Blue Summer Living Room & My Win!

Good day everyone!

Finally, after or month long travel,  and weeks of settling back in, I'm finally ready to share with you 
our Summer Living room!

Blue, yellow/brass & green all around


The Last Time I probably get to use this coffee table for a while... :-(

I moved all my blue and white collection into the living room from the Dining room, and the plants all around made the room feel fresher too!

Piano Vignette

Symmetry is key

Our sitting area is all yellow

In love with this lamp!
I was very fortunate to WIN this beautiful Beige Chinoiserie Scene Lamp from 



 after participating in a raffle from the awesome blog...




I love it so much and have gotten so many compliments on it already!
There's so much more beautiful items available at The Enchanted Home Online Shop, from porcelain to silver, all their items are well-curated and all equally exquisite, you should check it out HERE soon!


Console vignette

Check out our thriving Fiddle leaf figs too!

Just beautiful
My mother-in-law pruned the tips last winter and look at all the new branches and leaves that have sprouted! They are just a joy, eliminating my 'black thumb curse' hopefully once and for all! ;-)

Our simple mantel

Doses of Blue and white in the media center as well

Our simple entry displaying my Cricket Box collection now
There you have it folks!
Hope I didn't bore you with all the details. 

This will also be probably the last time I get to use our old coffee table for a while since we will be switching to an ottoman soon! Thank you for all your suggestions on our Ottoman Search, it was truly a tough choice, but my hubs and I made the decision already and will explain and show you the 'winner' in the next week or so!

Hope your having a jolly Summer day!

  1. As always, Vel - your room is stunning! There are so many layers of perfection and the colors...beautiful. So sophisticated, but it still has a charming, homey feel. I think it's a good call to switch to a softer ottoman while Sophia is a toddler. It's such a short time and who knows, you might end up liking the ottoman more than the coffee table. Have a great week! Jane

    All your vignettes are lovely, specially the artwork in the piano, also in B&W.
    B&W is great for any season.

  15. Your touches of blue and white are lovely. The green leaves of the plants add wonderful punches of color and that comfortable feel to your living room. Your room is lovely, your sofa is the style I am looking for. The low tract arms and squared off loose cushions are a great look for this room. What is the name of the wall color, it looks very similar to SW's Kilim Beige (I have in my living room).
