Living Room Currently

So when we moved in, the whole house essentially was that builder-grade tan/brown thing. We pretty much instantly had the whole first floor painted Stonington Gray and put in recessed lighting. We also scrapped those traditional curtain rods ASAP. It took it from this:

BTW: They must have photoshopped the heck out of that fireplace because it was never gray like that. I would have loved it if it was.

To this (I mean after months of furniture shopping and sourcing):

And a few shots of the space at night (check out that sunset):

Where is your coffee table? Or ottoman? Or side table for the couch? Yeah. Still working on those. I have a ton of ideas for the side table, the ottoman is on order from West Elm, and I am going to pick up some various poufs along the way for the side chairs (all three of them). I also am working on my throw pillow situation, but if LB sees me bring another throw pillow in the house in the next month, he might just lose it. :) 

Here are all the sources for what we've got so far:

1: ART LEDGE X 2: CB2;

2: WALL SCONCES: WORLD MARKET

3: BLUE CHAIRS X2: OVERSTOCK

4: CURTAINS AND RODS: WAYFAIR

5: STORAGE CONSOLES: THRIFT STORE, CHALK PAINTED AND ANGLE PLATES AND LEGS ADDED

6: INK SIDE CHAIR: MACY'S

7: THROW: AMAZON

8: SIDE TABLE: WAYFAIR

9: COUCH: INTERIOR DEFINE

10: SIDE TABLE WHITE: AMAZON

I also have no idea why the fonts just did what they did up there, but just click wildly and the source list should work. :) Happy shopping. 

Monday Musings 008

I am loving this article by Emily Henderson that lists out 75 (seventy five!) affordable accent chairs. They are all under $500 and MANY of them were on my short list. Also check out her lighting resources and sleeper sofa roundups. Good stuff y'all. 

Modern paper napkins for your next party, cause who has time to wash cloth ones? 

Because I am always browsing, I came across this modern, $70 guest bed set up on JcPenny. Yeah. JCP. Still out there fighting the good fight. 

The dark blue chair from Macy's came and it is THE CHAIR to curl up in and read a book. Thank goodness. 

I've been slowly coming out of my "I don't care what I look like cause I have a newborn" phase, and have been slowly adding things to my beauty wishlist/orders from Amazon, cause I am still a mom that has no time to go to the mall. I have been nearly or totally paraben free for about 8 years and so most, if not all things, on this list will not have parabens. Here's what I am digging:

We also got this dog crate for Skip... cause he is a jerk... who pees now... indoors. 

And finally... tomorrow I am showing you pictures of the living room furnished... for now. :) Yay.
