Yeah!!!! finally have the living room put together to show you. It is still a work in progress with me changing things up in here but you can see how the living room is coming along.
 |
| I stayed with my neutral love. Dove grey, whites and a little cream. The wallpaper added a little yellow into the cottage style living room. |
 |
| I am so happy I had a wall big enough in this tiny home for the old farmhouse window I had in the old house. This is my favorite chippy piece. Peggy was assisting with this picture!! |
 |
| I took some old end tables my daughter had in her basement and painted them white and added old chippy door knobs to this door. You know how I love to recycle old things into new things! |
 |
| My chippy old arch window fit in this space perfectly. |
 |
| My bargain armoire I just re loved fits nicely in the living room space. |
 |
| My old french window found a place. |
 |
| My great grandmothers old cedar chest is now my coffee table in the new house. Back in the day when you got engaged to be married you would get a Lane cedar chest. Then you would use these cedar lined chests to add gifts, new linens etc. to bring into your marriage. This usually was the first piece of furniture you brought into your home after you were married too. |
 |
| So there is a peek at the new living room in Junk Chic Cottage III Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend. Hugs, Kris |

What a great job! It looks so peaceful. I have a question Kris. How does your husband like your style of decorating? Any complaints? Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Betty,
DeleteNo complaints. He is a trooper with my white femine decor. He does have the whole downstairs and his fireman cave so that gives him he style and space too. So it is a win win. I have this upstairs in my style and he has the downstairs in his style. Happy Friday.

Kris, The wall paper is so soft...it looks great with all your whites and neutrals. I love how you have make a small room look so much bigger with your "storage" pieces. I think night stands make great end tables too. I do love the cornices. You've been a busy lady. Blessings to you and Terry. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty. I love how you always make each room so pretty and inviting.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, you made the living room look so nice and I love all of the furniture you redid. You and the hubs do such a good job in your homes. I hope you love living there. Enjoy the day and weekend.

So Pretty Kris. Well done, I say. The armoire placing looks so good and really makes the entry look more pronounced. Everything is just beautiful and that window and shutters, I'm so glad you could use them. Peggy is too cute and the wallpaper is such a great touch of soft color..Happy Weekend..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteYour home is looking lovely. You must be so pleased to get to this stage. Congrats!!! Have a wonderful weekend Kris! xo
ReplyDeleteI adore the wallpaper Kris. It's soft and feminine and just adds another dimension to the neutral palette. Your architectural pieces fit perfectly too. Terry's obviously been busy ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it all xx
What a pretty living room, Kris! I love the wallpaper, it's beautiful and really anchors the room. And Miss Peggy coordinates nicely too!! Love your great grandmother's hope chest, it looks right at home:)
ReplyDeleteKris, It looks fantastic. You got a lot of oomph going on in that room. What it lacks in size you make up for in charm. You pulled it all together beautifully. Have the neighbors been peeking in your windows yet? I love that you put the wallpaper up on the one wall-it is just enough to be interesting without overpowering the space!
ReplyDeleteMiss Peggy makes me smile...I bet she is a love to live with. xo Diana
Your great grandmother's chest is a wonderful treasure and it fits perfectly in your living room, Kris. The room looks beautiful! What a cool idea to add an old door knob to the side table. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend!

I am thrilled. I've been waiting, as I'm sure the rest of your readers have been!
ReplyDeleteKRIS, it all looks amazing. You tied everything together so well, and I just wish you and Terry and Peggy the happiest of days, years together, in this darling house. I LOVE YOUR FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!!
I love it, it is perfect! Your chippy windows are wonderful. You have placed everything so beautifully. You go girl!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you, Kris. You truly have made a cottage of your home. THis room looks terrific, and I am loving the accent wall with the hint of color. Very pretty. Peggy was looking at you like, "What are doing? Are you standing on the couch taking a picture? Does this mean I can stand on the couch too?" lol Have a great weekend. No lollygagging in the basement - just work, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty, with so many wonderful pieces to look at. You've done a wonderful job with cottage #3.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall ~ FlowerLady
Your living room looks oh so cozy filled with your chippy white treasures, Kris! I love your cottage style wallpaper and I'm so glad that your most cherished pieces found a place in your charming new home.

