Room Inspiration: An Updated Mid-Century Office
This room was inspired by a client’s request for a "Mad Men" style work space with current day sensibilities. After perusing through these images, Cocoon Home came up with this modern mid-century office.

Zoe's Bedroom Update
I recently added a few touches to Zoe's room to introduce a touch of glam and a bit of rustic flair. Now, a framed needlepoint horse found at Farmyard Darlings hangs perfectly above her bed and bubbled glass pulls update her closet doors. Take a look:

Moving Mode: A Family Wall Before And After
Hanging our framed photograph collection of friends and family in the new house really made the space feel like home. As I hung each photo, my emotions took over: memories of family events, friends' weddings, younger days and people no longer with us. Having a designated space for family pictures, i.e. either on a wall, resting on easels atop a console, is a very nice way to take in memories at a glance. I'm looking forward to adding more photos as we explore new places, meet new friends and host old ones already dear to us. Below are some before and after shots of our new family wall and a sneak peek at the one we had in Cambridge.
Affordable and Interesting Art @ Crate & Barrel
While shopping for a client at Crate & Barrel recently, I couldn't help but notice the store's art offerings this season. With lots of interesting patterns, both bright and sedate colors and a wide variety of textures and sizes, finding the right piece to decorate an empty wall becomes an easy task. Above are just a few of my favorites but click here to see the rest of the collection.
In furnishing a home, adding art to its walls can be very satisfying if done right. Remember, one can never go wrong investing in the art one loves.
