The upstairs portion of the house has the bedrooms and the laundry room. At the top of the stairs is a loft area. There has been furniture up there but it was a bit hodge-podge and it’s been on my list of areas in the house to work on. Some chick named Emily from Our Waldo Bungie fame is visiting this month so decorating needed to kick into overdrive (rumor has it she can be pretty diva-like about accommodations — think J Lo style demands! ). So that is what I did this weekend. The new furniture arrived and assembly began. I really hate assembly.
The goal for the loft was for it to be relaxing (for humans and dogs). There is no TV in the guest room so this is sort of suite for guests to chill in also. Additionally, I love spending lazy Sundays in the loft with the dogs while doing laundry and catching up on meaningless TV shows on E! world news and current events.
The loft is not finished just yet, a new TV stand and new ottoman (ordered from the Joss & Main Yellow Brick Home Curator sale) are en route. But something tells me the area feels relaxing already…
Very nice. I could see spending a snuggly Sunday afternoon there with a couple of snoozing pooches. 🙂
Where did you get the teepee? It is very cute.
Thanks! I got it from Amazon. It’s (obviously) for a child and it came with markers to decorate it but I kept it plain ole white.
Looks great, and the boys are obviously very comfy! Love the lab painting on the wall and the french bulldog pillow 🙂
I need to do a post on the Lab painting. I commissioned an artist from a school for those with special needs to paint that portrait of Max. it is one of my most prized possessions!
What a perfect and wonderful space you have created. I love it. I love the dog picture on the wall and the photos and, well, everything! How exciting that Emily is coming to visit. Have you met her before?
I have not met her yet, I hope she’s not messy! 🙂
Nice! Love the tepee!
Melvin could take or leave that teepee, in fact before I got Jake I was going to retire it to the basement. Now, Jake LOVES it. He runs to it. I think that’s because Melvin sometimes claims the couch and Jake feels he can claim the hut!
I am seriously going to fly you up to Maine to redecorate my house. I love everything about this room and every other room you’ve shown us!
Yipppeeeeee!!!! I’ll start packing now!
I can’t wait to try out your lovely loft! Tell Melvin and Jake to get ready because a snugglefest of epic proportions is going to happen! 🙂
They said to “bring it”!
I am so jealous. Then again, Tracey knows that if I ever meet Jake I would smuggle him home in my suitcase.
What a great space….and so lovely to have this for your guests! I’m in love with your rug, curtains and your couch. Your style is very similar to mine!
I like what you’ve done with the space and it looks like the boys approve!
Will you please come decorate my house? Thanks.
Yes!!! Please pay me with dog snuggles!
DEAL!
Nice! We only have 1 tv in our house and it’s in our bedroom 🙂
I love it! Where did you get that ottoman??? It’s awesome…
I got it at Urban Retreat in Reston. I originally got it for Melvin but he didn’t like the bean-bagness. Do you know Urban Retreat???
