Regarding the article Modern minimalist design

Greetings! What in the world is that I smell ... and feel? Dare I say that it's SPRING?! We are being teased with beautiful temps this weekend! My husband is outside painting our pergola as we speak, and I'm catching up on a few projects I missed doing while down with the *icks*!

So, you may remember me recently sharing the new furniture in our great room not to long ago. We bought a sofa and love seat set; however, I had already moved the love seat out of the great room (surprise, surprise). I thought it'd be fun to see what it would look like in our sitting room, which, ever since we moved here, has only had two chairs in it. I was okay with that, as the room is only 10x13; however, it was lacking a bit of a *cozy* feel:

NOW, with the love seat! I'm really enjoying how the space is coming together! It seems a bit more of a comfy spot to curl up with a good read! Even though, I've never been a fan of putting a large piece of furniture in front of a window, I think this might actually work here:

I moved one of my patterned rugs back in here, along with a wing chair, and brought in colorful pillows from World Market. The narrow accent table against the wall (from Kirkland's) holds a pair of lamps and a cream pedastal bowl, all from Home Goods:

I filled the bowl with orbs, sea shells, a bound stack of pages from an old book and a cute nest filled with robin's eggs (from Pottery Barn):

I added one of my faux fur rugs (from Tuesday Morning) to the top of the ottoman for some fun texture, along with a tray filled with books and a gold ring box (also from Tuesday Morning):

As for the bookcase, I decided to lighten up it up a bit, too, by adding cream fabric to the back. I'd love to find wallpaper or contact paper instead that is a bit heavier, but this will do for now (please excuse the wrinkles, which I need to steam out):

Of course, I had to play around with the accessories, too. Love bringing out my shells:

And, while a soup tureen is an unexpected piece for my sitting room bookcase, I love bringing in lighter pieces:

Love the wrapped glass vase:

This wall arrangement remains the same ... for now:

I've ordered a few new things for this room (that were on SALE!), and, if they turn out like I'm hoping they will, I'll be so excited!

I hope you like what I've done. I *think* Eden approves of the changes. It's either time for a nap or she's extremely bored watching me move things around. ((*BIG yawn*)) ... LOL.
