i just got back from a very relaxing weekend at home in illinois. my mom and i shopped, ate, decorated for christmas, and saw a movie. it was a great weekend!
my parents' home is absolutely beautiful. my mom has always been an incredible decorator and very creative, so it's only natural that she's made our home beautiful. she even did a guest post on my blog with some decorating tips.

being in my parent's house is basically like living inside of a pottery barn store, and i ain't complaining about that!
























Cute! I love it all!
ReplyDeleteWOW! My mom is nothing like this. Her 'decor' involves throwing a blanket over the couch!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! My mom is an interior designer and our house is always decorated to the nines! Thanks for sharing!

insanely cute!!! would she come out to Cali to decorate my house?? <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place to live!
ReplyDeletelauren - i'm sure she would love to ;)
ReplyDeletewow. very interesting. much different than other homes of people their age bracket..of course I don't know how old they are, but I am assuming late 40's into 50's. i was surprised at how she positioned the master bed right in the middle of the floor in front of the windows...looks really chic. I always get hives when I put furniture in front of a window but that really works AND I love that basket of letters...it would be fun to leave little messages from time to time...cute! tell your mom she did a great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the decor! It does look like Pottery Barn. Very neat! I could use her in my dream home one day. LOL. What color is your parent's bedroom? It kinda looks like the color of our den. That is if it's an olive green/khaki.
ReplyDeleteYour parents have a beautiful home. I love all of the keys and the comforter too!
