our house
As promised in this post, I have framed and hung some of my new artwork. I sat on the steps in our front hallway to take this picture. I love the stair banisters in our house and wanted to include it. The "Our House" print fits right into the front hall. A few years ago I painted the bottom 4 ft. or so (including going up the stairs) in a subtle "washed" paint look. It does a really good job of hiding hand prints and other marks that find their way onto the walls. This picture also includes a peek into our living room. You can see the new "coffee" walls and my two new orange sofas (scored one at Macy's floor sample clearance and got the other delivered from the warehouse at the same price). They marked my sales ticket at Macy's as a "fly by" purchase. You can also see that my console tables are not there yet...finishing a room is a long, frustrating process around here.
the couch looks wonderful. great score!

As I looked at the picture and before I read your post, I thought to myself, "Wow, I really love that banister." Beautiful!

I love the painting, it looks great there! And the sofas fit perfectly into the space, you should fly by and purchase more often!

Julie-
I just love your picture. I think I must have one. I find I am drawn more and more to graphic type of artwork. I love the way that piece looks in your room. Perfection!

Beautiful photo and beautiful house. I love the painted "chair rail." Now that's a terrific idea! And the banister is exquisite.

Hey Julie, oh it has been too long since I've popped by. I love it here, I need to be more regular in my visits.
I always love your house so I was thrilled to scroll down and find a new picture! I love your railings, love love love. And I have just bought an orange chaise for a client so I was thrilled to see how lovely your orange furniture looks!
And of course, your artwork is great! Everything looks so pulled together and finished. Love it!
Happy day!
