      I agree. Mom and Madison created some good memories and hopefully bonded. I hope Madison isn't one of the "entitled" feeling kids that truly don't have the slightest concept about living at or below their means, because they've never had to "make do" or "go without" as previous generations have had to endure. Some may have gone through the "Great Recession" but not the "Great Depression" both of which were extremely tough to go through. It developed a wonderful sense of gratitude and a resilience with extremely creative solutions on how to "get by" and a good part of the time, learn to be thankful for "a roof over your head, a bed under your butt (even if it was a mattress full of straw on the floor piled with old blankets for a pallet), food in your stomach (even if it was the same food EVERY meal) you at least weren't going hungry, a pot to pass in, and a window to throw it out." Which in those times, especially the "Great Depression" was considered being well off.
      It's kinda scary to wonder what would happen if the kids that didn't experience either Era would do if that or worse were to happen again, with their feeling of entitlement fully ingrained. Even though my kids grew up lower middle class, meaning sometimes it was paycheck to paycheck with needs met but no room for wants, even they didn't have it hard like I did having only one working, uneducated parent, a disabled, stay-at-home mom, whom both had lived through the Great Depression and had no way to better our lives. But as kids we didn't realize we were living a good deal below the poverty line because we had both parents raising us, food, a house, bed, clothing and shoes so we had no idea that we were poor. Once we got older, like high school and especially college age we learned then that it wasn't like that for other families and desired to do more for ourselves and our children and Grands. But no matter the income level growing up as long as your parents weren't wealthy, all kids figured out there were people that had it better than they did and worse than they did and there was gratitude taught at any economic level cause either parents or grandparents or both had survived the Great Depression.

    I think this makeover is stunning-it's a home-so inviting and beautiful. The term "Grandma Chic" or grandma whatever it is, doesn't seem right. This room is an example of Traditional with a modern flare. It's very classic and tasteful and the only thing I would add is an ottoman for the two houndstooth chairs to share so you can put your feet up and relax! Great job-and this young couple is SO lucky to have an interior decorator to help them. (you win Mother-in-Law of the year!)

    When my husband and I started out we had donations from family and finds from local auctions and some we brought from England. A lot of the finds came from the estate of Pearl Hutton, she is still in our lives 40 years later as my daughter wanted them for her place. They may be over 70 years old but look good with the new bookcases from IKEA. We never achieved the wonderful ambiance that you created. ❤
