Now:
And Then. . .
What makes me cringe when I look back:
SO MANY PILLOWS..I SIMPLIFIED THIS BED BETWEEN THIS PHOTO AND THE LAST BECAUSE I LOVED THE GUINEVERE PATTERN BUT IT FINALLY HAD TO GO..
What I love most about my home now:
IT FEELS LIGHTER AND SIMPLER, MORE SOOTHING, I THOUGHT THE DARK COLORS AND MULTIPLE PRINTS AND PILLOWS WERE COZY BUT AT THIS STAGE IN LIFE KIDS AND MORE WORK AND CLUTTER, LESS IS MORE AND I LOVE THE SIMPLER AND CLEAN (FOR ME) NEW LOOK.
The biggest influence on my evolving style has been:
MY ALL TIME BIGGEST INFLUENCE IS THE MOVIE “OUT OF AFRICA” WITH THE BRITISH COLONIAL, COLLECTED AND SOMEWHAT SHABBY STYLE. LATELY, OF COURSE, BLOGS ARE A HUGE INFLUENCE AND HAVE HELPED ME FRESHEN MY STYLE WITH A TOUCH OF MODERN AND CLEAN. MY FAMILY AND THE WAY WE LIVE WITH SMALL CHILDREN IS ALSO A HUGE INFLUENCE.

Oh good gracious, Emily. I know I saw this all the time, but I LOVE this series. So fun - it is because I'm nosey?? :) Anyway, love Holly's style and love the fact that she didn't hide that pack-n-play in the corner. She's a real person! :) Thanks for the Friday fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a difference. This is such a great series Emily. Holly's style has definitely evolved. I love the light, soft style of her bedroom now.
ReplyDeleteOMG...looks so much better now...that sure is a lot of pillows butyou are brave to share with it with all of us.
ReplyDeleteLove her blog and love her...especially because she left the pack-n-play out. Real woman, real life.
ReplyDeleteI love the new room! It does look so light and comfy. The only thing that I don't like is the three plates above the bed. Love the bedding and headboard! Really wonderful room!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! The bed looks gorgeous! Have a delightful weekend, Kellie xx

Love! I couldn't help but notice the artwork on the walls behind Holly's picture. Are those stacked antique enamalware pie tins that are framed? Genius.
