There’s a tiny little room tucked in the corner between the laundry room and the guest bathroom. We call it the snug.
Last week on Instagram I shared this reel about the snug, but I wanted to share more information here today.
First, the color: Sherwin Williams Pewter Green (see all my paint colors here).
Next, the drapes. They are one of my best second-hand finds EVER. I found THREE 14 foot long panels of striped velvet drapes at an antique mall in Georgia. I bought them in the summer of 2023 for $50 per panel. Sadly there were only three, but the fabric was doubled over, so I knew I could have a seamstress take them apart and make SIX fourteen foot panels if needed. Reader, they were not needed, but later I did have someone take one panel apart to make two –and shorten them.
At the time, I had no idea where I would use them, but the color was one of my Personal Neutrals (House Rule #84) so I bought them.
As I was checking out, the store owner told me they were from the set of the Jungle Cruise with The Rock and Emily Blunt. I went home and stood twelve inches from the TV with my phone at the ready like a deranged stalker watching the movie.
There’s a scene where Emily Blunt’s character is trying to hide in this tall, glorious old room and there are my drapes! She has to make a quick escape and she ends up falling out of the window WITH THE DRAPES–now I know why they didn’t line the drapes, but used the same fabric on the back!
My drapes are basically a main character!
I had the Roman shades made through Two Pages, highly recommend.
This dresser is the first piece of furniture Chad and I bought together – 31 years ago. I think we paid $375 for it, second-hand. I’ve always loved dark wood and still do. It’s one of my Timeless Classics (House Rule #23).
Here’s our little view–actually, it’s my cat Francie’s view.
The loveseat is an Ikea loveseat, I had a linen slipcover made here. The lamp bases are from At Home, the shades are from Target.
The bigger marble table is from World Market and the little ottoman is fromLulu and Georgia.
Pretty much everything else is from Wayfair.
Speaking of Wayfair, it’s their annual President’s Day Sale! That little round table is less than $75 and the side tables are less than $80.
