PRETTY SITTING ROOM!

November 29, 2010
  • Share

Sitting room with painted ceiling, grey carpet, brown walls, white armchair, white Frances Elkin lacquer chair and white curtains with brown and white embroidered trim

Hope you had a great holiday weekend! I did! I had a wonderful weekend (oh except for the part where I got a computer virus on Thanksgiving morning and spent 3 hours trying to get rid of it…I finally found a video on Youtube where some 14 year old kid with braces explained how to get rid of the virus…it worked…thanks kid with the braces!)!

Anyhooooooo….wouldn’t it be nice to have space for a sitting room in your home? A place off of your bedroom where you could sit and read, write letters, handle light correspondence and have a wonderful cup of tea. I like this chocolate brown and white his and hers sitting room. Very tailored and quite a nice space to sit…!

I’m sitting on a hard cold chair in my kitchen right now…my “sitting room”…hmmmm…

Well…no time to sit this Monday though…so much to do.

Sitting room with brown walls, a white sofa, tufted brown ottoman with white piping, a lantern, built in bookshelf and a round table with a brown and white table cloth

Sitting room with brown walls, grey carpet floor, detail trim painted on the ceiling, built in shelves and a brown polka dot upholstered sette

while I like this sitting area…I think my favorite element to the room is the detail trim painted on the ceiling. Love this added touch.

What do you think of this room? Where do you sit to read and write and just sit in your home?

Hope you have a fantastic Monday!

    That room is gorgeous! I love everything about it, especially the browns and the mix of patterns.

    I just posted today about mixing patterns. If I had seen these photos, I would have included them.

    Thank you for the siting room inspiration. I actually do have a chair and desk in my bedroom, but my beagle usually gets to the seat first!

    Loving this room and yes you’re right (of course!) that brown trim on the ceiling is a very fine idea.

    yes, that is pretty! i feel like i wouldn’t use a sitting room, we have a formal living room and we don’t use it, maybe for our next cocktail party?

    Ooooh, this is such a pretty room! LOVE the detail on the ceiling. OMG, I could do this on my dining room ceiling… where’s the painters tape?! I also love the ottoman – adore the look of contrasting piping. And love the beautiful pattern on the table skirt & cushions.

    This room needs to go into my inspiration folder pronto! THANK YOU for sharing it!

    LOVE this room! I’ve been dying to paint a room brown in my house – probably the powder room! And the Frances Elkin chair has always been a favorite. In my old house, I actually did have a sitting room off the bedroom and it was lovely. Now I’m either in the kitchen or in my tiny office upstairs.

    I recognize the white sconce — was drooling over it on Neiman’s website. I like the room, but it is a little over-decorated to me. Thanks for all the great posts!

    I just found this looking for a white chair with a brown desk b/c I just painted a chair white to go with a brown sewing machine. This is lovely. I LOVE your style!

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
