Elizabeth's House, IKEA, Pillows

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.
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.

Part 2 coming soon!

  3. Beautiful room! Congrats to Elizabeth on her first home. Love that gorgeous quatrefoil mirror.

  4. Elizabeth's place looks great! You both have done a wonderful job. I was so excited to see the furniture that she picked out placed in a home because my daughter has picked out the furniture…and in the gray. It looks great!

  5. Ann, You should be quite proud of her! Congrats to your daughter on her first home. You both have done a wonderful job decorating and I adore the color scheme.
    xo,
    Sherry

  6. wonderful pictures even of the crazy woman! LOL!!!!! So proud of your daughter for you and my her first home be truly blessed!

  8. Hi Ann, you must be so thrilled for her, i know I am!! Her new house is charming and inviting and oh-so lovely :) xo Diane

  9. I love the house! Its so nicely decorated inside and i adore the colors of the living room. I cannot wait to see the rest of the house! :) I am your newest follower!

  10. Your 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!

  12. How exciting! Her house is darling and you both did such a great job decorating it. Such a pretty green.. Can't wait to see more.

  13. Hi 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. :)

  16. Congratulations to your daughter. It looks like a sweet home. I hope you will show us more of it. Don't want to sound nosy, but you two did such a nice job with the living room, I'd love to see the rest of your decorating.

  19. Hi 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

  20. Elizabeth's first home is just precious! I know she will enjoy it. My favorite was the pillow you did.

    Blessings,
    Haven

  26. Oh, congrats to your daughter Ann! That is quite an accomplishment and how special that the two of you got to work on it together. Everything looks fantastic and you can tell your she inherited your style and good taste! :-)

  29. I LOVE Elizabeth's home!! It is wonderful. and I know you are so proud you could pop! I know I would be! blessings ~ tanna

  30. Congratulations to your daughter – that's a wonderful dream to fulfill!! I'll bet she was glad to have all that mum-talent at hand!

  33. Congratulations. 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.

  47. What a great Mum you are! Those curtains are fabulous, and were a super deal. The pillow so pretty. A very nice house to begin with made a home with the help of Mum's love.

    A bold color on those wall, one my generation would have been hesitant to try. Great result.
