regular basis...and I have so much fun using my home as my personal styling lab! I get such a kick out of going back and looking at old photos when I had items that I loved, and was trying to use them to get the look I wanted. I'm getting close - but I have fun thinking what my rooms will look like next year...when the current pictures will be the "befores"! I thought you'd like to see the evolution, so here is my front room when I just began using flea market finds and refurbished items to decorate:
These are some picture I submitted to a contest held by Romantic Homes Magazine...I did not win :) but I had fun staging and working on the room...
...And here's what the room looks like today (next year's "before"):
My dog Sydney is usually very camera-shy, and runs whenever I try to take her picture. However, let me try to take some styling pictures, and she wants to be part of the action! Go figure...
Do your "befores" make you smile?
Have a great week!!
Sydney looks so lady-like with her paws crossed ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy befores make me realize how much my style has grown, but I don't have many because I only just moved here one year ago.

LOL! Sydney looks like she's posing for a photo.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun to see the evolution of your room. It looks really lovely. You've collected some amazingly beautiful pieces.
Funny, how we tend to swap out things we love for things we find that we love even more! I really admire your cool whites in your interior design plan. It is a scheme I am shifting towards, but am not there yet... and by the time I get there, it will be shifting to something new again as I repaint every year anyway. Your front room is dreamy! andrea@townandprairie
