They recently added a new larger rug and some trunks to the ends of the beds. (I saw them and loved them so much I copied my mom and got them for <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/some-finishing-touches-to-lillie-and.html">the girls room</a> at Jason's house!) I really love how my mom has put this room together! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFfSLxY2kRag2pfX9qzHUu0JSldHow-x5J6Mno1kpgg-pGm5oC77VRntQ8R1BDvX6uPClPeGSQUbi6D1t_ymU3Hn318Z6kis9lsDAp7QSSx0FiAH47I0uHBAPZBP1FH56QtJ8nA_6fB8h/s1600/aDSC_4442.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Although I would like to,  I can't take any credit for this room. Literally the only thing I did in here before taking photos was add some fresh branches to the urn on the piano. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love what my mom did in this room. It feels cozy, yet still updated and fresh too!  The chandelier and the whole fireplace wall are my favorite things about this room. To me the fireplace is so elegant and simple and I absolutely love the built-ins filled with books. Both of my parents, as well as my siblings (well, except Jason) are avid readers so they have a pretty extensive book collection. Most of their books are stored in other bookshelves but it is nice for them to be able to keep some of them here in this room. The clock that my mom ordered from Amy from <a href="http://shopmaisondecor.com/">Maison Decor</a> was a recent addition to the room and I love how it looks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another thing I love about this room are the addition of special pieces. The artwork above the piano and on the wall at the bottom of the staircase, as well as the one on the mantel were pieces passed down from family. The book and the coffee table is also another special family treasure and sprinkled among the books on the bookshelf are meaningful family photos and accent pieces.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My parent's moved into their new home just over a year ago and love every square inch of it. It is open (which is really nice when all of us kids and grandkids are swarming upon them) yet still cozy and warm feeling. The kitchen is one of my favorite rooms in their new house. I love all of the classic details they chose and the timeless black and white color scheme. And the wide plank floors are gorgeous! <br /><br />As much as I would love to take credit for this space the only thing I did was spend an hour taking photos. My mom is the one who designed this beautiful kitchen. I won't bore you any more with any typing. Here are all the pictures: <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgik6IB-eyh6BqiuSWyCl48RObR86P4MHPXaMHgr-K9VCLjtw_GQTxlFHQtvBoI4KNemAXN3prCgtXXX3gvBTJm_MN1oh6HUKynleW7IqK_SyFOB7D_4m6C-UhRqJ4kFuxR0OBtFVRemVJv/s1600/lJuly_18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgik6IB-eyh6BqiuSWyCl48RObR86P4MHPXaMHgr-K9VCLjtw_GQTxlFHQtvBoI4KNemAXN3prCgtXXX3gvBTJm_MN1oh6HUKynleW7IqK_SyFOB7D_4m6C-UhRqJ4kFuxR0OBtFVRemVJv/s640/lJuly_18.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHl5CGY3y2WgyCFRYjA085pSGJ1qn4CDVE76tGSNoYB-hWqsXe1bMP_s1QOs3F2kHsctHAxr1UDOi4lZh1ZJddOjfOvJ_sRQDz3QuivNcjmiRQY8KASA8GinoMU5dxQw6EvPbUW9Rq_plT/s1600/lJuly_20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHl5CGY3y2WgyCFRYjA085pSGJ1qn4CDVE76tGSNoYB-hWqsXe1bMP_s1QOs3F2kHsctHAxr1UDOi4lZh1ZJddOjfOvJ_sRQDz3QuivNcjmiRQY8KASA8GinoMU5dxQw6EvPbUW9Rq_plT/s640/lJuly_20.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Lillie and Lola LOVE the placement of the microwave and take great pleasure in getting to push the buttons themself when they are heating something up.

We obviously can't do it in the same place but I'd like to find a way to built it into one of our lower cabinets.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqtbjUZLZQvciqZyliV7AI98CBYsztoljZL5gBhg8dAo7uLDP1NErQGes2XpXejjU0hyphenhyphenSPQ1glZRuhZQ-nmLi_ICpDwMqyV_P4jNyWf_el3VYx83-GlUnhud4jfFPSwjsORkq5ryaiV7ZT/s1600/lJuly_27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
