Julie’s Living Room: Happy Punches of Color

 

Julie was my very first online decorating client when I started blogging and has become a good online buddy.  She recently sent me new pictures of her family room.  I feel like I’ve known this room since it was a baby, and it’s been fun to watch it change.  She originally started with more autumnal colors, but has updated it with a brighter palette since we first worked together.  She has a great eye, and I love the mix of patterns she used. 

(And, as my disclaimer. . . I had little to nothing to do with this beautiful space.  I’m flattered she originally asked for my help almost two years ago, but she has made all of the newer changes on her own and obviously needed very little help from me!)

Enjoy!

  5. I love what she's done to her room.
    My space is layed out like hers.
    Corner fireplace, TV stand next to it, a couch perpendicular to the TV, a chair in the corner. I don't have a second couch but seeing the way she has her room layed out has made me realize maybe I could add additional seating.

  6. My favorite element is the mix of patterns in the throw pillows and the turquoise table lamp.

  15. Ooh, love the colors! I have the same chiang mai pillows on a caramel leather couch and similar color choices in accent colors. I'm contemplating adding a cowhide rug under the coffee table/couch area which tends to get more foot traffic. I already have off white carpeting in the room, but that area always seems prone to getting dingy because of repeat foot traffic.

    At first I thought the cowhide design might make the area look too busy, but I have fewer patterned pillows than your friend does so perhaps it might work after all. Especially if I select a hide with a more subtle overall pattern on a lighter background. Thanks for the inspiration, these photos are great.

  33. Emily---thank you so much for the sweet post. I adore you and your design skills and am constantly inspired by all you create!

    To answer some questions, the pillows on the sofa can all be found on etsy by searching(betwixt, chiang mai). I had the middle lumbar pillow made from a David Hicks fabric that can be found here (it is brown):

    The rug is by Jill Rosenwald, and is called fallon and can be found here http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/surya-fal/brown/158FAL1000-203.html

    The sofas, which are great--very durable and made of high quailty materials are made by vangogh designs http://www.vangoghdesigns.com/index.php?page=product-list&category=4
