I remember your room :). Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Wonderful job. Really love it!

One tiny thing. I love the floor vase but it might feel simpler in the room, not thinking it's necessary there. Maybe if it were on the island instead. Just a tiny tweak. Absolutely beautiful rooms!!!!

I especially like how you mounted the window drapes. Perfect application for the room and the window configurations!. Great choice to warm the room and add the finishing touch!!!

bellevue2, I'd give you carte blanche to decorate my entire house! This is just gorgeous!

Really spectacular well thought out interior. Did you locally source the artwork or would able to find it on line?

The art work I took a risk on....I sourced the artist thru Etsy! Her name is Andrada out of Montreal, Canada. I sent her all my pillow fabric samples along with paint, wood and surround tile samples. I knew I wanted 3 panels, so she asked me to send her a photo of the room and wall. She then photo shopped the panel sizes into my room image and asked me to corner mark the measurement on the wall with painters tape and resend an image to be 100% sure the size was correct. I already knew the style of art work I was interested in and she began to paint it. Before she finished she again photo shopped the painted panels into my room image and asked if I wanted anything different before she shipped. She made a few adjustments I requested and she shipped samples and art to me. Here in the Pacific Northwest this would have easily cost thousands.....my cost was in the $900's including shipping. She nailed it and I'm thrilled with it! Her work can be seen online and throughout the US in various places. Now my husband will be a little less angry next time my tastes change again! LOL!

Kudos!!

I absolute love yellow and, while I'm not a fan of grey, somehow, when combined with yellow, the combo brings out the best of both. In your initial photo, all I could see were those gorgeous pillows. I'm so glad you worked your room around them. I wish everyone on Houzz would look at your room and see that adding color to your beige rooms isn't a risk but a beautiful reward. You've accessories the kitchen beautifully too. The only thing I would ever consider would be adding a tall thin lamp to the table between the 2 chairs. But that's only consider. If you don't want a lamp in that area, then all is well. I hope you don't mind but I did save a copy of your LR pic for inspiration. I wouldn't dream of copying the artist but I would like to reference the colors and graphic curtains if I ever redo my LR.

Thank you for the kind words!

Your room is gorgeous! Really love how everything is turning out. It's elegant and sophisticated, without being over the top as some places in Bellevue are known for :) I believe I might be your "neighbor" (I gather you're in Bellevue, WA)?

I think you're on the right path re: changing the light fixtures above the island. The existing ones are not doing much for your (wonderful) kitchen.

Did you have your curtains custom made? Would you please give me the info on the workroom? Are you happy with them? The person who I knew retired and I'm looking for someone else who does quality work.

I love what you did with this room, especially those perfect window treatments. It is beautiful. I hope I can learn how to pull elements together like this for my home.

@soosun2 WOW! Thank you for the kind words and keen observations!

I am still working on this house room by room and take great pains to make decisions on pieces as I go. I have a passion for it without a profession I always say. :) One thing that has helped me is to take images as I go, then go back and look at them...I sometimes find things I may have missed with the naked eye or see something that inspires me in a different direction. I have also taught myself how to Photoshop items into images of my own room in order to get a proper idea of how it may look before I make a final decision.

There are days I look into an unfinished room and wish I could hurry it along and other days when I know that will only create regret.

To answer your question; I do order online and have had good luck with it. I have found prices for the same item all over the board so it pays to do your research on that as well. Always without shipping or tax whenever possible. It has proven to be a more cost effective way to shop many times.

Have fun this winter with your home!

I think the living room is perfectly executed as is the rest of the great room.....I have a set up similar to this configuration and it is so amenable to many different floor plans.

Thanks for all the info on your process. I must needs learn photoshop and a whole host of other things on the computer....thanks for the heads up reminders. Looking forward to seeing the other rooms as they come up.

Thanks again. Love the photo shot idea of the room for seeing balance and anything amiss. I read somewhere that when you are staging your home for resale taking pics as you go allows you to see the room as others will see it warts and all. haha.

PS Our daughter lives in Lynnwood, WA and they are in the process of flipping their second house while her Hubs is finishing his Ph. D. at UWSeattle. Love Bellevue area!
