Beautiful room dear Jane! The coffee table is perfect with the couch and love seat AND pillows! Add in the hydrangeas in the pitcher:) gorgeous! Can't wait to see the curtains too:) Have a blessed evening, HUGS!
Jane, the sofas are so lovely and you can so so much with that very neutral color. The table does ground the grouping. You are going to enjoy those flowers all over the place so much. I cannot wait to see the entire room finished. hugs, olive
I love your new furniture!! Everything looks so pretty and comfy! You can buy plate hangers... little coiled wire thingies at Michael's near the framing area. I usually trace the plate onto paper and tape the paper to the wall to determine how I want the arrangement to be. Then just hammer a nail and hang the plate. Easy peasy!
Hi again Janie... first off, thanks for your help with the purse!... I can hardly wait!... I love, love love your table out of reclaimed wood!!! And you have decorated everything sooo cute!... I just ordered that book too, how is it??? As for hanging plates on walls, I will take a photo of a plate of mine and the thing it hangs from... they can be found at most any craft store... they are stretchy wiry things that go on the back of the plate and hook in several places onto the front of the plate... you just have to be really careful when you put them in place... put them where you want them the first time so they don't scratch the plate... everything looks just beautiful!!! and your daughter is a doll!... xoxo Julie Marie

WOW ~ Your room is going to be so gorgeous. That coffee table is wonderful and the dark wood does look fantastic with the white furniture. And I really think I must have that pitcher with the hydrangeas ~ it's beautiful? Can't wait to see more! Your daughter is so adorable too!
It all looks beautiful Jane....everything that I love....creams, whites, greys and hydrangeas....what could be nicer. Looking forward to seeing ALL of it. xXXX
Gorgeous Jane, simply gorgeous! The white with the dark was a perfect choice! You are so talented with decorating, I can't wait to see the rest! We haven't had much snow either although today was nice and sunny for a change! Does change my attitude so much! Hugs, Cindy
I love the sofas and the table. Very nice. Someone gave me this hint and it works. Glue gun a paper clip to the back of the plates. Leave the top free so you can bend it out a little. Works great. Your daughter is so pretty. Snow is coming our way....maybe it will snow for you.
Love the furniture, Jane! The couch and loveseat look so comfy. That table is great!
I used a tip from Diane at In Your Own Style for my plates. Hot gluing a large size paper clip to the back of the plates. I did that about two years ago and they are still on there and I hung them in the living room here in the new place. Let me know if you want the link to her blog. She gives instructions on how to do it {it's real simple}.
LOVE IT!!! Love the light sofa with the dark table. I have a breakfast table made by a company called grass roots that makes everything from old wood. Stop teasing us and show us the rest. I am already wanting one of everything I see in this post.
Looking good, Jane! Hope you get the rods up. I can't do that either!

