Happy Friday!
A few weeks ago, Jim and I were invited to join Mary Ellen and her husband Ray for a night in at their home.
I was looking forward to spending time with them but I was looking forward even more to seeing her living room and office, which were recently given a makeover.
She hired Kathy and Erin of Inspirational Home Design, who to me, were given a dream job as they had access to Mary Ellen's stash of treasures.
I wish I took more photos and I wish they came out a bit better.
(I also should have taken them before I started drinking some Skinny Girl!)
Come on in and take a peek...
Love the two different pieces she uses as end tables to the couch...
Oh and see the pretty lamp...those are the ones from the estate sale I told you about. She just changed out the shades.
I love this little desk that is in the corner to your left when you walk through the french door into the room...
Mary Ellen bought this wonderful old tin piece from me...I think it looks much better in her house. They attached it to some old shutters and it hangs over their television...
And look at this comfy love seat to watch TV from...
I joked when I first arrived that I was glad I brought a big pocketbook in case I saw some beautiful treasures I had to have.
Unfortunately, it was not big enough to sneak this treasure out...
Beautiful old wings from a broken garden statue...sigh!
The living room opens up to their home office...
Her wonderful old dress form greets you as you enter...
There are so many fabulous details...
Lots of storage...
I love how they slip covered a run of the mill office chair...
Every room needs a little unexpected touch...
Jim and I had a wonderful time and I left feeling very inspired.
Almost all the pieces in these rooms were pieces that Mary Ellen already had in the room or around the house or in her shed.
She really has a great eye as you can see here and at the shop!
Speaking of the shop, the Wrentham Country Store was named a reader favorite AGAIN in Flea Market Style's Wedding issue!!
Congrats to Mary Ellen and all my fellow Shop Girls, and a big thank you at all our customers!!
The issue is amazing and full of wonderful ideas.
As I browsed through the magazine a lot of the items they used can be found right at the shop!!
Thank you for stopping by ~ have a wonderful weekend!!
