This is my Sister (Below). She's two years older than me and lives in her first owned home with her British Hubby. They both work in an industry that means insane hours during its peak season. We're talking 7AM-9PM Monday-Saturday. It's rough on them both.
{^Jocie on Left, Me on Right}
Naturally while this schedule is in place, elegant Friday nights full of friends, appetizers & cocktails are on a temporary hiatus. Though this does nothing to stimulate their social side, it has done wonders for their home.
Months ago, they discovered a Friday-night Auction a short-distance from their office. Instead of losing out on all weekend activities, they've found themselves an entertaining pit-stop in this event. They go almost every Friday night, for which I make fun of her by tell her she's turning into an old married fart, to which she snaps and says "don't even start, do you know how exhausted I am and how much I'd rather have time to go out to dinner or something on a Friday night?" Then I shut up.
But really, their home has been the winner in this game. I went to a Brunch there last weekend and snapped a few iPhone pics while I ate:
{^The dining room- so many colors and textiles, I love. She informed me they just got new chairs as of a week ago, can't WAIT to see.}
{^She has always found a way to decorate with keys, no clue why. It has always been her thing.}
{^Color, textiles, food... harmony!}
{^Gray walls and cabinetry embellished with monochrome ceramics?? Oh no you di-int! Perfect.}
The antiquey vibe is totally my Sister. The Contemporary vibe is totally her husband. And the blending of it all is totally them. I just adore it!
Have a grand Thursday ♥

Your sister's house is gorgeous! Looks like a perfect blend with plenty of personality.
Just beautiful!! It looks like her home stepped straight out of a magazine ( or a Pinterest board!)
Agree with Katie & Kate! The decor is amazning...I love the keys, & those moss balls (the green balls, those are called moss balls right? Or am I just making that up?).
& I thought about having a eyeliner brush to go with giveaway, but I didn't know which to get...Recently I got the MAC 208, um yeah it doesn't do anything for me, only because I suck at makeup. I can't to see your post now.

Your sister's house is goooooooooorgeous!!!! Dang!
Gorgeous! Both of you and the decor!
Looks like beautiful interiors runs in the family!
Whoa you and your sis have great taste Miss Caitlin.
I love that they've found a way to make both of their preferences work... I think sometimes one person takes over, and the other person isn't really represented in their home. Love all the color in the dining room!
