On my weekly Happy Homemaker posts I have been saying I was I really needing to change up the downstairs decor for early summer... I finally took it to task this morning.
We live in an English Tudor home and the decor for most of the year is rather dark and heavy in keeping with the style.. I was determined to start lightening it up last fall when we took down a tapestry that had hung over the fireplace for some years...I had loved it, but it was time for a change!!!
I got along with the dark fabrics until this summer and I kept thinking what am I going to do... I couldn't find the right kind of seat covers for our crook arm chairs so I took a much simpler route!
A few years ago we recovered the sofa to a white damask... and I love it... I may start redoing the chairs into a lighter color... but anyway, I have 2 great white throws which came in particularly handy for my new project!
Coming down the stairs I was thinking adding the white had made a great difference,, and in the back of my mind I was thinking, "hmm, time to be looking for some upholstery fabric for the wingback!!!"
I know we have a room full of furniture, but we also host a morning prayer group here, so the seating is necessary!
I love the robin's egg blue accents so it carried on to the dining room!!! I have several sets of dishes I can change up with this table decor! I fell in love with the table runner at Home Goods this spring!
I will plan a dining experience around the table for Thursday's post!
At any rate it really gives me a lift to change things up and possible be ready for whatever might come along in the hosting department... I do need to reciprocate a summer meal soon!
All your arrangement looks amazing. Wonderful combination of colors:)