I have the same sofa! I love ours , mostly because I love cream and off white, I keep my rooms this color because my paintings are my popping colors.I can't wait to see the reveal, shopping in your own home sounds like so much fun!
Jane your room looks so beautiful!!! Oh I love your couches..lovely! Everything is going to be so gorgeous together! The coffee table is beautiful too! Hydrangeas? Love! Enjoy the fun of decorating to your hearts content!
Hi Jane, I love your pretty white sofa. I hope one day to have one like yours. The coffee table is perfect and I love your sweet vingette on top. The room is looking so lovely.
I LOVE your new family room furniture! I LOVE your new purse! I LOVE your new baskets & book. I LOVE that you & your sweetie got to go downtown, shopping & clubbing together!
I'm right along with you, wishing & hoping for Spring, even though it has been a mild winter, its still too dark & gloomy. I need SUNSHINE!
Hugs, Rett
p.s. Be careful with new blue jeans on those white sofas!!! The color rubs off!!
Jane, Your room is looking good. The cheapest place I have found for plate hangers is Target. Or maybe Walmart... The hot glue idea sounds interesting. Can't wait to see it all finished! XO Cindy
Hi Jane Sweetie... What a beautiful room you have created. Love the sofas and that table is just the perfect touch. Can't wait to see your repainted end tables. (I know they are going to be gorgeous. Your curtains as well.) Looks like you are having such a great time recreating a room of love.
Your hydrangeas are the perfect touch for the pitcher. Is says, "Beautiful." Thank you for sharing sweet friend.
Your room looks great!! Can't wait to see it all. I have found the BEST plate hangers. Much, 1000 time much better than wire plate hangers.... Here is a link http://www.dischangers.com/ Hugs, Penny
Hi Jane! Your sofas are FABULOUS! You don't need another thing! I haven't read comments but someone probably already told you there are plate wires for hanging plates. Yes, you can get them at Michael's Have fun with those! I love hanging plates!
OH JANE! I am so very envious...but in a GOOD way! HAPPY FOR YOU! I LOVE your new furniture! The room is looking wonderful! I can imagine that room when the sun shines! BEAUTIFUL! Perfect for reading and blogging! Thanks for sharing the fun! ~Lynne [w/L]
I just love your sofas. I must have missed where you bought them? The coffee table is incredible. I'd love to switch mine out but my husband is attached to it for some reason. Everything is looking so homey. Hope you make it to the lake...we are expecting a little snow. Happy Weekend!
So that's Emily...how cute is she?! Oh how I love your white furniture, Jane! You are going to have so much fun decorating that room. We are getting LOTS of snow today. Hopefully you can get to your lake house before the snow hits downstate. xxoo
Looking good, Janie. I love the table and the sofas. The hydrangeas are relaly pretty in that vase. The wooden boxes would be so nice and functional as side tables...Christine
The room is shaping up beustifully. Love the pale squishy sofasand the contrasting table is lovely. Sorry for now snow but a trip to the lake sounds good Carolyn xx
So glad you've joined 'the world of white and bright' Jane - you will find the days much lighter and you'll love being able to change up our accessories so you'll never tire of your basic furnishings! Love it all.
Just perfect! Read my new post, it's about using what you love in your home. Mary X
Hang your plates with wire plate hangers, easy peasy!
OMG, I love this! It's so fun see new room decor and I really like the dark table you picked with the contrasting lighter couch. You're very talented with design. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Looks great so far Janie! I have plates hung in my dining room and they sell actual plate hangers then I use cup hooks instead of actual picture hangers or nails as I find it gives them more stability. Can't wait to see more pictures ~ have a great week-end! xo
What a beautifully cozy space you've created, Jane! I LUV that sofa - so cushy looking! And the dark coffee table against it looks amazing! Great job, girlie!
Jane the new furniture looks so lovely. And the coffee table --yummy. I love the hydrangeas too and I know you will continue to tweak things for don't we all do that? I enjoyed reading about your day in Chicago. It sounds like it's snowing there--I heard a storm was predicted, I think you've had an easy winter, as have we. Enjoy the weekend.
Looking gorgeous! I sure do love the coffee table. And the sofa looks like it's just saying come sit on me! Can't wait to see the rest of the room. Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know how to use tools!
I love all the changes. I have to ask, where did you get the great white furniture? Don't you just love Homegoods and Marshall's, you can find such great pieces there. I almost bought the pillow with the red writing for the basement.
Oh what a great sneak preview!! Love the loveseat to pieces! Looks so fluffy and comfy! Great style!! Can't wait to see what else you have done. So far I love it all!! Stay warm...we are only in the 20's today! Waiting for the sun to come out!! Miss Bloomers
Oh you brave soul with white! I hope you had the fabric sprayed for stain protection. It's not the same thing as Scotchguard- which is removed every time a stain is cleaned up. I always have it done for our upholstered pieces and recommend it to customers. Your sofa/love are just so attractive and the dark cocktail table looks very nice with them! I love recycled wood -we carry a really cool line of hard goods that uses old wood from barns, old buildings, and wine barrels. You never have to worry about additional dings! :-) Looking forward to seeing the rest of the room when it's completed. hugs, Sue
I'm trying to take advantage of this "cold" to catch up on some blog visits. Btw happy BD and I LOVE that Kate Spade purse you got!
I love the white and dark contrast of your new furniture. Can't wait to see it all pulled together.
I usually use the wire plate hangers, but there is something new that glues to the back... a round disk 'fabric' thing. Kind of pricey. As far as hot glue... I would never trust it to hold forever. Just go with the springy wire thingies and be sure they have the little rubber covers where they touch the plate rims!
Buy now you know exactly what to hang those plates with! :) Good luck. They are going to be lovely..and the best part is they are so easily changed or you can add to them. :) Have fun!
Can I just say that I just love that coffee table and the lovely contrast between the dark and whites in your home?!?! Just love it! And I can't wait to see more of your room!!! And I kind of feel bad that you say it's "cold" over there when it has been a shorts and tee weather here for the past couple of days in the afternoon (although it does get cold in the early mornings & at night)! Anyway, hope you and the hubby have a Happy Valentine's Day! :)
I love your new furniture! I love white or cream sofas and distressed wood, so you've captured the perfect combo. At least with the gloomy weather outside, you're feeling the sunshine inside!
Hi Jane! I think the room looks great.It is gloomy and I think a room redo or rearrange always makes for a spirit pick-me-up!
I always buy the gold wire plate hangers that you get at Michael's or Hobby Lobby or wherever, but I may have to look into Kathy's idea of hot gluing a paper clip to the back? That sounds like a clever solution too!
I am hosting Boticca.com giveaway currently, where you can win $100 worth of jewelery and bags...Just click the link below...I'll wait for you there :)
Oh the room is coming together beautifully!!! It looks done to me! I can't wait to see what you choose to use as decorations. So far, so good!! Beautiful! xxDaniella
Hi Jane.... loving your new furniture....it's just YUMMY!
I just use plate hangers from the hardware or Michaels for plates......I have LOTS of them.....EVERYWHERE... Is it weird to have them in the bathroom too? :-)
Pretty table & sofas...the room is really shaping up nicely for you Jane! We hang plates ALL the time...we just use hangers ~ you can find at Lowes, Home Depot, JoAnn Fabrics or Hobby Lobby ~ if you have any of those near you! We've used the stick on ones, but sometimes those fall off, so, if you really like the plate, use the hangers that hold the plates instead! Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
It is awesome Jane!!! I LOVE what you are doing in here and can't wait for you to show some more of this darling room. That table is beautiful!!!! hugs from here...
I love the furniture. I'm such a slob I would probably spill something on a couch that light colored...I tend to be a jinx with anything new, but I sure love it all! The table is great!
Oh my gosh, Jane - your family room looks wonderfully "cozified"! I just love everything on your blog and those Irish nachos...please send me a batch! Those look so delicious and I had no idea you could order dried hydrangeas on ebay. Heading there right now. xoxo Nancy
It is beautiful Jane! I love your sofa/loveseat and that coffee table! Love it!

