The Living Room Finale



Hi, everyone!

I hope that your Easter weekend was blessed!

I've been showing you my living room and the changes that I've made.

In my last post here, I showed you my new coffee table vignette...




...and also the new vignette on the table in the corner...




I've already shown you our newly painted tv armoire...




...and the area between the couch and loveseat...




And now I'm finally showing you one last small area of my living room.

This little piece of furniture is still one of my favorite finds.  No one has been able to tell me what it was intended for, but I love its size, patina, and unusual storage compartments.  (The bottom two 'doors' are hinged.)




It fits perfectly into a little niche beside the fireplace.




I created a new vignette on top of it starting with a silver tray, then I added a Santos doll (which Keith thinks is creepy but I love!) Next I added a chippy architectural candlestick, and then a small floral in an urn-type pot.




I kept the clock face hanging on the chicken wire window frame, and the French sign hung above the window.




And that completes the living room tour!




I hope that you enjoyed!




Thanks so much for stopping by!




Have a fantastic day! :)

Living Room Vignettes



Hi, everyone!

I've been showing you the changes and tweaks that I've made to our living room.

I showed you the newly painted armoire here...




...then the drawer unit beside my couch here...





And today I'm showing you a couple more areas in this room!

I got this coffee table awhile ago for a steal at an antique mall.

I created a new vignette on it, starting with a HUGE wicker tray that I got from Homegoods (with a Christmas gift card from my mom.)




I filled it with a large nest and eggs on an architectural base, a skinny topiary, and a metal lantern.




One of the first changes I made to this room (and showed you awhile ago) was placing this table in the corner of the room and leaning the tobacco drying basket on it.  I also hung the chippy old door, and added the huge cherub lamp to the top and postal bin to the bottom shelf.




I recently swapped in the hydrangea plant and some tall, distressed candlesticks (my mom surprised me with the tallest when I arrived in Tucson for vacation-love it!)




Between the couch and the table I stacked an old box and a crate, and topped them with an architectural base, candles and a glass cloche.




I also still have the old army trunk under the coffee table.




And beside the loveseat I placed a small bench holding a wire basket filled with a dried lavender bouquet.




I'm really happy with how this room has come together!

 I think I've achieved the lighter, brighter, French farmhouse look that I've been craving.




I'm almost finished showing you this room...I have just a couple more areas to reveal, next time. :)




I hope that you enjoyed.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
