Today, Krystin McCourt is here to share her lovely open living room and dining area with us!
"When we walked into our home for the first time two years ago, it was this space my husband and I instantly fell in love with. The light, the ceiling, the rock fireplace. We knew it would be the perfect back drop for our little family to live and grow. We live in Edmonton, Alberta, and some of my favourite moments in this house have been cuddling up in front of the fireplace with my loves during the (very long) cold, dark winter months, sipping tea and listening to records."
"Our living/dining room is definitely the most used space in our home. It's rarely ever tidy with Star Wars Legos and crayons between the couch cushions, cheddar bunnies and receiving blankets on the floor, and fabric scraps on the tables. But I'm okay with that—most days."
"Although we haven't been here long, we feel very much at home. This space is filled with meaning: wedding and ultrasound photos, paintings and volcano science projects. I have tea cups and milk glass mugs filled with beeswax candles and tiny succulents."
"My favourite and most important item in this room is our photo albums. We don't have many. I need to get around to printing most of the last 10 years worth of photos… But the few we do have are precious to me for obvious reasons. I feel incredibly fortunate to have any of this. A safe, cozy space to come home to each and every day. Thousands of people in our province have lost their homes due to flooding over the past few days, and my heart goes out to them."
Thank you so much, Krystin, for sharing your space with us! You can find more of Krystin and her adorable family over at her blog Sappy Apple or at her shop . xo.

I love that garland! And I love that the space just radiates zen. Seems like it would be such a lovely space to unwind or find a little relief in the middle of a busy day.

Really like that gray paint color! Any idea of what it is??
This has to be one of my favorite At Home posts you’ve featured. I love the floor and the fireplace – I can see how they fell in love with this gorgeous home.

I love all of their furniture. Basically this is my dream living room.
Her house is beautiful, and my heart jumped a beat when she said Edmonton! Yay Canada! I live pretty close in Calgary, AB and I appriciate that she mentioned the flooding. It’s been devastating.
Thank you for sharing your home!
It feels just like home. Comfy!

Gorgeous! I’m in love with that fireplace…the whole space looks so cozy.
Looks fab, really nice! 🙂
beautiful, beautiful home! i love how comfy it looks & she’s got some great taste in seating 🙂
Does she have a tutorial for that Chevron crocheted blanket? I’ve done a similar blanket with the braided sections, but it was just with straight rows.
Gorgeous home! All the details are amazing, especially love the fabric flag banner!
what a lovely home, I love the feel of it : )
Such a lovely house, the tea-cup succulents are awesome.

that bunting out of vintage material/sheets is brilliant. now if only i could bring myself to cut some up haha…until then i’ll just adore hers!
Have I told you how much I love this series? I love this series.
This featured home is so simple, yet so stunning. The shots of the bumblebee cup and the castle are my favorites!
These little glances into intimate lives always make me smile.

What a cozy and warm looking home. This is exactly the type of environment I want to create for my (someday) family.
I think this might by my favorite “At Home” yet. I love the natural light and the soft color pallet.
Such beautiful, cool and neutral colors. It looks comfortable and homey. 🙂
Thanks so much for featuring Canadian homes! It’s so cool to see someone from my hometown on one of my favourite blogs – something I didn’t think I’d see happen! Love love love the “At Home With” series!
I love that dining table and chairs! Beautiful space!
Molly from Mint Atelier
Wow! Gorgeous. I love the dining area and the pop of color hanging from the ceiling!
I love the grey walls in contrast to the wooden floor!

I really like how the grey/natural color theme is accented with a little green here and there. And the fireplace seems to be great!
nice
What a beautiful space. I always look forward for these features on your blog.
LOVELY!! My favorite house tour yet! Lots of inspiration for me as we just moved into our own home!
I love it! Also, I’m totally obsessed with poufs and jealous of people who have them. By the time I get one they will be out of style, but I won’t care! Hah. But that living room looks so inviting and fun!
I adore this, I love the little tea cup plant and the banner and the castle. It’s amazing.
