Studio Makeover.

new look. well...sort of new.

I hadn't realized until I went to Love Affair that I never showed my finished studio! (done over a year ago...what was I thinking?)  So here it is...

I switched out some of the heavy, dark furniture for an Ikea yellow storage piece.

Installed the white Ikea flooring.

Bought a big wood farm table with history.

Got that ginormous Ikea light that falls into the middle of the room.

Added an Anthropologie pillow here and other random pillow finds there.

And...that's about it.  Not a lot of intense work (the floor DID take us three days to put in) or changes but it made a huge difference.

 

beautiful. LIFE.

Hey there Davina...
I know this might sound random, but 'thank you' for being 'Becky's' photographer for her blog! I have just come across her blog today - after the loss of her dear little "Missy"...and I am inspired by her and your gift to her! The photographs on her blog explain so much more to me (a sighted person). It makes me realise how fortunate I am. Thank you for sharing her and her family with us all!

Thank you everyone for your comments on my studio. I do love it and love how bright and happy it feels.

Brittan, the sofa is custom made and was designed after a beautiful piece I saw at Anthropologie about 4 years ago.

Angie,

The throw on the back of the couch is from Anthropologie. I bought it about 18 months ago.
