Last week I showed you some pictures of dining room with a promise of living room pictures on the horizon.  I always keep my promises people, so here you go!

I love this piece.  It was a Mother’s Day gift made by E last year.

It took a long time to find just the right paper for the ceiling.  I was thrilled that the winner was from Home Depot!  The chairs were a Craigslist find that I reupholstered.

As you may know, the curtains were custom painted.

I had my Grandmother’s piano bench reupholstered with a metallic cowhide. 2013-4-27 - Salmon Portfolio - Web - Larger (15 of 103)

Remember the Nate Berkus turtle shells that I painted?  Aren’t they fab?

Found this needlepoint on Craiglist.  Had her made into a pillow.  We had leftover turquoise linen from the wingbacks, so I had two pillows made.  The Schumacher pillows are from Etsy.

We love our new living room.  What I love most is that we didn’t break the bank creating it.

Our Dining Room.

2013-4-27 - Salmon Portfolio - Web - Larger (22 of 103)

Last week, I showed you the transformation of our dining room console.  I thought I may as well show you the rest of the dining room while I’m at it.

The table was my parents.  They bought it in 1969, the year they got married.  It’s so beautiful.  I couldn’t part with it.

Remember those chairs I ordered from Home Decorator’s Collection?  Well, they have been given a makeover.

The other console is an oldie form Crate & Barrel.  We painted it Peppermint Leaf by Benjamin Moore.  The walls and console were painted in Benjamin Moore, Black Satin.

The mirror was $69.99 at HomeGoods.  Another score!

The curtain fabric was custom-designed by yours truly.  The gold medallions are hand-painted.  We used the same curtains in the adjoining living room.  I’ll be sharing those pics next week!

This beauty has had quite a makeover.  Not so long ago, she looked like this…

That was in my parents house.  As soon as we moved her to our house we lost the hutch.  See how I created the wall of intaglios here.

But I still wasn’t thrilled with it, so I painted it the same color as the walls.

Flat Vernacular.

I have fallen in love with Flat Vernacular’s sticker wallpaper.  The company, created by New York artist, Peyton Cosell Tuner will create a customized wallpaper made of thousands of stickers then sealed with a clear coat of satin vinyl.  Be still, my heart.
For those of us not able to swing the price tag of the sticker wallpaper, FV also offers printed patterns that are pretty swanky.
