Before and After: Some Mid-Project Updates

I've got a couple of photos to show related to past posts.  Works in progress.  Unlike HGTV, rooms are not completed in 30 minutes, or even a few days.  In real life, no matter the budget or the effort,  a great space evolves.

From What the Room Next Door Can Say About the Room You're In, the sofa and chair arrived last week, and we are starting on the window treatments.  This is the fabric, over the back of the sofa.  The roll of fabric is for some big down pillows with a great trim, and the walls were painted in the BM Stonybrook I suggested in the initial post. The inside back of the bookcases were done in BM Quiet Moments.

The lamp on the table is changing, and along with window treatments, the art needs to be hung.  A coffee table/ottoman is coming at some point.  I had to show the progress of the dining room, too.  The farm table, chairs and hutch are from the Boston condo I had helped them with prior to this house.  Don't you love the fabric on the chairs?  I can't take credit for the wall paper, but it is to die for.  Window treatments are next in this room.

On to an update on Choosing a Rug with a Client.

My client has kept the more muted rug -- Yeah!  I dropped off the yummy pillow on the chair yesterday and took this picture.  We still need a new lamp, something a bit beefier, and the artwork.  It's shaping up, though!

Finally, the fabrics that were used in the post Don't Buy the Blouse Without the Skirt.  While they look like coordinates and matchy-matchy in the picture, they do have different textures, but the same undertones.  They are not milled coordinates.  They will, however, allow the client to put any number of accent colors with them.  They are a great neutral base.  The solid is the sofa.

Thanks for visiting today.  Have a great, spooky  Halloween filled with your favorite candy!

Talk to you soon,
