Wow - what a space. Love the art above the couches - large photos, I believe? And the fabric on those multi-colored chairs and ottoman - incredible. Very cool...

Looks fab - love the stencils, so creative! and the wood looks wonderful. I would, however, consider darker legs, the light color takes away from the wood, IMHO... great job!

Good gracious, not that herringbone. I am not a fan. Love it as is, but as always, do what you feel, it's your piece. Lovely find - I'm jealous!

wow - great tour. adore all the rugs, especially the bright pink one, the pillows on the chairs, the chandeliers - all have so much character, color and texture, and don't feel like they are "on trend." lots of personality - also, the colors on the walls are fabulous and work so well together. unexpected and wonderful.

kind of funny that i love so much of this place, but a few of the more contemporary art pieces - not so much. thanks for sharing though - great place.

My 3 year old loves gardening - but you'd have to have a lot of cash to spend $75 on Hunter boots for kids when they grow like weeds. We got some Melissa and Doug boots for about $16 and after 2 sets of Monster boots, we are now on their Firefighter boots. They have been a great purchase as they are his "outside" shoes and get can get them dirty and muddy and he knows to always kick them off when he comes inside.

What a great place - would have loved to have seen the outside.

All the color inside - just fantastic - the fireplaces, the wallpaper, the fab bathroom, the bright, unique kids rooms. I do wonder about all the plants in terra cotta with terra cotta saucers underneath - doesn't the water leak out or stain? I love how they look but am always worried about our plants staining whatever they rest on...

Thanks for sharing!

Congrats! Baby boys are a lot of fun - enjoy every minute. And great nursery - I would suggest perhaps the patterned IKEA curtains on both windows, it would tie the room together. Just a thought.

Adore those lace animal curtains - so neat! Where did you find them? Also, I grew up in Hillsdale, NJ, so I'm happy to see some Bergen County represented here!

I hate to be one of those people, but.... oh no no no, the before was beautiful! The after is way too busy. I would love to find a dresser like that in its before state. Nice CL find though - those drawer pulls are distinctive.
