Slowly but surely

Bit by bit, things are coming together. My dining room is mostly back together. 


The curtains are back and a few pictures hung.

There will be more on this wall. When I hung the mirror, the first time, the old and brittle wire snapped. It hit the chair rail knocking a hunk out and gouged the wall. Luckily I was standing there and caught it before it hit the floor and shattered entirely. The wall had to be painted a fifth time! 


I was thrilled that my pillows arrived for the family room and...

The walls really are pink

the living room.
The bombe chest arrives today and nearly a year (10 months actually) after moving in I feel like my spaces are closer to my goal.
The end is never really the end. I'll always be tweaking this and that but my goal was to have a cohesive look instead of a white box with furniture in it.
How long did it take you to decorate your current house?

  1. Hi Kerry, love the room, love your style! That is crazy about the mirror falling. I have always feared that sort of thing. I have a couple of heavy mirrors and wonder when they will crash...

    The room is looking great. Yes, I can see from your style you would totally love a good shopping day in Georgetown (at least browsing). We also found some wonderful shops in Alexandria including a few good thrift stores in Old Town and nearby Del Ray. If I lived there I would never pay full price again but buy everything vintage. We don't have nearly the selection here.

    We love Virginia (my husband is a civil war buff, so we will be back)!
