The Loft

As part of our home renovations, we've added on a bedroom and a loft so that our tiny home had a little more breathing room.  My idea for the loft was to create a very sunny, happy space for reading and tv watching.  I began collecting a few pieces that fit that theme and then put together an idea board to see how best to tie them all together.  This was my inspiration as we finished the construction and began the decorating:

Boasting the most windows of any room in the house, it is the coziest sunniest spot.  The yellow couch set from the idea photo is of the actual set that I own.  They're antique and a very unusual set as they have a strap that links them into a single couch or they can be split into two loveseats.  I found a very cheap vintage Aubusson rug at an auction and then had to figure out how to put these two pieces together.  That's where Spoonflower's Butterfly Damask wallpaper and Tea Biscuit paint came in very handy.  They really blend all the hues so nicely.  I had wanted to add a pink velvet accent chair to the mix, but there just isn't enough room up here, so that will have to stay on the idea board.

The lace curtains are vintage, and the shelving is filled with my knick-knacks and collections of vintage cameras, depression glass, and ceramics.  The room isn't quite finished yet, I haven't started putting things on the wall yet, or finished moving in all the accent pieces, but we're getting there.
