After

And here are the 'after mom visited' photos! Enjoy.

A shot from the front door....

Living Room

Creative new use for my sofa back!

My reading corner.....

The bookshelves and TV console are the only things we purchased! Go us.

A closer look.....

Dining Room

I think the fleur-de-lis is my favorite part of the whole place.....

My mom found it at a cute antique store in La Jolla. It was damaged so it was under $20!

After a little Gorilla Glue and MANY coats of crackle paint it's as good as new.

I have a butler in my dining room.

So I lied....we bought a couple of other things.

We found this cute Nicole Miller trash can at Tuesday Morning.

La Cocina

Grace Kelly says, "Come to Taylor's house! Bring Taittinger, s'il vous plait."

Plenty o' stemware......

And is that a margarita pitcher I see? With tahitian highball tumblers?

This is the schmancy house warming coffee maker my dad and Linda bought for me! It grinds the beans and then automatically puts them into the filter thing and starts brewing. I still haven't gotten tired of watching it do its thing in the morning.

To the bathroom.........

mon parissiene bathroom

This fun tray is in my bathroom....I like her.

She looks like how I feel at the end of a long day when

the only thing I want in life is a glass of wine.

My mom bought her for me for my birthday.

Cute seashell print in my bathroom.....

This is my bedroom door! Next project is the bedroom..........

I'll let you know when it's finished.
