The living room has a few changes and is going to get a few more. I was so enchanted with Betsy's house that I came home and started playing around. I made two new pillows out of fabric I had in my workroom and added an apple-green toile quilt over the back of the sofa. The mirror came back with a greyed out paint job and my favorite old dishes got a starring role over it.
The ruffles are back too...its easier with the dogs, less to wash.
This bamboo table I recently picked up at a sidewalk sale and it was intended to go to my son's college apartment. Searching the house for a better end table, I spotted it and decided I like it here just fine.
These seashell vases from Etsy are a bit of tramp art, and I think they are so sweet.
An old romantic lamp in powder blue with a floral motif was found on Etsy too.
The blue lamp looks perfect with the blue chintz fabric.
I fiddled around with a few other areas too~I'll share them next time!

Wow! The painted mirror and the hand painted china plates over the sofa are simply stunning. It's your perfect touch.
Love your changes, the apple green coverlet really adds a sweet pop of color!
I LOVE the plates around the mirror!
Your room is so pretty and I love the new pillows and colors. The mirror is stunning and the plates are just perfect. I think the little bamboo table is just the perfect piece. Gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
I love that bamboo table. Love the dishes above the mirror too. I like that mirror in the space no matter what Betsy says. And I do love the ruffles on the sofa...especially because of dogs. New pillows are pretty. Lots of good stuff.
Love the changes... very dreamy....

I really like the mirror over the sofa, the height is good, and love the arc of plates over it. What is interesting is that little bamboo table, i wouldn't think i'd like it but i do. Something about that little table is really appealing in the space... i think because it's rustic, but i'm not sure... i never really noticed the basket, it's wonderful...

The pretty green quilt on your sofa is a nice addition of color and something that is so easy to change when the mood strikes you. I think I have some of that pillow fabric...love it!

So pretty, Amy! You find such fun, unique pieces that make your home beautiful! I need to learn how to "whip up" pillows!
The first thing I noticed was the blanket. Love that colour and it's so pretty and fresh in that room! I was wondering how many of the changes Betsy made would stay in place...

That looks so beautiful!!!
Amy, it looks great. I'm so glad you brought the ruffled slipcover back. I think it is perfect in your room. I love the seashell vases, too.

Hi Amy,
Your room is absolutely darling! I love it!!! The ruffles on the sofa, did you make it? It gives it such a sweet look. The lamp and vases look as though they were made just for that room. Everything looks so inviting!
Nice touch painting the mirror, LOVE IT! Such a pretty, restful room!
I love the pop of apple green from the toile quilt, it looks so pretty as always, I love the lamp too!
I love your taste and the apple green is a great addition.
Hi Amy! I see you found a use for your pink damask fabric like the one I am using for my client's nursery ;) The pillows look great!
