Rife with Stripes

Stripes are subtly layered throughout this cozy living room thanks to rustic beams, soft goods, and an unexpected zebra rug. Because it's a small space—the entire house is only 1,000 square feet!—the homeowner utilized every inch of wall space to showcase her favorite finds.

The Auerbach home is awash with color, and the living/music room combo is no exception thanks to a 1900-inspired Art Nouveau tulip wallcovering and a bright red rug. A vintage parasol-turned-light fixture adds another pop of color.

Casual Vibe

A mix of vintage and catalog finds lends a casual vibe in this Georgia farmhouse's living room, where pine bookcases rescued from a demolished elementary school keep company with a new linen sofa. An abstract painting by artist—and CL General Store vendor Deann Hebert—adds texture above the chipped mantel.

The living room of this New Hampshire cabin is furnished with a gigantic wicker sectional sofa from Restoration Hardware that invites the entire family to hang out for games or a movie.
