We are working with a new client who is a busy, stay at home mom of three girls under the age of 8 years old.  Her entire house feels like it belongs to her kids so she has hired us to make her living room a "sitting room" just for her.  To relax, read and get away from the household hustle, bustle.  Here's some inspiration:

Country Living featured this happy "preppy" sitting room.  The collage above the wall is fabric inserted into embroidery hoops.  The lamps have grosgrain ribbon strung around them and the pillows add a fun pop of color.

I love the painted floor in this room and the coffee table that has stools stored in it for extra seating.

I adore the coastal, cottage feel of this room.  This would surely feel like a getaway.

Better Homes and Gardens

This room from House Beautiful is filled with re-purposed items and has a very eclectic feel to it.

Whatever your "style" - bright and happy, neutral and subdued, rustic or glamorous, it's all about how a room makes you "feel".  I can't wait to design this sitting room for this client and make it her "quiet, get away from it all" place.
