We are so happy to have Sara Charlesworth from Chalk White Arrow here to share her lovely home with us today! 
"Our home is a small two-bedroom apartment sitting in the heart of salt lake city. It is only about 900 square feet which came as a bit of a transition when moving from our previous 1,200 square foot home. Our humble abode was built in the 1920s which gives it bits of old character and charm scattered throughout. We decided to keep all the walls white in our home (with the exception of a few walls that we painted in black chalkboard paint) in order to keep the feeling within light and airy." 
"My favorite thing in the room was actually free and came to me by accident. After my great grandmother passed away a bit ago, a little bag of hers filled with bits of extra yarn rolled into little balls that she use to use to crochet came into my possession. Among the balls of extra yarn was a little circle of yellow crocheted yarn in a sort of lace pattern. It was one of the first things I put up on our walls after moving to our current place. I'm sure this is not what she had in mind for this extra crocheted bit but I absolutely love it there." 
"We have lived in our current home for 3 and a half months. When we first moved in, all the walls and ceilings were painted an awful shade of yellow and blue. There was not an actual dedicated dining space and only one small pantry, besides a teeny bedroom closet, for any storage. Since moving in we have painted all the walls and ceilings which took much longer than we expected. We have turned the "second bedroom" into our dining room in order to have a place to sit and eat. We have also created our own storage within our home, mostly by curtaining off a portion of the dining room with white curtains in order to hide our extra stuff." 
"We end up using our living room for pretty much everything. We watch movies and television here, we read here, play with kramer (our dog) here. We often find ourselves eating our meals here. It is exactly that a "living" room where we spend the most time together as a family. I love this room." 
Thanks so much, Sara, for sharing your home with us! You can visit Sara at her blog Chalk White Arrow or find her on Instagram. xo.

This is so inspiring and colorful.

Love this new series! Great inspiration.
I love the colors she used. Fun and flirty without being too feminine. My husband used to be very concerned with my decorating because I am such a frilly person. But I think he has gotten used to the fact that I actually do compromise with him to try to make him feel at home too. He trusts me now, but I still fight to keep the balance. I feel like the colors and patterns in this home are so effortlessly perfect for both husband and wife!!
I love the white deer head! I have 2 deer skulls from my dad hunting, which look wicked, but this one seems a little more vegan-friend friendly.
I love the bl&w pillow! Where did you get it?
this is so inspirational. love it.
Relaxing home!
White with touch of color, great!
I love this home! I’m experiencing some real home envy right now. Feeling the urge to redecorate
They have style! A nice place to be.
Greetings from Madrid, Spain.

I can’t believed you did a total makeover of the room in just three and a half months! It would take me a year to get a room to look that good.
The balls of yarn are such a cute and sentimental touch.
Kramer is a cutie pie, that’s for sure!

I adore this! As a military family, we are usually not allowed to paint, or are moving on too soon that it is too much of a hassle to return it back to it’s original state, her pops of color against white gave me hope!
Love the chevron rug! Where from?

It is a beautiful home, with a very ‘warm’ use of white, wood and spot colors here and there. I also like details such as the yellow flowers in the besutiful glass vase, or the things on the wall, or the geometric pattern carpets. Well donE!
I love the neutral room with the pops of color!
I love the casual feeling of these photos! The home is beautiful.
Love,

Beautiful home. I loved that colorful tea cup and it adds so much character to the place.
Gosh, I want a place like that so bad! My boyfriend would just need it to be more masculine for us to redecorate like that 🙂

where’s the yellow crocheted lace she spoke of? couldn’t find it in the pictures
To say I’m obsessed with all of the neat patterns and that accent rug would be a major understatement. Love the character of this home!
I’m obsessed with the patterns and colors against the white walls! So inspirational and beautiful but totally liveable!

I love this place because I think lots of people have small apartments and do not really know how to decorate, I have two kids and a medium apartment and I have trouble learning how to organize and store to make it look clutter free and beautiful !

What a lovely home. And I can just imagine (having lived in SLC for a few years) what a neat apartment building that must be – they have such charming neighborhoods there! 🙂
Love all the white upholstery and wood together!

love the mix of patterns and new and vintage pieces. The TV stand is gorgeous! It’s the perfect piece to find that sets the personality for the room.
I also have to add I love the white poodle! We have poodles and poodle mixes in my family. They are the funniest, energetic, and smartest dogs, second to my pug of course lol

Absolutely gorgeous! I am completely in love with white/cream walls at the moment. It is so fresh! Loving this feature… it’s always nice to have a snoop into someones home.. hehe.xx
I love how it’s all different colours and textures… yet it all works in one room. Beautiful! Definitely giving me inspiration right now…
