My living room

 Its been awhile since I posted on my living room~
I have a new old coffee table now. 
Kind of like a tea table I guess~its tall
and its handpainted and very old and I love it!
 All kinds of little scenes and floral bits are
 painted freely around the top and the legs~
 The main color is blue, and its got that feminine french style that I love.
 Betsy Speert told me to put myneedlepoint stool underneath 
it as there was too much of a blank space there and she was so right!
 So this country table is my newest favorite thing~
 I don't add much anymore to the house as I am so
 busy with the store, so this little addition
 just made me all excited about the room again.
 This Paris Grey Mora reproduction was just finished and I told a customer I would 
photograph it so she could make a decision~
I decided to bring it home and show how it looks
in a fairly neutral setting~
 So here is the Paris Grey clock on my wall~
compare it to the pale Louis Blue one below.
 Hope that helps her make up her mind a little easier~
 Dillon is recovering from a torn ACL and he had serious surgery
 is now on the mend.  He loves to sit in front of the fireplace
 to warm himself. He is a darling and we
 have been nervous wrecks about him!
My living room with the new old table. Nice, huh?
PS~My walls are painted 
Benjamin Moore color #1515 Natural Elements
but its made up in the Valspar Signature paint formula from Lowes.

  1. Amy,
    What is the color and brand of the paint on the living room walls?

  2. I love that table. I love the formality of a tea height table for a coffee table. I like the grey clock in the room too. Dillon looks fantastic. I hope he is starting to feel better. Are you having a hard time keeping him still?

  5. I love the tea table, too!

    And as Amy knows, I asked her advice on wall color and I too went with "Natural Elements". I had mine done in Behr's Primer Plus at Home Depot and it is just a great color.

    I really *do* love that tea table!

  20. Hi Amy,
    I adore your new 'coffee table' and I love that it is refreshingly not the traditional height. I also see one of your mora clocks in the near future in my new home. One will look amazing in my new office/craft room.
    Love the living room, thanks for sharing!!

  28. Amy, loving your new old table. So beautiful. Also loving both the mora clocks in grey and blue. It would be a hard decision to chose between them. So sorry to hear Dillon had a torn ACL - wish him a speedy recovery. x

  30. The whole room looks fabulous! And I love your wall color... thanks for sharing the name. We're about to embark on a new rental house project and this is the color I'm looking for.

    Happy to hear your dog is on the mend... our dog broke her leg back in November and it's been a LONG process for healing... both the bone and the sore the cast caused. Lots of time spent in front of OUR fire!

    PS I've really enjoyed watching the progression of your shops too! Wish I lived closer.

  31. Love it! I love looking at your blog and living vicariously through you with your calm paint colors... my husband would never go for it so I have to enjoy yours. :)

  32. It's so fun to see your living room again, i feel like i'm coming home just looking at it. That table, that table... so french and bohemian and wonderful! Oh my goodness. Cool suggestion by Betsy, i totally see what she meant, but wouldn't have even noticed the the footstool unless you said something. Torn ACL is a pretty big deal, phew... glad he's doing ok, that's a big, expensive surgery... and i'm with him, i want to sit by the fire and warm these old bones too!

  35. Amy,

    I love the way you have pulled so many elements together to make this cozy room....the paint, the linens/fabrics, the carpet, the furniture, and especially all of the little touches that make a house a home.

    Dillon looks peaceful in this room :)
