My re-furbished x-bench, I have had this for 5 years and I finally love it. Post on its evolution coming soon.
So it’s about time I began my House Tour. Well, my own home style is Vintage, Cottagy, Classic. If you know me, you know I am not a catalog type of girl. I don’t want someone to see my space and think, I can find that entire living room in a Ballard catalog. I think it is great to accentuate a space with catalogue pieces but you need to make it your own.
I am huge in classic pieces. Those pieces that will stand the test of time. And then have fun with pops of modern and colors.
Almost every piece in my home were hunted down, refurbished/refinished by me, or I lucked out at an Estate sale.
(I’ll do individual posts for specific items but here is the overall space).
This is my ultimate wow coffee table. A generous Staging client passed it down to me when her parents home sold. She saw how much a drooled over it when I was in her parents home. I hope she can see that I have cherished it in it’s new home.
Isn’t it just a killer coffee table. Check out my coffee table posts here. (coming asap).
Styling my coffee table with memorable vintage pieces from my childhood home and other flea market finds. And nothing like the perfect backdrop-the fireplace. Original plaster carving. I probably wouldn’t move out of my house because of this mantel.
We added these built-in shelves a few years ago, I had just too many books and “finds” that I needed a place to display them. From my estate sale candlesticks, that I paid $1 each for and come to find out they are on ebay.uk for over $900, to my collection of estate sale books and a little pop of something new with my garden stool.
I think every piece on my mantel was a flea market or antique store find. I love them all, imagining the stories they could tell.
Mixing vintage (like the brass floor lamp) with pops of transitional fabric patterns. All pillows and upholstery I diy’ed it somehow.

And a little taste of the space.

Thanks Luci! That is exactly what I try for, collected 🙂 Even all the frames etc are hunted down and not store bought, really to create a space that is comfortable but unique.

Absolutely beautiful! I love the neutral shades of the walls and furniture tastefully combined with the decor, which brings a splash of colors to the whole space. It really says a lot about how great your sense of style and aesthetic are. Thank you so much for sharing that leg of the tour! Wishing you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving!

Wow! Your living room is absolutely stunning. Every furniture looks modern and cozy, both in color and design. All things are organized and arranged meaningfully, which I believe is a wise expression of your personality and idea. Thanks for giving us that lovely tour, Keki! All the best to you!
