This is a radical style change for me. I've always loved pink, blue and buttercream yellow. Lots of flowers and hand-painted pottery. Mixed prints with cabbage roses, plaids, stripes all mixed together. Cottage hand-painted furniture and froo-froo ruffled couches. LOL! So...how did I come to have an organic-earthy-craftsman-contemporary-with touches of prim living room? I'm not sure. It just happened! I got weary of clutter and froo-froo after 10 years. I felt overwhelmed and crowded and just needed some visual calm. So if things look kind of minimalist (for me, anyway!), that's why!
I'm thinking I want to stain the wood on this hutch cherry and paint the rest black with a walnut stain over the top to age it. 
Thia is the corner that needs a little upholstered reading chair and floor lamp. I'm thinking burgundy velvet or maybe a leaf print?

Hi Charity, I love what you've done,the soft beiges in your home are mmmmm, we have similar in our sitting room and the compliments we get are how relaxing it is to sit and unwind there in the evenings. Don't wear yourself out stripping and repainting/staining the hutch it would go perfect in my sewing room so to save you the hassle of hard work just pop it on a ship and send her on her way across the ocean. I promise to make her send you regular updates on how we're treating her :o)
I'm loving this new look! Your ideas for the hutch sound perfect. Nice work!
Hi Chairty,
SO glad to see you have your own blog. I loved your cottage rooms and remember when you decorated them. However, we all need a change and I love the clean, uncluttered look. I have been through been changes over the years and that's what keeps us going. I always like seeing your beautiful dog in your pictures. I from the old CSDI board.
Hugs,
Connie
