Laurie's House

Laurie is a friend I met through HGTV's Rate My Space. She lives with her husband and children on a horse farm in California, in a beautiful farmhouse they built themselves. Her decorating has been an ongoing process. Over the past year, she has sewn curtains and arranged accessories; her husband has built window seats and hung molding. When I asked for some pictures of her favorite decorating details, Laurie was kind enough to send me these. I know you will enjoy them as much as I have.

Family Room

Dining Room

Laurie painted the hutch and sewed the curtains. The three stacked botanical prints are 200 years old.

100-yr. old transferware tureen

Laurie and her husband built the window bench themselves. The tea cart below belonged to Laurie's mother and the tea set to her grandmother.

Foyer

Laurie's favorite French peasant lamps. In case of emergency, she says she would save these first, after her kids, of course!

A Favorite Spot

The chalkware plaques belonged to Laurie's great grandmother.

Stairwell

A kid's corner chair from the early 1900's.
