The time for teasing is over...
I hope it was worth the wait.
Our idea was casual elegance using some of Mary's favorite greens and blues.
Sources run from the Habitat for Humanity store to West Elm to antique fairs (and everything in between!)
A Craigslist "french-ish" linen settee with a pair of DIY gilded pedestal tables
Butterfly prints that turned out better than I had hoped, and a pile of Turq-WAZ - can you resist? Nope, neither could we!
Details matter.
...and, last but not least, the lady who trusted me (and paid the bills!) Thank you, Mary, it was such a treat!

Alison, it looks amazing Mary must be so happy. The chairs you did from Overstock are wonderful. I love all the green and blue touches. The lime shield back chair was the perfect touch. You should be congratulated on a job well done, Kathysue
Wow the coffee table looks GREAT. The chairs. The butterfly prints.
Thanks for sharing - green and turq blue looks really pretty together.

Such quiet elegance yet modern with just the right dose of eclectic. Love it! My favorites are the ikat chairs, butterfly prints and settee. The artwork you chose adds the perfect touch. Wonderful job!
It looks so pretty Allison, well done! Really gorgeous work
You did a wonderful job with Mary's room. It is so tranquil. One question: How did you paint the side tables in gold? What paint did you use?
Wow, what a beautiful room....Mary must be so pleased. So impressed you were able to do this with a newborn!!! Congrats.
Gorgeous!! Love the art pieces...

Wow Alison, you really pulled it all together all while living in another country AND having a baby AND taking care of a little cutie. You are crazy talented my friend, this room is incredible and it was fun seeing each step in your process.

Just love the settee! Can't believe you found that on craiglist - its gorgeous. The whole room looks great.
Alison you knocked it out of the park. Seriously. I particularly love the seating you've selected -- it's all got such character (and a sense of fun!). And of course I love the garden stool and the blue & white chinoiserie porcelain on the hearth!

Well done, Alison! It's so crazy, my sister-in-law and I have been totally crushing on those exact same butterfly prints for some time now... they look fantastic! Love the how you matted and framed them!
