Dining Room to Sitting Room (Progress): Paint, paint, a little DIY and some bargain shopping later, and we have a cozy “adult” sitting room for coffee and cocktails!

      You’re too funny- We always love comments! I actually made it using various fonts and had it large-scale printed at an office supply store. If you’re interested shoot us an email at sypsiedesigns@gmail.com and I might be able to send it to you or give you the font names!

      Hi Carole! Thanks so much! Unfortunately the bench was purchased from Homegoods and the bookshelf is an old IKEA line, but I’ve seen the bench recently in store if that helps at all! Thanks so much for stopping by!

    I love what you’ve done with your home. My husband and I are in the process of fixing up ours. Would you mind sharing where you purchased your reclaimed mantle?

    Thank you.

    Love the warm wood tones with the gray, you’re amazing at combining color combinations. Can you tell me what kind of wood and stain that was used behind the bed and the office? was it applied like the ship lap in the dining room?
    TIA

    Love what you did in this small bathroom. I saw this room in the BHG Nov 2019 issue! Would you be able to tell me where you purchased the light fixture faucet and cabinet hardware from?
    Thank you!
