The living room window decorated with an upholstered valence or pelmet in a yellow and blue garden print ads warmth and color to a North facing room. The pelmet is put together in a layered matting-style method. The blue mattress tick stripe slipcovers on the sectional are repeated in the edging of the pelmet. Folded cloth shades in a yellow, white, and blue stripe are tied up beneath. Accent pieces in blue and white ceramics and mustard colored tulipieres, and a birdfeeder (visible in photo) enhance the color scheme.

In the entryway, a harvest gold and sage plaid on white covers the pillow on the boot bench. This repeats the cream siding and green shutters on the outside of the house. A bird cage with a goldfinch ornament adds interest to the opening between the entryway and breakfast nook.
