Not to sound like a broken record, but I have to agree with all the folks who liked the before better. It was such a beautiful original piece. I'm all for repurposing old pieces but I feel like the inherent beauty of the piece should always be brought out if you're going to do that, and I'm not sure if that happened here.

I know alot of folks don't like the stark contrast between the front and the back of the home, but I think you did such a beautiful job of merging the two styles through your lighting choices. The chandelier in the entry way tells me that this is no vintage home, that there are going to be surprises around the corner. The pendant lights, the red chandelier, all of them, for me, bring the entire space together. I really like it.

I love this home. It is cheery, family friendly and adorable. I absolutely love the mix of pieces and fabrics. Nothing is matchy matchy, so you can find cool pieces at thrift stores or wherever and bring them home. It would just add more interest.
