Curl up with a good book...


Today I made some small changes to our living room sitting area.
We had these two chairs & ottomans in our smaller sitting room but wanting a little change I switched them with the vintage chairs for a different look.




The colour is showing a pinky hue but they are actually taupe. 











The picture below is one of my favourites in our collection.



A small change can make a world of difference... don't you agree?



Time to curl up with my book...
Thank you for stopping in.

Blessings,
Wanda

    1. Hello Rachel
      The wool carpet is from early 1920's and we purchased two large ones a number of years ago at an Estate sale. We had them cut and bound to the sizes we needed. They are even prettier in person..thanks for stopping in today.
      Hugs,
      Wanda

  6. A little change can make a world of difference - and isn't it fun?
    I see from your previous post that you are about to embarque on a house exchange in the Netherlands - I'll follow that with interest.
