I need something tufted.

I have a mad desire for a tufted piece of furniture. A sofa, a chair, an ottoman . . . anything will do!

I’ve been thinking about redesigning my office in a more feminine color palette. I’m picturing a pretty powder blue. Powder blue lends itself to tufting!

I can’t afford a remodel just yet, but dreams are free, so I’ll be looking online and devouring design magazines for ideas until then.

Let me know if you see something, would you?

UPDATE: I got something tufted! A set of velvet club chairs from Anthropologie. Not powder blue, but a pretty teal.

When you live in an older home with small rooms, some of the charm that made you fall in love with it (such as a built-in telephone nook), is also what makes it so challenging to decorate!

I’ve always loved farmhouse tables, but they tend to be over sized. That’s why I was excited to find this option from Pottery Barn. It couldn’t be more perfect for the space, and it fits against the wall between the living room and dining room without a millimeter to spare!

So what’s the secret? (Shhh . . . It’s not actually a table. It’s a desk!) And, it has a hidden drawer with multiple compartments to hide my little treasures.

How great is that?!

So, even if you’re decorating a small space, you can make it work by getting a little creative. It may turn out better than you think!
