Long before they were married, Christine (AKA @_forthehome) and Shawn would find themselves spending their weekends decorating Shawn’s teeny tiny starter home in Old Brooklyn, Cleveland, Ohio. It wasn’t a planned thing, they would simply suddenly find they had paint brushes in their hands or were roaming a flea market or spending the day renovating an entire room! Fast forward several years and the duo have several renovations under their belt as well as a wonderful home full of treasured finds and an entire nursery of plants. Did I mention that they also have seven pets?! Welcome to the wonderful moss green, white, beige and brown world of Christine and Shawn! 

Christine spent a day painting the fireplace (AKA known as ‘Mama’!) in a blend of greenblack and urbane bronze paint from Sherwin Williams. Love the results – and love the idea of putting my mind to a project and just getting it done – I’ve got SO many projects I keep putting off at home, how about you?! 

The Abstract 835* print is similar. 

We have the same rubber tree plant in our house – it was originally Per’s grandfathers. I tell you – that thing can survive anything, and it grows so fast! It looks really pretty in the corner of this room!

I’m currently working on a project with Velux and it’s taught me so much about skylights and how they can completely transform a space. Look how they flood the bedroom with light! Do you have any in your home? 

There’s a chance this picture is from Shawn and Christine’s previous home, but I couldn’t resist including it anyway as that mirror is absolutely beautiful! Little wonder it went completely viral on instagram! I’ve just seen it’s on sale right now too – will someone snap it up on my behalf?! 

Such a cosy home! And it’s really inspired me to get going on my own home. Hmmm. Where to start?!

While in Ohio – how about also checking out:

I’m at home with Allie today as she’s not feeling very well, poor thing! We’re under a big blanket and it’s raining outside  – I’m typing  – and she’s watching her favourite YouTubers (do your kids only watch YouTube these days too?). Not very high brow, but kind of cosy for a Tuesday in sick bay!