Kris everything is so lovely. The wall paper adds so much to the beauty of the living room. I bet you just love to walk in and see just how beautiful it looks and know that you are here for good!
ReplyDeletexoxo Jo
It is lovely Kris! I am glad you were able to use your amazing pieces!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you found spots for your favorites.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm so happy for Terry to be back and work and the two of you resettled in a home.
Kris- it's so perfectly YOU! It's cheerful and bright and whimsical and awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you were to able to re-use so many treasured items, too. That's always such a plus!
You've put your stamp on it for sure. Well done, ma'am. Hugs. ♥
Oh Kris, I knew it would be beautiful and it IS! I'm so glad you were able to incorporate so many special pieces. A job well done! And how cute is Miss Peggy helping out!
ReplyDeleteLove the wallpaper.....details on your source?
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel,
DeleteIf you are asking about the wallpaper I got it in a wallpaper wholesale shop near my home. There was no information on it. They have what they have in the bins and when it is sold it is gone. So I am not sure how old or what brand this even is. So sorry. I just liked it when I saw it and thought it would be perfect for this wall.
Sorry I cannot be of any more help.
Kris
Very nice and peaceful I love it
ReplyDeletenelly
Looks amazing, Kris and the pretty wallpaper is the perfect backdrop for your chippy pieces. So nice to see you are FINALLY getting settled in Cottage III.
ReplyDeletePerfectly serene and enchanting. You're the zen master of decorating!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet and cottagey !!!
ReplyDeleteI think I smell another magazine feature! This is absolutely gorgeous. How you keep coming up with fresh and unique ideas in each house is beyond me. You have a gift my friend.
ReplyDeleteThe whole room is beautiful Kris. Happy to see your favorite treasures are in the room. The room may be smaller but all the charm overshadows that. What a sweet and charming cottage you have.
ReplyDeleteLove what you have done with the living room! The wallpaper is so pretty and "cottagey". Miss Peggy looks right at home. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe living room looks wonderful. Love the wallpaper, it's so pretty and looks good. You have done a wonderful job on your new home. Miss Peggy, likes it also. I know you are loving your new home and I look forward to seeing all the rooms.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday.
Lots of hugs,
Mary
All week long, I was wondering... what is Kris doing today? How is her living room coming along? I could hardly wait to see!!! And what a reward to see it and how you've been able to bring in some of your favorite pieces from your original cottage! I do LOVE that wallpaper with the touch of yellow.. hard to tell it's yellow in the picture, but I remember seeing it awhile ago when you were asking us which one you should go for and I think most liked that wallpaper with the yellow. I do too.... it's all so fun and whimiscal and calming and lovely. We see it in the blink of an eye, but we have to realize how much work you've put into it. Love your style.. I don't think my hubby would go for almost all white.. I tried in this little house we moved to, but color keeps getting added back in.. he keeps buying pictures for the walls (that I don't just LOVE) or he'll buy a new (old) chair that is some color that doesn't match anything! I keep buying white or cream throws so I can toss them over the chairs! Have a great Sunday! Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! Your new living room looks lovely! I'm so happy that your favorite pieces have fit in beautifully! Look at cute little Peggy the photo bomber! She looks right at home. I really like how your chair and armoire create a little foyer by the front door! Everything is just perfect! So happy for you! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful with all your architectural pieces. Love your Great Grandmother's cedar chest and that you still have it. The cushion with the birds is sweet. Your floors are a nice contrast to the neutral colors. Coffee in the morning is a pleasant experience in this sweet room.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Kris, it's looks just like "you"! the wallpaper is perfect!
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteYour new living room is divine! All of your wall decorations seem to have found perfect places on your new walls! The Lane chest is a beautiful focal point. My grandmother gave me a Lane chest when I graduated from high school. I love it. Mine is dark pine....I do love your white one! Hope you are enjoying this beautiful
Space!
It is beautiful, Kris! I love the wallpaper; it adds such a sweet and romantic touch without being overwhelming. I'm so glad you've found places for your wonderfully chippy pieces. Peggy is the cutest assistant! :)
ReplyDeleteHugs

Amazing! I do love the look of the wallpaper.
ReplyDeleteDo you have your TV inside the armoire?
The room is so perfect for you...love the cedar chest...mine is too tall to use as a coffee table but I love that idea....so pretty
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous. I love the cedar chest, all your wonderful windows and the re-loved armoire.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cozy and peaceful. Great job
