dear lillie house tour

I'm so excited to share this amazing house. It belongs to Jennifer from Dear Lillie. Her style is so classic, beautiful, and consistent throughout her home. I really love that, it makes every room seem like it belongs in the same house. She uses neutrals almost exclusively, making it really easy to switch out seasonal accents and change things up in little ways.

Let's begin in the living room... 

Jennifer made the beautiful script pillows and the skirted ottoman. It was a typical yucky pleather ottoman before, and now it is beautiful and fits in perfectly. The sofa faces the window and the mirrored dresser (LOVE) from the first picture.

Here is the living room all gussied up for Valentine's Day. I love the little pops of pink and otherwise neutral holiday decor. I think it keeps it from getting to girly or cheesy or out of place.

Jennifer recently completed this beautiful nursery for her soon-to-arrive second daughter. She took some cues from the Jones Design Company nursery, but totally made it her own. I bet it will be nice to have such a calm, beautiful space to be in when the baby is up at all hours!

Soon-to-be big sister, Lillie, got a new room of her own as well. What little girl wouldn't just die over this room? Any room with a crystal chandelier is good in my book. I love the silhouette and rick-rack pillows (which Jennifer made).  The little space created by the curtains framing the window seat is like a little secret hideaway.

This is their master bedroom--the left is how it looks normally and the right is dressed up for Christmas. I love the dark charcoal paint... I bet it makes the Mister feel much more at home in an otherwise pretty feminine space. Perfect balance.

And finally, the little nook that had me at hello. Is it weird to love a bathroom vanity area so much? What I wouldn't give for that mirror. It is perfect. I love the addition of a lamp--it makes it feel more like a special get-ready space.

Tour: The Wright House

I stumbled upon the blog and beautiful home of photographer Natalie Wright this week, and you'll be happy I did! Her house is full of good ideas and a lot of fun DIY stuff.

Let's begin at the front entry...

This entry vignette has basically everything I love--neutrals, gold, nature, and interesting furniture. Natalie has created cool little vignettes all over her house. Love them.

How cool is the chalkboard? And the totally indestructible painted concrete floor?

 These two little spaces are probably my favorite images from Natalie's home.

You know that awkward nook cutout by the stairs? Not awkward at the Wright house. No dusty faux ivy on this ledge. (thank you!)

LOVE the mirrored sideboard. Like REALLY love it. 

And Natalie clearly had more luck with her chevron painting skills than I did!

Ahhhh, to have such organized kitchen cabinets! The labels are beautiful and so functional, and I love the idea of handing measuring cups and spoons inside the door. Such a good use of space.

This vintage mail sorter is just perfect for the collection of vintage cameras.

Perfect laundry/mud room. The wainscoting, the whitewashed floors, the curtain ties, and that door. 

The re-purposed old window hides the breaker box? This is genius.

Check out the rest of Natalie's house, before-and-afters of her projects, and her beautiful photography at The Wright House and Middle Gray Photography!
