Remember this pic above from my living room last month, where i asked you all to help me define my style?Well....I've been a busy bee.............
come take a peek.....
the art of re-styling.....
Remember the bench that i picked up at the Flea? Well, I moved the little white dresser that was in front of the window, and placed the bench there, I also got rid of the rug , and by doing that..it opened up the whole room.
And before any of you say "I can't do white with children...................."
my home is full of white, yes it is, and you know what??? It's lived in and loved, so when you walk in the doors, feel free to make yourselves at home.

2 new armchairs and a new sofa, both slip covered from the lovely Ikea.

what a great space kasey!!!
i love your home and all the thoughtful details you add.
tell me though, did you make them wash their sweet little feet first?
congrats to the lucky winners
xo
Your place is beautiful! I want white furniture too and people look at me like I've got two heads when I say it out loud. I don't know what the big deal is. I, personally, don't let my kids wander the house in chocolate covered appendages :)
Congrats to the winners. I do wish it was me. Sigh. Take care.
Love it! Makes me depressed about my family room. Congrats, it looks beautiful!
I am just a little sad I didn't win :{
Love the kids jumping on the couch!!! Only that picture looks like my house :)
I love your decor ~ it's so warm and welcoming.
Jo
Love your space! It looks fresh,bright and airy! Very pretty!
Congrats to those lucky winners!!
Hey Lady! It looks great! I have that same white slipcovered IKEA couch, although I was washing the white slipcover so often I have put it in storage and replaced it with beige UNTIL I can get myself a second white slipcover. You are right, though, they wash up BEAUTIFULLY!
Congrats to the winners.
Have a great Tuesday~
Congrats to the winners {Allegra is going to be so excited :)}clapping!! the change in the room is wonderful loved it before and love it now! The bench is perfect there!!! you are so good at placing furniture...
have a great Tuesday,
LuLu
Looks awesome Kasey! So fresh and new!
I like this a lot better somehow. Seems a lot more open and airy. Casual and inviting, too. That was a lot of adjectives. Love the new white furniture, in other words. :) It wouldn't last a minute with a large grey dog that often has muddy paws and sheds like crazy though.
Oh you bought the couch and chairs~ They look great. I think my problem with the white is just plain OCD. I would be a mess all day watching for spots. So for you props!!!

gorgeous...as always!
I love the mirror on your coffee table with the glass jars. I especially love the glass cloches on top of your armoire!
I love the white on white decorating scheme...makes me want to curl up on your couch and read a good book.
Any tips on what you use to remove stains on those sofas? How do you keep them so white? Special clothing soap or bleach?
Touch of Country: I am a firm believer in slip covered with children and pets. and with white, you just throw in the wash with some bleach.
I also *heart* the little bleach pen that you can dab on little stains and they magically disapear.

What a beautiful new look for spring! I *heart* everything - what a fantastic job! Enjoy!
I love the changes Kasey! I have been eyeing that same sofa from Ikea. It is nice to see it in someones home that has similar( as in almost identical;) taste as me. I might just have to hop off of that fence that I have been riding and buy it! Great job sweetie, as usual:)
WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE NOOOOOOOOOOO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM!!!!!!!!! MY SON JUST CAME IN AND ASKED IF I WAS OKAY BECAUSE I SCREAMED SO LOUD!!!!! AND I AM LOVING WHAT YOU DID WITH YOUR LIVING ROOM!!!!!!
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About time!!!! :-) LR looks great.
Lovin' the slipcovers! I need some asap!
i love it! can i come hang out in there, read a book and then nap on that sofa?
It looks wonderful. The picture of the kids jumping is great! I like the bench in front of the window.
How divine~ It looks like even though you added things, it is simplified. The bench is absolutely marvelous! Finding the two of them was such a prize!
The room look lovely. I love the new arrangement and new furniture. I am thinking about the same sofa, just need to make up my mind, but it is just beautiful in your room. I also love the bench. What a beautiful room you have done. Hugs, Marty
My eyes just got WIDE. My heart just skipped a beat. My jaw just dropped. My hands just hit the computer screen as they attempted to reach through and steal your beautiful bench and entire living room.
I L O V E IT!!!!
I'm totally redoing my living room in white this year. And I'm not telling anyone about it because I don't want them to tell me its a bad idea. Looks so great Kasey! clean lines and all...
Love the slipcovers.. now.. i have mix match furniture in my home...an oversized chair and red couch in the livingroom... i think i should considered the slipcovers.. is it easy to put on? and do they stay on?
Love the bench as well...
Kasey first I am dying laughing at the autographed CD! soo funny! I can't stop laughing I don't know why...ok, deep breath...congrats to the winners!! I am really jealous!! And lastly your living room looks AMAZING!! and I love the kids jumping on the couch, perfect! U r a busy bee..I don't know how you do it all!
Wow, love you new furniture!! What a wonderful living space!
Have a sunny day!

