spring it on - before & afters!

there is something magical about having one extra hour of sunlight.  the hibernation ends, and once again I feel productive and energized.  so, in honor of daylight savings time, here is the almost-there reveal for the living room and the peacock-blue office!


the living room before (pink with brown accent wall, ugly brick around fireplace, no window coverings, and a horrific amount of molding above the mantle, etc.):


the living room after (revere pewter walls, tango tangerine couch!, sealskin fireplace, and plantation shutters.  couch: room&board, grey leather chairs and rug: west elm, lack square coffee tables: IKEA, mercury glass gourd lamps: HomeGoods)


most of the art we put up is actually decorative paper from Paper Source (previous post).  the photos above the fireplace are of the camels I rode through Petra, Jordan, a few years ago. love those camels.





the office before (pink and mauve, with maroon accents and wallpaper, yuck!):





inspiration office:


the office after (peacock blue/green, with black, white and orange accents, yay!):


still looking for my zebra inspiration rug... and I'm hoping to fill that far wall with all our black & white travel photos.  orange magazine holders are from IKEA and only $3.99 for a pack of two! (Domino, I held on to you...)


so that's what i've been doing for the past three months!  here's my favorite little flower, ranunculus, to welcome in the spring!
