New paint in living room & foyer...
Hello! We've been in our new home since June and are finally getting around to painting the living room and the foyer. The living room is a pale yellow (called "Madeline" -- from the Martha Stewart paint line) and the foyer is a sage-y green (called something stupid, too).

Definitely saucy. I love the colors.

Are those train station seats?

They're trolley seats. Can you believe we got those for $20?

I think I pass out from finally seeing sauce after being so deprived!

VERY nice. I love that green, and especially adore the chairs in the entry. Oh, and your floors. *drool*

The coffee table is actually from Ikea. I got it from Ikea about 5 years ago, but it's been discountinued since. They always seem to discountinue the cool stuff. :(

The sofa is from Design Within Reach -- it's called the Bantam.

LOVE IT! It's so interesting that I LOVE the clean lines and simplicity of your place but when you all see my space, it will be all ethnic crosses bordello and I LOVE it as well! And yet it is soooo completely different.

I know exactly what you mean! There's some stuff that's different from my style, but is so great and well-thought out. I love it when people are really eclectic in their design and their personality comes through in the place they live.

Do you have pictures of your place?

Wow, this is so well-done! It takes a lot for me to really like a style other than my own (very beach cottage-y), and this is absolutely amazing. I love the artwork above the theater chairs and the piece in the first picture by the couch. Gorgeous house.

That is one of the best rooms I've seen in a while. I absolutely love it! It is clean, crisp, smart. I also love the low profile furniture, it keeps the room open.

Soooo clean with jsut the right amount of color, I love it!

We just got some theater seats from the 20's so it's nice to see someone display old seats in their home to give me some ideas.

I absolutely love your color schemes. I would love to know the name of that green.

What a fun place!

I can't remember the exact name! We threw out all the cans, but I think it's Cherimoya from Sherman-Williams' Martha Stewart collection.

besides the fact that i absolutely love your house and i had to tell you that it is simply gorgeous (and somehow fun-looking, as well!)... i also need to ask a favor. I'm learning spanish and my brain NEEDS to know - what is the ending on your artwork that says "entiend-"???????

No problem! It's "entienda" -- but the title of the painting is "entiendame."