[Image]Beside watching it not snow, a lot of work has been going into the family room since my furniture was delivered. I have been arranging pieces of this and that, shopping the house and using some things bought on previous trips to Homegoods and Marshall's. I've made some arrangements and vignettes on tables and moved lamps around more than once. I had a pleasant surprise when the coffee table was delivered, too, because I was told it was back ordered. [Image]The table is made of reclaimed wood and I am loving the imperfections. I wanted a dark table to contrast with the white furniture. [Image]Hello loveseat! A trip was made to Home Depot today for curtain rods. I am hoping The Husband will hang them this weekend. I don't know a thing about using a drill. I found white curtain panels at JC Penneys a few weeks ago. [Image]And this is the sofa. I finally opened the big box of hydrangeas that I ordered from eBay back in December and filled this big pitcher and a few other things. I still have a half box left...they're going to be everywhere! [Image]A few years ago Emily {pictured above} and I bought these wood cubes from Pier 1 to paint and use as side tables and for storage. They obviously couldn't stay this wicked green color. Today I bought some light gray paint and they are now painted and distressed and finished. I stacked them and they hold extra pillows, quilts and throws.
I have more to show you...it's not a big room at all but I want to show it to you after I have hung the curtains. I am also going to hang some plates and this is a new thing for me. Please give me some tips on what you use to hang them on the wall with...I am really at a loss. Someone mentioned something that Michael's sells for hanging them.
Not much else is new. Still no snow but lots of gloom. And cold. If I can get the curtains up, maybe...maybe, we can get up to the lake. I have some things I have to bring home for this room in progress. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! :-)

stopping by via susan branch...what a pretty blog you have! and what a cozy living room...!

