Getting a savory taste of Russia is easy in Texas, thanks to the\u00a0d\u00e9cor<\/span>\u00a0throughout the home of Sherry and David\u00a0Sivils<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two lived in Moscow for an entire year, and it didn\u2019t take long for alluring Russian influences\u00a0to catch Sherry\u2019s eye. She was, after all, an interior designer for 23 years until she retired. And although she may have retired from her career, she certainly didn\u2019t retire her sense of style!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sherry brought all kinds of goodies back to their lovely home, which happened to be the latest stop on Aunt Laurie\u2019s in Your Home tour<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the requirements for Aunt Laurie visiting your home is to have\u00a0d\u00e9cor<\/span>\u00a0from Laurie\u2019s as part of the mix. And we found Laurie\u2019s\u00a0d\u00e9cor<\/span>\u00a0makes a fine accompaniment to the Russian flair peppered throughout the Sivils\u2019 breathtaking abode.<\/span><\/p>\n

First Impression<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Walk into the home and you\u2019re instantly greeted with a sense of welcoming grandeur. While the\u00a0d\u00e9cor<\/span>\u00a0is exquisite, it is also warm and cozy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Office\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The office is definitely a highlight. It\u2019s also a room where Laurie\u2019s gets a big nod for providing just\u00a0the right stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sherry and David searched everywhere for the perfect chandelier to pull the whole look together. Yep, they found it at Laurie\u2019s! They also found the chairs that grace the room, Sherry\u2019s favorite finds from Laurie\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another focal point is the Sivils\u2019 Travel Tree, where the globe-trotting couple adds an ornament for each place they travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Living Room\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Head to the living room and you\u2019re heading into an awe-inspiring space. The solid wood egg on the living room table features the fairy tales of Alexander\u00a0Pushkin<\/span>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

No Russian-inspired home is complete without a spectacular tea set. The Sivils\u2019 set is\u00a0Gzhel<\/span>\u00a0pottery, hand-painted in Moscow.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And check out the dining room display case, stocked with small plates a la Faberge.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Master Bedroom<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here you find a supremely regal air,\u00a0and with very good reason! The bedroom\u00a0ceiling is styled after Catherine the Great\u2019s palace. Bet sweet dreams are always on the agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Not one square inch of the Sivils home was overlooked. Here is a peek at bathrooms, guest bedrooms, even hallways and outdoor spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n
