I Found a Place to Use Red

Hello everyone!

Remember how I wanted to use some red accents in my home?  I tried some in my family room but then changed it to blue. So,  I found some red accent pillows that felt right and I used them in my sitting room and foyer instead.  They tie in with the blue nicely without being overwhelming. 

I added these red grainsack striped pillows to the chairs in my front sitting room.

They bring a bit of color to this otherwise neutral room.

I like that they are still in a style that goes with Swedish and Country French design.

A few changes were made to the secretary as well.  I removed the books since they ended up filling the dough bowl on the coffee table.  Simple white pitchers and some greenery fill it now.  My Whitewood Farm sign moved in here above the secretary and my white slipcovered ottoman moved beneath it.

I moved the floor lamp (from the family room) in here beside a chair.

I'll share what replaced this lamp in the family room later.

In the foyer, I used this pretty red patterned pillow sham on my bench.

I bought this after having seen it used on my sisters bed and fell in love with the color and pattern!  

Thanks sis for the inspiration!  You can see her beautiful bedroom HERE

So, now I have the blue that I love AND a few additions of the red that I like as well.  It all works together and isn't too much color.  (Y'all know I still like neutral colors.)

Hope you all are enjoying the first weekend of Spring!  

Thanks for stopping by.