Oh you brave soul with white! I hope you had the fabric sprayed for stain protection. It's not the same thing as Scotchguard- which is removed every time a stain is cleaned up. I always have it done for our upholstered pieces and recommend it to customers.
Your sofa/love are just so attractive and the dark cocktail table looks very nice with them! I love recycled wood -we carry a really cool line of hard goods that uses old wood from barns, old buildings, and wine barrels. You never have to worry about additional dings! :-) Looking forward to seeing the rest of the room when it's completed. hugs, Sue

Usually if I can't glue something I nail it, but I don't suggest you do either with plates!

Hi Jane
I'm trying to take advantage of this "cold" to catch up on some blog visits. Btw happy BD and I LOVE that Kate Spade purse you got!
I love the white and dark contrast of your new furniture. Can't wait to see it all pulled together.
I usually use the wire plate hangers, but there is something new that glues to the back... a round disk 'fabric' thing. Kind of pricey. As far as hot glue... I would never trust it to hold forever. Just go with the springy wire thingies and be sure they have the little rubber covers where they touch the plate rims!

Buy now you know exactly what to hang those plates with! :) Good luck. They are going to be lovely..and the best part is they are so easily changed or you can add to them.
:) Have fun!

Hi Jane,
Can I just say that I just love that coffee table and the lovely contrast between the dark and whites in your home?!?! Just love it! And I can't wait to see more of your room!!! And I kind of feel bad that you say it's "cold" over there when it has been a shorts and tee weather here for the past couple of days in the afternoon (although it does get cold in the early mornings & at night)! Anyway, hope you and the hubby have a Happy Valentine's Day! :)
Hugs,
Jessie

I love your new furniture! I love white or cream sofas and distressed wood, so you've captured the perfect combo. At least with the gloomy weather outside, you're feeling the sunshine inside!

Everything is coming together so well!
Your room is so pretty in the whites and your table pops in there.
Thanks so much for praying for Olivia!

Hi Jane!
I think the room looks great.It is gloomy and I think a room redo or rearrange always makes for a spirit pick-me-up!
I always buy the gold wire plate hangers that you get at Michael's or Hobby Lobby or wherever, but I may have to look into Kathy's idea of hot gluing a paper clip to the back? That sounds like a clever solution too!

Hi Jane.... loving your new furniture....it's just YUMMY!
I just use plate hangers from the hardware or Michaels for plates......I have LOTS of them.....EVERYWHERE... Is it weird to have them in the bathroom too? :-)

Pretty table & sofas...the room is really shaping up nicely for you Jane! We hang plates ALL the time...we just use hangers ~ you can find at Lowes, Home Depot, JoAnn Fabrics or Hobby Lobby ~ if you have any of those near you! We've used the stick on ones, but sometimes those fall off, so, if you really like the plate, use the hangers that hold the plates instead! Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
February 15, 2012 at 8:05 AM
Oh what I see is beautiful....can't wait to see more! Love that table! Hugs to you. xoxo

I love the furniture. I'm such a slob I would probably spill something on a couch that light colored...I tend to be a jinx with anything new, but I sure love it all! The table is great!
February 21, 2012 at 10:33 AM
Beautiful! Love the room.Gorgeous couch! Thanks for sharing Joann

Oh my gosh, Jane - your family room looks wonderfully "cozified"! I just love everything on your blog and those Irish nachos...please send me a batch! Those look so delicious and I had no idea you could order dried hydrangeas on ebay. Heading there right now. xoxo Nancy
