As Memorial day has passed and we are now in the unofficial start of summer (HELLO, Mother Nature), I thought I would share the living room before things change to more summery decor. It has been cloudy, rainy, overcast and cool for days. I edited these pictures as much as I could but some are just dark. This first picture is what you see when you come down the stairs from the second floor. Our master is on the first floor but when I do go upstairs to clean I love this view.
I always love a touch of animal print in any room and do love this rug. Plants, real and faux bring a room to life.
I do sit in this chair some mornings when I am up first and just take it all in.
Blue and white collections are being featured all over blogland. I am so glad I started collecting over 30 years ago!
During the winter I sit on this sectional and read. I feel cozy in this room.
Joe gave me this orchid for Mother's day and so far I have managed to keep it alive!!! Orchids have never been easy for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I brought out my blue and white koi pillow. It is one of my favorites.
As you know, my FIL brought the elephants back from Vietnam.
I wish I knew who made this for my parents marriage.
Love my jar pillows too!

Thanks for stopping by, please let me know you were here! I ahve been sick, several issues I have been dealing with so haven't been able to post much. Hopefully I will be feeling better soon.
XO, Pinky