Kasey, I'm freaking out. I um, missed the part where you said I'm a winner of your Lola B's spree!!!!! I was so into your room--Tara told me. SERIOUSLY FREAKING OUT HERE!!!! SOOOOO SOOOO EXCITED I MIGHT PEE MY PANTS (I realize that's a little blunt but honestly!!)
Kasey,
It looks really, really good. A+. I'll even forgive you for not "picking" me for the $250 Anthro giveaway. Hee hee.
Beautifully styled -- the jumping kids add a nice touch too :)
Your room looks beautiful. Gotta love Ikea!
It looks great. I love the two armchairs! If we get the house we want I will need a couple and ikea is probably the only thing that fits in the budget :) Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh my you are so brave with the white couches- but they are so pretty. I love the white furnishings.
I LOVE---YOUR DECOR.I THINK IT'S SHABBY CHIC.I LOVE IT..ANN
Good morning Kasey :)
Your living room looks beautiful! Oh and I'm the one that can't live with white furniture... (raising hand).. slight clutz issue here! LOL
Congratulations to the very lucky winners!
I love that shed in the last post too, but when I read that article I had a hard time believing it would only cost 1000 bucks. We just built a bench in the pantry and it cost $200.. hmmm... I think they're full of it ;)
xoxo,
rue
white slipcovers + washing machine = living with kids. :)
It looks wonderful!
Kasey - I LOVE how you've managed to transform your FAB room, keeping it perfectly Y.O.U. and still making it different!
LOVE seeing where your Ikea chairs went, they couldn't be more perfect.
Congrats to all the winners! My cousin, Allegra, is SO beside herself!
HUGS to you this Tuesday!

Your redesign looks great! The chairs look so comfy, I love how you made a lot of seating in a cozy area. Great changes!
Congrats to the lucky winners!
Oh, I posted your kitchen pic on my blog, thanks again for letting me use it!

Gorgeous! That bench is golden. I am attempting to bring more white into my own home. You're an inspiration.
I really need to get to Ikea. The slip covers look great!
Soooooo soft and pretty. I love it. I want to come over and just sit and read a magazine. ;)
Oh wow a little goes a long way - looks great! I like the new style.
It looks great Kasey! So the sofa has a soft pattern on it but they are all from the same line? Great choices. Love how it all came together.
Love it! White is actually the easiest to clean. Big cheers for IKEA!
What a beautiful room x
I thought the first picture was perfect...until I saw the rest...speechless!
And the white slipcovers...my dream to own beautiful white slipcovered furniture!
You are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
The restyling looks awesome. And the bench looks great in that spot by the window. The white is like a breath of fresh air.
Right now I'm listening to the CD that I won from your past giveaway. I'm lovin' it. Thanks so much.
What a lovely room you've got there! Thank you for sharing!
And big congrats to the winners!
It turned out beautiful! Love it!
Your room looks gorgeous! I too love white slipcovered sofas...and with two boys..it works perfectly. I just wash, dry and...voila...sofas that look like new.
Beautiful! The good thing about white...bleach! Makes me wish I had stuck with my original plan for going light in our family room - someday...
Love the new look! I'm looking for the armchairs at IKEA! Thanks for the tip! Can you tell me where you found your coffee table? I love it!!! :)
I. LOVE. THAT. ROOM. I'm guessing that you just ooze design and creativity...any chance I can get you to come to Mesa AZ?...w could use a little Kasey out here. I'm just sayin'!!
:)
I love the white slipcovers, and that you let your kids jump on your sofas! What a cool mom!
where did my comment go ???
ugh!!!
WOW- that's like my little dream cottage. Someday I hope to build and own a bed and breakfast- I would love for it to look similar to your amazing room. I LOVE it all- especially the mirror and chandelier!
Can you come decorate my house?! :)
We have all white couches, chairs, covers, you name it. Our son is used to them and to any ones' surprise our couch is white as ever...I love LOVE white! As you already know! So glad to finally see what you got at IKEA! Next time you go again, you should totally let me know, so that we can meet. I live like 15 mins away from IKEA>
Your room looks beautiful! I absolutely LOVE that bench in front of your window!
Hugs from Eventually Cottage.
What a nice restyle! It looks oh so inviting and cozy:)
...lovely living space. So very cozy! Can I come and visit?
;)

Kasey,
It's just simply lovely, but of course:)

Gorgeous. Love the white. Your restyle looks so fresh for the upcoming warm seasons.
Really pretty! I love the white. Someday I will paint everything white. Not yet though.
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Love that wall color.
Outstanding...the room looks much more open and inviting...Darn you used that bench....I saw it first thing when I looked at the picture.
Was in Anthro last friday and couldn't help but think of you and giggle. They had some good sales.
Janet
Very pretty! I was just admiring that sofa at Ikea today.
Wow,it looks so fresh!!!! Great job!!!!! Sara
WOW!!! I LOVE it all! It looks amazing. I loved it before, but it looks great now too! I loved all those little bird houses and such, where did you put them?? Just curious.
It looks like a page from Romantic Home or something. Love it.
can we trade homes =)
Looks great! Love what you've done. That fabulous bench sure was a great find, eh? We also have white slipcovered sofa and sofa chairs in our living room. Nothing beats the look of white. Just to make life easier though, I'm getting a second set of slipcovers.
Love the new look! The white is outstanding, and your bench looks adorable under the window.
Is this your living room?! Really? Oh wow, it's amazing! I love it!! You made a great job!
Hugs!
man those benches were such a good find!
Such charming music. I could stay here and just relax.
Have a great day!
Oh, loved visiting your blog for the first time today! I remember well the days of kids jumping on the furniture. And falling off too!
I'll be back! Karen
yes! you can do white!
except maybe in the tablecloth ;)
Oh my goodness, your decorating style is just about the prettiest thing ever! Your living room looks positively smashing!
i love the room. and i've got a white couch with a one year old and people think i'm crazy but i love it. and yes it will be lived in but even more beautiful because of that!
I love your makeover...it looks amazing! I'm a big believer in white slipcovers with the kiddos...it's amazing what bleach can do. :) Enjoy your restyled space.
I am needing simple roll up shades like the ones with the cute scallop in your living room. I love your wall color in there as well. Could you possibly spill the beans if you haven't already???
Thanks,
Christina
