The HIGHLY Anticipated…Farmhouse Dwelling Room Reveal – Let’s Get Into It:) + LOOK! MOM! I’M ON YOUTUBE!


Welcome again for the large “reveal” day. Additionally, I’d prefer to formally rebrand the phrase “reveal” and as a substitute use “my-current-iteration-that-I-love-but also-might-change-because-a-house-is-a-living-breathing-soulful-space-full-of-family-kids-and-dogs-and-might-never-be-truly-done”. Extra importantly, (and significantly) I’ve an announcement: Y’all!!! We Are Displaying Off This Home On YOUTUBE!! That’s proper – we’ve got began to supply long-form non-spon movies documenting every room course of and reveal. We’ve got years of footage that we’re collating and modifying to inform the story of this home. I haven’t loved being in entrance of the digicam this a lot in a very long time. You see, in contrast to Tiktok, I like long-form storytelling the place I can discuss and discuss and discuss, particularly once I may be tremendous myself and clear (it’s my very own home, I’m paying for these movies so I’m in cost!!!). After wanting for a very long time, we discovered an amazing Portland-based video producer, Michael Raines, that obtained my vibe, introduced inventive course and expertise, and made it enjoyable from the primary second (that’s VERY vital to me as an Enneagram 7 like me). He additionally takes hilarious household and pet portraits within the Lloyd Middle Mall (coming to you quickly over Christmas). This one is our first official video and whereas we’re after all studying lots as we go, I actually prefer it:

So earlier than you have a look at this room “reveal” (or later if you’re at work) don’t neglect to look at the video – I had a lot enjoyable and I actually assume/hope you’ll get pleasure from it. We additionally did a shorter model (actually 1/thirtieth of the size) that can be on the finish of this submit as nicely (and a reel, and tales, and pins and Mal is making TikToks, a Thread, a tweet, YouTube shorts, FB submit, and potential IG lives – social media is tremendous simple you guys!!!!). However significantly I’m very, very excited so please watch it if you’re in any respect and in the event you do find yourself liking it go forward and smash that “like” and “subscribe” button 🙂

As a reminder, we’re in the lounge – the massive room in the midst of the home that at instances felt nearly too massive. If you’re simply catching up, both watch the YouTube video or learn the recap. It was a protracted journey to get right here so I’m excited to point out you the place we’re at in the present day.

It’s fairly darn inviting, snug, and comfortable. All our favourite gamers are right here – blue, inexperienced, wooden, a ton of classic that I’ve collected over time, and a heavy dose of texture and velvet. It isn’t precisely the “minimalist shaker” front room that I had espoused years in the past, however issues change of us 🙂

Sofas | Chandelier | Classic Articulating Sconce | Single Sconce | Throw Blanket

The 2 matching sofas (from Lulu and Georgia) are tremendous snug and deep (however not too deep), an amazing scale for the room, and bridge that hole between conventional and trendy. This angle exhibits the lighting so nicely – all domestically assembled by Rejuvenation – the ceiling mild actually helped heart/floor the dialog space (which appears odd because it’s on the ceiling however you get it). Then we mixed a classic articulating sconce over the eating nook with a extra conventional cloth shade sconce for excellent mild. On this shot, you’ll be able to see how the lounge interacts with the eating nook and kitchen – all of it works fairly darn nicely!! And people scenic doorways from Sierra Pacific – it’s such a dream (however we hold them closed on sizzling days clearly).

BTW – look how the Mantra wall colour (that slight pale blue) adjustments a lot! So usually it appears mild gray-blue, however right here it appears green-blue (dare I say Robins Egg?). Generally I believe it’s nearly good and different instances it feels just a little too inexperienced. However see under! Excellent!

Wall Shade | Trim Shade | Double Wall Sconce | Tall White Planter (unavailable) | Sideboard (classic) | Artwork (classic) | Black and White Planter (classic CB2:)) | Spindle Candles | Black Cone Candle (related) | Chair (classic + related) | Roman Shade | Outlet Cowl

Plenty of useless folks you acknowledge I’m certain (Sunroom reveal coming later). We’ve got this oil portrait from 1740 (how have I not named her but??) that I purchased at an vintage mall, the sideboard I purchased at Spherical High, my Cherner chairs that I’ll hoard without end, and a brand new plant that I’m shockingly conserving alive! Shout out to Drake’s 7 Dees on Scholls Ferry for having such a reasonably indoor plant choice.

You’ll discover that I did the curtains and the Roman shade on that facet in the identical cloth – however two completely different kinds along with the Japanese Boro shades. She is getting feisty in her 40s! (I really like the mix very a lot – and Decorview does such an extremely improbable job).

