In reply to Martha Woods. Oh I totally agree!! We have noticed that about some neighbours windows- hopefully ours will be a bit more consistent :)

In regards to your drape/curtain reference. I have no suggestions but I do have one rule that I’ve known all my adult life. Don’t just look at your window treatment selection from inside a room – – look at the outside look. Like so many “rules” in decorating, times change and many “don’t does” become “does”. This one has never changed for me. Consistency from the outside makes all the difference in your exterior view whether it is all the same lining or color or shutters or blinds. If you have never heard this before, you will regret my sharing because you will never be able to view a house from the outside again in the same way. – – – Sorry

In reply to Shawnda. Thanks so much Shawnda! I have thought about adding a drapery liner. for now we've swapped them out for some white ones my dad had sitting around and it's a refreshing change :)

You asked about the curtains. If you or a really helpful friend or family member sees, I would recommend the following: buy some Navy fabric dye and recolor the drapes. Then line them with “rain no stain” drapery liner from the fabric store. It provides a consistent look from outside (white) and has uv protectant to keep the fabric inside from fading. ? You have a beautiful home.

In reply to Dawn. Thank you so much Dawn! I don't know how some parents get away without toys in the living room! Maybe one day my kids will go for it- but until then- theses baskets sure help!

I am in love with the gray and blue living room. I love the kid proof couches. The storage for the toys is a must and I love how it is not a eye sore but part of the decor. Beautiful home!

In reply to Thalita. We have cork trivets with big bite marks out of them! What the heck is wrong with babies!? Haha! And thank you for the sweet comment, friend. XO

In reply to Joann. Ahh thanks so much for the feedback Joan! I am totally sold on the two chairs, the curtains are going to take some convincing of the hubs ;)

Note to self: buy acrylic tray at Dollar Store. I feel you on the no table styling. Everything has to be up high over here, and the wicker tray I had on the table just won’t cut it because the boys like to eat them (so weird). Your house is honest to goodness gorgeous, and I love that it’s so YOU!!!

Your home is so pretty! I love the artwork above the fireplace and the beautifully styled shelves beside it. I say go for the velour curtains and definitely two chairs.
