Most of you know by now that my mom lives with us. We had a full walkout above ground basement that we made into a mother/daughter apt for my mom after my dad passed away and she sold their home. Back in October I gave you a tour of her bedroom which you can see here. Right before Christmas she went and ordered new furniture for her living room from Ethan Allen (love that store)! The furniture arrived and she put her room back together so now I can finally give you Part 2.
She bought a new couch and chairs, rug and small accent table. The coffee table and pie table in between the red chairs she bought from Ethan Allen 45 years ago when they first got married.
This painting also came from their and is from back then too. Some things never go out of style. I love this painting!
Here is the new little accent table.
This corner hutch my was made by my dad and used to be in their dining room.
Love Love her new chairs and ottoman! You will notice she is a big hummel collector.
Stay tuned for Part 3! Mom's dining room and kitchen. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great week!
Would love if you followed me on Linky!

How special for you and your Mom to have the ability to be as close as you can, but also you both have privacy. Love your Mom's chairs--and that painting is just lovely...
I know she must be so proud of her new furniture. It is so pretty! Ethan Allen makes such good quality furniture too. I think that is so nice that you give her her own apartment in your home. Looking forward to seeing part 3.
What a lovely spot there for your Mom.
My Mom did the same thing when she moved from Manitoba to Ontario.
Kept some keepsakes and bought new furniture.
Very cozy and beautiful is your mother's apartment. I saw right away her Hummel collection. I love her Ethan Allen new and old things, yes, EA has fabulous furniture. Martina, so glad you have your mother sooo close. Thanks for the tour and can't wait til the next one.

What a great space, Martina, and I love your Mom's new furniture! It's so nice that she gets such great natural light, too.
I'm sure your Mom loves her new room. You are a good daughter.
Martina- It is just beautiful! I love it and I'll bet she also loves it. xo Diana
How wonderful for you and your mother to have such a wonderful relationship and for you to welcome her into your home. That's a lovely space you have provided and she has decorated it beautifully. Linda

Love this room, especially the ottoman. Her choice of colors are cheerful on traditional styling.
Your mom's apartment is lovely with her new pieces of furniture. It all looks very cozy, and I'm sure she is happy to be living with you. We built my mom an apartment in our back yard about 2 years ago. She feels very safe and secure in it.
How nice to create a space for your mom. Love those chairs!
Martina, her apartment is so pretty. Can't beat Ethan Allen for quality that lasts forever. My mom just furnished her family room with Ethan Allen furniture.
What a lovely place for your Mom!! Everything is absolutely beautiful.

Lovely space, my favorite pieces are the red and white chairs, can't believe they could possibly be that old. Momma sure has style and great taste:)
Martina, Your mom's apartment is so pretty and feminine. Is the little table between the red chairs a 'cricket table'? It looks like one my aunt has from Ethan Allen and she's had it for-eva. It so perfect for a small space. Love Ethan Allen furniture. Looking forward to seeing the rest of her apartment.
WOW Martina, you would never know that is a basement. So pretty and I love the furniture. EA is the very best and lasts a life time.
Your mom's living room is beautiful! Do I see red and turquoise? Very pretty tables and the corner cabinet is wonderful. It must make her so happy to have something that your dad made there with her.
She has great taste.
Hugs, Cindy
What a pretty apartment your mom has! I love her new furniture.
Mom knows best-always pick quality furniture and it will last forever.This room just makes you want to curl up with a good book.
A very lovely place for your Mom. Found your blog via DIY by Design and have become your latest follower. Would enJOY you coming for a visit on my blog & joining.
It's great to have an apartment for your mom right down stairs. Her new Ethan Allen furniture is great. My mom has a sofa from Ethan Allen that is more than 30 years old and still looks great.
She has such great style! I love the new furniture and the old pieces too. Buying quality definitely pays off. The piece by your Father is beautiful too.
Thanks for sharing.

So pretty and cheerful ~ love that! I love Ethan Allen too. The armoire we have in our bedroom was purchased there as a floor model years ago and I still love it!
Just beautiful!!!
Your mom is so lucky, to have a daughter and son in law, who want her to live so near. But I'm sure she knows that. If not, please tell her that "Auntie sezzzzzz..." :-)

She has a beautiful living area.LOVE that cabinet.
I've been looking for a sofa for awhile now. Love the fabric she chose. Do you know it's name or number? It's kind of hard to find traditional fabrics and I'll be finding an Ethan Allen in my area this next week! It's a beautiful room. Mimi
