Mimi Sue's Cottage

A home is much more than a house built of lumber, brick, or stone. A home is made of love, sacrifice, and respect. We are responsible for the homes we build. We must build wisely, for eternity is not a short voyage. There will be calm and wind, sunlight and shadows, joy and sorrow. But if we really try, our home can be a bit of heaven here on earth. Thomas S Monson

Living Room Makeover

 
It's been a year long process.  Maybe two.
 
 It took me forever to decide what to do.
 
It took we a long time to find the fabric.
 
It took we awhile to find the upholsterer.
 
But now it's done!
 
Loveseat
 




Chair
 

 
 
I still need to find the perfect rug.
 
We need to paint, but decided to wait until it's not so hot
so we can open some windows.
 
It took awhile.  But I think it's been worth the wait.

I agree with Susan, it totally reminds me of the great ME! I love the love seat upholstery (is the welting done in the chair fabric? swoon!) as well as the chair covering....and all of your wall decor. Oh yeah, I could cozy up in that room in a minute!
Bravo!

So lovely, and I adore all the lace accents. I especially love the lace that hangs down just a bit over your large window! What a comfortable space!

Not exactly sure. Thinking maybe a taupe??? Any suggestions? I have a yellow wall it's going to live right next to so it's got to be right!

We had the Sweet Peas and their parents here for a fun in the sun 4th of July week!

We decorated a few sidewalks.

We swung on the swing.
We played with balloons and giant flyswatters from the Dollar Store.
