Whole House Style: Collectible Charm

Full of feminine charm and irresistible playfulness, this home manages to be traditional yet comfortable, and all because of a serious collection of cast-offs.

Hearth Setting

At the center of this living room is an elegant fireplace with architectural details made more prominent by a coat of glossy white paint. The mantel is an ever-changing display, currently featuring a 1930s portrait that reflects the relaxed femininity of the space.

Ideas from This Room
-- A playfully upholstered piece of furniture can (and should) become a focal point for the room.
-- Place a large tray over an ottoman to create a flat surface for display.
