Easy elegance.
Jeepers, i like the sound of that whether we're talkin
demeanor, wardrobe, automobiles, or living rooms.
To love it is to to be okay with some imperfection
(which is so so so different than settling for mediocrity!)
and to capture it is to be named
Atlanta Bartlett, who wrote the book.
Easy Elegance
by Atlanta Bartlett
(Ryland Peters & Small, 2014)
How Bartlett conceives it:
"Easy elegance mixes the old with the new,
the luxurious with the everyday. It celebrates
comfort, simplicity and individuality. The result
is a warm and welcoming home that suits the
relaxed way we want to live now."

Since this is a look I want to achieve in my own home,
I'm looking around this very moment spying areas
in which a small tweak might pack a big easy punch.
Peace to you right where you are.
p.s.
I think it's more challenging
to achieve the effect with large rooms,
Agree?

I am beyond honored that Marian of Miss Mustard Seed
featured my dining area on her WILDLY popular blog.
Merci beaucoup, my multi-talented sista.
