The Shabby Nest: An Autumn-Inspired Living Room~

I had the opportunity recently to work on a living room e-design for a dear friend of mine from Massachusetts.? She and her family had recently relocated to Wisconsin, and had purchased a new home which was bigger than the one they had in Massachusetts.

This left her with a fun dilemma (well, fun to me, anyway).? She didn't have enough furniture to fill the new house.? She and her husband often entertain business colleagues, and she wanted to create a living room which would be a great place for conversation and which would truly incorporate who their family is.?? To make sure that the room was a reflection?of their family, we started by picking out some art that reminded them of their home in Massachusetts...a beautiful photograph of the Quabbin Reservoir in the autumn.

She also requested that I incorporate the color red, since she has an open floor plan, and red is a color that she already has in her kitchen and dining room.? Because I was going to use red in the color scheme and the photo we chose showcased the autumn colors of New England, a fall-hued palette seemed like a natural choice.

Pretty golds, browns, reds (of course) and a touch of green make this living room a cozy, comfortable place to be and to entertain.? And the best part, is when I was finished coming up with the plan, I could really see my friend living in the space.? And her resulting email to?me confirmed that this is exactly what she would have designed, if she could have done it herself.? To a designer, there is really no greater compliment than that!

If you have a design dilemma that you'd like help with, I'm your gal.? You can check out my e-design packages here.?

Out of respect for my paying clients, I do not post e-design sources on my blog.? Thanks for understanding.
