So I did a little refresh over the weekend involving some new hardware, a bit of paint and some wallpaper that I already had. A closeup of the handles Here's the chest of drawers that got the treatment.  You might remember it previously from my dressing room. I...

I doubt there's a room out there that can't do with a dose of black and white.  In this post, I talked about how nearly every other room that Domino - God rest it's soul - featured, contained some dose of this magical monochrome wonder.  So I figured my living room -...

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I decided to rearrange a few bits in my living room.  Specifically, the 'hole' where the fireplace should (and eventually will) be.    I really need to find a word for that space... the constant use of the word 'hole' may result in...

For the second installment of Christmas decor in the Swoon Worthy household, I thought I'd show you my living room. It's the only room that's even marginally close to being completed after finishing the floors, painting, wallpapering and purchasing the sofa that I am...

The floors in the living room were in some serious dire need of help when we moved in.  It was one of the things that made us gasp when we turned that key for the very first time, that made us question if we had done the right thing in buying this house. See, the...

The living room, when we first moved in, was magnolia.  Bland, wouldn't-hurt-a-fly, goes-with-everything, boring-as-all-hell, might-as-well-order-vanilla-even-though-they've-got-double-chocolate-chocolate-chip-mint-with-hundreds & thousands-on-top Magnolia....

When W and I moved in together, we had the inevitable task of trying to mix his n' her styles.  W had bought his house 9 years before and it was for him, a step on the property ladder and so most of his furniture was either bought on the cheap or handed down.  Being...
