Progress Peeks: Our New House
monogram guest towels | D.Porthault pink towels | lucite towel rod wallpaper: Quadrille Sigourney
Here's what's been going on around here since the last progress peek...
Our blue and white bathroom got a little summer update with these pretty monogram guest towels over these pink D.Porthault scalloped towels. A great example of how small details can pack a big punch.
Over in the kitchen, our new Jenny Prinn painting arrived. As I mentioned on Instagram, I love the art, however, I'm not sure about how it looks on this wall in the kitchen. I know I can hang this colorful piece in a few other spots - but we're going to leave it here until we find something else. I got some great suggestions on Instagram for making this work- adding a piece of furniture underneath to anchor it, framing the piece with a bold frame or adding other paintings and prints to create a gallery wall...all great ideas, but not exactly what I was hoping to do on this wall (one large statement piece of abstract art). So, for the now the hunt continues for the perfect kitchen art.
In the dining room Muse Interiors had our new charcoal gray drapery panels installed and the room looks so pulled together. The search for the last few pieces to finish this room off continues...
Finally, in the foyer, we had two pretty wall sconces installed on either side of the front door-and happily this space is now complete. And, outside we spruced up our planters for summer with some palm fronds and topiaries- the landscaping around the front door looks great...however, the rest of the landscaping, including the back yard still needs a lot of work. Hoping to get a lot done this summer!
