old new worn antique vintage collected handmade grown local books
That's my aesthetic: not too precious, it is worn and enjoyed.

The pomegranates, roses, basil, and rosemary are from our garden. I placed the blooms in an empty candle bowl. The scent was jasmine and wonderful.
Since this sofa is ten inches shorter than the last one, I can turn it. Now, I can better place the tree by the windows. It's amazing how much room was created without the rolled arms of the slipcovered one. This one I found at a vintage pop up shop that is held once a month.
This is my favorite time of year. Actually any time from September to April is fine, because the weather is beautiful, and I can enjoy our garden. I hope to decorate fairly soon, so that I will have sufficient time for other events, so we pulled the stuff from storage this past weekend, and it sitting in front of the doors to the bedrooms! I've been stepping around it for a few days now.
As of today, Wednesday, I fixed it, and I can now comment here and on blogs I visit as well.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments.

It is just beautiful, Su. I love the fresh beauty of your room there.
ReplyDeleteIt is so aggravating when you have issues with your blog. How well I know!!!
Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday---xo Diana
Thank you so much, Nana. I spent an hour a two this morning, and I think I figured out the problem, because I was just able to post on Brenda's. Let's hope this work. Have a wonderful day! Thank you for stopping by. xoxo Su
DeleteHi Su, i loved this sofa when you introduced it to us upon its new placement in your home. I love it still and wish it were a find of mine. I wish I had more flexibility in arranging my front room to suite different seasons and moods? But my layout is a much smaller footprint to the space and to get a different comforting look it’s out with a piece to replace a piece right in its spot.
ReplyDeleteIm looking forward to seeing the tree up in your window and all the holiday cheer you add to your home. I like the view of your sofa with the bookcase as your back drop. The layering adds interest to a cottage French feel.
Looking forward to all the beauty you create, when the tree is down I think your sofa could sit in this position for awhile, it looks perfectly charming.

Oh yes, it's that time of year when we start eyeing the furniture trying to decide how we can work in our holiday decor! Love the couch.

Have a wonderful day!

Your sofa is wonderful, but it's that double bookcase behind it that has my heart. You really have a beautiful room.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I just fixed this problem with my blog and responses!
DeleteIt is a pretty wonderful bookcase with those carvings. Have a beautiful week. Always love to hear from you. xoxo Su
Your sofa and table vignette are so pretty. When will you put up your tree? We put ours up on Black Friday. :D
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your pretty books in the bookcase. I like how they're facing out so you can enjoy the gold leaf.

It's a beautiful sofa and looks elegant but yet comfortable to use too. Love seeing your bookcases! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty room and I love how you have styled the books in the bookcase...details like this make such a difference! Bravo.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cozy for Winter. I like the way you have tucked the settee cushions with linens in a shabby french bohemian sort of way. I would sip tea all day long in this space. Your tree will bring even more magic. I look forward to seeing it.
ReplyDeleteI finally posted on my blog. Hoping that I will be able to ease back in to blogging in the new year.
Thank you so much, Kerrie, for stopping by and the lovely comment. I finally figured out what was wrong with the blog. xoxo Su
DeleteOh Su I hate when the computer and blog act up. It is so frustrating. I hope that can get fixed.
ReplyDeleteLove your peaceful vignette on the table and I know your tree is going to be stunning this year. I cannot wait to see your decorating. I think I am going to start to put my tree up this weekend to get a jump on it. This time of year goes so fast.
Hugs,
Kris
