I haven't posted much about my daughter's house renovation, but I assure you we're working hard and making progress. The biggest changes have been painting inside and outside and removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room. I think the most dramatic improvement though was when she added new windows. We haven't decided if we're leaving the windows as they are or adding bamboo shades or plantation shutters.
I'll be sharing before and afters later, but for now it's just a peek into the living room. The mantel is original to the house. It's a classic style with dental moulding details. The modern brass mirror was one of the first things we added to her home. We tried many configurations on the mantel but in the end we let the mirror take center stage and only added topiaries on either side. We broke up the symmetry with the plaster lion figure. More about the lion later.

The vintage chair came with her from her apartment. We had it recovered in Dwell Studio fabric. Next to the chair is a brass garden seat that works as a side table or extra seating. It also ties in with the other brass in the room.

The plaster lion is a vintage find.
Its significance is that she's a Leo and the lion is a perfect nod to her sign.
I'll be sharing more later, but for now the kitchen and one of the bathrooms are still a work in progress.
