If You Give A Girl Some Pillows

It seems as though 2012 is the year of the cleanse... At least that is the case in the CDJ household.  Last week was the "physical cleanse" and this past weekend was the "home cleanse."  It all started with two inexpensive Target pillows and resulted in the rearrangement and reorganization of 3 rooms.  I suppose stripping the halls of Christmas decorations was a catalyst as well.

I am loving the new floor plan of my family room, because there is more floor space for the boys.  Plus, I love switching up furniture from different rooms.

Please excuse the stains on the sofa, but that's what you get with kids.

This is a Craig's list chest I painted and my HomeGoods Ralph Lauren Lamp.

I have such respect and admiration for good photographers, especially those who photograph interiors.  Even with a fancy camera I can't get the light or angle right...

Cheers!

Afternoon Snack: Built-Ins

These double-sided built-ins, by Mallory Mathison, make the perfect doorway.  The living room and dining room are separated, yet there is a unity to the two spaces.  In the living room, the shelves are open to the floor, allowing the homeowner to display collectibles and books.  On the reverse side, the bottom half, comprised of drawers and cabinets, provide additional storage. 

You can take a tour of the entire house on the Southern Living website.  Click HERE

Get to bed early tonight; we've got a big day tomorrow.  Happy Royal Wedding to you all!

Cheers!
