I recently changed the slip cover on our sofa, a sure sign of summer, which motivated me to snap a few pictures of our summer living room. I’m not sure if I’ve shared pictures of this space since painting the walls white a while back, but I’m so happy with how light and bright is it now. And of course white slip covers always brighten the room.
Also new to the space is the round mirror over the mantle. I new that I wanted something round and finally decided on this one.
I tucked a little air plant down inside the bowl of wine corks and now I wish I had one in each room. Such fascinating little things! The little crock behind the sofa is from Studio McGee. It’s perfect for holding fresh flowers from the garden.
The pottery on the mantle and on the coffee table is some that Dad made and that had been tucked away in another room. I thought the warm colors helped to add weight and balance out the lighter colors.

Love the grey chairs, can you tell me where you purchased them or the manufacturer. Thanks
René says
Lorraine, you can find the link to the chairs at the bottom of this post where it says "shop the details" or click on the "shop my house" tab at the top of the blog. Hope this helps.
Lorraine says
Thanks for the info Rene. The color is listed as green-grey? What's your opinion? Have a happy father's day celebration with your men
René says
Oh no! Somehow I missed this question, my apologies! Our chairs are definitely gray, not at all green. We did purchase them several years ago though. Hope this helps.
Karen says
Your home is beautiful! I have the same rug in my family room and we love it. Have you been happy with the mirror?
René says
Thank you so much Karen! I've been very happy with how the rug has held up in our family room with a dog, guys who refuse to take their shoes off, and life in general. 🙂
I'm very happy with the mirror. It is rubber which some people may find "off putting". No one would ever know unless they touched it. It was easy to hang and seems to be of good quality overall. I would purchase it again. Hope this helps.
