PROJECT UPDATE





It's Friday and I've had a busy week trying to get organized.  I am having my nephews shower here in 2 weeks so I have to get all my spring planting done, clean my house which as you all know means re-shushing.  Trying to figure out how long that will take is like trying to figure out "infinite time".

"Time is infinite meaning time has never started nor will it stop".

That pretty much sums it up right?  

Each step requires me to stay focused and not to get caught up in full on redecorating.  I only have 2 weeks.

And then there is the matter of working on a dining room, office, finishing up a den, accessorizing a bathroom and bedroom.  Some of which has to be done before I go to the beach in 2 weeks.

Breath.

But whatever.....let's get down to some good stuff.

This window

Which is right beside the kitchen as you can see in the photo below.



I was trying to figure out how to make this area interesting....besides the fact that the window is pretty special on it's own.

I saw this image on Pinterest [ I searched to find out where it came from but no luck!]

Donna Benedetto

It gave me some inspiration.
  
Upholster the wall.


In a dark linen to give it some weight.

And because the window is not centered on the wall we decided to add some interest by swooping it down on one side.

This shot was in the experimental stage.



Settling on simple....


We actually took it all the way down to the bottom curve on the window.


I wish I had more pictures of this area....

The chair belonged to her grandfather....and it has become a cozy spot to relax.


I covered it in a simple linen flax with this pretty Fabricut trim to give it some interest.

Alrighty then.....off and running!  Have a great weekend y'all.

This is the perfect lesson in exercising restraint. When I saw that first trim around the window I swooned, it was so striking and unexpected. But then it turns out simple nailhead trim is exactly the right call. I would have labored over that choice for eternity, and gotten it wrong. This house is beyond stunning. Best, Beth C.

I have that banquette pinned. That was thinking outside the box to just upholster the wall. It looks amazing! It not only brings attention to a beautiful feature but makes for a lovely vignette of the now reading corner. Wow! Love to see more of this home.

Genius idea. I mean... I couldn't have imagined that you could elevate an already beautiful space even more. But you saw something there that really took it to another level. I bow to you lady! This whole project is next level... love being able to peek in and follow along!

Hello Sherri,
Loving your work – I found your blog browsing from Pinterest.
I have been looking for a round pedestal table for the longest time.
Could you please tell the source for the pedestal table by the window? It looks like the perfect size as end table near the couch.
Thank you in advance!
