#madforplaid

Happy Fall Monday!  The temps took a dive this weekend, boots and cashmere sweaters have made their way back to my closet ... I am entering this cool zone very skeptically!  Praying for a little less Winter than we had last year!

Back to #madforplaid ... When our family first moved into #ProjectDownsize, now almost 2 years ago! We tackled our little kitchen first.  It's where we spend the majority of our time ... Small enough for Don and I to be comfortable when it's just the two of us and big enough to pile our family of six plus friends in on a special occasion!

The "banquette" was a formal sofa in our previous home and the two dining chairs were from my dining table growing up, loved what a coat of black paint could do for them!

The GP&J Baker Chinoiserie linen brought in another element to help keep the plaid from feeling too "country" for me.

I am so excited to share that this Fall's edition of New England Fine Living featured our #madforplaid kitchen!  

I am working on our laundry room to tie in the colors of the kitchen ... our Cape house is what my Grandmother referred to as a "shotgun" house ... yep you could shoot a shotgun through the front door and it would go straight through the house out the back door!  And that my friends is where my laundry room ... more like a "laundry passthrough" is stationed.  I've been working on this for awhile so putting on the finishing touches now and will keep you updated!

Making the World More Beautiful.  One Room at a Time.
