A cozy home!

I was so excited to have an Interior Designer come and visit this weekend! She takes things that you already have and changes it into something wonderfully new! She helps with room arrangements and placement. Here is what she did in the living room. I wish I would have taken before pictures! You should be able to click on the pictures to enlarge them a bit.

This is my favorite thing that she did.

It's my favorite little spot!

She took this out of the dining room.

It looks so great in here!

I have struggled with this room for 5 years not knowing where to put the furniture!
It looks so great the way she has arranged it!

This picture came out kinda fuzzy, but she had me put all of my books up

above the mirror. I love how this looks!

Books are one of my favorite things

and it is great to have them on display!

She said that you should display things that reflect your personality and/or passion.

After much struggle, she finally talked me into taking down the border.I loved that border, but she explained how it takes the focus away from the wood.There really is a big difference!
Here is what she did in the family room. I sold ALOT of my Americana things on E-Bay last week, and so we tried to simplify things in here. I am sooooo pleased with the end result! I can't wait to have her back in January to work on a few more rooms!
