As I promised last week<\/a>, today I am giving you a little tour of our great room.\u00a0 This is the room that sees it all.\u00a0 We really live in there.\u00a0 It’s where we watch television, read, entertain guests, take naps, and pass through on our way in and out of the house.\u00a0 It is filled with light and has a wonderful view of our courtyard.\u00a0 It is a real room lived in by real people and decorated by me.\u00a0 It is wonderful in every season.\u00a0 Right now it is all comfy with kilim pillows, a comfy fire, and a big old cashmere throw.\u00a0 Come take a look.<\/h3>\n

The thing I like most about this room is that it is neutral, and I can change out the pillows to freshen it up and add some color.\u00a0 Just by looking at the photo, you can guess what my least favorite thing is.\u00a0 Right…..it’s the darn television over the fireplace.\u00a0 However, I do plan to get it camouflaged this year.\u00a0 Stay tuned for that.\u00a0 Those big lanterns on each side are perfect for winter, and they help anchor the television.\u00a0 They just happen to have been part of our Christmas decor that work for more than one season.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0This is our view when we enter from the mudroom.\u00a0 By the way, I did not stage these photos.\u00a0 This is just a normal day in our house.<\/h3>\n

Right now I am using the kilim pillows that I bought on trips to Paris and Istanbul.\u00a0 They are getting popular.\u00a0 Using kilims is a great way to add some boho to our home for fun.\u00a0 Jordan and I bought the rug in Fez, Morocco when we were doing a big old bicycle trip in Africa.\u00a0 That trip was so harrowing for me, but the day that we were in Fez was one of my best days ever.<\/h3>\n

This is my favorite chair.\u00a0 It was custom made for Mr. Right.\u00a0 I might be getting it reupholstered this year because it has been sporting this fabric way longer than I want to admit.\u00a0 Usually in the winter I lean a pair of old wooden skis against the wall where you see the propeller, but right now they are in our sunroom.<\/h3>\n

This china cabinet became a book cabinet.\u00a0 I covered the back in removable wallpaper <\/a>to add color.\u00a0 I know the trend is against Federal style cherry furniture, but if it dates me, so be it.\u00a0 I love this piece which is by Henkel Harris.<\/h3>\n

I might add some colorful shades to those lamps that I bought at HomeGoods.\u00a0 I looked for over a year to find just the right lamps for that sideboard.\u00a0 I did both of the paintings.\u00a0 Read about the large one here<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Great<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0We eat here when we entertain, and I LOVE this table<\/a>.\u00a0 It has two extensions so it can seat 10 people comfortably and was a great price.\u00a0 I try to keep items on it that make it look like a library table.\u00a0 This photo makes me think it needs some more books.\u00a0 I bought the bench at HomeGoods and had it upholstered with a colorful fabric that I just am crazy about.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I still love the curtains from Country Curtains that we close when entertaining.\u00a0 They’re a great way to hide the kitchen<\/a> when we are seated at the table.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s the great room on a normal winter day.\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed the tour.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
