I know that I painted my thrift store table white to add to my living room and I must say, I am happy that I did. I prefer it white. However, it is back in my family room because the other day I purchased a new piece for my home. This is a rarity and I must say, what with my new Safavieh rug and now my new ottoman/coffee table, I have gone on quite a spending spree. It is just that I saw it there – in HomeGoods – and it was such a great price ($150)…I just didn’t want to leave it.
I have put it into my living room and it is perfect. Now I am on the hunt for either one large comfy chair or two smaller club chairs for the room. They will have to wait until I pay off this latest splurge! Here are a few pics to share. Oh, in my dining room I sold the Burgundy Buffet and now have my white console table in its place. The revolving furniture continues!
Before you view the pics I must share that my dog needs his own blog. The second he hears my camera, Lucky races over and – I swear – he poses. He insists on sitting directly in front of whatever I am taking a picture of and stares straight into my camera. He has become quite the prima donna!
The Cutout Table is almost done and I shall share tomorrow!
Your home is lovely. May I ask where you purchased the slipcover?
Hi Linda, I actually had it made to fit – I’m very lucky as my mother-in-law is a professional seamstress! The sofa was from Craigslist and is down filled, another great find ?
Totally fabulous!!
Thanks Liz!
The navy blue wall color in your dining room is just lovely. And lucky is adorable. i really enjoy your blog. I just recently got into restoring furniture and love reading your posts and watching your videos. Great work
Thank you, Shari! I’m so glad you are enjoying it and starting to have fun with furniture restoration – careful as it can be addicting lol!
Susan, I need your help! I love your living room and the color of it….so.. I’m going to be getting my own lil apt soon, but there is a lot of light that comes into it (even for a one bed room apt -it’s a garage apt – apt on top and garage on bottom) I love reds, khakis and the blue you have in your living room..what would you recommend I do? use a darker color on the wall – like a khaki (but with little yellow in the color) ? just wanted to ask you and get your thoughts. I have pics I could email you 🙂
oh lordy.I feel bad.. I spelled your name wrong.. Suzanne! sorry.. was in a hurry I suppose LOL
Hi Stephanee, As long as the space gets a lot of light you can go with a bolder/darker color but keep it warm. Or, you can pick a neutral and add pops of color in the curtains and pillows and accessories, etc. Remember it is just paint and easy to change. I like a color called Balanced Beige by SW. It’s one darker than my living room. Google image it and see what you think. Cheers!
Just think how fortunate you are! Most photographers and designers have to PAY for a pet trained to pose and sit in a setting as part of the “warm homey feeling” of the photo. You get yours for free. well, minus food, housing, toys, vet bills, etc. Maybe you should just put him to work as a canine model. Love the new ottoman/table. the room looks fabulous.
Thanks, Connie! Yes, he will soon start demanding a fee lol! It is pretty funny how he “turns it on” when he hears my camera lol!
Oh my goodness Suzanne, thank you for the chuckle this Friday afternoon. He definitely needs his own blog, give him some doggie clothes that match the rooms you’re photographing and he can be the next doggie Fashionista blogger. I really love the new ottoman/coffee table – the colors, texture, and scale are perfect with all the other elements in the room, especially the rug.
Hi Marie, thanks so much! Your comment on how a plush ottoman would look great in the room helped me decide! Thanks!
Hello there!
Nice pics of your babies!
I love your dining room wall color… Would you be kind to share the brand & color name of the paint you used there or is a secret?
Love seeing your creations.
Thanks,
Sonie
