Some Changes in the Living Room

This is the view when I come down the stairs. Yes, our master IS on this main floor but many nights I can not sleep due to a certain someone's snoring and retreat to the guest room upstairs. I love seeing this view first thing in the morning.

I changed out the vignette on the mantle too.

I redid this arrangement. I took the yellow forsythia out and added more white flowers and some more greens. Since then I have found some more of the poppies so have added them now. The little blue and white pot holds a faux ball.

The little lady is a piece my Mom gave us and I plced her up on the glass candle stick with some greens. She replaces a bunny that was here. The faux hydrangea is in a blue and white pot.

I put a nest and some faux greens in this cloche and put it all on a stand.

The sun comes in from the east in the early morning then swings around to the back of the house that faces south. I LOVE how light and bright the whole back of the house is all day!

Looking around the room from different angles.

The light changes from minute to minute.

I got 2 faux ferns for my handled pot. I have tried several real plants and they never do well so I gave up for now:)

This guy is one of my favorites. I inherited him from my in-laws. Another treasured piece.

For the first 2 years we were here I had a large hibiscus in this corner. I ended up deciding to get rid of it cause it was so messy and so ugly. I like this table here much better. The lamp is from my son. Another treasure:)

I wish I knew who did this for my parents. I am just glad that I have it!

A New Pillow and Vignette!

I like to change out the pillow on the living room chair seasonally. I loved the bunny pillow that was here for Easter season. I knew I wanted to find something for Spring/Summer though. I was thinking birds and found one that was nice. BUT, the other day I was at Lowes (I swear we practically live there) and I was walking through the area where they have the summer cushions and décor and THERE IT WAS!!!! It was love at first sight. AND, the price was great! SOLD! I really love it, the colors are perfect!

I love how it matches so well the fabric on the chair.

I love this chair. It was my sons, thank you, Brian! I love the curvy arms, the beautiful fabric and the style.

The base of the chair has an Asian look too!

I have this carved wooden table from India next to the chair and a faux orchid sits on it. The blue jar came from Epcot MANY years ago. The other jar came from a craft show.
