Many exciting things have been happening in our new house lately. We finished laying all of our new flooring last night (more on that later) and almost the entire house is painted.
Now that all of the hard work is done, we get to do the fun part.... decorating! I have put together a few ideas for our front room. I want to create a space that is comfortable, artsy and eclectic so I am taking inspiration from the artwork that will be placed on the walls in that room.

For many years we hummed and hawed over three incredible Tour de France prints by Toti. David and I are major cycling fans and we fell in love with the prints but we were not sure if we could afford them. After a couple years of saving, we took the plunge and bought them. They then sat in the gallery for another year while we saved up to frame them. We finally got them framed and brought them home.... but we had no wall space to put them up. So after years of waiting we finally have room for them!
Jake, our framer, is coming to put them up on Thursday for us (they are huge, each one is almost 3 x 5 feet!) and then the decorating begins. We kept our walls neutral grey and our floors nice and dark so we have the perfect pallet to start with. I want to introduce mid-century modern pieces like a couple of great chairs and a fantastic couch. I will then bring the whole thing together by adding a hand painted patterned rug and homemade statement throw pillows. It will be a lot of work but it is completely worth it.
For now I am on a mission to find furniture that fits the bill and some great patterned fabric to work with.
