One corner of our great room houses a dining table that we use as a game table for playing cards or board games. The pair of horns are so trendy, yet they are over 30+ years old where they graced my uncle’s coffee table. We hired the carpenter that built our cabinet 20 years ago to come out and retrofit the cabinet to go from a 44 inch tv to a new 65 inch tv. It’s been a fun journey and I want to give a special thanks to Linda of Calling it Home who graciously invited bloggers to join her One Room Challenge.

I placed the plant in a seagrass basket from Crate & Barrel to add some texture to the room and was thrilled with the look. It is the final reveal week for this 2018 One Room Challenge. Be sure to visit the other participants in the One Room Challenge. I cannot wait to pour myself a cup of coffee and settle into my newly remodeled great room, perusing every single participants before and after photos!

It’s a large chair and this simple pattern and colors won’t make the chair look so big. In the back of our great room we have two chairs and an ottoman where we like to have our morning coffee and read the paper. I chose a Kravet solid caramel velvet fabric for the ottoman. For these chairs, I chose a Kravet blue and cream stripe with a hint of caramel to tie in the other colors.

The leaves on one of my houseplants started to look quite dull. I researched what I could do to spruce them up and was shocked at the simple trick it took to take the leaves from dull to shiny. The shocking ingredient to shining up these dull leaves is mayonnaise. Just rub a little on a paper towel and wipe on each leaf, putting your hand behind the leaf for support as you wipe.
