This is my daughter, Elizabeth.
And this is her first house.
I just spent a few days helping her settle in.
Other than having a slight break-down when I was installing the curtain rods
in her living room, everything went well.
Her spaces are organized and finished.
This is her living room.

This is her living room.
She painted 3 walls Sherwin Williams Great Green.
We got the mirror at Lowe’s.
(There’s her crazy mother taking the picture.)
Furniture is IKEA Ektorp.
Rug and curtain rods are from Garden Ridge.
Curtains are customized (by Mom) IKEA Lenda panels.
2 for $19.99. A deal in anyone’s book.
Stay tuned for a nifty curtain topper tutorial. Hopefully soon.
Accent wall is SW Rare Gray.
Oblong pillows are IKEA.
I made the ones with the ribbon trim.

To say I’m proud of my daughter is an understatement.
She had a dream to own a little house…
and she made it come true all on her own.

Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 11:44 amYour daughter's house is lovely. I would never have thought of that green with gray but it looks stunning and she found the perfect pillows to tie it together. Seeing her fireplace reminds me that I have not painted ours yet (still have your email) but did get a surround/mantle we are refinishing and then we will see! Curtain panels are great!

Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 3:25 amHi Ann! Everything looks wonderful. It's such a cute house. I used curtains from Ikea in my Son's room and when I went to Hem them… I somehow did it on the wrong side for the first panel. What a disaster… I ripped them open and tried to remove as much of the adhesive as possible. I've stuck that panel behind his end table and left them puddled at the bottom. You did a great job!!! Congrats to your daughter!
I'm following. :)

Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 2:32 amHi Ann,
Your daughters house is lovely! I adore the green, in the first photo it resembles jadeite in color! The living room is beautiful, how nice that she has such a great couch set.
Your touches are perfect! She is a lucky girl to have a mom who can help her with these things.
Hugs, Cindy

Monday, July 11, 2011 at 4:32 pmCongratulations. Your daughters home is very cute. When my husband and I married 23 yrs. ago, we painted the interior of our first home almost the same shade of green, and I still love it. I have a bedroom painted almost the same shade now. Your daughter will never tire of the color because I know I haven't. it is timeless! I would have never thought to put the gray with it, but I really like it. It makes the gray cheerful! Good job! I am your newest follower.
