This home is actually a condo which works for us on so many levels....more on that later. It has 2 bedrooms on the first floor and 1 on the second, 3 bathrooms, a study, an open living/dining room, a kitchen and a second floor family room that will be my art and craft studio. Great space when we're here full time on down the road....and plenty of room to spread out and share now.
I believe every decorating project needs an inspiration piece. It can be anything...a piece of art, a swatch of fabric, or even a greeting card. My inspiration for this home is this rug. It's called "Paint Chips" by Dash and Albert and I couldn't love it more!As you come in the front door there's a bit of a hallway and I think this splash of color says "welcome!"
Aren't these colors just yummy!
The hallways leads into a very large room with beautiful hickory floors. The front part is the dining room....the back the living room. We inherited insulated window quilts which I think we'll keep...but I'll have to come up with window treatments to hide the rollers. A new dining room fixture is one of the first things on the list to shop for.
In the back left corner of the living room by the sliding doors is a study. I love that this home has lots of nooks and living spaces....one of the reasons we fell in love with it.
The cherished "blue chair" was the last thing to move out of the South Portland house and the first thing to come here. Paul is staying up here until the movers come...he has the blue chair and an aero bed...he'll be fine.
You can read the whole story of the blue chair here: http://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-blue-chair.html
There will be a lot more to come as I turn this blank canvas into a home....the perfect puttering project! It will take some time...but that's part of the fun.
