I was going through my old picture files the other day and ran across a picture of my dining & living room area. WOW have they come a long way. Its always been fun to look back at our old hair styles and clothes-but we forget our home "ages" too. And hopefully for the better!

ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!! I love the bright colors! And that rug in the living room is a stunner!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love the curtain rods in your living room. Where did you get them from?
ReplyDeleteWow, Amanda, what changes these are! The new look is fantastic. I'm sure we'll be looking back in 10 years & complain about what is IN now too though, it's just the nature of design. :) You're so talented!
ReplyDeleteYour house is SO beautiful! It's crazy to see how much things change
ReplyDeleteWow. Your style has really evolved and matured. I can only echo the other is stating the obvious, your home is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the before. I like how you have brought a lightness and brightness and flow between the rooms. Its nice to see how your style has evolved and changed over time. I love the latest version, but I'm sure you aren't done and will bring more change with time. That's what makes design so fun. I never feel like I'm ever "done."
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much we change our style. I love your home so much, and I am so glad you love sharing it!!
ReplyDeleteBoth rooms are so gorgeous!! They serve as wonderful inspiration for me as I am putting together rooms in our new house. I just love your style!!
ReplyDeleteI do believe I had the exact picture and candle ensemble above my couch but my couch was a very lovely mint green stripe (yeek). Your style has changed for the better, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWowzadoodle! I love the light fixture in your dining room! Everything is so light and cheery!
