And last but certainly not least...Our living room! I must start out by saying a sincere thank you for all of the syrupy sweet comments about our apartment this week. I am blushing and feeling even more grateful for this little corner of the world we call our home! I can't help but dream about someday having a more matchy-matchy kitchen, or getting nicer furniture, or learning how to master the art of window treatments....But for now, I'm happy right where we are. Of course that's not to say I won't stop trying to chanel my inner decorator--repainting, rearranging, and perusing the home section at Marshall's. ;) And there won't be anything more liberating than one day calling Goodwill to come, take our slipcovered beastess of a 1970s pea-green couch away.
This sideboard belonged to the same great-grandma as the kitchen table. (What great taste in furniture!) I also refinished it with my dad after discovering it in our attic with some warped water damage on the top. You know, I will always cherish my memories of times spent restoring furniture with my dad. It was sometimes tough to compete for his attention growing up with 4 brothers who could spend entire weekends bonding with him under the car hood or at the batting cage. Anyway, back to the sideboard buffet: it is 100% necessary for storing all of those beautiful, fragile wedding gifts that don't get used enough (i.e. candlesticks, crystal serving platters, extra wine glasses, extra silverware).

3. I am also a fresh flower addict and have no trouble buying myself bouquets! Currently I have red gerbera daisies and some spiky pink things!

Thanks for visiting me! Can I just say....I love your IKEA floral pillows. I have the "first edition" of those pillows and two of the matching lamp shades in my living room. They are so colorful and cheery. I can understand your attraction to the red ticking curtains...very cute. Your home has such a lovely quality to it...light and peaceful and cheery. I'd love to do a home tour of my place but it is never clean enough!
Okay, I must have missed some rooms because I was going back and perusing your lovely home and saw your bedroom, bathroom, french doors etc. All lovely. We are redoing our bedroom and I just recently put up the same curtains that you have on your french doors. I love the sunlight coming through them...so pretty. Just had to comment on your good taste! :)
Your apartment is darling - so warm and inviting....
And, for what it is worth I think you curtins look great!

So lovely Jessica. Thank you for having all of us for the week. It's been a lot of fun. I love how you have the bookcases arranged and the big picture of you and Jeff is so sweet. You have a very warm and inviting home. You should be very proud of it.

Your home is what I want mine to be!!! I love every detail, seriously! The bay window seat, the bookshelves with black-and-white photographs, it's perfect!
