The house we have been in the last year has been great. Lots of space and lots of room for improvement. We originally used the room off the main living area (we think originally was a sun room) for the girls toys and my sewing projects. It's about 15' x 21' and had a door off to the back yard. The toys have only played with sporadically, and mixing sewing pins with crawling babies hasn't proven to be a good idea. So, true to the Pendleton itch, we decided to move some things around and to re-purpose this room to be second living area and to move the girls toys into the bedroom off the new den. A pair of French doors separate the living room and den allowing the girls to have more room and more importantly the ability to close the door on a messy toy room.
I wanted to put a twist on this new area as far as color and style. I found a few fabulous pieces that I had to share. I can't reiterate enough the benefit of looking in uncommon places for uncommon objects.
Perfectly orange. My new color scheme blossomed when I brought this little lamp home. Clean, traditional lines in a color that screams mod against my sailors coat blue. Delish!
Okay, my favorite weekly estate sale gem. Not sure if it is acrylic or Lucite, but with only minor scratches on the top surface (which can be buffed out), for $30 this was a steal. (please pay no attention to the unfinished floors below)
My final find. A brass three sphere lamp with metallic grass cloth shade. For $35 you couldn't get that at Target, thank you very much. I LOVE this lamp. It gives such a warm glow and couldn't be more perfect for this traditionally modern space.
As this project continues, I'll continue to fill you in. It's amazing the memories I have of my childhood home regarding the colors and textures of it's interior. It's true what they say, styles and fashions make their way back into style every 20-30 years and this time, it's gonna be fabulous!
