  2. It doesn't even compare! It is so cozy looking and you have the best accessories and furniture to really pull it together. Are those painted floors? There's so many things I like! I'll have to save it in my "dream files."

  3. How gorgeous! I love your slip covers. I have brown leather nail head living room furniture and am itching for something light and fresh like WHITE! I am thinking about slip covering them this summer...
    Great blog!

  8. Your room looks so peaceful. Love the slipcovers and what a great armoire! I have two boys and some people think I'm crazy for having the light slipcovers. I don't think they realize it's not bad at all. They are so easy to toss in the wash and then they are as good as new. I am really enjoying your blog. I am so excited to read each new post!

  16. I love how light the room looks and what a wonderful outlook you have Rie. Great accessorising too, not overdone just perfect! I'm guessing there's a guitar player in the family?

  21. Hi Rie,
    Have just called in for a visit for the first time from Marley and Lockyer. I have gone back to the start of your posts. Your home is gorgeous. You have done a wonderful job, not only on the inside but the outside of the house is gorgeous too. This type of house I dream about living in, lucky you!! You can never have too much white, I'm so crazy about white and linen, I think this look will never date and will always remain a classic. It must be a little difficult for you to leave, are you building or have you got your eye on another house?? Anyway will call in again soon.
    Take care

  23. This is a gorgeous room and looks so comfortable and out of a magazine. I love how the blinds don't go right to the top of the windows therefor always allowing a stream of sunshine - you have a gift!

  43. What a homely, welcoming living room. Just gorgeous!! x

  44. Hello Rie - it looks very calm and happy-inviting! I haven't yet read who the handsome (or pretty) creature is relaxing on the sofa. Upon closer inspection, am I am noticing the telltale signs of a somewhat-more-crinkly left-sided-cushion favorite spot-in-the-sun?

  47. Hi Rie
    I love your blog and discovered you through Dreamy Whites ... I wish we lived close enough to move into your home! Would you mind telling me where your couch is from? It looks slipcovered and I am in the market for one ... I've seen a few, just cannot decide on which. I love your living room; the first pic looks like it is a page out of a magazine.
    :)

  48. Rie, Thanks for getting back in touch. Alas, you are about an hour away from me : (. We used to live in that area many years ago, I really liked it. Your house has me ready to beg my hubby to move again...but I know we can't. You've done such a beautiful job decorating too, you should have no trouble selling...Good Luck.

    Take Care, Carrie

  49. Hi Rie,

    Found my way to your blog from Maria's lovely blog Dreamy Whites, which I accidentally happened to come across just a few minutes ago.

    I just LOVE your blog and all your inspiring photos!

    Will be back again :)

    Snowy and sunny greetings from The Netherlands!

  51. Your pillow cover is on sale at PB - perhaps a backup is in order!

  52. I love the new look. I wish my guy & I could make white slipcovers work. I will be writing a post about our inability sometime. We seem to have a way of spilling, leaving pens uncapped, and eating on the sofa as well. :P

I love hearing from you!
