When I met with my designers from Hovie Interiors, I told them that I wanted a space that people never wanted to leave. I want my guests to feel like they can kick off their shoes, pour a glass of wine and sit for hours. I have a thing for The Redbury in LA and love how they mix patterns and textures to create an unexpected yet cozy feel. And of course, it had to be practical too with three little ones running around.
They went BEYOND all expectations with what they put together. I think they may have gone into my mind and pulled everything I love out. I already shared with you the chandelier, which was the first purchase and kicked off what was such a great experience. Here is a look and what we did.

We are still looking for the perfect light to hang in the family room and need to order the bench for behind the couch but it feels amazing to have two rooms done in the house! What's next? This lovely room.
Our living room as been sitting empty since we moved in and I cannot wait to fill it, though we will be taking a breather for a little bit (keeping the hubby happy is a must). Our designers already have so many fun ideas though! Slowly but surely, this house is becoming a home. In the meantime, I am thinking I should take advantage of the open space and throw a party, this being the dance room. DJ in the corner and a dance floor to protect the wood. Wouldn't that be perfect?!
P.S. Taking photos of rooms is SO hard! I have a lot of respect for all home magazines now.
