Flights of Fancy

We were asked by my cousin, Ashley, to come up with a plan for her living room that she could execute slowly over time.  She has four kids so a livable living room combined with filling her grande space was a must!  They recently built a lovely large home in Tennesee and she's done a great job planning it.  The features speak for themselves and custom detail can be seen throughout.  But she needs help pulling it all together


We had to use the furniture she already has and lucky for us her, the sofa is fantastic and it works so well with a large rug she had placed in her entry that she picked up in Turkey during a family trip. We picked an accent color out of her rug and used grasscloth wallpaper to accentuate it, along with the addition of two slipper chairs, a bench and some accessories.  We found an old picture of my uncle in Germany (where she also lived for a few years) for her to have blown up and hung on the wall.  Since Ashley (and her dad) are pilots, we incorporated some flight-y elements like the coffee table.

We love challenges where we have to utilize some pieces that are already there.  Really makes you think!

Hope you had a great holiday!!!

  5. I love how you captured their personality with the photo, and trunk. I'll always love the texture grasscloth adds and the color will be perfect with the rug! Nice job...again! :)
