Calling It Home

Hey All, I am so excited to have Linda from Calling it Home today. Linda will be sharing a beyond FABULOUS makeover she recently completed for the series she created One Room Challenge. I hope you love it as much as I do!!!

Hello Graceful Searchers, I'm Linda from the blog Calling It Home. Laura asked me to share with all of you how I made my choices for transforming my entry. 
The inspirational images that helped me formulate my vision for my entry came from all over the internet. I am a Pinterest addict and have been collecting images....thankfully, they were helpful.
I have to say that this image started the whole process for me.

My interpretation of this image became this

All Blue & White Purchased @ The Pink Pagoda

Once I saw this image of a large round mirror over an altar table....I became obsessed with the combination. 
Suellen Gregory
The two square stools under the altar table were also a must.

Painting the table white was Celerie's idea, I just copied her
Celerie Kemble
I won't even try to take credit for this magnificent fabric design. It was entirely Jennifer's idea and design. 
Designed by The Pink Pagoda
Put that all together, and it became this.

Calling It Home

Multiple colorful rugs are abundant, but this one was my favorite
Red Magazine
Here are two of my rugs.


Finally, this wall treatment was the starting point for me. I had to make alterations to the original plan.

Oak Hill Architects 

This is how it turned out.
If you would like to see how all of this came together, you can go here. Thanks for having me over, Laura. I still can't believe this is my home! I feel really lucky.
Linda


Linda thank so, so much, I know this post will inspire many!! xoxo
Always Stay Graceful!!
