Modern Cottage

Picture
My initial response was indeed a cottagey look. I wanted the desk in front of the window which made sense to balance out the room. And citrus complimented the rest of the greens I already had in my living room. But then further down the road I was shopping one day and saw this gorgeous red chair, which I didn't buy  at the time, but couldn't get out of my mind. I am guilty, the citrus-look bit the dust and suddenly red moved in. More modern cottage and it works.

There were two closets in the room, I turned one into a book shelve and the other one into a closet seat. Perfect for watching TV. The wall by the treadmill was bare so I bought a large canvas and painted it black and white with a red boat. The red binders and red pillow pull it all together. I think accents always seem to work better and down the road you can change them up for some other color. I hunted for a carpet with the right pattern and color and of course stopped at Lowe's and they had this one on sale and it was perfect for my office. Crazy but true.
