Nesting With Grace

Plaid Wallpaper Sitting Room (In-Laws Home)

Sharing another room in my in-laws home! This room is a small sitting room off their front door. 11’x7′ to be exact. It was initially going to be an office, but she decided to put her office in a different area. So this room is for prayer, bible reading, and a room to sit and look at the pretty view of the mountains. Basically we started off with a blank slate. The only thing she had bought for the room was a bookcase and ceiling fan. I was THRILLED when I found the coolest plaid wallpaper and knew it would be perfect in here.

Design Plan-

Modern Fan // Plaid Wallpaper // Van Gogh Art // Vintage Portrait // Tree Art

Bookcase // Marble Tray // Basket // Planter // Vase // Mini Lamp // Peperomia Hope

Large Square Basket // Arch Mirror // Floor Lamp // Leather Chair // Hide Rug // Cube Pouf

Faux Marble Table // Wood Candlestick // Battery Candle

Sitting Room After-

Ahhhh! We LOVE it! My father-in-law walked in this morning and said he was tearing up, because he loves it so much! So kind of him to say, and to appreciate the hours it took to wallpaper this room! My sister Brittany, and Ella helped me get it done. Worth it!!!
I love these sliding glass doors! Feels like I am looking through a store window.
The plaid wallpaper honestly completed this space. It instantly felt cozy and like a finished space. Not only does it look good from a distance, but has a beautiful texture up-close. I thought the price was really great for the quality! And it could lean to really any design style.
I did a fun grouping of eclectic art layered on the wallpaper. Everything looked so good on this wallpaper! I felt like the portrait art goes nicely with the plaid. I even framed a map that was just a page in a book. Most frames I collected vintage shopping, always grab an oval frame if you find one! PS- I have details on printing art downloads like that swan on this blog post!

Van Gogh Art // Vintage Portrait (in this gold frame) // Tree Art Set // Swan (in this frame)
They have this great large window that has a gorgeous view of the mountains. It is also the front of their home, so we wanted whatever we put in the window to look good from the road. Plants on a table for the win! I found this great faux marble table that fit perfectly here! I paired it with these ottomans (only $53!) that hold their shape when you sit on them!
Candle Stick Holders // Battery Operated Candles // Planters
A bookcase is always nice in a reading room! I like to put baskets in a bookcase for hidden storage, or for books that maybe don’t match the decor. Also, don’t you just love a lamp in a bookcase??? I gave her the one I had in our office (similar lamp here). There was already a hole in the bookcase, making it easy to plug-in!
Baskets on top shelf // Baskets on bottom shelf // vase // mini lamp
Always a vintage swan in every room (if I can help it!) and vintage art. Also this vase added a nice subtle pop of color.
These poufs are also so great next to a chair as an ottoman or a place to stack books! She had this gorgeous leather chair, that makes for a wonderful spot to sit and read.
This cowhide was perfect size for this room, because it was hard to fit a traditional sized rug. Plus, I love how it doesn’t compete with the wallpaper.
I also added this adjustable reading lamp behind the chair, fit the space nicely!
Again, I used this arch floor mirror! I like how it brightened up the space, bounces light off the window.
Hope you enjoyed the tour!

    I don’t know how you do it – everything you do is absolutely magical! It would take me years to curate the items and put all of it together and it would never look that good!

    So beautiful! I love how you arrange artwork. Do you have a post on how to do it? I have a growing collection of thrifted vintage art, but no idea how to make it look good. Thanks!