Drapes | Chair and Ottoman (classic + related) | Ball Pillow | Journal Rack (classic) | Ceramic Scultpure (classic) | Stool (classic) | Ceramic Wall Artwork (from Sara) | Summary Artwork

I believe my favourite space of the room is that this random little vignette or the eating nook – it simply feels a lot like me. I purchased that Papa Bear chair on-line from a “classic vendor” for method cheaper than most originals are (they run about $15k). I purchased it for underneath $3k pondering it was a steal after which discovered it all around the web for $1,500. SOOOO… However I nonetheless like this classic vendor lots (I don’t assume they had been attempting to rip-off me) so not less than I used to be supporting them and never a knockoff firm (she tells herself to make herself really feel higher). The artwork on the left by the curtains are two items of small pottery framed by one among my former EHD favorites Sara Ligorria-Tramp – a present that brings me a number of happiness each time I have a look at it. I miss you, Sara:) And I discovered a spot for that bizarre Victorian ball and stick journal holder! The MaryAnn Puls piece of artwork is on the appropriate and I LOVE it on this room – it marries all the colours.

Couch “Throw” (classic)

If you happen to’ve been following for some time (thanks) you’ll see so many issues that I’ve collected over time and it was so enjoyable to lastly type them in the home and make it really feel like residence. I don’t know which of those items I’d purchase once more if I noticed them with contemporary eyes (I believe all of them) – they’re simply kinda a part of me at this level and I really like them a lot. The blanket on the again of the couch is one other classic Japanese Boro quilt (I like the way it pops off the inexperienced) and that blue velvet chair from Soho Dwelling is superb.

Velvet Chair | Sqaure Pillow | Drink Desk | Rug | Wooden Facet Desk (classic) | Black Desk Lamp | Espresso Desk (customized) | Leather-based Wrapped Rock (related) | Ruffled Tray | Rust Vase (classic)

Essentially the most stunning espresso desk right here is in full view (learn this submit if you wish to see how we had it made). That tray is from Spartan Store (a splurge for certain, however essentially the most attractive ruffle tray on the planet by Dina No). The classic vase is from one among my favourite PDX sellers, Store Wilma (‘sup Annie), and what stack of books is full and not using a leather-wrapped rock?

Flooring Lamp | Log Holder (unavailable) | MCM Cupboard (classic) | Tiny Drawer Storage Piece (classic) | Black Vase

The Saturday earlier than the shoot I used to be finalizing each single room once I determined to rearrange every part. I put the electrical piano on the touchdown upstairs, put my primitive blue/grey sideboard the place the piano was, after which this wall was empty. I didn’t need one other floor to type or something too open and busy. So I went on Fb Market and located this mid-century trendy piece, requested the vendor if he may ship and inside two hours it was in my home. It wasn’t low-cost ($600) however I truly actually like it. As you may know, strong-lined Mid-century items are coming again and this teak wooden tone appears soo good in right here (particularly with the island close by). The highest tiny drawer state of affairs is separate – I simply threw it on there so as to add extra of a structured sculptural form. I gifted myself that Noguchi lamp after wanting it for 10 years. It makes me very joyful.

Throw Blanket

Right here you’ll be able to lastly see how the lounge, kitchen, and eating nook all work collectively (by way of that door is the household/TV room which can get revealed as soon as the journal is out!). The area works so nicely – I’m extraordinarily happy/relieved. It feels tremendous cozy and linked, however having the two-facing sofas makes it really feel separate in a extremely great way that I hadn’t predicted.

Scenic Doorways

Y’all – we introduced within the mild and opening it as much as the yard is heaven.

Sling Chair | Woman Portrait (classic) | Image Mild (unavailable ) | Plaid Bolster Pillows | Kava Bowl (classic) | Popcisle Stick Planter (classic + related) | Small Artwork on Mantel | Massive Artwork (classic) | Summary Picket Sculpture (classic) | Black Vase (classic) | Picket Scultpures (classic)

I didn’t need 1,000,000 pillows in right here so I looked for very lengthy bolsters – and y’all there are such a lot of nice ones available on the market proper now. These are from Schoolhouse and introduced in some quirk and sample. I had additionally purchased two lengthy fake leather-based ones from Goal that really regarded actually good, too, however these have a lot extra character (and are lots softer).

So how do I really feel about this room? Y’all, I’m not about to take a seat right here on a reveal day and decide aside my very own design. I really like every part in right here, AND on the similar time sure, I’ve some issues that I don’t really feel are working in addition to I believed they might. Is that potential? To like every part and but know that if tones had been tweaked or depth was added it will be higher? Positive! However that’s for one more day. I really love being in right here and I actually actually actually prefer it. I’m actually pleased with what we’ve executed and the way this appears (I’ll let you know my ideas quickly I promise, however not in the present day). At this time, nevertheless, we have a good time these earlier than and afters as a result of I really like and am grateful I’m residing on this tremendous snug, fairly, and comfortable room for some time earlier than I try any adjustments.
