Happy September, friends! I hope you’re well! It’s been a while since our last conversation but I’m still here, and have a fun little project to share with you. If you have a wall in your home that’s needing a bit of love and attention, or just some prettying up, perhaps today’s little story on hanging art will give you some ideas.

Hi, friends! Do you remember that DIY project I was telling you about a couple of weeks ago? Well, I underestimated the amount of time it would take me to get it done, styled and shot (oops!) but it’s finally finished and I’m happy with the result, so I thought I’d share the process with you, in case you need some encouragement to do a little reupholstering of your own.

A roaring fire on cold winter nights, deep, comfortable seating and the company of loved ones (four-legged sweethearts included) make life in a country cottage infinitely sweeter. A fireplace is a wonderful thing to have in a home and when it’s in the right spot, it often becomes the focal point of a room’s entire decorating scheme.

Dear friends, thank you so much for your kind comments and for your interest in our family room redesign! As I was working my way through your messages and emails, I thought it would be easier to answer some of your questions regarding paint color, fabrics, lighting etc in a blog post rather than individual replies. This way all sourcing info will be available in one place and, if you see something you like, you can refer back to it at a later time. While I cannot always share sources for client work, I am very happy to share what I use in my own home. To add more clarity to my previous post about our family room, I also included a couple of sketches of the floor plan, just to give you a bird’s eye view of the changes I was telling you about in THIS POST. I hope they will better illustrate my descriptions and clarify some of your questions regarding the placement of the new doors and windows.
We all dream of beautiful homes that are comfortable, welcoming and deeply personal yet, ironically, creating a home that is easy to live in can be at times a daunting process, even for those of us who happen to do this for a living. If you’ve been following Cafe Design for some time, then you may know that our family room has been the main object of my efforts since we bought our cottage three summers ago. We began implementing changes slowly over time and it’s taken me the better part of the last three years to bring the family room to a place where it makes life in our house considerably more pleasant and comfortable. It has also required every ounce of patience on my end, but we’ve recently completed the final steps of this renovation and I’m excited to share the finished room with you!
