Condo Living

When my folks were getting ready to move into their condo Mom asked me to help her decorate.  Her wish was that we use a new lamp as inspiration.  This lamp is the one seen below. Paint, new furniture, window treatments, and accessories played of that lamp.  The condo was fairly new so the flooring and lighting were to remain.  All of the furniture in the living and dining room is new.  So that she could get an idea of what furniture would fit I made cardboard and paper mock ups of the pieces she was wanting.  I was able to convince her that the end tables needed to be this large. 


This is the eating area looking in to the living room.  She is getting ready to have some friends in for lunch the day this photo was taken.


I will post more of the room soon as this does not show the breakfront and a couple of chairs in the living area.

  1. Beautiful! Did you pick the paint colour to go with the lamp? Looks so lovely with the sofa!

  2. Yes, the paint color was picked to go with the lamp. The lamp was new about a year before the condo was bought. The dining end of the room has an accent color on the back wall in a dark red - wine color that is the color of the kitchen walls. This place has an open kitchen, dining room living room. Mom had wanted a red kitchen for some time. It is really a nice retirement place. I will post some more pictures sometime soon.
