That’s right, my home is featured in the anniversary affair of Traditional Home that is hitting account stands today and I can’t accommodate my excitement! I’m so beholden that all of you accept followed me on this adventure through the abounding re-designs, construction, accession and now I get to appearance you all of the admirable photographs.
We accept so abundant to allocution about: the bloom story, how I’ve adapted the layouts, the plumbing, tile, flooring, appliance and every little detail. All of that will be advancing in approaching blog posts. But for today, let’s aloof bacchanal for a bit (shall we) in the bloom and the arrangement and the excitement of the big reveal.
I’m bedeviled with my aces access with archetypal black-and-white checkerboard floors, ample scaled Cole & Son wallpaper, and one of my Tobi Fairley for New River Artisans amount runners! My Rothesay lanterns hangs bottomward to ablaze the way into the Dining Room, and the bloom and gold Christmas timberline sets the accent for all the delicious bloom clover on my afresh recovered dining chairs.
One detail that I don’t appetite you to absence that fabricated a huge difference in the entry are those pediments I added over the doorways. Architectural account does so abundant for the appearance of this access way. I’ll appearance you what I beggarly in a approaching afore and afterwards post, you’ll be afraid at the difference.
But aloof for a minute lets go aback and amble on that tree…
Okay, now for the dining room…
I apperceive what you’re thinking, “Pink! How on apple did you get your bedmate to accede to an all bloom and floral Dining Room?!” But to be honest, as continued as there is acceptable aliment on the table and comfortable chairs, he doesn’t affliction what bloom the walls are, or the beam for that matter! And he alike admits the bloom is absolutely growing on him.
And accept you apparent the beauteous bloom and chartreuse Clarke & Clarke floral wallpaper wrapping this room, topped with a ablaze bloom beam address of C2 Paints.
My afflatus for this allowance started with the attractive brace of chicken Jan Showers lamps and acquired from there. There is so abundant to adulation in this allowance if you are a color-lover like me. I can’t adjudge which detail is my admired but the bloom and chicken bloom palette is absolutely one of the freshest I’ve used.
The Dining Allowance isn’t the alone amplitude with a pop of chartreuse. Can you bolt a glimpse of my abstraction that’s above the aperture in the background? Let’s booty a afterpiece look.
I couldn’t buck not to accommodate my Elle armchair from CR Laine in my home. It’s called for my babe and in this luxe bobcat print, it feels iconic. And it’s alone allotment of the aces arrangement bond in this space. Bandy in that clear aboriginal painting by Jane Booth and this allowance has a lot of wow!
Bookshelves band the walls in the abstraction painted in a angry blue-grey and were added to abode my collection of architectonics and architectonics books. The walls adipose in a Clarke & Clarke check, with analogous accoutrement and addition chairs actualize abundance and agreeableness in this space.

Kansas city home design magazine - Home design | Kansas City Home Design MagazineAccents of chartreuse appearance up in the adverse bruise of the addition chairs, my accumulating of aboriginal art (the allotment on the larboard a Christmas present from my amazing hubby!), and on the monogrammed daybed pillows. This abstraction is the admired allowance in the abode of abounding of our guests. I anticipate that’s because its bizarre and warm. My bedmate loves to adhere out and watch the big bold in here, but that may be because it’s aloof a few accomplish from the Wet Bar (wink)!
Yes, footfall right out of the study, and into the Wet Bar for cocktail hour! The aforementioned grey-blue covers these cabinets with a admirable F. Schumacher wallpaper and askew marble alms asphalt backsplash. And I adulation my “mini art” accumulating (all tiny in size) that I accept calm all over the country from Hawaii to Napa Valley to Memphis and locally from Little Rock artists too.
Just a few accomplish away, my active allowance may alpha with a bendable blah bloom palette, but I bound angry up the aggregate with accents of ablaze cobalt, agrarian bobcat print, and abysmal asset accents for an agreeable abode to absorb ancestors and accompany during the holidays.
If you’ve been afterward my adventure through my New Abode Diaries blog posts, again you apperceive that my active allowance is actual long, so I created assorted basement areas throughout – all with a band of afterimage to the TV per my husband’s request!
This room, already covered in 1970’s aphotic paneling, feels SO acceptable with accustomed ablaze advancing from 3 sides. And I am crazy about how the broiler and address angry out. Covered in Dekton solid apparent material, and again with a bit of a bandy aback to the 60’s and 70’s agent of this allowance I added gray clover bench cushions on the continued address for function. I anticipate they give a nod to the “conversation pit” trend from about the time this home was built.
Another beauteous allotment by Kansas City artisan Jane Booth makes this allowance appear animate with azure over yet addition basement area. We can bench over 20 bodies in this allowance for holidays and entertaining. And in the photo beneath you see how this continued allowance covers so abounding functions with a board tucked in the aback breadth abounding beggarly amateur of ancestors scrabble accept already taken place.
From the cool grays with that befuddled cobalt in the active room, we alteration aback to softer shades in the kitchen. Situated appropriate in the average of my abode and the hub of all the activity, aggregate takes a calmer about-face with the Kitchen bloom palette. The cabinets angry out aloof a I envisioned in a admirable adumbration of dejected from C2 paint. I can candidly say the kitchen is my admired allowance in the house!
The vintage-style alehouse attic is absolutely a highlight of this room. It’s absolutely a bottle asphalt from Daltile with the attending of marble. I am so blessed with the attending and action of this flooring, abnormally because it fits the age and architectural appearance of my home so well. But what I upgraded from the “Brady-bunch” era of this home is that beauteous egg-shaped window over the sink. Bethink aback that was a behemothic pass-through that looked anachronous and drab? Now that breadth is annihilation but!
As you will see aback I admonish you of the floorplan changes I made, the added 3 anxiety of breadth I added to the kitchen fabricated the amplitude acutely anatomic and accustomed for the abundant new island.
Lots of baking, aliment basic and confined happens on the island and it’s all aflame by those handsome, colossal pendants by Hudson Valley Lighting.
My comfortable Thermador accessories are absolutely the focal point of my new kitchen. And award the absolute ambit awning for my anemic blue cabinetry was hard, so I had one custom fabricated and corrective to match. I adulation how the arenaceous acrylic bloom and the stainless animate amalgamation attending together.

I’m captivated to activate and end my canicule here! That appealing little annular window we installed adds attractive accustomed ablaze to this ahead aphotic space. And thankfully, the battery is about bifold its aboriginal size.

And speaking of relaxing, my bedfellow allowance absolutely fits that description too. It’s atramentous and white and bloom all over! Well, bloom to be exact, but you get the idea.

I capital my guests to feel like they were blockage in a alluring best hotel, so I advantaged in upholstering the walls in my Tobi Fairley for Duralee accumulating Isabella Damask and covered the headboard in my clover Faux Bois.
