70s Chic TV Hideaway

Can we get behind putting the TV back in armoires yet? Because sometimes it’s a good solution (she says as she thinks of the troublemaking pair of kittens that want to climb the face of our television). I like the scale and sort of 70s/Jacobean/Tudor style of this one, but I’d paint it black.

Let’s do a living room design! Because I wanted to design something with a dolphin mirror and that delicious velvet sofa.

1. Avril Table Lamp with Linen Taper Shade, Crate & Barrel – Modern shape, great color. The color I painted my dining room ceiling, actually.
2. Oval Tray in Orange Leopard, Dana Gibson – Rawr.
3. Melange Pill Form Sconce, Kelly Wearstler, Circa Lighting – The light glows through these in the softest, most beautiful way.
4. Entrance Poster, Fine Little Day – A little askew, but it beckons. I’m into it.
5. Aurelia Embroidery Fabric (for Pillows), Schumacher – Perfect for one long lumbar pillow.
6. Misha 24″ Silk Velvet Pillow, Jayson Home – I would need to verify that the color works with the sofa color if truly pulling this together, but we’re assuming it does and it looks amazing.
7. Love Joy Bliss Poof, Universal Furniture – SO stinkin’ cute. A pair of these, obviously, because they’re better in multiples.
8. Cossette Media Cabinet (Painted Black), Ballard Designs – I see an armoire* and I want to paint it black.
9. Paint, Benjamin Moore, Dinner Party AF – Rich red. Dare I say 90s red? It’s back.
10. Entwined Dolphins Mirror, Alice Lane Home Collection – This has been on my wish list for a few years. I don’t have a spot for it, so into this make-believe room it goes.
11. French Knot Drapery Panel (Ivory/Flax), Ballard Designs – Plain but pretty with texture.
12. Natural Wood Console Table, West Elm – Like an Eames molded plywood folding screen, but you know, as a table. The room needed more organic lines and wood grain.
13. Bloke Sofa (Ochre Velvet), Blu Dot – Long and sleek, but it looks friendly. You can see it, right? It’s a friendly sofa!
14. The Amie, UrbanStems – Pretty. Even the vase is nice.
15. Santoro White Quartz Coffee Table, CB2 – What a cutie this coffee table is. And the materials are echoed in the sconce and console table. Cohesiveness.
16. Maven Rug, Lulu and Georgia – I’ve been looking at so many rugs everyday in search of one for the dining room. This one is too nice to get food dropped on, but perfect for a living room.

*Eh? Eeehhhh? (I’m nudging you with my elbow and waggling my eyebrow.) I never left Team TV in the Armoire. Not in every situation, since flat screens are so unobtrusive now, but I do like a big honkin’ piece of furniture to anchor a room.
