It's a two-cupper kind of Monday for me, so how about some Before and After goodness?
I've been working with my sister to get her formal living room properly zhushed before an upcoming shower she's hosting. Can I just say right now how much it KILLS me not to be able to do this fun stuff in person? Oh well, getting to be a part of putting together a great room is still rock 'n roll.

Wanna peek? (Pardon the iPhone pics)
Wingback Before - Sad stuffing, and almost-coulda-shoulda-been-kinda-cool Missoni-esque fabric....
...and After... Make-a-me-SO-happy coral and purply-pink ikat!
X-benches Before (sorry, no real-life photo) - Now, you know I'm not the kind to turn a side-eye to most anything animal print, but these bargain X-benches needed to look....well....not so bargain-y....
So, they found some love in the form of high-quality velvet, and extra tufting. Oh, the plushness of it all!
What's pulling this all together, you ask? Why, a giant, colorful print by Cozamia, of course!
I'm a decorator, wife, and busy mom of three. I believe in elevating the average space, and bridging the great design divide. I love homes, and aspire beyond builder-grade blah. This blog chronicles our own home projects, what inspires me, and sometimes, just what's on my design-track mind. Taking ordinary homes to higher levels is my little happy place.

Seriuosly I love it all so far! If its killing me to see more aleady I can only imagine how much its killing you not to see it in person too :)
WOW! It looks awesome. I bought one a few weeks ago, and I am so intimidated by it that I have put it in my guest bedroom where I do not have to see it :-)
Awesome transformations! I LOVE that pink ikat... I pinned it last week. It looks amazing on that chair!!!

You know I liked that wingback before and then I got to the after. Gorgetastic! And you were so right about the benches - that fabric makes all the difference!!!

Everything is so pretty, Alison!
Is that a hot-pink front door??
LOVE it.
It looks fabulous! I love that chair and x-benches. You're good! :)
The fabric on that chair just makes me happy and I've been craving some blue velvet lately so those benches are enough to inspire me to practice my Spanish enough to find an upholsterer here for some extra tufting. Beautiful.
GREAT PICS:) I really like your blog and will happily follow.
I wish you a lovely weekend:)
