About This Space

I hope I have created a welcoming space. I wanted my children to feel comfortable there, but I also wanted to feel that it looked "dressed". For me, it is a calm space that I can update and change easily with new pillows, and perhaps by recovering the wing backs and changing the carpet. It is neutral but not boring.

It is great. Comfortable and inviting, and I love a BIG coffee table if you have the room...and you do!
