A few weeks ago Mr. Larson and I spent an entire day deep cleaning and redecorating a few rooms in our home. We recently acquired three new rooms and have become a tiny bit home obsessed! First things first... we took the sunroom (which was previously used as a band practice space by Mr. Larson's little brother) and turned it into a bright and cheerful breakfast nook. It's my new favorite room in our home!
Here's a before and after peek. I love sunrooms because of the natural light and happy vibe. We hung twinkle lights so it's pretty cozy at night too. Perfect for sipping hot chocolate.
My favorite part of the room (pre makeover) was the vintage records displayed above the windows. We kept this part of the decor and added a few new records (the David Bowie and Queen records are gifts Jeremy gave me last year).
And because I tend to think that every small accomplishment in life deserves a pretty reward Emma and I made a cute little dessert display on our day off yesterday!
Guess what we're up to today?... Redoing our studio space at Red Velvet. I can't wait to share photos in the near future because it's quite a crazy project. I'm super excited to have a new work environment. I think it will be the perfect way to start the new year. Love, Elsie




Lovely spot. Sunny and cheerful. Really like the album jackets, have a few of those.

This is so cute. Your dessert display reminds me of my mom's Candy Tray. Every year the day after Thanksgiving, the candy tray comes out. It is fillied with homeade and store bought Christmas candy poured into an assortment of pretty glass cups, bowls and vases. The tray is out until Christmas and it is constantly full! Magical and dangerous!
