Littlestown, Adams County, Pennsylvania

Always a martyr for animal print, I have to first acknowledge the blue and tan abstract leopard pillows, along with the unforgettable snakeskin ottoman I found at a consignment shop outside D.C. They add the right amount of interest on top of the more refined palette.

The living room is anchored by an oversized mercury‑glass lamp and a painted antique coffee table. The classic pieces stay current with the addition of a contemporary candelabra and a silver bamboo photo frame. I added faux cranberry stems for a bit of color alongside the round navy candles, and to keep the metals from reading too cold.

The Goliath‑sized urn planter and powder‑blue French provincial shutters were one‑in‑a‑million Marketplace finds that fill and finish the space exactly the way I hoped they would.

I even broke my own “no word art” rule for this “make yourself at home” sign with its striped burlap backing — it earned its place.
