Living Room
The Owl and the Pussycat
I picked up a couple of new accessories for the end tables in the living room.
The Owl (a vintage cookie jar)…
…and the Pussycat.
Old Waiting Room Chairs
They’ve been in the living room for a while now, but I don’t think they’ll be staying. I’ve had those chairs for years though (you’ve probably seen them pop up in other areas of my house too), so I thought I’d give them a try.
I might not bother with making a slipcover for our […]
New Dining Room Table
I alluded to our new table earlier this month, and my patterned vase was photographed on it, but I hadn’t taken any proper pictures until this morning.
Brandon and I had a number of gift cards to west elm and Pottery Barn from Christmas, so we decided to combine them for a more spendy […]
The Bench I Want
That’s the Simone Bench, which can be custom upholstered and is on sale at Ballard Designs for $200. I’d love the bench with Rose Checker fabric by Hable Construction. Alternately, I would also looooove the following:
Sky Collection: Pie in the Sky, from Vanessa Arbuthnott
Sigh. That fabric is gorgeous.
Brandon likes to remind me […]
Orleans Rug
I thought I could cross something off my list already, but now I’m not so sure.
The new rug in that last photo happens to be the Orleans Rug from Crate & Barrel. I’m smitten.
The problem is that it’s not really big enough for the living room.
It would be gorgeous in the 8×10 size, but […]
The Living Room: A 3D Rendering
Wow. Um. This may be the dorkiest thing I’ve done yet.
I’ve created a 3D rendering of my living room (to scale), which I populated with furniture, animated, set to music, and uploaded to YouTube.
Enjoy:
My, What a GIANT TV You Have!
My sister-in-law called to see if we wanted their plasma television, since her husband had just bought a new one. How generous (thank you)! Brandon was very excited, and we got the new TV today.
It’s HUGE (a 42 inch screen).
Unfortunately, the new TV is actually wider than the stand we have. It […]
Tao Console Table
I’m trying to think of a space for this table from Room and Board.
It would fit in with our home, but I don’t know where it will fit in our home!
We do need a spot to put our mail, keys, spare change, and the like. Our home doesn’t have a true entryway (the one […]
